Yuki Kajiura Vol.9 Shibuko Special ~ Blu-ray Unboxing

Okay... I lied... :) I decided to do the unboxing tonight because I feel a little rested enough to do it and because I am really excited about this BD.  So I decided to try and do the unboxing while I "watch" a bit of the BD.

It'll be picture heavy again because I really need to sleep ASAP.



The above are the photos of the the casing with the cover insert. I included a photo of the front of the case with the shrink wrap still on and the shrink wrap off.



Photos of the inside of the case and the blu-ray itself.

    

Here's the BIG surprise for me.  While I expected to get an small booklet inside, I did not expect postcards. We get 3 post cards... VERY NICE!!  Am happily surprised.



Here's a really horribly shot photo of the back of the postcards.  It was really hard to get a good focus on my cel phone and I didn't really feel like trying too hard since it's a pretty simple print.

  

Here are 2 photos of the booklet.  It's only 6 pages.  Hmmmm... I should have gone ahead and shot photos of all the pages since it's so thin but... ah well... it's a little late for that now.

First impressions ~

So far... while writing this unboxing, I have "watched" (essentially just listened :) ) to the first 4 songs.  The 5th song, "every time you kissed me" is playing now.  Just really quickly... I must say... I am totally loving Keiko in the first 4 songs.  And I must give her a huge thumbs up for her English enunciation.  It's really pretty good considering that English isn't her first language.  She's come a long way.  That said, that is the least important thing to me... what I really liked is that she sounds AMAZING!!

I want to wax lyrical about how good she sounded with Hanae Tomaru in "lotus" or how sweet she sounded in "long forgotten cloistered sleep" or how nuanced she sounded in "I swear" but... I desperately need sleep. :(

I have a long day ahead tomorrow and I really do like my job and my current shot is really quite interesting... so need to rest... tomorrow I go back to battle.... so... sadly... must stop my BD now. :(  Maybe, if I have time and feel inspired enough, I may write more about my impressions about the music in the BD.... we'll see.  Now it's playing "I reach for the sun" and so far I am sooooooo loving this BD.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the music!!! :)

Also... I wanted to write this the other day... the JVC FictionJunction website has changed it's opening page to reflect this new release.
