Hello! Project

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/HKXN-50043

That's it. There are many more AKB48/Nogizaka46 items, at deeper discounts. Interpret that as you wish.

Beyond that, however, the selection supports the argument that limited editions with DVDs don't sell anymore.

Wow, so few! :0

Also! When it rains, it pours Sharan Q shirts!

This year's haul was my smallest since 2003 (the first year I bought H!P stuff: only five items). I didn't go to Japan this year, which always cuts down on the amount of stuff that I buy, and I only did one round of Yafuoku auctions through FromJapan. Most significantly, I stopped buying new MM｡ singles after the 60th/Riho's graduation, which just means that I'm now treating them more like other H!P groups; I'm still going to buy their albums and PV collections when they come out.

CD Japan now offers a proxy shopping service similar to Tenso.com…

Goal for 2015: beat last year and buy more than 13 CDs.

NGL, I hate how obnoxiously big K-POP albums are, but that's what they gotta do if they wanna sell...

[Shoujo Q]

I just got the UTB+ magazine that C-ute was on the cover and the H!P special, full of H!P members. It's been a few years since I've bought a UTB issue of any kind.

They shrunk in size and the paper quality has really gone down hill, it's very flimsy. I feel like if I hold it for long it might just crumble in my hands. I guess magazines really are a dying breed if this is anything to go by. I'm rather saddened by that fact. But on the other hand, compared to American magazines, it's pretty amazing they can have so much content without a half of the magazine being just adds. So kudos for that.

[Denki]

CDJapan sell is about to end in a few hours. They only had two H!P released. Lol
