Buy the Limited Edition SP version : get a ticket for a "Limited Edition SP only handshake event" or you can get a voucher to exchange for a special gift : shitajiki (a under-sheet pencil board). Redeem your voucher and show your receipt at the H!P shops on July 17th. You can only exchange one ticket, and you cannot attend the handshake event if you exchanged it for a under-sheet.

Oooh! Sneaky. They just found a way to sell more CDs. Clever company.

[JonCC]

Given the choice I doubt many will choose a 'pencil board' over a handshake event.

[Shoujo Q]

They would just buy more copies to get both. Don’t underestimate the power of limited edition goods!

[Nayoko-Kihara]

^ Everyone looks very cute. However, I can't stop trying to figure out what that round metal(?) thing is on the floor between Kiki and Kisora.

[Celedam]

Electrical outlet, vacuum system port, reinforced posthole for equipment… <shrug>

Also, if I remember correctly, that area of the room has a raised floor, so it might be something structural.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I thought maybe something to do with electrical, but I hadn't considered the structural possibility. Makes sense either way, I suppose.

^ I agree. In an ensemble piece it's pretty common to see a few girls "phone in" some of their performance, but Maopin goes balls to the wall, representing like she's the front girl in her own video. I like how she emotes during "jikan ni" @ 2:44 especially compared with the girls after her. The song is, as I've said before, kind of a throwback to MM's Aichan-fronted era (e.g. Seishun Collection) type production quality, and for that reason pleasantly nostalgic but objectively unremarkable. More or less the same for the video itself. I really like that era so I'm not complaining tho.

This. I've been drifting from HP a bit lately but Tsubaki has renewed my interest somewhat and it might be that they seem to have inherited the remnant pieces of platinum-era/that era when literally C-ute/Berryz/Smileage all sounded like platinum-era MM.

I love the platinum-era sound and Tsubaki has really been pulling it off. I'm excited to see if their sales hold relatively well from the Teion Yakedo sales.
