hatenaimirai_eThe Hanadan Final US release is today, but no one seems to actually have it in stock, which means I'll have to order it online. I wanted to be able to go and buy my half naked Jun movie in person, dammit. TT_TT
In other news, my mom and I are going up to Mitsuwa, either Friday or Saturday. I've mapped out a new way to get there, so hopefully this time it won't take almost two hours to go the last five miles. In theory it's to go grocery shopping, but of course I plan to wander over to Sanseido as well. Not only do I intend to see what magazines they might have, I'm hoping to find a food/cooking related dictionary, because I've seen some really fun looking Japanese cookbooks, but can't use them.
Hmm... I wonder if Sanseido would have the US release of Hanadan. Maybe I'll look for it there, and if it's the same price, I'll pick it up then. It's not like I'm waiting to watch it or anything, I just want a copy to encourage further releases here. And so that I don't have to burn it to dvd myself. XD
And finally, since I'm in the mood to procrastinate, I want to do some more top five lists. (I'm still doing my top five Jun body parts, I swear.) So, ask me about my top five of anything, regardless of what it is. Doesn't have to be Arashi related. If it's something I know about, I'll do it. XD

Top Five Non-arashi JE groups, okay? And Top-five Aiba animal related moments!

Date: 2009-08-26 02:02 am (UTC)Saturday is probably more likely for me, though I'd prefer to go on a weekday myself. It just depends on my mom's schedule.
Hmm, as long as my top five JE groups come with the understanding that I know practically nothing about anyone else musically. XD

Date: 2009-08-26 01:45 am (UTC)I've had Hanadan preordered on Amazon for a while, so they should be mailing that out soon.

Date: 2009-08-26 02:08 am (UTC)Plus there's a Sanseido, Shiseido, and a few other stores in the shopping center as well. And every time I'm in there I have to tell myself I'm not allowed to stop and check out the KDDI booth either.

Date: 2009-08-26 06:18 am (UTC)I didn't know the Hanadan movie got licensed in the US! I dunno if I'd buy it though. It was a highly ridiculous movie. XD What stores are selling it, do you know?
no subject
Date: 2009-08-26 10:36 pm (UTC)The usual places (Borders, Best Buy, Amazon, B&N) have it up for order, but no one seems to actually have it in the bricks and mortar store.
Ahh, the ridiculousness is part of the reason why I love the whole series, so the extra over-the-top-ness of the movie didn't bother me. XD

Date: 2009-08-27 02:46 am (UTC)It was...too much for me. XD The super sweet parts made it okay, but really? The movie was about a tiara. I could not handle it. And I really found the fact that it was supposedly her parents' way of testing their relationship hard to believe. I was watching the movie and I was like REALLY? ...REALLY??! XD;;
