Package from YesAsia... oh Nana-sama~

I am blogging this as the cd is playing!!!

MIZUKI NANA!! whoaaaaaaa... waaaa... weeeeee~

...Ahem, pardon my sudden outburst of excitement. There is a reason behind this, and it is all because:

^ I already blurred my address, so don't bother

My one and only pop-idol Mizuki Nana's limited edition GREAT ACTIVITY album (released Nov 14 '07) and LIVE MUSEUM x UNIVERSE concert dvd has finally arrived at my mailbox!

And it is my first ever online transaction to boot! YesAsia, cheers to you!

YesAsia shipped me a free Sakura Taisen gashapon too (far right)

Remember the post I made on my previous birthday that I will definitely get her live concert dvd? I fulfilled it, and it didn't take as long as I speculated for it to happen~

Great Activity album was US$32.75, while Live dvd cost US$72.25, thus totaling to US$105.00. That's about a little below S$150 when converted I believed, which isn't inexpensive imo. Heck, I would even fork out that amount without hesitation just for her actual concert tickets.

Bah, next goal: buy ticket to fly to Japan and watch her live performance.
...That is sooo going to be hella' difficult. T_T

Anyway, I will need to pay back my mum the cost since I used her credit card. No worries though, I am not anywhere near broke at the moment, plus I am going for another job next week which will more than cover for my bills.

I mentioned a bit that YesAsia was nice enough to throw in a freebie. It's a gashapon, or coin-operated collectible figure of Iris from Sakura Taisen. In all honesty, the quality of Iris is pretty poor, but you can't expect much from capsule toys ('tikam-tikam') anyway.
It is nevertheless still cute, and I like Iris, so all is fine with me. =)
*I actually was hoping I had gotten Coquelicot instead, but whatever la.

With the addition of Great Activity, I have gotten hold of 5 of the seven albums Nana-sama had released thus far. I am still short of Supersonic Girl (debut album) and Magic Attraction (second album).

my lil' Mizuki Nana collection

It will be cool if I can collect all of them before the end of this year, as:
- it is her 7th year officially as a singer
- has released 7 albums
- year 2007
- the name 'Nana' sounds like 'seven' in Japanese
= I have all albums by then, which will give me bragging rights over this

Blast, I should have ordered them altogether. Never mind, I will just make another online purchase. December will be a good time, oh yeah~
