Some K-Pop Goodness In The Mail

Apink Secret Garden CD, SNSD's Galaxy Supernova Single, Japan Tour DVD 

Another banner day here as not only did my new Girls Generation releases come in (the new Japanese Single “Galaxy Supernova/Do The Catwalk” and the Japan Concert Tour DVD), the first CD of my new K-Pop Faves APINK  also came in!!! So Stoked!
  About a month or two ago, Soompi had a special on the new Apink album “Secret Garden” which not only came with a bonus photocard, but came autographed by all six members! Well, I was a bit too late to get it myself, but I DID manage to find someone selling theirs, (albeit at a slight markup, but that’s what I get for coming so late to the party!) and as I’m right now falling so much in love with these girls I couldn’t be happier!

Now, onto the MAIN prize here, the Girls Generation Girls and Peace Japan Concert at Saitama Super Arena!!! Though most of the Japan releases have been mostly of the Jewel-Case type, Girls Generation's releases have ALWAYS gone just a little bit further, and this new DVD set is no exception! With a mylar slipcase containing a Concert T-shirt, thick glossy photobook, Two DVDs featuring the Concert as well as backstage footage of the Girls’ Tour, this was a collectible that I’m proud to add to my SNSD Collection! Ooh, and if THAT wasn’t enough, this DVD set came REGION FREE, so I was able to blast this baby on my Bluray Home Theater setup! SO COOL!!!

Girls' Generation Girls and Peace DVD

  As I’ve gushed and raved about before in an earlier post, the fancam concert coverage of the Girls and Peace Concert was of such high quality and shot so well, I was actually a bit worried that I might have a hard time enjoying the official DVD release, silly as that sounds! But I shouldn’t have worried- the concert was as awesome as any fancam footage, and all in crisp picture quality and sound! And one more thing that the official release has is the close-up shots of my beloved girls as well as multi-shot angles of the stage!

  Like I’ve gushed before, this Concert Tour just has to be one of the best yet, awesome songs from both the first Japanese Girls Generation release as well as the songs from the new Girls and Peace album, as well as a few from the current “I Got A Boy” album like Express 999 and the titular IGAB, innovative stage sets (utilizing the huge widescreen as a backdrop) and BOY! Some of the prettiest and SEXIEST outfits ever!!!!

 For me, some of the absolute highlights are their performances of “Paparazzi”, "Animal", “Reflection”, “Time Machine”, "Express999", “Diamond” and a moving perf of “All My Love Is For You” (Tiffany especially looked really into it, and the end where Sunny pops a bubble floating by her just MADE the song for me!), additionally some really cute and fun perfs of “My J” “Go For It” and “Gee”, and as an added bonus , disc two contains dance version shots of “Boomerang”, “Diamond”, and what is probably my favorite single performance on this DVD, a dance version of the hot “Reflection’!!
  Yup, seems like all my money is going to these K-pop releases here and there, but when they’re as awesome as these are, I’m gonna keep on keepin' on!!!
