Though I got the digital version of Utada Hikaru’s excellent “Bad Mode” back in January 19, the physical CD wasn’t going to be released until the 23rd of February so I had a wait!
When it was announced that Red Velvet would be releasing their first full-length Japanese album “Bloom” on February 2nd, I hastily added it to my order so I could get double the pleasure!
Well, things didn’t turn out that easy!I soon read the news that red Velvet would be delaying their release for an unspecified time, leaving my order in limbo!
Lucky I already had that digital version of Bad Mode or I’d be climbing the walls!
Finally on March 12th I found that Red Velvet’s Bloom would be released on April 6th, and JUST today, I finally got my Order!!! Yatta!
The Utada Hikaru packaging for Bad Mode was very curious one in that it seemed to be styled like a low-budget home-made affair, with only a picture of a shipping box label as the cover, and pics of Utada in what looked like sweats hanging out at home. Is she trying to shake the superstar image?

The red Velvet release, on the other hand, was a Reveluv fan’s dream!
In the initial ordering, you could choose between 8 different versions, 3 group versions and 5 individual member versions.
Naturally I chose the “Irene” version as she’s been my RV bias since the beginning, and I was treated to a beautiful cover and back featuring Miss Bae Joohyun in all her lovely elegance!

But opening up the CD Case, I discovered something that blew my mind- usually when they offer different versions, it’s only the cover that’s different and the insides all the same.
But I was to find that the ENTIRE BOOKLET was completely pics of Irene, all throughout the lyrics and credits! And what pics they were…WOWOW, MAN, These were some of the most stunning pics of her ever!!!!
