Two comments. One, it seems like a lot of bands are releases photobooks recently eh? If it’s a band I like, I always like having them because I think they’re interesting. And secondly, does anyone else totally not  appreciate Miku’s shorts? (*doesn’t like shorts to begin with*).

  4. tuyet.mai says:

    .(T-T).
    I want to buy the photo album but the website is in Japanese.
    Is there any another way that I can buy/reserve it??

  5. Hina says:

    0.0 I want this badly. I hope it isn’t a Japan-only release.

  6. Adrienne says:

    Well, it’s not going on sale through any CD stores so the only way I think you’d be able to get it is by using a shopping service to buy it for you.

  7. xhimax says:

    Miku shouldn’t wear pants that short D: and without leo print!

    And I’m saving money for my trip to Tokyo and then all those releases… DD:
