Up till now I've collected all of their singles and pvs♥ with their most recent single "Akkanbe bashi" being so awesome!!! And yet with another somewhat unorthodox approach to idol♥ a~sides the mastermind behind AKB continues to expand the possibilities and amazing songwriting for this most adorable unit!
While "Akkanbe" isn't a hard cover release it more than makes up for this with the cutest of photography as well as the photo book itself being an extra thick read look~* with pretty dust jacket, obi and glossy covers to compliment.
It's really cool how so many AKB releases include randomly inserted photo cards (some of which are so large and not your typical trading card size!!!) and here with "Akkanbe" you'll receive one out of four possible member photos on the reverse side of the included large sized poster!! While I would have been slightly very partial to receiving the type A design featuring Mayuyu♥, I received type B and the sight of Rabutan was most awesome too~!!
It's just this nickname, Rabutan♥ I mean how can you not absolutely love that as a nick! And it seems that Rabutan has been appearing a bit extra for me with the recent flurry of Rabutan♥ photo cards which were randomly I mean purposely included with my "Akkanbe bashi" single releases~* o(*´∀｀)o゛！！！It seems my randomly~luck has been with Rabutan/Lovetan♥ and I'll see if this randomness continues on forward…(^q^)!
..well even the best laid plans often fail as I couldn't resist scanning nearly in entirety every single page as on a scale from 1-10 "Akkanbe" gets a 20♥+, it really is that cute っo(*´∀｀)o！！！In all I ended up scanning just over 90 pages over four hours of continues scanning (・o・)。。。！
And with the inclusion of sooooo much seifuku♥, bloomers, pajamas and bikinis I think it'll be every wota's dream~* photo book perhaps? Of course I'm all for seifuku♥ all the time XD and I believe there really should be a national all~seifuku♥ holiday where every girl dresses in them even if they're not attending school (。ーωー。)。。。but then ..
..there's the case of the bloomers. I've had a long running love/uncertain feeling about bloomers in general. On one hand they're great for athletics as they're comfortable and allow ease of movement without restriction and yet somehow it feels like you're running and jumping around in just your underwear at times which gives me an embarrassed feeling (・д・`*)。And yet they're extremely cute in this photo book…..I guess even idols♥ & bloomers always win ＼(^o^)／☆ And bloomers really should only be of this dark blue color by rule….I'm not sure why but they seem much more official this way :P.
A~h! and Harugon is so so cute~* in every photo!!!!!..she's a new favorite♥ of mine!

is it just me or all of the freebies you received from Akkanbe Bashi PB
and Kamikyou Tachi from CD Japan are all the same?? I also ordered from
CDJapan and got my items yesterday.i received the akkanbe
rabutan poster, the mayu pic inside the album, and the ono erena
shijitaki board. granted that the ono board was distributed specifically
for CD Japan, it boggles me that even the freebie found inside the
other items are the same. that also includes the Love Wars card inside
the single, it's also the same as yours.what im driving at is,
if i wanted a freebie of another girl featured – i need to buy from the
other stores? XD

I too was quite surprised~* to see both boards of the same member and while I'm not really sure how many available versions were produced it seemed a bit odd to receive two of Pyonko albeit she's so adorable in this photo. AKB is so large so what would be the odds ne~ (・c_・;)？。。it's so coincidental with the other goods though as Watarirouka Hashiritai's shashinshuu~* has its randomly inserted poster sent sealed from the publisher and yet we both have Rabutan (・д・`*)？？A~h four possibilities and so funny we yet again received the same member XD. W~ahhh you received the same photo and trading cards too omg! I know that "Kamikyoku Tachi" says its photos are randomly inserted out of 12 possible members so it's really something that we've got the same ones….hmm maybe Rabutan and Mayuyu are trying to tell us something….ah just trying to find some humor in it, I'm sort of odd that way…(^q^)!I wonder if the record label and publisher are aware of which cards and photos are in each of their releases even after they're sealed for shipment?…..if that is true then maybe HMV Japan may produce a different result perhaps. Still it'd be so odd if Cdjapan only receives a single featured member out of 12….would be odd and sad so I hope~* it's not true. I wonder what cards and posters other fans have received???..I hope someone else will share theirs here o(*´∀｀)o゛♥。Thank you~* for writing you pose a most interesting question ＾ ＾！

well based on the info i got from the forums, CDJapan definitely ships out Ono only as the shijitaki board. for the rest of the coincidences, i am still left wondering XD

That is so bizarre ne~*? (・c_・;)？。。。I just shopped for a Korin♥ shijitaki on Yahoo Japan Auctions….some were pretty pricey though =(….but I so want one as she's my most favorite o(*´∀｀)o゛♥！Hmm…I guess Cdjapan couldn't control the extra~* contents of the CD albums they distribute so with "Kamikyoku Tachi" and "Akkanbe" it's so coincidental that we both received Mayuyu~♥ and Rabutan~♥. I'm so tempted though seeing the other members in auctions all up for bid~*….just so expensive though to use a proxy but it seems one of the few options as most sellers in Japan Auctions won't ship outside of the country.

i share your sentiments over the wallet rape. i have been several of those and while it was indeed glorious to actually hold an authentic idol stuff in your hands, the rate of your money going down is waaay to fast when once uses proxies.i'm trying to control my expenses now. what sucks is for the next few months, Aki-P is already releasing lots of new swags.
