Arashi school calendar 2009-2010 preorder + details

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Since the previous post regarding preorders for Arashi's school calendar had webgains links in them and has been deleted, I'm going to repost the link(s) and include some information on what to expect this year:

- Published by Shogakukan
- Bi-weekly diary-styled main calendar (A5 size/210x148 mm, 128 pages)
- Additional special bi-monthly wall calendar (A3 size/420x297 mm, 7 pages)
- Bonus holographic stickers also included (A4 size/297x210 mm)

Random fact: The wall calendar will be shot by Ninagawa Mika, daughter of Ninagawa Yukio, the famous director whose stageplays had starred Nino and Jun before and is also the director of Ao no Honoo starring Nino.


Japanese preorder links:

Amazon.co.jp
HMV Japan
Rakuten/Neowing CD & DVD

English preorder links:
(I don't see anything up on CDJapan yet, but I'll add that once it becomes available.)

Yesasia

Random fact: Preorders for Arashi's calendar currently tops the daily bestseller ranking for photobooks at the Rakuten site.


In other words, if you haven't preordered already... you probably won't want to miss out on it this year. ♥

I just preordered it too! I'm not much of a diary calendar type but I'm really looking forward to the wall one! It feels so much better when I can see it the moment I come home. hehe~~

I was debating whether to buy this or not...this post sealed it for me.

*Off to YesAsia, can't wait for CDJapan*

as i don't have any experience ordering online from these places... i just wanted to ask which you guys usually prefer/recommend ordering from? i am soooo ready to preorder this :>
thanks in advance! (^-^)v

All the places listed above are reliable (though I have no personal experience to speak of HMV or Rakuten, but they are big, well known online vendors so there shouldn't be any trouble), but my personal favorite is CDJapan. Their site interface is the not the most pleasant, but their customer service is reliable and their prices and decent.

Hope I helped. (:

Looks like it's finally up on CDJapan: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=NEOTXJC9-1

The shipping cost from CDJapan seems pretty hefty though since it's quite heavy :\

gosh darn.. i only subscribed to arashi's newsletter on cdjapan so i didn't even know about it til they sent me the email yesterday.
