Some grabs of Acchan from the new HP CM:

Wow HP is fast in changing their CM girls. I don't have anything about Kaoru but why include her in this, it could have been an all first gen CM... I wanna see Miichan and Takamina instead.

Thanks for the share.
Again I know Mariko is 1.5 so please don't comment it.

I am in love with this photo:

Why must they release a photobook when I just spent all my money!?
Screw it, I'll just pre-order it before you crazy people hoard it till it's out of copies
*Adds to awesome Acchan photobook collection*

I think i'm ordering from yesasia this time.
CDjapan costs too much on shipping fee
Amazon is kinda expensive too

Preordered mine as well! If you like the free shipping option then Yes Asia is cheaper, however if you prefer tracking and signature, then CDJapan is cheaper. Their shipping costs are more, but the actual price cut on the items themselves is significantly cheaper than Yes Asia. With tracked shipping, total cost was $3 cheaper on CDJapan and the more you are ordering the bigger the gap gets. I personally prefer to track my shipment when I order more expensive things that I don't want to get lost in the postal system.

Can't wait for this photobook to arrive. Just got Atsuko's DVD in the mail today as well!

Really depends on your choice. Indeed, CDJapan has insanely expensive shipping for books due to weight.
But in this case, it is essentially the same between CDJapan and YesAsia. Only $1-2 difference...but CDJapan ships faster and arrives faster (In my opinion).

YesAsia still has a decent service even for free shipping...my CD was 5 days past its assumed arrival date, YesAsia was like "oh, we'll ship you another copy then". In the end, I got 2 copies............*cough*...do note, I only paid for 1 copy and I didn't even pay again for the reship.

BTW, whatever happened to her 2nd solo single? There was already a brief preview on it (or i'm just hearing things now...), now it seems as if everyone has forgotten about it.

Well..I personally didn't hear anything about her 2nd solo
The only thing i know is tomochin is releasing a 3rd one

[UltidarkTiablo]

2nd Solo?! I knew nothing of this. Would be awesome if it's true. I really like shipping with CDJapan's Fed Ex option. It's cheaper than EMS and it literally is on my doorstep overnight from when it leaves Japan. It's fantastic.

Side question, for anyone who might know. A friend and I are trying to get tickets to a show in November to see AKB (Hopefully team A) perform. I was wondering if Atsuko performs regularly for the Team A performances, or if she misses them rather frequently due to all the other stuff she is involved with? Really, really hoping to get to see Atsuko.

I've never ordered off YesAsia, always done CDJapan. I paid for EMS... give me my PB in less than a week!

There was some song on a CM some weeks back that people thought was going to be Acchan's 2nd single. Nothing really came out of it though.

She's not a regular... in fact she's right up there with worst attendance records Last year she didn't even get a birthday show! If she's not involved in a drama or movie around that time chances are slightly higher she'll perform at a Team A show.

Acchan is BEAUTIFUL. That is all.

I showed my friend a photo of acchan, he agreed with me.

Goodnight everyone! Or morning/afternoon/evening wherever you are?

I'll save for you Acchan!

I tried FedEx too. And they charged me a $16 brokerage fee or whatever fee for 3 CDs which the total value was only ~$60. And same for UPS, they charged me ~$40 bucks for something that was less then $100.

I think it's a Canadian thing, but that just pissed me off So no more FedEx/UPS for me.

P.S Just watched the newest ep. of Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikata. A very touching episode about haruka and her leg...and her G+ friend

Oh, that makes me nervous. I really hope she will be performing. I might die if she's not there. Absolutely love Atsuko and really want to see her perform in person.

Yeah, where and what was the video? I don't remember it anymore and I can't seem to find it...

Indeed, it's a Canadian thing. I even avoid EMS because of customs fees. I rather get my stuff later than get charged an unnecessary amount of money for stupid reasons.

wiki:
Chazuke, is a simple Japanese dish made by pouring green tea, dashi, or hot water over cooked rice roughly in the same proportion as milk over cereal, usually with savoury toppings.

Thanks, I'm gonna have to try this.

Just realized that i forgot to change my avatar even though I switched my oshi (kasai-->acchan) 2 years ago.
Ha~ Finally i could say i'm an Acchan Oshi/Wota

It's easy to make, plenty of instant mixes like the one in the CM. Grab it from a Japanese supermarket! I often have it when I'm too lazy to cook food.
