A month! A Whole freakin month!! Well, to hell with you! And was this even worth waiting for? Was it worth making two separate orders?!
NOOOOOPE!
Okay, I forgive you for giving me a poster I already got since you have no control over that. But to give me the same poster twice?! Pls!
Well, rejoice dear Readers. I know some of you missed the OST so if you want them, I am putting these for order up on Ebay, with the posters of course. I will have to sell them separately since the posters are the same. Or maybe I should do the posters differently as well in case some just want the Soundtracks?
Anyway, I was ready to be disappointed but not like this!! I thought you were done with this stupid shipping lateness YesAsia! It’s been like, years since I last bought from you because your shipping sucked and yet you have not made any progress?!
Oh God, the happiness! The happinessssss! I am so very happy dear Readers! Oh my Lord! I love this movie so very much! I love everything about it! Nothing, and I mean nothing, has been a let down for me when it comes to The Handmaiden! Everything is just so perfect! So perfect I decided to but everything related to this movie! I don’t care that I don’t understand the language the good are in (I am looking at you Script Book), and I don’t care how much I need to dish out (bought four versions of the OST just to get the two above posters), this movie deserves everything after making me so damn happy!
And so today here comes the second swag of Ahgassi (the first being the Photobook). And my God, I feel like I just upgraded to higher plane of happiness than the one I was in before. And I thought I wouldn’t be more happier when it came to this movie! I was so wrong.
I had my doubts! Actually, as I opened up the box, my happiness plummeted quite a bit because there was only one poster holder. I was like – A_ah, I knew it! They would only give me one poster per purchase, doesn’t matter if I bought both the Hideo and Sook-hee version of the CD. It never even occurred to me that there might be more than one poster inside!
There were two posters inside! And you already know which ones!!! Like, how even?!! Let me tell you now, I am never lucky in things like this that require chance! I bought four version (other two from YesAsia) because I wanted to increase my chances! Well dear Readers, it looks like I don’t even need the YesAsia CDs anymore! In one hit, I got all the posters I wanted! In one hit…I don’t believe it!
I can only think this is because of The Handmaiden! This movie has been so good to me that it has even now increased my luck! Like, how am I supposed to love Ahgassi even more?! I already love it like no other!
With the posters, of course came the two CDs – The Hideo ver (with Sook-hee on the Disc) and the Sook-hee version (with Hideko on the Disc). The version sold on itunes store is of course the Hideko ver (as seen by the Sook-hee image used).
The other good that came with is the Script Book for the movie. As expected it is in the original languages only. By that I mean Japanese and Korean of course. But I am pretty sure that we will be seeing an English ver later on, especially after the movie hits English theatres from September and more hearts are stolen by The Handmaiden! For now I can only guess scenes from the Japanese, like the scene I took the photo of. That is the Scene where Sook-hee barfs at The Count’s attempt at seducing Hideko during the fruit painting lessons in the living room.
As for the OSTs, you already know what I am going to say in regards to the music – perfection! I have had the CD (Sook-hee vers since I have Hideko ver on Digital) playing all the day non-stop since I got the goods! It is oh so good! So good that I did not even bother skipping those lewd tracks as well even with other people in the house, because IIDGAF!
Ah, those tracks I am talking about are the ones with the sounds of Hideko and Sook-hee during that last sex scene with the bells! Yep, that is a track on the OST! Just pure sexy sounds that maybe anyone who hasn’t seen the movie would not know what they are doing! I mean, they are hearing bells, what could they possibly be doing with bells? (heh)
The music is just so good! And continuing on the awesomeness that this movie already is, they gave musicians a present out there by including sheet music for some of the songs so they can play themselves! Like, how not to love that!
To the less educated, there are lyrics (in Korean of course) and some pics in the booklet! They have everyone covered!
As for differences, I am sure there is something different from the Hideko ver as opposed to the Sook-hee version (other than the visible of course) so I will just keep on searching for them.
Meanwhile, I am still listening to this soundtrack and have already found my favourites, while I decide what to do with the yesAsia purchase. I don’t need it but the orders (yes, two of them) are already on their way here. I wonder if I can return them and get a refund? I will maybe wait and see what posters I get. If I got the 3P one, I will keep them. Otherwise, they are returning!
As for my favourite tracks:
My Tamako, My Sook-hee (Track 31)
The Footsteps of My Dear Love / Imi Oneun Sori (Track 38)
Wedding (Track 18)
The Tree From Mount Fuji (Track 01)
You’re My Baby Miss (Track 07)
Four Small Silver Balls (Track 36) <- DON’T SAY A WORD!!!!
Back at the end of last year, after Christmas, I was out looking for the Release of The Silenced because I wanted my Bluray and sadly while I did not find a BD version on sale any where, I did find the DVD versions on YesAsia.
Yeah, I know but since it was a Special Edition and also had English Subs, I figured what would be the harm in getting myself a copy! And so I ordered one. I just did not expected it to take a frikking month to arrive!!! Like what year is this, the 19th Century?! And it wasn’t even a free shipping option I went for! Needless to say, I was reminded of why I stopped buying from that site!
But I had no choice seeing as no other place I knew of sold the DVD so I went and placed the order anyway. But really, who takes a month to ship a simple DVD!! I don’t think wherever YesAsia is located that it is that different from Japan or even Thailand.Only three days it takes to ship from those countries, a week without International Express!
Anyway, enough of that, the DVD has a couple of photos and a Booklet. I can’t wait to re-watch it with better subs after it is done encoding (I don’t like watching things on disc. Screen captures are a nightmare!).
Jump over for some quick scans I took of some of the photos and booklet. Most of them are familiar but oh well…
Hi all, nothing major, just more scans and photos of more of the goodies that came over the holidays. This Christmas was all about amazon Japan shopping!
In here we have two Idol LIVE BDs, two Movies and two PBs. That TGS BD is the one I mentioned in the last post but I realised I did not scan it so I have included it here. It came with a booklet with photos that Mei-ting, the current leader, took of the girls when they went to London last year. Apologies for no scans since they weren’t that interesting but if anyone wants them, I can scan the booklet.
but I did not own the DVD and that just can’t do so I went and got myself a copy as well. Hey, with all this Hydrogen bomb scares from North Korea, it is time to prepare for Fallout and I don’t need no thing other than yuri, and DIVA in my life, thank you!
X21 is growing on me and while I ship Miho and Mai, I have got an obsession with Miho and Manami. It seems like every Making of now has something of the two. They remind me of MaiHIME’s Mai and Mikoto with their physique similar to those of mentioned anime girls, the age difference and curious relationship. I mean how am I to resist this…
Notice Mai the Waifu next to them?
They are just so much fun and Miho doesn’t even hold back being all childish with Manami. They just put a smile on my face when they are together which is very different to when Miho is with Mai. If it was a family with Miho being the father and Mai the mother to Manami’s child, then she is such a Daddy’s girl ^^ Hit the jump for more fun caps of Miho and Manami. And how interesting that both of their names start with I and M!
Then there is that Under-water PB! Its glorious! Just let me enjoy it a bit and I will scan it after the exams and down with (In the middle of currently. Stupid exams!). The other PB is all about bloomers and girls doing high school girl things, you know, crazy things! I might or might not scan that as it is more of girls playing than it being yurific.
I hope that you are having a wonderful time like I am right now. While others got more meaningful gifts, yours truly just got €400 worth of Japanese Goodness! I bought 18 products this Christmas which included;
My Girl/A Girl at my Door
Grey Crow/Haiiro no Karasu
Noushou Sakuretsu Girl
Jinroh Game
Shibuya Maruyama Story
Tokyo Girls’ Style 5th Anni Live
Four Mooks
More Movies
A couple of CD
Yeah, Japan will be the death of me! And yes, I have already watched Jinro Game, Shibuya Maruyama Story, Grey Crow and A Girl at my Door but I just had to get my own copies, you know in the case that the world goes to hell and I have to be stuck underground I need to take my yuri BDs and DVDs with me, as well that those fics I printed out because they were so good! Hey, you can never be to careful!
The reason why I did not buy that new movie with Aonami Jun and Nakayama (Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku – Hey, that’s three girls in movies this past year from Ebichu!!!) is because I was lied to! The trailer was so misleading! I was so mad while watching that movie you don’t even have a clue! Forget cute girls, I deleted that movie so fast my PC almost crashed!
And also as usual, this purchase also has TGS in it! Of course there would be! You know, right now I can’t argue that TGS is my favourite Idol Group! Well, was seeing as they are no longer ‘Idols’. With AKB going down the drain I need to find another group and sadly it seems that I am returning back to the roots that is H!P. Isn’t it funny? H!P got me into the Idol world and it looks like they are taking me back. I am just so in love with Kobushi, Country Girls and MM15. Angerme was my favourite after Berryz but seeing as my favourite girl there has just announced her graduation (Why MeiMei, why?!!!) I guess Angerme is off the list! But if Haruna leaves, I am done with H!P as well.
Yes, I am still with the 48G but only where Mayuki are concerned! No Mayuki, no AKB full stop! And while Yukirin has been a Goddess for all these freakin years, I just have a feeling that she is about had enough of being raped by AKS so all I am waiting for is the over-due announcement. I wish she does it together with Mayuyu. AKS needs a middle finger for their faggotory!
Okay, right here and right now, I am announcing that I give up on AKS! I don’t care what they do anymore from now on! I am not ever mentioning anything of them ever again! I swear this to you all my my witnesses dear Readers!
