#10 Beautiful World

Beautiful World


9th full length album

2011.07.06
J-Storm
JACA-5270 (First Press)

7 new tunes with the already knowing 5 singles songs (to be free, love rainbow, Dear Snow, Hatenai Sora & Lotus), also: 5 new solo tracks! Maybe in the bokumite pattern with a shuffled tracklist?
First Press comes with a special lyrics booklet.

thanks to Izumi for the inside of the disc!

There’s also a JAL version (only available on the JAL planes). It’s the regular version with a special outer slipcase.

#09 Boku no Miteiru Fuukei

僕の見ている風景

8th album

2010.08.04
J-Storm
JACA-5233 (2CD)
JACA-5232 (first press)

Just like their To be free single only one version, released in a first press and regular version.
Online shops got crashed after they started the pre-order and after only a few days it was sold out everywhere. I’m pretty sure you won’t get any first press anymore in Japan unless you did a pre-order at the store in time.

The first press comes with a special 60P booklet with lyrics. The tracklist and solo songs got a bit shuffled on the two CDs a nice and new idea for an Arashi Album!

First CD contains 12 tracks (Troublemaker, Everything, My Girl) and the 3 solo songs of Sakurai, Matsumoto and Aiba.
Second CD contains 8 songs (Monster) and the 2 solo songs of Ohno and Ninomiya AND sora takaku!

There is also the JAL version (only available on JAL planes) who comes as the regular edition with a special slip case cover.

JACA-5064~65 (LE)
JACA-5066 (RE)

The limited edition is as hard to get as the ARASHIC LE album.
It doesn’t have a booklet, more like some pictures and lyrics, but it has a 2nd CD; 5 solo songs of the boys.

the limited edition is quite distinguishable from the regular edition with its simple yellow cover and their name.

JACA-5042 (RE)

It is NOT impossible to find this album but you may pay a great amount! One of the last CDs I will buy to complete my collection (maybe together with the 5×5 LE since it’s so pricey…)

the limited edition looks like this:

5th album

JACA-5025 (RE)

First of, the LE is really hard to get. I paid over 100USD for mine and I saw it in Japan in a shop for around 200 to 300USD (with a crack in the case and without OBI!) It’s one hell of an album though~

The limited edition:

has a really beautiful photoshoot. I love the grungy style of the pictures!
the inside of the booklet has pictures in the same style.

one disc is the CD (with Arashi written on it) and the other one is the DVD (‘A’)
on the DVD you can find the Making of One. A really interesting documentary~

oh and for anyone who is interested in it this is the OBI (it’s really big and all over the back):

Iza, Now!

4th album

JACA-5014 (LE)
JACA-5015 (RE)

The limited edition (see picture above) is hard to get. It’s size is quiet bigger than the normal CD
the case is also thicker. It comes with a booklet (thick paper) with some beautiful pictures
and a thinner paper with the lyrics and credits. The limited edition also has a DVD
with 5 selected clips as a little best off.

and the backside~

3rd album

JADA-5007 (LE)
JACA-5008 (RE)

The LE is hard to get!! I searched like everywhere until I fell upon a really nice seller.
But even here in the west I paid almost the same awful high amount than the Japanese ask.

I tend to mix the both versions but here is the regular edition:

the RE of this album, just like the HERE WE GO RE, cannot be found everywhere
anymore and some online shops don’t even sell it anymore too.
It can be found on auctions and actual music shops in Japan though.

HERE WE GO!

2nd album

J-Storm
JADA-5002 (LE)
JACA-5003 (RE)

The LE is definitely a bit harder to find but even the RE isn’t sold everywhere anymore.
You have to have a bit of luck an pay quite something to get these together.
I paid really cheap for this CD and was feeling really lucky~ found it in Japan in one of
their unofficial shops for a huge amount of yen!!

still missing the regular edition though…

HERE WE GO!

1st album

2001.01.24
Pony Canyon
PCCJ-00004 (RE)

the first album of the boys, features songs from their released singles up to this release.
It came as a normal CD version and a first press.

The first press came as a box with bonus.

the box:


(alphabetical order AMNOS <3)

the bonus; a set of stickers and bookmarks:

but I think there should be two bookmarks set, not so sure, but already saw these bookmarks in a different style
(camouflage color was darker like the CD itself). Information?
