Here's today's haul from Kinokuniya in San Francisco. Not everything is H!P-related, but all the items include idol-related stuff:
They were having their semi-annual-ish $2 magazine back issue sale, so I went a little crazy. There's actually more H!P in the mix than is apparent from the covers alone. The issue of
CD Data with SCANDAL on the cover, for example, contains interviews with Yajima Maimi and Kikkawa You, as well as their usual Morning Musume。'14 and "Reina's Music Style" corners. The issue of
Quick Japan on the left, in addition to having Satoda Mai's hubby posing with his favorite idol group on the cover, contains interviews with Michishige Sayumi and Up Up Girls (Kari).
The CDs were also sale-priced.
Those of you in the S.F. Bay Area should note that Kinokuniya S.F. have put the majority of their upstairs (non-anime) music on sale for 50% off. Not only CDs, but music DVDs and Blu-rays, as well. So if you've had your eye on anything in that section, chances are that it's now on sale. There are still about a dozen H!P-related items in stock, all of them 50% off.
I've been waiting nearly five years for them to slash the price on that Matsuura Aya CD.
This was the first time I've bought a Sakura Gakuin CD; it contains a track by the now world-famous "重音部 BABYMETAL".
