Rainbow Over The Rainbow Special Edition - Album Review - Limited Edition B (CD+DVD)

I'm back for part two of my Over The Rainbow Special Edition review! Last time I reviewed the Limited Edition C of this release and this time I'll be looking at the Limited Edition B which has my favourite cover out of all the editions. Just look at how pretty the girls look on this cover and it's so colourful which is perfect for a group called Rainbow!

Over The Rainbow Special Edition is the re-release of Rainbow's first and only Japanese album. It was released in December 2012 and comes in three editions: Limited Edition A CD+DVD, Limited Edition B CD+DVD and Limited Edition C 2CD. As I mentioned in my previous review, I have both editions B and C which I got from Yahoo Auctions in Japan. Limited Edition B of Over The Rainbow Special Edition has the following contents:

• CD - 10 track album
• DVD - Contains various live performances
• Lyrics booklet
• DVD case
• Promotional flyer

The Limited Edition B release of Over The Rainbow Special Edition comes in a DVD style case. I'm kind of on the fence about these types of cases. They are super easy to store but incredibly boring. This one is even that standard black DVD case and it would've been nice in a clear one at least. The front cover has the girls hanging out in a street style backdrop with various props. Each member is dressed in pants in their corresponding rainbow colour. 

Here is one of the few times I can take a photo with the spine showing! I don't do this often as it's tricky to take nice detail photos but at least this is one positive about the DVD case. Inside the case, the lyrics booklet is stuck into some tabs to hold it in place and the two discs can be found on the right hand side. Both the CD and DVD have the same design of teal/blue lines across the discs. Not as nice as the edition C discs which are two different colour shades. There is no OBI strip for this release or for any of the editions.

Rainbow Over The Rainbow Special Edition - Album Review (Limited Edition C 2CD)

The next music review on Marzipan Wonderland is from a group I haven't reviewed on this blog. It's one of my favourite second generation K-Pop groups Rainbow! I was pretty late to getting into Rainbow and by that I mean they were no longer active when I discovered them. So far I've only got two releases from the group in my collection and one of those is their Japanese album Over The Rainbow which I'll be reviewing today!

Over The Rainbow Special Edition is the re-release of Rainbow's first and only Japanese album. It was released in December 2012 and comes in three editions: Limited Edition A CD+DVD, Limited Edition B CD+DVD and Limited Edition C 2CD. I've got both Limited Edition B and Limited Edition C in my collection and I brought both of them from Yahoo Auctions. Limited Edition C of Over The Rainbow Special Edition has the following contents:

• 2CD - Two discs containing both Japanese and Korean releases
• Lyrics booklet
• Jewel case
• Promotional flyer

The front and back cover are very on point for a group called Rainbow. Both sides feature photos of the group members in their corresponding rainbow colours. The background features some rainbow stripes and even the group logo is colourful. It's like a rainbow overload! I love the lettering of the 'special edition' title and it stands out well from all the rainbow. The back cover contains the track listing for the two discs along with production information. This CD is a tad confusing as the print notes it as a compilation however online stores and information sites list it as a album. The special edition releases were counted as additional versions of the original Over The Rainbow album therefore they did not chart on Oricon.
