After School Dress To Kill - Album Review (Limited Edition CD+DVD+Photobook Edition)

Finally got my hands on After School's second Japanese album Dress To Kill! It's been on my wishlist for a number of years but the edition I wanted was always too expensive. I lucked out and found the First Press Limited Edition available for sale on ebay. And for a decent price! But I'll talk more about that later, so let's take a little look at what's included and a review of the album.



There's three editions available of Dress To Kill. The Normal Edition, First Press Limited Edition and Mu-Mo Edition. The Normal Edition comes with the CD and includes the Japanese version of Flashback as a bonus track. The Mu-Mo edition was a Japan exclusive and includes Lucky Girl as the bonus track and you could get member editions of the CD. The First Press Limited Edition (the edition I got) comes with the following items:

  • CD - 12 track album.
  • DVD - Contains two music videos, additional version of Shh music video and footage of their 2013 Japan fan meet.
  • Lyrics Booklet
  • Photobook - 32 page
  • Photocard - random from 8 different types. 



First off, I absolutely love the design of this album! The colour combinations and the mod look is amazing. One of the main reasons I wanted to buy this album was just for the look of it. The album comes in a slip sleeve cover and the discs are located inside a DVD case box. The case and the photobook slide into the slip sleeve cover. Here's a look at the front and back of the covers (the sleeve and case have the same covers).



Back and Front of the case/sleeve cover.

Inside the case, there's a cool psychedelic design on the interior and on the CD and DVD's. The lyrics booklet is tucked in here and features all the songs lyrics and some photos of the group. The case is sturdy and none of the discs fall out during transport. Probably one of the best DVD cases I've ever gotten (had way too many cases with loose discs over the years).
