Zenmarket Haul - E-girls Albums

My recent order from Zenmarket has officially taken the crown of being my favourite thing ordered online. I recently won an auction on Zenmarket for a set that contained three E-girls albums but not just any albums. The albums were the 2CD+3DVD+Photobook versions of some albums I had been wanting for years. So firstly, here are the three albums I received in the set: E.G Time, E.G. Smile- E-girls Best- and E.G. Crazy.

E.G. Crazy, E.G. Smile E-girls Best & E.G. Time

Now I had been after these versions of the albums for years but never brought them as they are quite expensive brand new. The E.G. Crazy version is 6980JPY which is about $100AUD for me. The albums I received are about around the 6000JPY mark so quite pricey as well. So how I ended up with this set was that I was scrolling through Zenmarket one day and came across a listing for all three of these albums for a starting price of 2000JPY. I was the first bidder and the auction ended up having 8 bids. It was the first time I had bidded against other people so that was nerve wracking. And to make it more difficult, I was also in the outback at the time and luckily near somewhere that I could connect to mobile data to bid. So it was an adventure to get these but I'm over the moon to finally have them and the final auction price was 3350JPY (without fees and shipping). I had recently won some credit from Zenmarket so it was exciting to spend the credit on something that was the whole reason I started using Zenmarket for in the first place.

I'll quickly go through the albums I received and will be posting more detailed reviews of the albums in the future. First off, here is the E.G. Crazy 2CD+3DVD+Photobook version. I already owned this album digitally but wanted this version for my collection. It comes with the 2CD's which are the album and 3DVD's. The first DVD is the music videos and the other two are concert DVD's. This album was the largest of the three and came with the original plastic wrapping.

E-Girls E.G. Time - Album Review (CD+DVD Edition)

When people ask me who my favourite music artist is, I always say E-Girls. Now most people have no clue who E-Girls are and then I have to spend 10 minutes explaining the concept of the group and why it has so many members. I've been a fan of the group for a few years now but only got seriously into collecting their discography in the last year. A while ago, I received a copy of E.G. Time which was the first album that got me interested in the group. So now it's time to review this amazing album!

E.G. Time is the third full album released by Japanese girl group E-Girls. It was released in 2015 in five editions: CD+3Bluray, CD+3DVD, CD+Bluray, CD+DVD and CD Only. The limited edition editions included a bonus remix CD and a photo book was included in the 3Bluray/3DVD editions. I purchased the CD+DVD edition and it was the Taiwan release which was a bit cheaper than the normal Japanese CD+DVD edition . This edition comes with the following:

• CD - 15 Track Album
• DVD - Containing MV's and COLORFUL LAND 2014 Document Movie.
• OBI
• Lyrics Booklet
• Taiwanese Lyrics Booklet

The front cover of E.G. Time has a girl wearing a 1950's/Varsity style outfit that features the E-Girls logos. The CD+DVD edition has a green colour theme and other editions have other colour schemes. Alternative covers were available exclusively in Japan that feature all the girls in the group. The back cover has a fun rainbow design and the contents of both the CD and DVD are listed. The CD and DVD have an interesting geometric style design on them and match the colourful scheme of the album.

J-Pop Albums - E-girls, Dream Ami & AOA

Ordered some J-Pop albums recently from YesAsia and they arrived today! The ones I brought were AOA's Runway album, Dream Ami's Lovefool - Sukidatte Itte single and E-girls' E.G. Time album. I've had my eyes on the E-Girls album for a while and finally brought it. Both the AOA and E-girls' albums are the Taiwanese versions as they came with the bonus DVD and were a good price. The Dream Ami single has the most gorgeous packaging and came with the sleeve packaging which I love because it keeps the albums in great condition when storing them.

I will post some reviews on all theses albums soon as well as AOA's Angel's Knock which I received recently also with After School's Dress To Kill album. I've already done a review of Dress To Kill and spoiler alert - it's amazing.
