Last year, I bought Nogizaka46's first album, Toumei na Iro Type A Hongkong version... only to get disappointed.
Type A includes two CDs, a DVD and a mini photo book. But don't be fooled by the amount of the content it has. Seventy percent of it were recycled. Out of the 29 tracks from the two CDs, only eight were new excluding the OVERTURE (lol). Disc 1 contains all A-sides from their Debut single to Nandome no Aozora ka while Disc 2 has the B-sides that were chosen by fans. Most fans technically voted for songs they already own only to buy them again. The DVD, on the other hand, is a digest of Nogi's summer concert which happened two years before Toumei na Iro's release. The only saving grace is the classy mini photo book that contains solo shots of all current members.
Although the fans who buy every Nogi releases will find it not that worth it, it's a good "investment" to those who are still new to the group because technically, it really has a lot of content.
...And at least the packaging looks elegant.
The photo book and the lyrics booklet are separated.
I could still see the effort even in the lyrics booklet.
And for the main course, the photo book.
Because it contains the shots of ALL solo shots of members, I uploaded a few just to give you an idea on how classy it looks.
