ARIA Winter Version

The gashapon arrived on Tuesday and I was glad to have purchase this. The mini-figures are well crafted and done. It's a lot better than Toyswork which I glad I didnt get.

I was lucky to get another set of the popular young undines; Akari, Aika and Alice as spare since each box comprises 10 figures of 7 types.

It's now backordered at HLJ.


The box, the bookmarks???? and the mini-boxes.


Akari, Aika and Alice. Prima Akira, Athena and Alicia.


Akari, Ai, Alicia and Aria Sachou from ARIA Company


Akira, Aika and Himeya sachou from Himeya


Alice, Athena and Maa Sachou from Orange Planet

ARIA The Illustration Avvenire

Collected my ARIA The illustration Avvenire this morning from the post office. It arrived 2 days ago but I wasnt at home and I cant pick up until weekend.

I MUST SAY THIS IS AN AWESOME ILLUSTRATION BOOK!

This artbook comprises all the artwork for DVD, CD, PS and Promotional illustration for ARIA The Animation, ARIA The Natural, ARIA The Arietta and ARIA The Origination. In additionn, there are some illustration that I haven't seen before.

We are looking at 109 pages of illustration and 2 index listing the publication record of the illustrations.







My ARIA publication collection:

Final Fantasy Mini Collection 3

The Final Fnatasy Mini collection No. 3 arrived with my ARIA Best selection Piano book on the 6th January 2009. That's the day someone bumped into the car at my rear and that car bumped into me, so unlucky. The 3rd collection features Tidus, Rikku, Aerith, Balthier and Fran.


The heroes of Final Fantasy VII, VIII, X & VII with their weapon of choice, except for Vaan the slacker.


The heroines of Final Fantasy VII, VIII, X & VII.


Current collection from all 3 mini collections. The fourth box has not been revealed yet. We still got the following characters, though I think they'll concentrate on human characters.

Remaining characters:
* Sephiroth, Vincent, Barett, Red XIII, Cait Sith, Cid, Yuffie (FF7)
* Quitis, Selphie, Zell, Irvine, Laguna, Kiros, Ward, Seifer (FF8)
* Surprisingly no characters from FFIX
* Wakka, Lulu, Kimahri, Paine (FFX, FFX-2)

My prediction of the next 5 designs for Collection 4 is from Sephiroth or Vincent, Yuffie, Selphie, Wakka and Paine.

Bookcafe awesome

Beat that Amazon, Yesasia, Play-Asia. Ordered my stuff on Thursday and sent on Friday, arrived on Saturday.

Ordered 16 volumes of Prince of Tennis, HL2, Cross Game 11-12 and Tsubasa 24.

I couldnt get Aria 12, HL 1 and Prince of Tennis 41 as they are out of stock. Darn...

Still got 4 more books, Tsubasa 22 & 23, Pastel 19 and Aria 12. I try my luck with Yesasia on Aria 12. Not looking good as the other 3 are in stock now and Aria 12 still searching for suppliers.

I could have order them a lot earlier but Bookcafe upgraded to Verified by Visa card only, my cards cant complete the purchase process. Absolutely no problem with other site like HLJ, Amazon, Yesasia and Play-asia. Stupid. So I got myself a new card but by that time Aria 12 is out of stock.

Anyway, hope Yesasia can find one for me...

GSD Piano Book

My favourite song for the Gundam Seed/Gundam Seed Destiny series.

The piano book comprises 50 selection from the anime Gundam Seed Destiny. I dont play piano but another musical instrument. Had always want the original score as I find most transcribed are not accurate (or different keys) but I do appreciate the effort of all transcibers out there.

Available at Play-asia.

ARIA Origination PS2 II

Aria the Origination Aoi Wakusei no el Cielo Material Collection




Left: Agnes Dumas in 3 different undine uniforms
Right: Example of character profiles


Some scenes from the game.


Two of the most beautiful scene. Instead of having Akari or Alice for the hill scene and the promotion, you'd be able to experience the promotion from the choice of Alicia, Akira or Athena of your choice. Of course, must be the company you have chosen!


So you got promoted to single undine and the other undines congratulate you with a present

Received my ARIA Origination PSII Cielo gamebook. Basically the game offers role-playing as Agnes with a choice to join either of the 3 undine company. As you can see from the photos that I have taken, it's a good quality as the previous PS2 installment.

A wonderful collection for an ARIA fan!!!!

Available at Play-Asia.

ARIA Origination PS2 CD

The Theme CD for Aria Origination PSII arrived today. Expecting the PSII Gamebook to arrive maybe next week?? Available at Play-asia.

*Graceful Way / Hana No Saku Hoshi / Il Cielo (Aria The Origination - Aoi Wakusei No Il Cielo Theme Song)

Reminiscent Songs (Non Anime)

Not anime-related, only that I recently purchased 2 compilations from Yesasia. One's a compilation/collection of chinese love songs I used to listen when I was a decade younger.

Released last year, Forever Love~finest collection of timeless love songs collection features 2 CDs with 32 tracks in total.

Also released last year was a compilation of Jacky Wu's song, The essential. He has recorded several unforgetable song and yes, the songs fit my era, which is a decade ago.

So, gonna listen to them in car tomorrow on the way to work. Can't wait for it!!!!!!

Rush Hours

Yes, it has been rush hours everyday since I first start working but this is not a post to grumble on my working life.

I recently got hold of Rush Hour Boxset, which I have been anticipating since Rush Hour 2. I waited until the third installment before purchasing the DVDs. I have been a fan of Jackie Chan since small because of his fighting choreography, flexibility and imaginative skills and of course his Asian humour.

I was disappointed with Rush Hour 3 because there's no extra in that DVD. Did I bought it too early or what??? Both Rush Hour 1 & 2 have extras such as deleted scenes and other bonuses.

Anyway, I'd love to see more sequel to the series as it has always been enjoyable to watch. But the gick sorta repeating nowadays and always one's getting older and the other's getting fatter.
