long good byeMaki AsakawaThe Real Cool Japan
From time to time, I like to take a chance on a musical artist I've never heard of. Although, already being a big fan of female Japanese singers means buying this 2-CD set of Maki Asakawa wasn't really much of a risk. This is a superb collection of songs showcasing a classy, elegant performer. Asakawa was an incredible vocalist, with a smooth, sexy voice, full of passion. Most of the songs here are from the 1970s, including several live recordings. It's the kind of music that makes me stop what I'm doing and listen intently. The photo booklet included is remarkable. Maki was incredibly photogenic and the camera adores her cool, confident yet detached features. The B+W photos are superbly artistic, a fine work of art in their own right, in addition to the marvelous music.

Kyogen [CD + DVD + BOOK / Limited Edition]AdoWorth the price and more
The CD and DVD are both great and look good and the box they come in is very well designed as well and even though I don't know how to read Japanese the book is still nice to have and is very visually appealing.

LUMINOUS [w/ Magazine, Limited Edition / Type B]SCANDALFirst CDJapan purchase; would recommend!
First of all, I'm really enjoying the album even if not every track was an immediate love. Very cozy, with a few more upbeat tracks scattered in. I've loved SCANDAL since approximately 2015 and this is my first physical album purchase. I also lucked out with a first press edition and exclusive photocard! Secondly, I am so pleased with CDJapan as a carrier. The prices, shipping included, are super reasonable especially at the cheapest shipping option (granted, I live in the US, so this may differ depending where you live outside of East Asia). I took the risk of saving a few dollars for a non-insured, no-tracking order and I am so relieved I got my order in the end. It arrived between 2 to 3 weeks, so on the faster end of the approximate shipping speed. I'll definitely purchase from CDJapan in the future! I'm compiling a wish list as we speak.

Z-8 Cheek / Chikuhodo Z SeriesMakeup BrushGreat Multi-tasker
Beautiful Super soft brush! I debated on whether to get the Z4 or the Z8. I'm glad I went with the Z8 as it's a bit bigger and great for multitasking. I read Sonia G's blog and she said the Z8 is the best option for most multipurpose of the Z line. I wanted a brush that I could apply bronzer but also use it to place an airbrushed finishing powder. I believe this brush achieves it. The only thing is that I make sure to let my liquid/cream foundation dry a bit, I want the squirrel hair on my brush to last forever.
