I don't always post my An conquests in LiveJournal. Well, I did just post those pictures of Oscar!Wao. But a lot of times my book list gets updated without public fanfare.

What I found yesterday, though, may top even the Wao photos.

I found.

THE TAKARAZUKA II: SORAGUMI.

To appreciate the significance of this acquisition, please be aware. This kumibon has been sold out for as long as I have known of its existence. I ALWAYS check An's kumibon section and there are ALWAYS half a dozen other-troupe mooks and NEVER the Soragumi ones. Ever.

UNTIL YESTERDAY, WHEN THE MAGICAL POWER OF SHONICHI BROUGHT IT TO MY HANDS. :D :D :D Even my club staff (and Mii-chan's staff XD) were impressed that I had obtained it.

I would squee longer, and with many many scans, if I had the power. :(

Wait, no frowny faces!! SQUEEEEE~!!! <333333

Also acquired:

Shizuki Asato Sayonara Scrapbook "Collage". FROM THE FREE BOX. (Free if you purchase over 3000 yen worth of merchandise, that is... Kumibon + Young Star Guide 2004 + 2 Waos + 1 Hana stage photo... ah hah... hah ^^;;) Who cares if it has a bent corner!! It's 200 pages of ZUNKO and Early Soragumi GOODNESS!!!

Also from the free box:

"Age of Innocence" program. God, it's so thin! And small! The size of a shinko program! (ETA: Oh! Now that I think about it, I'll bet this is one of those tricky ones that they made in two sizes. Damn, now I need BOTH.) But also filled with rising-babies-in-2002-Soragumi-love. :D

And from Sakae-ya:

94th bunkasai program!! (They torture me by still having the 89th but not the 88th.) What's sad is how much I appreciate Kari-chan in it, and how little I've looked at everyone else except to glance longingly at Layla and wish more cute 94ths had made it into my troupe.

...Second viewing of ParaPuri tomorrow, THIS TIME WITH MANDAS!! And indoctrination / corruption / enabling of fledgling fans!!

...And my angel's working hard, rehearsing late for shinko and I'm sitting here gloating when I should be writing a long, long letter!! *scoots off*
