Unboxing: GOT7 Moriagatteyo Goods

After weeks of quite a long wait since I was not able to join the meet up help, I finally receive the GOT7 goods bought from Donna (@defjbeat in Twitter) and am sorry excited since this is going to be my first set of goods aside from 2 albums bought plus Japanese released items are usually special then Korean released ones. This includes 2 trading cards, Mark keychain, Junior Uchiwa fan and the Moriagatteyo Regular edition album.

Once opened, the Junior Uchiwa fan is the first item I saw and so sad to see that the top part of it was bent; seems like the fan was tried to be folded. Feel really bad seeing the crease on the fan which is really obvious plus the material won’t get back on the same form even if I tried to put some bit heavy object to straighten it out.  

Though the fan design is really cute and it is surely large than most fan seen on the market (PS this is the first time I saw an unchiwa!).

 Next to be opened is the plastic bag which hold the remaining items. 

To my surprise, the trading card is really big which is almost the same size (or bigger) than a postcard. The back design of the cards is same as the fan – black background with Got7 name’s in bright colors. 

Back of Trading Card

The two card consist of a group and a Bambam card in kissing design which is cute though I wanted a Mark and a Junior card. Well, hope I can trade these with the other members. Got lucky that the cards were in good condition even only wrapped by the plastic bag.

Lastly is the album. It was opened to get the stub for the fan meet then was put back in the same plastic card. However there’s this noticeable crack at the back of the jewel case. 

The reason I bought the album is I really like the new songs Angel and Stay (listened to YouTube..hehe!). I even think twice buying even the normal version due to budget that time yet still end up with the album. Too bad, it include the Hi touch card and not the special version… sigh!

But really sad how the items as received – no bubble wrap to keep the items safe which I think is the reason for crack on album case and bent on the fan plus the keychain was not included (sobs). It’s understandable that the pre-order was a gesture for those who wanted the Japanese items since it is hard to get them plus to aide for the eligibility to enter the fan sign, to which I am thankful for, though still wishing everything’s in good condition.

**Note: I contacted Donna regarding the missing key chain. I was offered a replacement from the Flight Log concert in japan but sadly, I already ordered one so will be refunded for it. Too bad, the key chain is really cute.

Unboxing: VIXX Depend On Me Album

This so quick! I did pre-order the Depend On Me album from HMV and it was delivered to PH in just a couple of days! hough there’s a delay once it reached the local post as the post office was open only on Tuesdays and Thursday (*sigh*) yet still it took only a week – faster than my usual order which often took more than 2-3 weeks.

This is my 1^st time to order via HMV and I pretty much impressed how the good was packed and very detailed including a printed receipt from them (is this a standard process for orders from Japan?) plus quick delivery. Well, I won’t hesitate to order from them again.

I’m pretty excited to open the package to check who will be on the freebie card (hoping it will be Leo) which is randomly given amongst the 6 cards and this is the reason I chose HMV over CDJapan.

Hongbion Card HMV Freebie

And boom, I receive this nice Hongbin card (but I really want Leo) which looks like one of the photocard insert from the normal album version I think. I did choose version A because of Leo’s composition Shadow but I feel bad for not ordering also the version B.

CD Cover Design

Back to the album, it uses a dark theme which is different from the previous Japanese album Can’t Say but very much likely with their Korean releases. Also this one reminds of their Voodoo doll album for some reason – I guess because of the smoke effect used. Also the CD design is cool. But is there any standard that Japanses released album must be in jewel case only compared as compared to the Korean ones?

Top - CD, Bottom - DVD

The photos are cool though I am still wondering why or what those hand gestures in the close up pictures stand for.

It includes 11 tracks including some song from the Chained Up album plus the bonus track Shadow composed by Leo for version A (and With Me by Ravi for version B).

1. Depend on me
2. ECHO
3. Goodbye your love
4. Chained up -Japanese version
5. Error -Japanese version
6. Love Letter -Japanese version
7. Can't say
8. Spider (KOR)
9. Hot Enough (KOR)
10. Stop it girl (KOR)
11. Heaven (KOR) 

Tracklist

Plus I also got Hongbin’s photocard. Leo must have hated me for I never got him from opening VIXX albums..tsk!

Hongbin Ver A Card

My top picks is Goodbye Your Love and I’ll choose Echo over Depend On Me as it gives me a much better feel on it. Okay, Depend On Me have this strong, fast beat start with dramatic verse sang with in-between strong raps fill in and strong chorus lines – it’s something I’ll learn to like by keeping it on repeat play but not on first time listening. Though, I love how Hyuk got lots of lines on this one.
For the bonus song, Shadow is all about upbeat and fast tempo with a climactic slow bridge. This song reminds me a lot of Eternity and On and On due to similarly the continuous fast tempo. Plus this one is way different from the Leo’s other composition Words To Say.

Overall, the album is good with hints of fresh technique here and there. Though I still prefer previous album and will still be my fave after hearing the full album.
