Popcorn DVD cover revealed!

Yes, I'm probably late again. I didn't even notice anyone talking about the covers on twitter or anything. But when I was at Johnny's Net looking for the price for the 8EST dvd, I came across this. I love the covers! The stage of the concert was made to look like a popcorn factory, so the cover suits the feel of the concert :D

As for the contents - the regular edition will include a poster, while the limited has special packaging and a 60-page booklet. Which is nice and all, but - I guess I'm used to buying limited editions from my other favourite groups now, and Arashi always falls short when it comes to the extras. Oh well. I'm still looking forward to this the most!

Day 4: Sapporo

Honestly, a lot of things happened on the second day that I wanted to write about (when it was happening), but by the time we got back to the dorm we were staying at I was just too tired. And by now, a week later, the memory of the two days have kind of blurred together ^^;

Second day, our view.

Day 3 - Sapporo!

 

Sapporo Dome!

 

The first day of Sapporo Dome! Kelly and I arrived in Sapporo at around 9:30 in the morning, and by the time we reached our hostel we were ready to just crash into our beds and sleep til noon. Instead, we went back out and slogged through the snow to get to Sapporo Dome, to buy goods! Luckily, there wasn't really a queue for goods today. One of the girls at our hostel told us that the earphone jacks (which are red for Sapporo, by the way. Yay!) sold out the day before. Thanks to the lack of queue, we got all our goods pretty quickly. This also meant that we had extra hours to kill, and all the nearby restaurants and cafes were completely full (with Arashi fans, of course). There was a display of Nino's Pocky ads at a supermarket we passed. The entire area was crowded with fans buying Pocky, because they had a special where if you bought two boxes, you get a devil horns headband. I bought a couple, to give to my sister, who's a Nino fan.
