Quick!
I have to leave for work but before I go: Arashi has a new album slated for release in July--CDJapan sent me the email this morning. No LE as far as I can tell.
And! Finally have a picture of my cookies from Flange!
Yes, I just have the one. So far. I am absolute pants at picture taking.
Yay, my cookies! They are so wonderful! The Ohno in the large box is the one broken at the waist--up close you can tell there's something different about his middle. (Jun has always been missing his coat details. Ed and I pretend that he never wants to come out of his sparkly, sparkly trench coat and has sewn it shut.) Replacement Ohno came with his head off. We glued him together and sprayed him and we're still trying to decide who looks better in the box. (Pictures of him later!)
Replacement Nino was eaten by Ed despite the fact that he was intact.
Me: *spraying new cookies happily* Eh? But--? Nino?
Ed: Is delicious.
Me: !!! But Nino!
Ed: *crams more Nino in mouth* I let you have Sho even though his leg was off.
Me: His frosting was cracked! *hunches over cookies protectively* You can't eat them!
Ed: ...they're covered in spray enamel. *more cookie!Nino-based carnage*
Me: Oh. Right. Headless-Ohno, look away. *turns cookie*
You can't really see it in the picture but the background paper in the Dome-set is textured with raised dots that are a shade lighter than the paper. DoubleParka!Sho and Aiba both have glitter on their background paper. The long box and Sho's are both very deep-set while Kenta and Aiba are not very deep at all. Not pictured is my Arashi washcloth which is in a frame to match Kenta and Aiba--only larger and with no background because that's a pretty good sized washcloth.
As you CAN see the spray on enamel that we use (Krylon Crystal Clear spray enamel, which runs about four bucks at Walmart) doesn't change the look of the cookies even the tiniest bit--and we put several coats on each cookie. We haven't tested it's fixative properties because...well, why would we? If I ever get the urge to do so, however, I will surely say something about it.
And yes, the long box is 'AMNOS' on background that is sorted by the Dream Alive caterpillar colors.
I will get Ed to take better pictures when I can!
Seriously, I love my cookies to an insane degree. The kids are already fighting about who gets them when I die. :D :D :D They make me so very happy. My glittering, shiny, cookie!Arashi.
