February 18, 2009 It's okay really...
For just under $37, this photo book was a tad more pricey than its worth. The reviewer below me got it right~ The quality of the prints are semi-pixelly and some are really bad angle shots. Pictures are cut off at the bind of the book. But for what its worth, it's a nifty book in weight and entirely filled with pictures of our Arashi boys. Extra points for the CD that comes with it? :)

DAIGO Photo Album -DAIGO ROCK (Normal Edition)
(1)Our Price: US$31.49Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:February 18, 2009 Can't get enough of this!I must have looked over this photo book a dozen times since I bought it. The quality of the prints as well as the actual pictures are superb!! DAIGO looks great so credits go out to both the photographer and himself!
This photo book was literally filled with tons of pictures...and I love the surprise that came with it! Pictures of HYDE and Anna Tsuchiya! I'm a fan of all three of them so seeing everyone in the photo book came as a nice shock. Really great photos and that's all I can really say! You won't be disappointed!
I bough the Normal/Regular Edition so I don't know how the limited edition differs :)

February 18, 2009 disappointed...This is terrible...I hate writing poor reviews on my favorite group...but since this isn't an official Kanjani8 collectible, well...........
For just $20, I really wasn't expecting much...but as an Eighter, I just had to add this to my collection. However, compared to the $35 "Eh Honma Bikkuri Tour 2007" photo book, "Nanatsu no Otoko Michi" was a major disappointment. What a world of difference with just a $15 difference. I mean, are we ever going to find something of the Bikkuri Tour 2007 photo book caliber at that price ever again? Probably not and that's a shame. The price was insane in the very best way...no wonder they sold out within weeks.
"Nanatsu no Otoko Michi" had a few pictures...of below average quality prints and the photo album was mostly filled with text that I can't decipher because I can not read Japanese. The photo album read more like a regular book with a few snap shots here and there. I should have just paid a little more for Kanjani8's "Photo & Episode" photo book instead...even though the quality of the prints is just as bad but at least I'll be getting what I paid for.

ROOKIES PERFECT BOOK
February 18, 2009 Intrigued~!With an initial glance, some people may pass on buying this photo book, but once you get over the fact that many of these pretty boys don't look so....well...pretty in the pictures, I'm sure you won't regret purchasing it! I can so see the close bonds of all the boys in the ROOKIES photo book (think of the drama and how close they were!). It really does bring back fond memories of the drama here and it has individual pages focusing on each of the players as well as group shots.
Fans of the ROOKIES drama, you won't be disappointed! I mean, c'mon, this is the drama that won 5 categories in the 58th Television Drama Academy Awards including "Best Drama" and "Best Actor"! So for a little over $21, having this as a momento is well worth it. :)

February 18, 2009 Great Photo Book!The photographer did an incredible job with the pictures! (and of course Hiro's incredible himself for being so photogenic and pretty).
A nice touch was the the variety filled themes here. We get to see personal pictures as well as a lot of professional ones where Hiro shows us his stylish side.
Also included inside the photobook is what appears to be interviews and comments from fellow costars and friends as well as a DVD! :)
A Perfect 10 for this photo book. Could be a little less expensive but hey...YesAsia also needs to make money, right? XD

October 11, 2008 loves them~YesAsia's double deals really tempted me so I ended up ordering both "It's Stylish" & "Camping". Received the photobooks today and I am so glad I ordered both. "Camping" at first glance seems to pale in comparison to "It's Stylish" because of the obvious size difference but the nifty book holder/cover somewhat makes up for it.
The good thing about "Camping's" small size is that if I ever go crazy and decide to use those photos as postcards or mini-gifts to friends/fellow fans, I can give a page or two to each person. But I doubt I'll ever be able to tear apart the book...
Now, "It's Stylish" is a must have! Absolutely stunning scenery and our boys' poses make them seem at one with nature, it gives the book a more adult look. I appreciate the photographer(s) creativity for some of the poses used.
But, even with both photobooks on-hand, I feel that they just can't compare to their "Bonjour Paris" predecessor because it lacked the easy-going happy personalities of TVXQ. And I guess I'll always regret not buying it when I had the chance.

(152)Our Price: US$15.99List: US$21.99Save: US$6.00 (27%)Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysRelated promotions:October 4, 2008 They're gorgeous!the CDs/DVD/Photobook or the boys? All of the above! :) I pre-ordered both the CD + Photobook & the CD + DVD versions because I couldn't choose between the two, plus there was a special deal at the time for ordering both. Well, the package finally arrived in the mail this morning (after a rerouting because USPS missent my order to my old zip code)...and lo and behold - LOVELY packaging (though a teensy cheap looking with the plastic)! The mini-photobook is really drool-worthy. Our boys look INCREDIBLE! I kept fawning over Jae's nipple! XD Of course this doesn't compare to the major DBSK photobooks out there, but for a mini-one, this was a great deal.
As for the DVD interviews, without subtitles, I'm unable to understand most of what was being said. But umm...they look great! ;)
and yes, I waited until AFTER I receive the CDs before reviewing...it's only fair to give truthful reviews based on the product and not because I'm a biased fangirl.
