^For whatever reason, I only have the CD+DVD version, and I love the CD only cover, so I might as well get it now. LOL since I just also got the original poker face, YOU, Trust, For my dear..., Depend on you, WHATEVER, LOVE ~destiny~, and TO BE.

I'm awesome. haha

^ AW! were did you get those!

Also, I didnt even think about getting both covers... I might do that one day... you know... when that stupid money tree finally takes root.

few pixels bigger cover

^For some reason I think her head looks kinda big (comparing to the tiny body)???

It's the 3/4 angle, I guess? Plus the big hair.

@ayuuk
I bought one of the phonestraps and the Mirror along with my Heart Nail Book^^

I love how her nails says love ^.^

So gorgeous :heart. I don't mind the fish lips neither lol.

Is it out of stock already?!

it's out of print at amazon too

ewww come on second pressing!

Thx for posting bigger pic, love the nails! Can't wait to copy them all~~ (^^)v
YA has charged me already too, hope they won't cancel order. Checking e-ve-ry-day

i don't know if their online service is good or not, but kinokuniya still has Ayu heart nail book

Mayayu thanks for posting the link, I found bigger cover there xD

I love photo with dog!

The black & white ones and the pics with her dogs looks so pretty *.*

from all the pictures shared it does really looks like shes only featuring her hear shape nails T.T!!

cant wait to see the book... wonder if singapore's kinokuniya will bring in this mag

lol weird how some of those pics have the pouting but it looks totally ok, like it fits the cute/naughty theme in them xD strange, leslie finally got it right again xD the angles and photoshopping seems to be good, tho should wait for someone to scan the pages.

I don't always mind the fish lips. And I'm loving those pics!

decided to order from HMV, they already have it in stock so I guess I should be able to get it quickly :) Looks nice so far :D

I want to see the one with the microphone!

Even though it says the release date in the thread title...I'm still REALLY surprised to see the book is out already XD. Guess I just thought it'd never come out haha

It seems to be available for ordering again on CDJ, so I'd suggest anyone who missed out before gets their order in quick! :)

Do you know why is it called HEART NAIL BOOK?

Kya~~~ Thanks for sharing previews! can't wait :thud

Thanks for letting people know that it's avaiilable again. I was just about to post the same thing as I decided to check their site not too long ago and saw that it is available for purchase and will ship in approximately 1 - 3 weeks according to their site (I don't mind the wait time and it could possibly ship sooner depending on when they get them in). I decided that I wanted to purchase it yesterday but unfortunately CDJapan didn't have it in stock and I wanted to buy it from them as I had enough points to pay for the whole purchase and not pay anything out of pocket (which I was able to do today thankfully). So I'm really glad that it came back in stock because I was in panic mode yesterday when I saw so many sites no longer had it available and my only choices were to use either a middle man service for mu-mo or pay EMS shipping at HMV (I'm quite cheap when it comes to shipping so I only purchase from them when the overall total is the cheaper than the other sites I purchase from).

found on tumblr, credit link on pics~

I love the pic with Star-nails <3

^WOW! Those pics are freakin amazing!

^^ woha! i love them except that phone one lol

I'm so glad I ordered this book :D

^ME too! Just anxiously waiting for YA to ship it out! lol

sooo amazing *o*

Great pics! Look forward to receiving mine. :)

Btw, anyone ordering from HMV? Which date do you guys get for estimate shipping date?

^YA here, still says waiting for stock. smh. I'm too impatient for this! haha

hmv : usually instock within 2-10 days
yesasia : temporarily out of stock
cdjapan : Out of Print
amazon : only from resellers with price up to ￥ 2,280

lol i won't get my mu-mo order until 9/14.

Don't know why mu-mo of all places, even though I preordered it, won't be shipped until 9/14, haha.

Yay, CDJ is in shipping process. :luv2

I still don't get why %)
I made order in first day

Thanks for posting more pics!!! soooo making copies of the nails in the pic with Cocoa ♥


Too bad some pics look a tad overexposed though. but i'm not complaining. nope.

I wanted to buy it since august 31,but my mum can't find my damn credit card D:
This is so frustrating u.u

Lucky you! YA still says Waiting for stock.
Although I guess it's a holiday today in the US. Sigh

Some of Ayu's best pictures and some are definitely going to become my favourites. I'd love more album/single covers like this- more expressions and she really looks like she is having fun

omg!!!! the one with the microphone is perfect

I think the only one I DON'T really care for is the one where she's wearing the handkerchief lol

thanks to beautiful Ирчиэль!

Omgggg look at those pics.

At first I thought this would be a collection of pics of all the nails that she has worn over her career...LOL that would be SOOOOO many.

omg!!!!!!!!!!!! it has a tutorial too!!!!
THIS BOOK IS AMAZING

lol i was pretty much sure there will be at least short tutorials on how-to xD not that they'd help if u don't ave practical skills tho xD but i do want it...too bad no money, and probably when i will have it's gonna be gone.

Amazing book, and that for such a loe price^^
Can´t wait for the other Lifestyle books *_*

Can't wait for other lifestyle books!!! :D

Not that I would need the tutorials LOL
Also can't wait for the other books...they promised us pics of ayu inside her home!!

oh my god!!! this book is awesome :luv2

so happy I've preordered it :yes

^Where did you order from? Has it shipped yet? Has anyone's who ordered from YA shipped yet?

I want more pics moreee *___* someone scan the whole book ;_;;"

^Why don't you purchase it? It will feel so much better to own it. :)

Going to buy it, probably from an auction.
It's easier than caring about if it's available. :)

^Might also be more expensive that way? I still can't believe it's only priced at 1000 yen.

Depends on the auction price.
I won't pay more than 1,000 Yen, it's original price.
And my middleman fees aren't that high as well as shipping for such a small book.
Should be alright. :)

^Which middleman service do you use?

INCREDIBLE book.

So excited!!! Just ordered mine at HMV. SQUEEEEEEE~~

I Just did a special order at my local Kinokuniya book store. They told me that none of their US stores carry it, but they can special order it.

I heard that they wanted 23 dollars or so? That sounds about right considering shipping/exchange rate.

SO GOOD!!! I wrote in to Kinokuniya Singapore hoping that they would bring some in, but unfriendly them =( haven't reply me after 3 long days of wait T.T

I saw that they had the price of sgd$25 on their website. but status is out of stock.

whoot, thx kinix! I just manage to speak to the staff. Its $25.20. The books will be arriving in 2 weeks time. Chopped a copy! ^^~ cant wait.........

I called them to make a special order. They told me it would come out to $18 and sum cents in USD. I can't wait to pick my copy up when it comes in the store. I never really shop at Kinokuniya (I shop at BOOKOFF), because it's so pricey, but this book is so cheap! :)

I called up the Kinokuniya in NYC to order the book and they said it would cost $35 ): Does anyone suggest any other options?

Try to get the book via HMV? However, shipping costs may make it so that you end up paying around 35~ anyway.

I guess you COULD ask someone on the west coast to buy a few copies and ship? I'd be willing to ship out some copies if anyone was interested in buying the book as well but I would have to charge a bit for shipping and transporting the goods back and forth. (hopefully I won't have to charge like 35 but we'll see!)

I should be able to get a Kinokuniya membership card that will allow for discounts and stuff... will keep you posted!

Message me if you're interested in this~ I don't think I'd be able to help international members unless they were okay with also paying extra for shipping.

^Oh nooo, I hope HMV won't end up that expensive!!

Does anyone have an idea how heavy this book is? Like 300g?

I received an email from CDJapan regarding the availability of the book. They said that the publisher estimated that it would take them approximately 5 - 10 days to fulfill my order. While I'm unsure if this email is just referring to fulfilling existing orders or if they'll get more in stock for others to order, those of you who haven't ordered yet and want to wait for CDJapan to get them back in stock can see if they become available again within that timeframe. They said they'll email me again if they receive further updates. However with availability of this book being quite limited in numbers at this time, I would suggest ordering it from anywhere that can get it for you or show them available to order now.

Even people who ordered (early) from mu-mo won't be getting theirs shipped until mid-September, so there are indeed some delays in filling orders.

^Yeah, it seems some people complain about it at mu-mo. It tends to be several weeks late.

2152 Japanese yen = 27.4455 US dollars

I just simulated an order at HMV and it came out to under 30 USD! However, I think I can get it for a better price at Kinokuniya unless they say there's some kind of additional charge.

Was that for them to ship it to you? Because I am having it ship to their store, and they told me it wasn't that much...

I don't believe Kino does shipping services to people's residences, just to stores. They should not have additional charges. However, they may have quite a bit of markup. Maybe it's more expensive for them to send it to NY so the markup is higher?

my friend said that there is only hands on other pages

Should I buy that book? *O*

purple self nails are adorable.
Why can't they leave her hands un touched!

I bought my copy today!!!YAY!!!!!!Can't wait...I hope HMV doesn't change the shipping charge >_<

@truehappiness: Thank you so much, that's really nice of you :3 I'm going to think about it a little bit~ Although I guess if you find out whoever has the best deal, you should let us all know :P

Yeah, it was for having it shipped to my house. They said it would be $35 plus shipping -___- I live outside of the city so I don't think I'd be able to get to the physical store to pick it up :c

CDJ shipped mine out yesterday, just gotta play the waiting game now. Thankfully I have my Big Bang Alive 2012 Collection to occupy me until then... :lech

Those hands are an impostor, we all know Ayu's fingers are at least 3 inches longer

the amount of photoshop used on her hands :tired

and tose are deffinitelly Ayu's hands, u can see pics of her hand posing in the ViVi diary photos.

Ah, for things like that you should try to avoid having a middleman if at all possible. It tends to make things cost a bit more.

Wow, her best photos in years I tell you. Was not expecting this. Amazing!!

LOL Busy busy!

Wow it must be at least $20 dollars for shipping then? I actually have to travel at least an hour drive to my Kinokuniya, so I don't go there all the time, bu like twice a month?

The lady told me that I would get a confirmation saying I ordered it, but I haven't got one. Do you think I should contact them to ask? I want to make sure that they will get it, because I really want this book! >.<

I love the patterns on her nails. I'm just confused why some of them are so pointy. (I guess it's the style but still...) XP Wouldn't that be bothersome?

^
I glue, file and paint my own fake nails, and have recently been filing them to the pointy shape and it isn't bothersome at all. The "claw" nail is actually fairly big right now on fashion runways :)

How do you take it off... Is the glue sticky or harmful to the nails?

Usually wear and tear the nails will just pop off. The glue usually comes off with salon quality nail polish remover. Never rip the off or try to remove them without glue. That will definitely damage your nails!

I would love to do those pointy nails on my own nails

the book is super cute and she looks fabulous, young and lovely. a music comeback is the only thing missing here :)

I just got word that the Costa Mesa Kinokuniya in Southern California will indeed be getting the book in stock and will not necessarily need to have special orders made for it.

They are accepting preorders for when it DOES arrive however.

^
What? That's the one that I called, and they told me I had to special order it, and that's the one I made a special order to. Weird that they didn't tell me when I called.

Edit: Oh so that means I pre ordered it? I wonder when they will get it?
