LOL you shouldn't feel stupid. there are lots of people who don't really care about the obi and discard them. you're buying music for yourself anyway, not to turn around and sell one day.

I used to throw away all my OBI's with regards to JPop albums but after I came on here & realise it has some value even though it's just a piece of paper , I started to retain them & keep in a folder

ANYWAY ...

I watched the Kingdom tour dvd earlier on ,great stuff as always

Damn that foreign guy in the Interlude movies is SO cute

[Kingdom]

a lot of people consider the obi to be part of the single itself, and many people won't buy used singles if they don't include the obi.

Products that feature an obi strip have become desirable among collectors from around the world. Because many Japanese consumers discarded the obi once purchased and of course some took great care in preventing damage to the obi. An old record or CD with the obi still attached can fetch premium prices on the second hand/collectors market. As a rule of thumb, a record or CD with the obi strip intact is always worth more than one without one. Whenever a Japanese pressing of a CD by a Western artist is exported to other countries for sale in retail outlets (or offered for sale via online retail outlets) becomes available, the obi can dictate the value of that CD. If it's new/sealed it should have an obi, providing it came with one (some Japanese releases feature an information sticker instead of an obi). A used/second hand CD with the obi still with the CD is usually worth more than any other countries standard domestic pressing.

May I ask emiko to write something like "B-DAY PROJECT BOOK p. 12" in the title of this thread please ?

That's so cool I really love the idea.
Is it also okay to write a short message, then take a picture of it (so not scanning) and then send it to you?

Omg. That's so cool. I love the position and the facial expression. But the bangs is still a for me although its better arranged than the previous one which I believe is caused by the tilted head.

GOSH! WHY DO I SOUND SO FORMAL LOL.
