srsly. I do keep mine, though, but I stick them in the CD case and don't ever bother with them any more.

^That's what I do too. But I only do it because I might want to sell them one day.
But what's up the OBI Love? O.O;

[cttncandy]

I am a total OBI strip snob... and I am not proud.

I cannot possibly have a CD without one because I honestly feel like the CD is not complete and I always end up re-buying it. It just feels so incomplete! I am not trying to offend anybody it's just the way I feel about them.

My favorite OBI strip is Ayu's INSPIRE OBI Strip I love the deep shade of red fading into black. My second favorite would probably have to be Kuu's 12-singles OBIs, I mean the fact that they put together a picture of her is super creative in my opinion. Plus I love how they are all different colors!

I hate my crap OS 12 single collection. It has those F-U-G SM stickers on the front, and... some of the OBIs are mis-printed. Like, not printed straight. So it looks weird.

I MUST buy those Japan singles when I find them.

Me too! Let's weep together.

[~juJu~]

I love OBIs~
My dog bent my Kingdom obi slightly. GRR. and how annoying is BEST ~BOUNCE + LOVERS~ because it's on the right -_-

Anyway i really like first press Yume no Uta / Futari de... Obi. (it's clear plastic in pink ad blue). i also love OBI on my kuu 12 singles yeahhh.

I always keep my OBIs on the spine because all m JPop CDs are in removable slipcases. ^^

I love my obi's sososososososososo much, you would not believe, but when I see them I put them behind the cd itself, where you take of the plastic that the cd goes on and put the obi behind it.

[ayumisrael]

Yeah Kingdom had an obi!

I love obis, they are really special and I take good care of them I put them between those teeths that hold that booklets!
I lost just a few obis from my first collected CDs since I didn't mind obis at first but now I keep them with every CD I get.

[AyuHamasaki01]

I have 2 CDs but I threw those OBI's away *shame on me* but from now on I'll keep them! I promise

As needed. They are really special and we are all obsessed with them.

[AyuHamasaki01]

I'm sorry. Are you still mad?
I promise that I won't throw my next OBI's away... And I hope my mom doesn't throw them away either. Because to her it'll look like "more trash, more dust" (but I love my mom)

EDIT: Does anyone have a picture of the Mirrorcle World OBI?

Does all Japanese CDs come with OBI strips?

a bit off-topic
I got ayu's stamps in the frame from my japanese best friend but I will be able to take pics only next week since my parents went to a trip and took the cam >_>.
It's really cool actually it's inside a file that has pics of all of ayu's release to date including the latest! and 2 postcards with MW's CD+DVD covers!!
And the file is well glittery, and of course the awesome stamps.
I think that I'm the only one in this forum who got it (wonders...)..

-WHAT?!? Mine has no OBI wtf?
-Um, no. The OBI for B&L is held on by a small circular sticker on the right of the album, as opposed to the regular left.
-DAMN. I got the regular Japan version. Ugh, oh well~
-LOL. XD

Seriously? X_X
Kingdom did come with an OBI, I will take pics of it next week with my ayu stamps and file unless if someone else can take a pic of it until then and upload...

I got the HK version, and I swear it has no OBI, just a slipcase. And the bonus booklet

OH so that might be the case, maybe they were too lazy to release an OBI with the HK version as well =P
The obi looks regular though, smaller and BC's and FT's but it's still wide

[polka-dot-jewel]

I love obi's!! =D I think they're really cool...out of all the CD's I've bought myself, with the exception of (miss)understood and Memorial Address, I've kept the obi's. I think they're really cool accessories for the CDs. =3 Idk what happened to the (m)u and MA ones...I probably threw them away. :-/ Now that I'm looking at my collection, I think one of my HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR obi's is in my locker at school, and my Nami Tamaki "Make Progress" one has been thrown away... =(

lol I got around 24 CDs from my friend in Japan this past weekend, and 21 of them didn't come with obi's. ='( They were all used (probably, they look really good, though), so that's probably why they didn't come with them...
