What do you do with the obi on Japanese CDs?

[HanabiChick]

The ones I have left are in and around my computer desk - some I kept, and some were thrown out. They're cute, but don't interest me as much as the CD. I'm cleaning out my room now, and most of the ones I have left will end up in the bin.

I do the exact same thing ...

[ayu DIOR]

I put them on top of my CD player. I used to keep them in the box until I lost the box and now some of my OBI's are missing

[extepan]

i put them between the jewel box and the cd tray

We call that a drawer xD!

I keep mine on the side, and sometimes put them inside

xDDDD thanks for the correction

I keep them inside the CD case or manual. Though, my Inspire/GAME single is an ex-rental CD, and the Obi is taped to the side of the CD (where it normally fits), so I don't know if that's what you're supposed to do with them - as if the Obi's are like library labels which aren't attached.

I've always wondered this, since many of my Ayu singles (mostly the older ones, such as M, etc) don't have inner labels on the side of the CD, so they look like blank cases if they're stood up next to each other.

They stay wrapped around the spines of my CDs on my shelf. I like the uniformity they make. =)

[Barbarellacult]

^ Aye, the only thing that is odd with that for me is I have Korean and Japanese cd's so they don't look very uniform.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. =)

[alt.total-loser]

I have them stacked in little piles in front of a row of books on my bookshelf. Heh. My CDs are in a box, so I'd rather not keep the OBIs near them.

[Raleigh]

I keep mine with the CDs usually.

[Nihonjin_Berryz]

I open out the cd case up, and tape it with clear tape to the outside like a book cover.

Odd. I have CDs from all three major Asian countries and they're all uniformed for me. ^^; Unless you meant Korean artists as opposed to just KR versions of CDs.

[Vinylfantasy]

I throw them away since I have no use for them. I'm not much of a collector.

[[ Melinda ]]

I usually put them on my desk locker I don't really care about them actually because they're useless, but I don't want to throw them away either. x)

[ak.malfoy]

I keep everything when I buy CD's... even the shrink wrap. That's where the OBI and the actual CD jewel case gets back after use. I also keep the sticker (the reason why I keep the shrink wraps). OBIs look cool because they often have extra information left out from the materials inside the product.

[fanmail]

why do people keep the shrinkwrap o_O? If the Japanese saw you collecting it, they'd laugh so hard!

[minna]

I put them in the CD booklet now
Did that recently...because I lost my black cherry OBI ^^''
so now I'm putting them there

[JWBBPHOENIX]

I sometimes keep the shrinkwrap unless it's ripped too easily. If there are stickers I take them off and stick them to the front of the album anyway

I used to throw away both the obi strip and the shrinkwrap, but I now keep both every time I buy a J-Pop CD. I don't care what people think about my keeping both; like truehappiness said earlier, I bought the CDs for $10-40, so I might as well keep it.
