IU for REAL Reveal!

Third Reveal of the day! Cause I'm officially on break now. Handed in my last paper!
BAM! So I thought I'll carry out my promise and make some stuff 
And this blog is the result.!

So up next is we got IU! and her REAL album
which is her 3rd mini album.
I got her limited edition album for like 20-25$ 
normal version is currently selling for like 13$ 
My ver. is out of print so woot woot for myself.
The special album comes with 


  • 40-page Photobook (14.5cm x 21cm)


  • 12-page 2011 Calendar (14.5cm x 21cm)


  • SURPRISE!



  • So just a short intro on how i found out about IU
    her covers ! of like various artists were awesome
    and actually it wasn't until this album that i found her original songs actually good.
    Her previous albums aesthetically was fine as she was cute and bubbly but her musc not so much in comprison to her covers.

    Here's one of her covers of SNSD/SJ/BB

    Alright, enough! Reveal begins NOW!


    Cover: pretty plain and i'm fine with this as it is comparatively a lot more calmer than  her other album covers.

    Back: again simple white

    Side: only one side has the album name


    it PULLS! to open which was awesome as it meets its name of LIMITED EDITION

    I dig the ribbon, just the ribbon itself should cost at least 20$ IMO haha 

    What do you get?
    Cd
    Calendar
    Photobook
    and?
    Surprise!

    Back off Cd case

    7 tracks with 1 instrumental so really just 6 tracks
    so music wise for 25$ this would've been pretty pricey but the limited edition saves it

    Open it up and you got the name of the album and artist's name
    Simple and Serene especially the clear sky and fields 

    To get to the disc you have to open three flaps and they somewhat cheated with the flaps as some of them are like doubles of the unopen flap covers

    Disc has IU on it 

    Behind the disc = art
    but they cheated as it's just the same as the flap


    LOVE these disc holders but one concern for me is whether or not these things will last after constant pull and push of the disc going back in and out

    First page of the lyric booklet
    Dislike = its attached to disc jacket





    i like how the colours are so vivid and just the green of the nature just mesh well with the simple cover of the box

    transition to the red is calm and still acceptable
    it was not explosive red so that was nice
    still got the nature aspect






    Still keeping up with the nature but her clothes are not the same colours as the backgrounds
    but its plain enough that it doesn't contrast too greatly




    now yellow, all these colours are of nature so its pretty nice composition 

    Last page of thanks
    now it just freedom and calmness

    Next up we have the calendar 






    two pictures accompany each month
    it's a wall hung calendar

    Now on to the photobook


    I'm confused as to why it says 2011 winter when t his came out in 2010 winter

    Ice falls into the secret time

    Remember the time you listened my melody

    I wish korena companies could take it seriously when it comes to english grammar and spelling (not an issue here but with others)

    Clock = time
    Smart






    Follow me my dear. i will show you my world.


    Pure hearted


    To you 





    I am an artist eighteen years old
    ice.

    Wonder what is ice?

    the thing that stays constant is her hairstyle as her wardrobe changes

    Contemporary



    Classic 



    Playful


    Curious about everything

    Dreamy



    Irish girl

    i dont get this at all
    everything up to here made sense
    this seemed out of place



    Dollish

    Dreaming a lovely moment with you
    --
    And that is it for the photobook. It was simple as the words guides you to what sort of theme the pictures were going for. 

    SURPRISE!

    It's a Special Present!
    Post it? What does that mean!?
