Hi everyone,

It arrived today...it is actually a typical "Japan Idol Photobook" (measurements
7.5 inches x 10.5 inches) and the back inside back cover holds an insert tray
for the DVD. So for those of you who were worried that the "photos" would 
arrive in a little booklet, never fear. The same heavy, glossy paper stock used
in the best Idol Photobooks was used here. The book has 42 pages. The covers are
glossy and laminated. On the front is a side-view photo of Seiko's face, and it
is high-contrast (meaning you see her hair, eyes, and nose but you can't see
her mouth due to the bright lighting. The back cover is from the "lingere
sitting on the steps" photos in LE2 and it is a closeup of her foot.

All of the photos are previously unpublished, but they are also from the L&E
photoshoots. The majority come from L&E2 with a few from L&E1. So you will see
no new costumes or hairstyles or settings, just variations on the photos you
have already seen in both volumes of L&E. Some have the "intentionally out of
focus" style that was in the previous photos, especially in the facial closeups.
There are a few "eye contact" photos (for the "Seiko Eye Contact Fans" out 
there) that will probably drive you nuts...:-) Yes indeed, she may very well be
the world's most beautiful 40 year old woman.

Since I don't have a Japan-encoded DVD player, all I can tell you about the
actual DVD is that it is round, pink on the front, silver on the back, with
a hole in the middle...:-)

It's limited edition, as you know, so I urge those of you who want it to either
call your local store or go online to the store of your preference (CDJapan,
YesAsia, whatever) before it's gone.

And yes, you KNOW these photos are going to show up on SMF: The Remix and
SMF: Phase III...:-) Soon, I promise.

Best regards,

Mike
