Yay new thread!!
Me likes the title :D |
I'm not surprised that Lisa used Circus in the new thread title as it's 1 of my fave songs in Boku no Miteiru Fukei
anyway I took these photos with my phone earlier on when I went out with my family 8D while I had Thai food earlier on for lunch http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/1475/dsc01613jl.jpg http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/6828/dsc01614b.jpg http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/8901/dsc01615.jpg (◕ܫ◕) <3 & also there was 1 time I saw MatsuJun's Fasio ad being plastered right across a public double decker bus & he was right in front of me literally I screamed like a schoolgirl when I saw it lmao 8D xD |
Well, to be honest, after having heared the huge amount of praise Boku no Mitteiru Fuukei got, I was expecting something amazing. But I was pretty disappointed, actually >.<. It's so ... disjointed ... there's a super auto-tuned track one minute, than some weird circus-themed song next, then some sweet pop song, then something completely different again. I don't mind experimentation but I like to see an album as a cohesive whole, not just as a collection of different songs, even if they are good in their own right.
Maybe I need to get used to it, but I don't think I'm going to buy it now >.> |
I already said before that the 1 thing I don't like in line with Boku no Miteiru Fukei is that I wish they put the solos in 1 separate disc & putting the group ones in another which they did for Time & Dream"A"live
other than that , I gladly take Boku no Mitteiru Fuukei anytime over Dream"A"live you listen to Dream"A"live & then you tell me which one you prefer still at the end of the day xD & the solos were X_X & the only ones I like from there are Aiba's Hello Goodbye & Ohno's Take me faraway The album tracks on there , some if not most are a :no to me I guess Boku no Miteiru Fukei might have been more enjoyable if they were to do what they did like in Time & Dream"A"live , it would have make things easier for me , in due time when I review/talk about the album in my blog |
I'm not comparing to Dream "A"live at all. Haven't listened to that one yet. So to me, it doesn't really matter whether or not I prefer that one or their most recent one, I just don't really love Boku no Mitteiru Fuukei.
Maybe I'll just stick to their singles from now on~ |
I listened from their 4th album Iza , Now onwards so I know what works & what doesn't for them
One is their 1st album onwards to include solos since you don't like Boku no Miteiru Fukei , well there's nothing more I can say in changing your mind that it's so much more better than Dream"A"live as this statement applies to me & also to my younger sister Also , I don't find anything wrong if you want to continue to listen to ARASHI just for their singles only . I did that for KinKi Kids after getting bore like snoozefest with regards to their J album & I don't plan to listen to their 1st 10 albums before J album anyway The song that I wanted them to include in Boku no Miteiru Fukei but which sadly it didn't was Green . I rather Green replaced Sora Takaku which's still the most boring song I ever heard in their discography but other than that , top notch stuff I feel Then again the album was only leaked out yesterday so I still need some time for the songs to sink in xD , I already had for movin' on , Refrain & Summer Splash ! xD |
I am about to listen to Boku.............................................. .. I hope I Lφve L♥ve it!
|
Scans of the whole Boku no Miteiru Fukei album which my younger sister gave the link to me via Twitter xD
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3SQXB00P I guess you will be using those scans in the 1st post , Lisa 8D |
i really wanted to wait until i get the CD to see the scans, but....I NEED SCANS :weep so i'll gladly take the scans your sister provided! thanks karen! :D
haha, i used Circus in the title because i love that song as well! but i'm gonna fix the title a bit because i felt like i rushed it last night, so i hope that's okay? |
I like the scans for Boku no Miteru Fukei so much more than Dream"A"live :yes
I suspect those black sunglasses inspired pics are the 1st press pages in question as there're a total of 65 pages/scans shots so yeah you only get 34 pages & not 60 pages if you order the 2nd pressing for the album I was staring hard at MatsuJun's & Sakurai's T-T xD Quote:
|
I listened to the new album yesterday (the whole day) and today, but I can't get myself to like it.
The solos are so bad...bad! The only solo, which is really beautiful is Riida's (I can't stop listening to it!). Nino's is so-so, but the others are terrible. I can't listen to them at all. I love all the "old songs" on "Boku no Miteiru Fukei", but there are only three new songs that I really love ("kagero", "Gift" and "Mukae ni iku yo"). I sometimes like bits and pieces of other new songs (like "circus", the refrain is really nice, but the rest of the song is boring), but all in all I'm really disappointed. I guess, it's my own fault. I was expecting a second "Time"-album, because in my eyes this album is Arashi's masterpiece. Well, whatever. I'll not stop listening to them, because they have some songs I really love :heart , but I feel kinda let down after the new album. @Beauty4123: Maybe "stupid" was the wrong word. Childish would be better. Aiba's and MatsuJun's solos sound so childish to me (in a bad way). I can't explain it were well, but I'm embarrassed to listen to them. |

anyway, i've edited the first post of this thread (and the title - but that should be fixed later) and the scans to this album are EPIC. i love the dark coloring the group and solo images have. it goes with the cute and light pictures of the album very well. everyone looks perfect as well! i thought ALL THE BEST! had a good booklet, but this is just...amazing. :smitten those glasses crack me up like crazy, lol. especially nino's picture! |
Oh man I love those pics so much!!
Nino :heart He's doing his smirk :love |
Quote:
It's always nice to see, that other fans are not going to get upset or even angry at other fans, because of their opinion. I also respect other peoples opinions, because everybody is allowed to think what they want. But I also hope, that the album will grow on me. But there is hope, because I'm slowly becoming madly addicted to "circus". It's a really catchy and awesome song. I also would have been very sad, if I didn't like a song called "circus"! :D I hope, that I'll also start to love the other songs eventually. By the way, GREAT first post and thread title (I love it! :heart). I love those pics, especially Nino's (his infamous smirk! ;)). The booklet is really nice...! |
brahaha I knew somehow or another you will be using those black sunglasses inspired pics , Lisa 8D
I'm predicting that Boku no Miteru Fukei will be 1 ARASHI album I will overplayed in my mp3player soon xD I can't even remember the last time I listened to Dream"A"live which's like the worst album in their discography to me (:innocent) It's the only album that I deleted songs from my mp3player too , I didn't do it in general for Iza , Now , One , ARASHIC & Time x) I want my copy now ;__; |
the minute i saw them, i'm like "these are PERFECT!" :roflmao there's so many good solo & groups shots in the booklet, omg. this album is just amazing all around! :luv2
i'm STILL listening to the album, btw. this isn't good because i should have a clear mind for tomorrow when i go for a college prep course :innocent |

bah evil JE >: (

& oh yeah when you update the 1st post tomorrow Lisa , it should be Løve Rainbow as it's stated as so on Johnny's Net , I guess they wanted to make it stylish :laugh Thankfully , avex Taiwan's to the rescue haha x) The fangirls can crash CDJapan/HMVJapan for all I care , I just sit back & wait for the Taiwan press while in the process thinking of which edition of Løve Rainbow to get for you in due time , Lisa :innocent except this time round , you can cherry pick whether you get the CD only or CD + DVD since the difference's that you will not get instrumentals for the CD + DVD There goes GLAY's chances of getting #1 on 8th Sept ~_~ |
okay karen, i already put the ø in the title :P honestly, i'd prefer it to just be a regular "o" but yea, haha. it doesn't really matter so much!
i prefer CD only, so i think i'll go with that version if you don't mind? :) i'm sorry to waste your money, karen! :weep but i'm confused - so there's no b-side again, and there's just an instrumental? btw, angelina jolie will be meeting jun on this saturday's Arashi ni Shiyagare! first he meets janet jackson and now angelina :laugh http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/3144623.html i can't wait to see his reaction! |
if you look at CDJapan's website , Løve Rainbow will come with a B-side that's untitled currently
CD only will come with instrumentals while the DVD will not have them but I don't know , I'm still deciding so I just leave things hanging on mid air currently 8D :laugh xD :innocent Quote:
|
oh okay, i'm not so confused now, haha! in a month from this sunday, it'll be the single release! so fast! :dead
|
yeah & it's quite scary D:
anyway this time round for Løve Rainbow , DVD wise , it doesn't come with a making offshot clip unlike what happened from My Girl - To be free http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/artists/...verainbow.html it's still priced the same at ￥1,470 though lol |
lol you would think the price would be a tad bit lower if there's no making of included :laugh it's fun to watch the making of so it's unfortunate :(
|
haha is that so ?
My younger sister watched the making offshot for To be free & she was so bored with it after viewing it D: I didn't really watch the making offshot clips for My Girl , Troublemaker , Monster & let alone To be free as I dont have that much time currently & I'm not sure if they're worth watching I think 99.99% you will say YES GO & WATCH THEM LOL |
well, To be free wasn't the best PV, so that's why the off-shot was sorta boring, lol. i enjoyed Monster and Troublemaker's, though. since there's more happening in those PVs :yes
My Girl was a cute PV as well, so the off-shot wasn't so bad, either. and i remember during Step & Go's off-shot, nino was playing his video games :P |
haha there were people who complained like there's no tomorrow that their PVs are boring ~_~ (you want to see boring , go & google/YouTube search Most Boring PVs & see whether will ARASHI be on the list or not :innocent)
But I really like To be free for its simplicity & you don't need to shell out a warehouse load ton of $ to make a OMG fantastic PV where the song's already good in its own right I feel it's best to save $ on a rainy day xD Quote:

preview pics of the limited edition of Boku no Miteiru Fukei
http://eirwen555.livejournal.com/21984.html wow when they say premium packaging , they really meant it :O I preordered the Taiwan/1st press of it some 2 weeks back & it wouldn't be out til 20th Aug but I'm excited to get it soon :D 2-3 weeks will pass by quite fast , I'm sure xD |
Oh WOW that looks super gorgeous!!
AHHHH I can't wait for mine!!!! |
it's in a digipack right? cause it looks like the inside of my ALL THE BEST! CD :P it looks awesome!
tomorrow is the day of the sales! i wonder what it'll be! edit: i read that sho was in moscow, probably for NEWS ZERO work. i wish he would come back to NY again :laugh |

I don't know what's that in the 1st/2nd pics , probably a fat slipcase/OBI but wow man , I can't wait to get my copy in 2-3 weeks's time I'm sure avex taiwan will do a great job in producing a replica of the album haha |
i have a very random question, it's about everyone's names except for jun and sho, lol. what are ohno, nino, and aiba's first name? i always assumed it was how we call them, but with japanese names, i sometimes get mixed up with this since japan goes by last name first, right?
so is it like this? (from last name to first name) aiba = aiba masaki nino - ninomiya kazunari ohno - ohno satoshi i feel like such a dumb arashi fan :weep i was just thinking about this today so it got me curious. |
^yup you have it right XD Masaki, Kazunari and Satoshi are their given or 'first' names.
I get mixed up sometimes too with Japanese names XD |
like for MatsuJun , Matsumoto is a very common surname in Japan & obviously Jun is his name
Sakurai Sho - Sho is his name while Sakurai is his surname for me , I called/acknowledge everyone based on their surnames . It's a habit really , that goes for KAT-TUN too if I start calling Ohno by his given name Satoshi , it will be really odd to me |
1st day sales for Boku no Miteiru Fukei - 275,081
http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/ it's quite safe to say that by tomorrow they will outsold Dream"A"Live & let alone their debut album within 2 days :thud They deserve it , I like this album so much more than their Dream"A"Live like way hahaha & what's even something's that it's only released in 1 edition . I think sales would have been even more enormous should they put out 2 editions but whatever , they have done really well even though it's only for the 1st day |
They still do run strong, and by the numbers, they still are... (I thought Arashi prefer ANA, but I can't believe why JAL took Arashi - maybe because Arashi is really strong while JAL is in need of help, especially when they are in bankruptcy, and they're thinking that Arashi could save JAL...)

congrats arashi...another number one on yearly chart...(no need to see the rest of it's charting sales number...)

flyer scans of the latest Mario Cart Wii game with MatsuJun & Nino
http://aishitsuzukeru.livejournal.com/103648.html xD I must admit I have not tried to play/use Wii but Wii Mario Cart , Wii Nintendo & let alone Wii Bowling look like a lot of fun man |
Yah Wii is quite fun ^^ I fail at Mario Cart though XD
Anyways great sales numbers!!! lol I hope they do top the chart!! :vevilol |
Quote:
and those first day sales are just what i wanted! :vevilol love it! by looking at that chart you posted, karen, it's incredible how they can outsell their past album sales in just one day! |
Loving this! This should shut all of those people who keep saying "but they're Johnny's and their albums never sell that well..." up XD.
People should learn that, honestly, Arashi has surpassed all the rest of Johnny's in terms of sales and popularity. There's no sense comparin' XD |
according to "The Television" magazine, arashi will be on next week's music station (along with SMAP & TOKIO) and they will perform troublemaker and......movin' on! :smitten this is a must watch, lol. hope it's a hot performance :P
|
Mario Kart wii seems so popular still as of today... I even tried it out last year and I even completed the game in full last year!
Oh wait, this is 2010 - when did Mario Kart Wii come out? |
^ couple of yrs ago

Hard to believe that their debut album only cleared 320K+ & it's their best selling album before Boku no Miteiru Fukei comes in :O Quote:
SMAP is still the best selling Johnny's of all time with 30-31 million worth of material sold by them since their debut in 1991 2nd's still KinKi Kids with 23-24 million I don't know where ARASHI's at , but I'm assuming 3rd ? just because in recent times ARASHI has been gaining in sales/popularity , doesn't mean you can say something as so |
Arashi might be going at a pace that they could be the new SMAP...
|
Quote:
|
oh if you're talking about pop culture relevance , then yeah both ARASHI is then on par with SMAP
I'm not familiar just how big SMAP was at their peak but I'm assuming what's happening now , is almost the same as what happened 10 years back if not even bigger/better |
I know that SMAP released a single on the same day as Arashi's album released and it went #1, though the sales numbers are not as high as Arashi is doing today, whether it's single or album...

They have few of the best selling singles this year and are going to have the best selling album of the year, 2nd year in a row, that's just amazing. x_X Did it happen with B'z or Mr.Children or SMAP or GLAY (or other acts if you want to mention bands/singers) in japan's history? (Excluding ayu and hikki of course) |
lol they are going to have the highest selling album of the year in a week!!!
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!! I feel a storm brewing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Music Station regular broadcast to have SMAP, TOKIO and Arashi all at the same time
http://community.livejournal.com/ara...t/1027228.html guess next Fri's the 13th will be a lucky one to watch out for xD |
not only did they surpass ALL THE BEST's first day sales, they even surpassed it's second day sales too! :weep
the storm is still in effect, LOL. :sdevil |

I cannot believe this... If there was a "handicap" system, then it would be fair game, but without such things, as well as the strong (and aggressive) Johnny's fanbase, right now it has been pretty much an unfair, unlevel playing field that is leaning more towards Arashi and the Johnny's artists...
I've even heard that the top four of July singles by Oricon (monthly sales) are swept by Johnny's artists, with Arashi leading the way! (Reference: AKB48 5th and 1st among girls, followed by Ayu in 6th, right behind these girls...) |
Quote:
unbelievable D: |
Quote:
But if Arashi goes for "four in a row", would that be kind of unlucky? I was putting that thought up because the number 4 is UNLUCKY in Japan (and this was the case when Ayu decided to not receive the Japan Record Awards after her third straight time because she wants to play fair as well as prevent the unlucky four-in-a-row stuff)... And if this is even possible, maybe the opponents against Johnny's might want to call a lawsuit that Johnny's sales such as Arashi has prevented new artists from getting #1, and it could be a possible reference to the Antimonopoly Law in Japan or such... It seems that Johnny and Associates are monopolizing Japanese pop music in some way, and I think that is unfair... Maybe Arashi should take a break after the next album... |
5music Taiwan already listed both editions of Løve Rainbow (Japan press) on their website
CD - http://www.5music.com.tw/CDList-C.asp?cdno=431455678675 CD + DVD - http://www.5music.com.tw/CDList-C.asp?cdno=431455678674 omg so expensive :dead2 excluding shipping CD - S$16.90+ CD + DVD - S$23.73+ It's quite shocking that the prices 5music Taiwan charged for Løve Rainbow is probably on par on what YesAsia might charged :no well Taiwan press to the rescue xD & I'm still waiting for 5music Taiwan to update their website with regards to the Taiwan press release for Boku no Miteiru Fukei it's still showing as 27th Aug at their end but 20th on avex Taiwan's |
wow..why so expensive? :(
|
don't forget Lisa , it's Japan press we're talking about
sites outside of Japan like YesAsia , HMV HK & 5musicTaiwan will charge more because you have to understand that they have to order the stock from Japan & then ship the item(s) out to you from their warehouses As such , you have to bear those extra costs if you want to get so & so X_X but for me , eh I don't see the need to get a Japan press of something where i just have to wait 16 days or less before the Taiwan press's out I'm quite patient in real life xD & that way it also saves me a lot of $ too points to Boku no Miteiru Fukei as a prime eg. :innocent & oh I'm surprised the Taiwan / 1st press for it is not out of print on 5musicTaiwan yet xD I think if I were to post this in the arashi_on community , it will happen very fast ;p |
but isn't the CDs from 5 music taiwan the taiwanese versions? that's why in my post i was surprised it was expensive.
it's late here, i'm sorry for the confusion, lol. just a bit confused :P but the taiwan versions are already available for order, right? or is what you posted just the japan presses and the taiwanese versions haven't been announced yet? |
haha well 5musicTaiwan do sell a mixture of Taiwan , Japanese & even Hong Kong presses of material xD
Naturally for Japan & HK press , it will be a bit more expensive as they have to import stock from overseas unlike Taiwan press where it's quite dirt cheap if you're talking about Løve Rainbow , 5music only have listed so far preorders for Japan presses for both editions The Taiwan press for both , the links are not up yet & I don't know when it will be out but I assume it will be 16 days after Japan's release date I will post them on here when I get more info on it & I'm still debating which one to get for you in due time :innocent xD |
OH NOW I GET IT! :dead i just thought they sold taiwanese versions only, so that's why i was sad in my first post, lol. i thought you posted the links for the taiwan versions :headache i never knew they sold other versions as well!!
but really, i'm fine with CD only, karen! :P it's cheaper anyway lol. sorry to be so confused! must be a sign to get some sleep :tired |
haha sorry for what happened earlier on , I forgot it was getting late at your end D:
well this time round like Ashita no Kioku / Crazy Moon , Everything & Monster , both the A & B-sides for Løve Rainbow will be the same in both CD & CD + DVD's Not like what happened in other singles of theirs like WISH , Kitto Daijoubu , Aozora Pedal , Love so sweet , We can make it ! , Happiness , Step and Go , One Love , truth / Kaze no Mukou e , Beautiful Days , Believe / KNK , My Girl , Troublemaker though except you will not get the instrumentals for the CD + DVD as always I probably get the CD + DVD of Løve Rainbow for you as once that's gone , it will be gone . You still can get CD only's in the near future but like what I said , I'm still considering x) |
lol well, i trust your choice on which version so i guess i'll leave it up to you :D just don't waste all your money on me :weep
|
5music Taiwan is a record store, right? An online record store?
|
5music has physical CD shops/stores in Taiwan
it's more or less Taiwan's answer to HMV as there're no HMV shops in Taiwan from what I know I don't know for Tower Records though |
they are doing amazing on the charts! I hope they are the year's first million seller.

An antimonopoly law does not mean you can sue an artist for being popular. It's not Arashi that's FORCING the people to buy their stuff. They just release something. People like it. That's all there is to it. You can like it or dislike it, but that's the way it is. |

So, here's how it goes for September:

A cheerful summer dance song, Lφve Rainbow serves as the theme song for the summer 2010 Fuji TV drama Natsu no Koi wa Niji Iro ni Kagayaku, starring Arashi member Matsumoto Jun and Takeuchi Yuko. This is the first time Arashi is providing a theme song for a drama at the extremely popular Monday night 9pm timeslot, solidifying the group's true popularity in the Japanese entertainment world. lol honestly I didn't know about this til earlier on D: |
how it sold over 500k in just 3 days...just amazing :weep i didn't think they'd surpass the 3rd day sales of ALL THE BEST, but the drop wasn't as hard as expected, so i'm satisfied with today's sales! :yes i think the album is getting sold out very quickly in stores, so maybe that's why. they better restock :laugh

a Singaporean like me posted a piece of news yesterday that locally at HMV , the 1st press of Boku no Miteiru Fukei is made available in stores
http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/3157420.html S$76.95 :thud :dead2 thanks but NO thanks :no |
oh yea, i saw that on arashi_on, too, lol. i was like :o! would anyone even pay almost 100 dollars just for an album?! :irked
|
yeah it's CRAZY :dead2
I don't understand why some people must insist to have everything Japan press , is it really worth it ? I just sit back , wait for the Taiwan press to be out & I still get the same thing but at 2/3 of the cost which I save I think people doesn't know about this until you really dive right into the belly of the beast xD |
These boys never age do they!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
:O The scans are great! |
DEM SALES. wow. i really wasn't expecting something this huge! maybe for the first week, not the first couple of days, haha. but huge congratulations. :cool
i have yet to listen to the album. :weep people keep pushing me out of the house. :laugh |
4th day sales for Boku no Miteiru Fukei - 54,727
http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/ total 4 day sales - 622,988 【嵐】 風景 Best Dream Time ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 月 ---,--- ---,--- ---,--- ---,--- 火 275,081 261,076 100,985 *80,187 水 183,521 171,046 *56,859 *53,381 木 109,659 120,568 *19,183 *20,365 金 54,727 *74,411 *15,111 *11,571 土 ***,*** *65,443 *14,824 *11,531 日 ***,*** *50,223 *13,760 *13,835 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1st week sales tbc 742,767 220,722 190,870 I don't think Boku no Miteiru Fukei will suppress the 1st week sales of ALL THE BEST ! from the look of things but still it has done really well & unofficially they have the best selling album in their discography & also this year on Oricon already within 4 days which's unbelievable D: :thud & oh yeah , I have write up a LONG album review on Boku no Miteiru Fukei via my music blog here it took me forever :thud & I think it's safe to say it's probably 1 of the longest album reviews I have written myself lmao xD but I'm satisfied in what I wrote about Boku no Miteiru Fukei :) |
Wah!! Highest selling album!! Wheeee~
Oh great review Karen :D It makes me so excited to hear the album!! |
lol I guess you haven't heard Boku no Miteiru Fukei , Caroline x)
but yeah it's tough not to be bias when I write reviews on singles/albums in my music blog especially when I really really like so & so in particular but so far I manage to balance things out in a way or 2 ;p |
it's doing more or less the same as ALL THE BEST, though. at least for the 3rd and 4th days. but i gotta stop comparing the two cause they're both different, lol. i just like seeing an album outsell a previous album :laugh but overall, the sales are AMAZING right now and i couldn't ask for more! :yes well done, araaaashi! now i wanna know how the first week sales will look like. maybe eventually the album could get the million?
oh, and irene, PLEASE listen to the album as soon as you can! i'm anxious to hear what you think about it! :P |
well their selling power in recent times have strengthen a lot
I'm very sure Boku no Miteiru Fukei's chances of crossing that magical million mark is very high since it already sold 622,988 in 4 days I still remembered last time Step and Go was #1 in the 1st week & it dropped all the way to #9 on the 2nd week X_X from One Love onwards , their charting performance on Oricon has improved greatly & at least now , their releases don't swing & go haywire like a rollercoaster if you know what I mean |
yea, i totally see what you mean, karen! so i guess i shouldn't worry then, lol. but wow, i was a fan at the time of Step and Go but i don't think i remember following it on oricon. #9 in the 2nd week? :dead it's amazing to see how far arashi has come since then.
|
yeah their selling/charting power was really terrible
I still remembered that time when they released Step and Go , OMG I was SO pissed that they were #1 because I was so Ken Hirai baited that time & I was hoping that his 1st double A-side single would get #1 but nooo it didn't & instead ARASHI took it & I WAS SO ANGRY :roflmao Looking back , I now find that incident HILARIOUS :laugh & I couldn't help but laugh at it now xD I find it quite hard to believe that I already listen to them & also Johnny's in particular for already close to 2 years now :thud |
haha, that's hilarious! :laugh are you still a ken hirai fan? :P
i became a "real" fan during the summer of 2008, but i was following arashi ever since the day the step and go PV came out (it was in february 2008, i think). i remember ayaka's te wo tsunagou PV also came out on that day. such memories :weep |
