Deji Deji: To buy or not to buy

Hi there! I really can't decide so I need your advices. My bank delayed payment for my order on HMV so I choose another strategy.
Well, the situation is such - I can get:
- Next level 2cd+dvd fp + I am + Rainbow

or

- Next Level 2cd + dvd fp + deji deji photobook fp

Really can't decide.
I have to place order in 2-3 days to feel myself calm^^
Well I can have I am + Rainbow with 20% discount! and Rainbow is my favourite album or.... Deji Deji...

What would you advice to me? and please try to explain your position 'coz comments like "I'd better take Deji Deji" will kill me^^

I'm really lost^^ Please help^^

Thank you in advance

PS If there some mega-cute photos whic will be printed in Deji Deji you can post them also to prove how kawaii book will be because ViVi gallery on zyrex.org doesn't seem full to me

In my opinion you should get Next Level 2cd + dvd fp + deji deji photobook fp.

Bc NEXT LEVEL and Deji Deji are limited editions , plus you can get RAINBOW later it won't be sold out =)
Deji Deji will be awesome

I was just wondering if I should buy deji deji myself.

I'd advice you to buy the cds, but only if you listen to them. If you're buying the cds for collection purpose only, buy the deji deji - you most probably won't be using both things very often and deji deji fp is limited.

my answer's no

I rather use the $ to buy NEXT LEVEL . You can always download soft copies of Deji Deji ie. if you're someone who doesn't mind it as I'm sure that fans will bound to scan the whole thing up

besides I'm quite sure that you will flip at the book & might not understand what's going on in there , assuming that you don't have Japanese background

at the end of the day you have to ask yourself is it really worth it ? If not then buy NEXT LEVEL

I think you should get the book. If RAINBOW is your favorite album, you've obviously heard it. And that will be available for a while (at probably a lower price later on). This book, however, is very limited... I think only YesAsia has it right now and the price went up a bit, so you should get it soon! Even if you don't understand Japanese, you don't need to know Japanese to enjoy her music and I doubt you'll need to know it to enjoy the book lol.

It's a tough call. personally I would get RAINBOW and I Am... second hand on eBay and get the new releases first press (not just 'cuz I'm cheap...you can't get the long obi from I Am... if you buy it 'new' now. eBay stores like Dora's store sell I Am... with long obi for about $7-10USD)

It also depends on if you like to look at photo and diaries scans a lot or if you just want to see them once-twice. I'll probably scan some pages when my copy arrives and so will other people if they have scanners. Most DejiDeji are online already so it's only going to be about 20-30 new ones and some random shots from Vivi magazines. Do you like the diaries or are after the Vivi shots or just a few pictures from them scanned at higher quality?

Also consider that books generally aren't so great to get second hand down the track. I got Uraayu online and it smells a little funny =\ If you're going to want it down the track, buy DejiDeji now and wait for the CDs later. The second pressing of DejiDeji will be smaller (and probably harder to read) and is unlikely to be any cheaper.

Get 'em all if you can lol. That diary looks pretty huge. I think it's worth the money. The thing is CDJapan already is out of print with that. I think it's a limited print item. It'll run out eventually then. You should try and procure it while you can. I had to place my order with YesAsia because CDJapan ran out. They might have made more due to demand though.

Well, you have the choice of a huge first press book, or just 2 normal edition albums.. I would shure pick the book. But well, there is some people that think I'm wierd because I more want first press items xD I would go for the albums on Ebay instead, and get the first press book now
