The Official "OBI-Strip" Thread

[thinkingoutloud89]

I talked to ~Kitty~ sometime ago about the meaning of the OBI for me. I came to the conclusion that the OBI is what makes an Japanese CD for me. Cds who don´t have an OBI look weird to me today, even the western ones who don´t have one XD

So i tought we dedicate a Thread with questions and so on and so forth all around the little pieces of paper!

What is an OBI first of all....

The word OBI comes from the piece of cloth which holds the Kimono of a Geisha together.
But this meaning is different. It is the paper strip at the side of an Japanese CD which holds advertisement and other substancal information about the release. Fans consider the strip as very important and most of them don´t buy a used CD when the OBI is missing.


As i said OBis a very important to me. So which is your favourite OBI?
I really like the one of the Daybreak Single of Ayumi Hamasaki or the limited one of Yume no Uta/Futari de... by Koda Kumi....they are really cool looking and made out of plastic....

And I have a question too. Does Namie Amuros CONCENTRATIOn 20 have one?
