happy Boxes are Fukubukuro, a common way for japanese companies to get rid of stuff they still have sitting in their warehouse from during the year.

Whenever I see Wonho's name I think of BM from Kard's fanboying over him

I know that they're different things lol I was wondering about the timing as a Christmas/New Year release. Moving to a more standard release as older stock collected versus a dedicated seasonal item. The older Happy Boxes had stuff from a few previous years, so that's what made me wonder Did they ever run both at the same time?

I thought Happy Boxes were already the "thing" when I became a fan and I don't remember any Christmas merch. Kind of a missed opportunity to not do it this year when she does a concert on Dec 24th lol.

According to AHS Search the first Happy Box was 2008.
But Fukubukros in general are much older, they date back to the late Meji era according to Wikipedia.
They are usally given out on the 1st January, so they connect to new year, christmas isn´t a thing in japanaese culture,they just adapted it from the West.

Looking at Timmy's recent retweets, it wouldn't surprise me if that's the reason for him leaving. He's retweeting stuff that pretty much downplays the virus and frames it as a government conspiracy.

Tales Of fans ranked their favorite games and songs from the saga and both openings by Ayu (progress and Song 4 u) made it to the Top 10!

1.- “Karma” by Bump of Chicken (Tales of the Abyss)
2.- “Starry Heavens” by day after tomorrow (Tales of Symphonia)
3.- “Yume de Aru You ni” by DEEN (Tales of Destiny)
4.- “Kane wo Narashite” by Bonnie Pink (Tales of Vesperia)
5.- “Song 4 u” by Ayumi Hamasaki (Tales of Xillia 2)
6.- “Yume wa Owaranai ~Kobore Ochiru Toki no Shizuku~” by Yukari Yoshida/Yomi (Tales of Phantasia)
7.- “Soshite Boku ni Dekiru Koto” by day after tomorrow (Tales of Symphonia)
8.- “key to my heart” by Mai Kuraki (Tales of Destiny 2)
9.- “progress” by Ayumi Hamasaki (Tales of Xillia)
10.- “Mamoritai ~White Wishes~” by BoA (Tales of Graces)

Considering that there are over 20 Tales Of games (and openings) it's really nice to see both of her openings in the Top 10

I'm listening to Close to You right now.

Such a beautiful song... the lyrics are simple but full of love and peace. It's just what I needed right now.

Orchestra concert held to commemorate the 25th anniversary of "Tales of", also seems like there'll be a live CD released next march.

16:05 「progress」
21:05 「 Song 4 u」

Really love the arrangements for both songs, would love to hear Ayu singing with those

this is truly amazing work M.A.X.! compiling all those clips.

watching this, I couldn't help but raise all our awareness about #JUSTICEFORRETURNROAD. also, I love how this ends with Dreamed a Dream and a 'to be continued' title card. gives me goosebumps because I love that song so much.

Ok ^^

Oh really, strange choices? Which ones? I'm really curious ^^

I mostly tried to do my best with performances I like the most with the less lipsync as possible. Also I hate AT 2007 & some files didn’t work with my software.
