Which Kumi albums are worth to buy?

So, like I've already said in the title, I want to know what are the best Kumi albums to buy regarding the packaging of the album (booklet, bonus disc etc.) (ONLY STUDIO ALBUMS)
I've been a fan for two years and I believe it's the time to buy 1-2 Kumi albums. My preferences are Feel my mind, Kingdom, TRICK, JAPONESQUE....but I don't know what to exclude...

So, please help me to choose! Priority are these 4 albums.

JAPONESQUE without a doubt , especially the CD + 2DVDs edition , packaging wise

But to me , JAPONESQUE is an all rounder from the songs to the concept & the external factors of it . The amount of time/effort put into it can be felt greatly & I think Koda nailed pretty much every single aspect of it well

Her other albums don't have the same type of packaging JAPONESQUE has but if your next factor to consider is the quality of songs , then TRICK will be the next to consider

I don't like Kingdom that much even though concept wise it's great . I can't comment that much for Feel my mind as I didn't listen to her 1st 3 albums

Kingdom's CD+2DVD packaging is really nice because it comes with a booklet of the live that's included with the package and three stickers. Really cute stuff!

JAPONESQUE's CD+2DVD package is beautiful, as well.

Definitely Kingdom cd+2dvd version. sweet little package, one of her best albums, and great extras.

feel my mind is a solidsolid album too, but it only comes in a regular single cd case. they did that thing where they use the 'back' of the case for the cover. so, thats kinda fun.
the booklet is cool, and the whole concept plays up the 'duality diva' thing she can do really well.

if you can find onie of the special versions of secret, you might enjoy that.
the copy i have came in a small plastic box with a tank top, and an incredibly glittery/sparkly obi around one of those slim double cases.
the album is pretty good, the dvd has lots, and my special edition has some bonus tracks.
there is also a secret second booklet.

TRICK CD+2DVD
I LOVE the "Dirty Ballroom ~One Night Live~"! TRICK was also my first album, so yes, I'm a little bias towards that album :3

I would say Second Session, Kingdom, Dejavu, Trick and Japonesque. With the DVDs, of course. They all have concert footage, so more bang for your buck. I also agree with what Karen said, about Japo's packaging. If you can find the digipak version.

Actually, I guess for concert footage, Bon Voyage would be agood buy, too. But, the edition with that DVD is going to be harder to find.
