RINA continues to amaze me
 .wow. 

although it is unlikely 
would be nice if there was an edition of the book in English

anyway I will look how to buy 
there are probability that it appears in the catalog of CDJapan

I'm surprised =O But not really in a way, RINA loves to write/blog and is like a poet most of the times  .love. So if someone in SCANDAL comes up with a book it has to be her of course =P

Looks like it will be interesting if there are new photos and interviews. Maybe one of the interviews was that long interview she gave some time ago? Also great that she will talk about some private things, I wonder if she will mention he sentimental life.

When I read the title I thought about a photobook from her, we know she loves to take photos and my first thought was that she was releasing a big book with all her photos ^^ Maybe this book will contain some and be a mix with text/story/interviews too.

Love the pic used for the cover

I suppose it will only be in japanese but still, a must have for any RINA fans!

wooaaaaa this is just really really cool!! I wonder if it'll be available for international shipping or something? 

ITS A RINA BOOK!!!

i want to buy it

I will definitely buy this one if it'll be available for international shipping

This is amazing! I always thought RINA should get a job as a writer, but I never thought she'll do it this soon. Very nice :D

Wow this is really nice. I would really love to buy this book even if its in Japanese. I will definitely learn to read it. I really hope this will be available in other bookstores, like outside Japan, or for international shipping. :D

I want to buy 

Well if it's available in "all other places" it should be in some online shop that ships internationally (amazon.jp? CDJ?) I guess. 2000¥ isn't really expensive but there is the shipping too :/ Also the book isn't a limited edition (only the signed copies are limited) so you will time to buy/find it.

I wonder if RINA or the staff will shows us some pages of the book as a promo and so we could see how it looks like.

EDIT: Oh and it's coming out on her birthday, nice touch there  .love. 

I hope from 9/1 it's available to overseas fans. I really want to buy it. .please.

Only the cover photo alone worth every penny.

Interesting.. i can imagine RINA fans are going crazy about this right now. lol. i know i would if HARU decides to do something like this. <3 

i would buy. if its easy enough to order online.  

Ah, sorry, guys; I translated the info right after I woke up haha so I just realized I had made a few errors.

The books will only be available to purchase starting from 8/21 at the SCANDAL SHOP locations, at the OTODAMA live venue, and through Kitty Web Shop (Kitty pre-orders start 8/21 and will be shipped out starting 9/1). It will not be available for purchase anywhere else, meaning that stores like CD Japan will not be carrying it.

Well actually that makes a bit more sense but is of course bad for a lot of fans ^^ It's a SCANDAL product and will surely be a good seller in their shops. Would have been cool for international fans to simply buy it online like a CD.

a pity

anyway will have to find another way to buy  .hora.

I'm going back to Tokyo the 21st but at 5pm.... tsssss I think I will not be able to get sign one  .waaa.

^babaloued  You sure love going to Japan! Aha it was just funny seeing you comment about going to Tokyo.. again. At least you'll get a copy =)

It's a shame that it won't be sold in regular stores, although I can understand why. It's a special book for Rina, the band, and the fans so it'll be a nice item to make a SCANDAL shop/website exclusive sort of thing.

Although I guess this means I'll need to learn how to use a forwarding service so I can actually order one. OuO Are there any good forwarding services that people would recommend that can buy from the Kitty Web Shop? And can forwarding services help us pre-order items or would we need to wait until September 1 to order?

As i will only be able to reach Tokyo at 5pm, i'm not sure to get one... less than 2h is enough to sell all signed books and if SS only sell those, it's going to be the end for me  .nervous.

Pretty sure the long queue will show up from early morning.

@babaloued  Is the Scandal Shop not selling un-signed copies? Did I miss something? From Rina's blog it sounded like she didn't get to sign as many she wanted.. But I still hope the best for you! Cross our fingers aha. 

@Airi-chan I also asked once a while back and I got the site "Tenso". I haven't used it though but maybe you can check it out~ And people who actually know what they're talking about please correct me if I'm wrong.

No, they will start selling the non-signed copies once they sell out of the signed copies. They can't solely sell just the signed ones since they'll be so few in number.

For those who might be interested in trying to get a copy from the Kitty Web Shop, I wrote a small guide on how to do so here, which I'll C&P in this thread.

Are you overseas (not located in Japan) and want to buy goods from the Kitty Web Shop?

You have two options:

1) You can place an order yourself if you have your own credit card. Kitty does not ship overseas, so you would need to sign up with a package forwarding site like Tenso, have the package sent to them, and they'll send it to you for a small fee plus the cost of shipping. You would need to figure out how to input all of the shipping information in Japanese on Kitty's site, though, and you must pay Kitty by credit card.

2) If you want someone to figure out everything for you, you should use a deputy site like Rinkya to buy it for you and send it to you. It costs quite a bit more this way since you need to pay them higher fees, but you wouldn't have to figure stuff out. You just need to tell them what you want, pay them, and they'll send it out to you once they receive your order.

I would so buy this. Wish there were an easier way for overseas people

I wouldn't mind using a forwarder as well or a trusted member.

so i can buy the book  only from Kitty Web Shop......... probably i would try to buy it, but i think the book is only in japanese......and i don`t know japanese  .waaa.
