I know it's a little late now but "Swing Girls" is also available from Yesasia.

I ordered the Swing Girls Premium Edition, it was freaking expensive but well worth it. LOL I don't even feel like opening it to ruin the plastic etc... It's totally brand new....

Gonna save up some money to order other drama dvd box sets.

Btw THTL, anything new from Ms. Ueno? Oh yeah, the photobook you bought, what's it called again? Where you order it from? Wonder how many photobooks does she have..

She got another 'New-Comer' award alongside Tamaki Hiroshi, Aoi Yu, Ayase Haruka, and a couple others.

The photobook I bought was called 'A Piacere'. This is Ms. Ueno's second photo book. The first one was released in 1994 titled 'Juri First'. These two photo books were dedicated to her, but she did participate in three other books:

- A girl like you
- Nakigao
- Beauty Megane

I did my shopping almost exclusively at Amazon (JP).

Well, at least you know Japanese... How do you order since they don't ship internationally.

Amazon.co.jp does ship internationally: I've bought a number of calendars, books, videos, etc. from them and they've shipped it to me...

For a price. :sweat:

Actually you are wrong on both accounts. I don't know Japanese but since I can read Chinese, I can figure out what the kanji means. Amazon does ship internationally when the goods are from their warehouse. It is when they act as agent to other suppliers than shipping is limited to within Japan.

just got the SMAPxSMAP that has Ueno Juri in it...
thx a lot to qnuy

noob to the forum but not to Ueno Juri! i fell for her hard after Nodame Cantabile, and i'm currently in the phase of frantically searching the web of any of her stuff.

kudos to thtl and others for a great, interesting and eye-opening thread! found a lot of news and pics i never saw before.

i noticed there aren't any screencaps on Î‚¤‘å“VŽg(ƒ~ƒJƒGƒ‹) (Warau Mikaeru) yet so i did some. they're not organized or anything, but ooh they're pretty. :woot: :woot:

juri transfers to an elite all-girls school after her mother dies and she goes to live with her long-separated older brother. everybody is so formal that it makes her really uncomfortable. she doesn't like the food in her new home either.

she gets really hungry the next day at school so she skips class and goes into the forest surrounding the school to pick up firewood and make herself chicken ramen. she is eventually found by two other girls but the fire has gotten out of control, so they throw stuff into it and somehow causes a giant explosion. juri realizes that the other two girls are as unlady-like as she is.

the girls follow to the docks and get blown up right onto the pirate ship that has kidnapped their classmates (the girls who really have noble upbringing) to sell. fighting ensues.

everything goes back to normal. the girls get punished again (i'm not sure if it's because they got the noblegirls to try chicken ramen in the garden party, or they ran off during school hours to battle evil.) but the classmates they rescued come to thank them.
