JUST A QUICK WARNING!
While not pornographic, the pictures of the cover art of the single and the poster may get you in trouble if you're looking at them where you're not supposed to (shame, shame!). You've been warned!
FADELESS was released on August 21, 2013. The tracks for the -Auditory Impression- edition of the single is as follows:
1. FADELESS
2. QUIET
3. FORBIDDEN BEAVER
The tracklist for the -Optical Impression- edition is very similar, with two main differences. FORBIDDEN BEAVER is not included and the promotional video for FADELESS is included in a DVD along with the CD for the songs FADELESS and QUIET. The PV was briefly released on their official YouTube channel for a few days, and purposefully removed soon after, hence, no link to the official PV. As I understand it, they don't plan to release any of the PVs for BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY, so for those of you who definitely want the complete visual aspect, y'all have to go out and get the limited edition. Certainly pricy, but for those of you who can and would like to, please do! :) I will be doing an unboxing post on the limited edition of the album soon. Hands, legs, fingers, and toes crossed for its safe arrival!
Time for the goodies!
 |
| Ignore the crappy job at touching up the photo. Admire the package. |
 |
| Notice the poster tube nestled right in front of the green packing paper. |
 |
| After loosening the tape on one side, I decided to snap a picture before removing the entire thing. Definitely appreciate CDJapan taping the bubble wrap to the box to prevent any movement in case of jostling during shipping. |
 |
| Here's a picture of the poster removed from the tube. The tube's ends are bent in to prevent the poster from sliding around and out of the tube during shipping. Check down below to see what's printed on the strip of paper! :D |
 |
| Posters were given at random. This poster art is the cover art for the Optical Impression edition of the single. A sneak peek at the single in the top left corner! |
 |
| Not thrilled about the next few pictures taken, but here they are. Not the greatest angle in the world of the CD, but the text on the sticker of the shrink wrap is the most legible in this picture compared to the others pictures I took. |
 |
| CD sans shrink wrap. Notice "DARLING" is scratched at the top. |
 |
| Side view of the CD. The other side panel is exactly the same. |
 |
| A look at the inside contents. No design underneath the CD. It's just black. |
 |
| Track list! |
So there you have it! Not too much to say about the packaging of the CD, since it's pretty standard. I suppose they save the unique packaging for all their limited edition albums. As per usual (based on their recent singles that is), the single booklet is one single sheet folded into thirds. Also typical of their past few single releases, the booklet is is made of a photo paper-like quality, so it's glossy and very smooth. Also, the booklet is pretty difficult to take a good picture of because of glare and whatnot.
As for the music, you can be the judge of that yourself. :)
Anywho, if you're curious at all as to what the little white strip of paper that's wrapped around the poster says, here it is:

I think that'll be it for this unboxing. SO EXCITED FOR MY NEXT UNBOXING POST. But of course, everyone and their mother will have had their pictures and posts up before I even get my copy. I think that's happening as I'm writing up this post. But that's okay! I'm always late with my posts anyway!^^" Hopefully while this frenzy for pictures and information is running rampant, everyone is respectful of all the pictures, opinions, etc. that others have posted. No fighting please!
EEK. As I was writing this up, I got a notice saying IT WAS SHIPPED. \o/
Anywho, I'm going sit here and not spoil myself anymore than I already have with everyone's lovely pictures!! :D Until BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY arrives...!
