That'd definitely be nice, assuming Gyuri is able to travel out of country at the moment (since her movie is opening soon).

Gyuri's been posting to Insta lately about seeing musicals, having gone to see Fiestar's Linzy in Peste and Yewon Kim in Jack the Ripper. https://twitter.com/oyagyuri/status/779310122518519812 https://twitter.com/oyagyuri/status/781681739869593600 Also she posted a penguin jpg to Twitter: Her new movie will also have a preview event on October 12th, though tickets to it have to be won. It'll also be shown during Korean Cinema Week 2016 in Tokyo, specifically on October 26th and the 29th.

We sincerely thank you for always supporting Nicole. At this time, due to her contract expiring with her Japanese agency CJ Victor Entertainment, we'll be closing the Nicole Japan Official Site on October 14th. No matter the time, everyone gave their unchanging love to her, we'd like to thank all the fans from the bottom of our hearts for supporting her Japanese activities so far, and give a profound apology for the sudden announcement. Going forward, please continue to give Nicole your warm support. 2016.9.30 Nicole Japan Official Site management team source: http://nicole-cjve.jp/news.cgi/view/137 translation: dubious

Jiyoung has a LINE account now: @Jiyoung This is the auto message it sends upon being added: Hopefully some of the others make accounts in the future ;w;

Somewhat quick translation, but here: 行動でもっと伝えて 甘い言葉なら no thank you! Your actions are more telling, if they're sweet words, no thank you! 大人への階段ステップしたい　メラメラメラメラメ I want to step towards the stairway towards adulthood, burning, burning up 迷ったりなんてしないよ　さよなら私の少女 I won't get lost, goodbye my girl 振り返ったりはしないよ　さよなら私の少女 I won't look back, goodbye my girl

It doesn't specify how many pages there are, not sure why. I'd imagine it's similar to others though? (So 24-36 pages more than likely.) Also off-hand: the regular edition of the single was released today on iTunes.

Full version of "Hello Mr." from her radio show:

I'd be open to this if it's on the east coast in any capacity. But yeah, the fact that all of us in Canada alone are spread out might make it hard either way ;~;

Adding this here: both Yuda and I translated the part regarding KARA, and it's pretty obvious from both that akp decided to write that part to make it seem like Seungyeon wanted to be entirely separated from the group, when in reality she merely wants it to be known that she's focusing on her solo work right now. Likewise, Seungyeon pointed out it was an improper translation from them on her twitter (which I realize you noted already, but felt it needed to be pointed out again). But, I suppose some have nothing to do but try and stir up drama, even if it's by misconstruing someone's words ;w;

Full audio of "Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto": There was a longer version of the PV floating around too, but it seems to have been taken down ;~;

Saigo no Sayonara BTS video, it's kind of short given it was only available through her fanclub :v

Apparently Jiyoung finished recording some new music, meaning she should be releasing a new single soon. From her Twitter: Everyone, it's been a little while. JY as of late has been... Honestly, she has finally finished her song recordings♪ These pictures are of her "JY bread" gift V( )V (The two hashtags translate as "anyway, look forward to it, okay?" and "inside the bread are sandwiches".)

The fanmeeting itself wasn't sold out (unless the tickets sold out after that tweet, but it doesn't look like it), the one that was is the lunch event two days after it. Still good though. The other thing is that was the presale tickets, there's more tickets going on sale starting tomorrow at 10 in the morning for both the fanmeeting and lunch events.

Yeah, I thought that's what I typed but seems having to type Girls Talk more than once got that title stuck in my head, not to mention Girls Talk type B doesn't even have a DVD lol Thanks for the point out :>

That's noted in the OP, unless you're referring to how disc 7 and 8 say "TBA", which is due to that being what the site says for their contents right now in the part mentioning what each disc specifically has. I imagine that's mostly because they don't know what play order to put stuff in yet and/or entirely what they're including. Don't think so, the site doesn't indicate they do anyway (the address part of the sign up form doesn't list "overseas" or other countries as options, just prefectures).

For covers, the normal edition is much better than the other two. Type A's has her face too hidden for me, and type B is... just an odd choice honestly. Song-wise, Lucky Day and LUNAR would be the two best for me. Least favorite is recall, but I didn't like it when it was first released to begin with. The Japanese version of MAMA... could have been much better. Not sure why they altered the instrumental firstly (though I guess it kind of distinguishes it a bit from the original), but my main issue is how lazy the lyrics are to me. It comes off more as a direct translation of the Korean lyrics that someone altered so it was singable to the song's melody instead of an actual Japanese version D:

Noticed that too, and decided to see if it was like that in the single's book... it's not lol Wonder if it's just a typo in type B or if all bliss editions did that though D:

Do you want to take a pic of that text spot there? Also my copy shipped early yesterday, and probably won't show up until Friday... ;~; But it has the extra track so it's worth the wait since I've been waiting for a Japanese version of MAMA since the Korean one came out.

Full version of HAPPY:

More or less. The memory thing might have also been provoked by Seungyeon, as her current project had a page open for people to send in their memories of/with her.

According to CJVE's website, the bonus footage on the type A DVD for bliss consists of footage from: - 2016 Calendar shooting - Christmas Fan Meeting - DON'T STOP release event in Tokyo source
