"The Greatest Showman."
Yep, the Blu-ray & DVD of "The Greatest Showman," or "グレイテスト・ショーマン" in Japanese, is released TODAY in Japan. 
It's been very popular here, too.
Other special videos were added on their official website and the You-tube channel as well.
To tell you the truth, I got it yesterday.
Well, Japanese people call this flying get, which means purchasing items including CDs and DVDs before they're officially released. The word is so-called Japanglish, haha.
Celebrated the release with the symｂol and the most popular pancakes of Eggs 'n Things.
It's called"Strawberry Whipped Cream and Macadamia Nuts" pancake.
Their pancakes are served with generous whipped cream, you know.
I got their Blu-ray & DVD version at Tower Records Omotesando Cafe yesterday, and I'm writing this blog post playing its DVD and listening to it. I watched the DVD last night and is going to watch the Blu-ray tomorrow.
The Blu-ray is said to have bonus features like the videos that have appeared, I guess, though the special package ver. seems to have more. So that's why I do think I should have reserved much earlier online. When I first knew Blu-ray & DVD of "The Greatest Showman" was going to be released and checked online such as HMV, Tower Records and Amazon, their limited quantity item was still available.
As I wrote in the previous blog post, I tried the costume replica of the main character, P.T. Barnum, the first time I went to the cafe. Hugh Jackman plays the main role in the film, you know. This time, the outfit of Phillip Carlyle, the character played by Zac Efron. The cafe also shows the purple costume replica of Anne, the female character with the pink wig. Phillip falls in love with her.
I love purple.
By the way, that purple flip flops ... I got online. They're flip flops of POPITS, a brand born in L.A. and became popular especially in Hawaii. They say "Born in LA, Raised in Hawaii." I'll write about them sometime. They're so cool and beautiful.
At first I thought they were a little too small for my feet, but while I walked in them yesterday, I found them comfortable. Also, their charms are expensive in general when we try to purchase them in Japan, not in Hawaii, but they deserve it, I think. I'll get the deep green one with a silver star charm and a green pon pon some other time. Green is my hon's favorite color.
The photo shows they're like violet or blue ones, but they're not. They are totally purple. These charms are shining, and they make me feel cheerful. I think the gold star goes very well with purple ones. It's like a shining star in the night sky. Don't you think so?
Go back to the original topic.
I went to Tower Records Omotesando Cafe not only to get what I had reserved but also to try "THIS IS ME" latte and another limited beverage there. You know, I already had "THE GREATEST SHOWMAN" latte last week.
It seems the cafe is going to last longer than they first decided. They'll be displaying five costume replicas including these three and the previous two from today till June 3.
On top of that, they'll add a food item themed on the song "Come Alive" and special beverages named "Grandmaster Latte." You can see the photos here again.
I do like this song.
Now that I have the Blu-ray & DVD, I can practice dancing to the song while watching it. So sad I couldn't reserve and purchase their special package Blu-rays item, which includes the dance tutorial for "This Is Me." I still can't get over it.
I reserved it last week when I first came by the cafe. Why did I want to get it at the cafe? Well, they anounced they'd give away these special free gifts, the pin badge and the clear file folder, to those who reserved early. Also, they gave that small card, on which this year's calendar is printed, on a first-come first-served basis. There are 5 designs, and we can't choose which one we want.
The clear file folder's front & back.
The pin badge.
The calendar card; front & back or vice versa.
Anyway, I had Phillip Carlyle-themed iced beverage as well as "THIS IS ME" latte at the cafe yesterday.
The latte has two designs, "THE GREATEST SHOWMAN" and "THIS IS ME," as I've mentioned earlier, and it tastes great. The Carlyle-themed drink is actually an iced chocolate cookie latte. It tastes bitter and sweet, which symbolizes his love to Anne, they say.
"This Is Me." Yeah, that's it.
