Paradise Kiss act 2 Special Edition DVD

Received the ParaKiss act 2 special edition DVD yesterday at long last. It is a very heavy package because of the photo stand so that's why the shipping costs need to be doubled from the original estimate. In terms of the thickness of the box, this isn't as big as act 1 but act 2's package was much heavier. The colour scheme is red and pink as compared to the blue version for act 1. Arashi and Miwako take centrestage this time so I wonder who will be featured on the cover for the last version to be released next month? Surely it can't be Hiro-kun and Isabella? I'm guessing that the whole cast may appear for the act 3's cover since there are no couples left to be featured. Will the producers surprise us with a unthinkable combination or go according to my predictions?

Talking about the photostand, it's actually made up of two thick blocks of transparent plastic with four magnets at the edges to keep them together. I think it should be plastic instead of glass but then I wouldn't think of trying to prove it by dropping the item. There is a postcard of Yukari and George put within the photostand while the reverse has a butterfly logo. As such, this photostand of "substance" is the main "culprit" for causing the package to weigh so much. ^__^

There is a special booklet with interviews of the seiyuus who play the members of ParaKiss plus Yamada Yu who plays Yukari. As for the bonus disc, it contains a chat session among the seiyuus, concert of a certain band and promotion footage of the anime. I've yet to read the booklet or watch the bonus DVD so I'll post more details when I get to them.
