Snow Tears is Shokotan's 4th single. It comes in several different versions, as many Japanese idol CDs do. Amazon has listings for all three, and I will describe each as I noticed this review gets posted on all versions.
PORTRAIT COVER -------------- This edition, with a portrait of Shoko's head with her eyes closed on the cover, is the CD+DVD edition. Tracks on the CD are:
1. snow tears 2. Kimi ni Meroron 3. Winter Wish 4. snow tears ~Instrumental~
With this single Shoko really comes into her own via a few ballad and power ballad tracks. I think her voice is well-suited to these kinds of songs, and this snow tears Single is my personal favorite out of all Shokotan's single CDs. Track 1 ended up on her first album Big Bang, but this single is the only place to get Tracks 2 and 3.
The CD cover has one photo of Shoko's head; the traycard inside has a similar photo but with her eyes open. These are the two pictures you get in this release. All the photos for all three editions of this single are quite pretty.
This edition also comes with a DVD, about 10 minutes long. The DVD is Region 2 (Japan), so you will need some way to play it. It contains:
1. snow tears PV (the music video) 2. Behind-the-scenes making-of the "snow tears" music video
FULL BODY COVER --------------- This version with the full-body shot of Shokotan is the CD-only edition. The CD contains the same four tracks as above; no DVD is included. This edition has two pictures of Shokotan also: the full-body shot on the cover, then the same open-eye traycard photo as the CD+DVD edition. Same info about the music applies.
NEKO ANIME COVER ---------------- This edition is focused on the anime Hakaba Kitaro and comes in a glossy digipak-type case (rather than a standard jewel case). It has a slightly different track list. You get:
1. snow tears 2. Kimi ni Meroron 3. Winter Wish 4. snow tears ~TV size~
This tie-in comes because "snow tears" was the Opening song for Hakaba Kitaro and Shokotan voice-acted the character of Neko.
This edition comes with a Shokotan Cosplay Sticker Sheet and photos on the inserts. You get a sticker sheet with 13 stickers of Shoko as wild-version Neko. Between the inside cover, under the tray, and the CD itself, you get 4 photos of Shoko as regular Neko and 1 photo of her as wild-Neko. Ferocious! Shoko is great at cosplaying, as usual.
