Yay for more album unboxings! This one is in honor of GOT7 announcing their world tour for 2018… I’m already shaking like a chihuahua in excitement. Now, I know this is a slightly older release, but this is the first time that JYP handed songwriting over to any of the members of GOT7, and quite frankly, it was probably one of the best decisions that he made in 2017 because this album is phenomenal, and one that I definitely do not regret buying. Every single song on it has songwriting credits for Jinyoung and JB, and quite frankly I think this is the beginning of a new era where GOT7 will be better than ever. This Era continued into 7 for 7, but to be honest it really began with JJ Project: Verse 2, as you can hear similar sounds in both albums. Overall, it is an excellent album from start to finish, and it is a very different sound than anything we have previously heard from GOT7.

K-Points: 892/5
The quality of the music on the album itself, plus the photobooks… totally have me dying a little bit when I look at them. They are definitely slightly homoerotic but the photos are totally drool-worthy and make you wish that you were in that room with them, and stealing Jinyoung’s excessively comfy-looking sweatshirt. This album just pushes Jinyoung and JB higher on the liking scale to the point if someone ever asked me who I liked out of GOT7 the most, my head could potentially explode (my default is usually YoungJae, but that is just because when he tries to English, it is adorable).
Do you need this album in your collection? I, personally, would say yes, but I’m just such a big GOT7 fan that I am biased. The music on this album and the photobooks themselves are so good, and they give you so many extra things with them that they are 100% worth the money. You get more for the money since they give you extra posters, photo cards, and then that big photo card in the front. If you can only buy one version though, go for the “Tomorrow” version. I like the photos in both, but the Tomorrow version is just slightly better.
Where Can I Buy it?
I purchased this album from a place that I will not shop from anymore. You may be able to order a copy of the album from eBay, as they typically have good prices. Plus, with eBay, you can save a little bit of money by using the Rakuten extension on your browser, as it will save you 2% on all album purchases, which definitely adds up.
What is Rakuten?
Rakuten is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Rakuten, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over $80 back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!
If you’ve never used Rakuten before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using Rakuten. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from. Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Ulta typically has 3%. These are just some of the companies on the website, but there are other major retailers on there as well!
Rakuten also has a Google Chrome extension that will tell you as soon as you log onto a site that has cashback with a little pop-up in the corner so that you can ensure you are saving money!
