What to do about PHOTOBOOKS!!!

I just had my birthday and I am saving most of the cash I received, but I'm going to spend a bit on me. I found this store: www.kimook.com. They sell Asian films with subs at a reasonable price, plus no extra shipping or tax charges! I spent $50 and bought three films that are not available in the US and are hard to find w/ subs online. Now I have $100 that I can spend on myself. I didn't just want to buy all movies. I want to buy one of the big AKB concerts, but they are hard to find in my region. DAMN U Region Codes!!!
Anyway, I have been interested in purchasing either two photobooks or photo cards. Since photo cards are only available at the Hello Store USA, and shipping is a bitch, I ditched that plan. YesAsia has plenty of photobooks, but to decide which two. I am making lists and lowering them down, but I'm still stuck. I don't want to waste my money.
Here is my list:


Sugaya Risako Photo Album -Risou : I love her and her pouting face. She had the plus that darling Reina lacks. Reina is too much on the skinny side for my taste, however Risako is built like a normal teen girl.


Michishige Sayumi Photo Album -Twenty 13th July : She is my favorite overall out of Morning Musume. She is sexy, cute, and has an entertaining personality. This photobook looks very natural.


Yajima Maimi Photo Album -17 (w / DVD) : I only recently got into C-ute, but Maimi has a great voice and after she cut off her hair she officially went on my favorites list. I like her personality, but I'm still unsure about buying one of her photobooks.


Itano Tomomi -T.O.M.O.rrow, Cawaii Vol. 1 (Tomomi Itano) or South (Minami Minegishi): I thought this was going to be a forsure purchase, but the more I think about it the less confident I become. She is one of my favs, and she can take a great picture. Do I want this more than Minami's photobook. Tomomi's is about ten dollars cheaper too. Then the TOMOCAWAII! VOL.1 In Summer is also on the cheaper side. I have only seen a couple previews of this pb.


Kojima Haruna Photo Album -Kojiharu : I adore Haruna. I've seen tons of samples, most of them I love or really like. This is the cheapest out of them all.


Konno Asami Photo Album - See you again (with Making-of DVD) : KonKon is one of my all time favorites. Seeing her in pigtails warms my heart. This is one that is high on my list to get. I am also considering the chances that this will become less available over time, seeing that this is the oldest and less active idol in comparison with the others. For example, I can't find the Nozomi Tsuji pb from when she was 19.

If you have any recommendations or personal opinions on any of these or other pbs please let me know. I could always wait to see Eri's new pb that comes out in Feb.
