Infinite: 24 Hours Single (Limited) Review

I have blogged in length about Infinite's Japanese single 24 Hours in previous posts:  the first press normal edition, here, and the seven member versions, here. In this post, I will do an unboxing of the limited version.

The front cover shows Infinite looking princely in Tom Brown attire. The dimensions of this album are similar to those of Infinite's other releases, 7.375" by 5.5" by 0.4375". The photos from this version are all from the Tom Brown photoshoot.

There is also a sticker on the wrapping indicating the contents of this version.

The back cover shows an individual picture per member, along with the CD and DVD tracklists. This version, like the first press normal edition, contains the original Japanese songs "24 Hours" and "Just Another Lonely Night", along with the Japanese version of "Together". I absolutely love "24 Hours" and "Just Another Lonely Night" and am still hoping that Infinite will releases these songs in Korean.

Opening the flap reveals the double disc holder, with the CD on top and the DVD on the bottom.

Underneath the DVD there is more info about the disc. The DVD is for all regions and contains the "24 Hours" music video and the making of this release. The making is just over 21 minutes long and is all spoken in Korean with automatic Japanese subtitles. The first 5.5 minutes shows the behind-the-scenes from the 3 photoshoots for this release. The remaining time is for the behind-the-scenes of the "24 Hours" music video. Throughout the making, the instrumental version of "24 Hours" as well as the regular version alternate in the foreground. There are also mini impromptu individual interviews of each member talking to the camera. It's also adorable seeing Infinite playing around in between filming. Lastly, I loved seeing Woohyun singing the chorus live, as well as Dongwoo singing his parts live and even singing a bit from Infinite H's Fly Again album!

The limited editions of Infinite's Japanese albums had always been lacking, because they're usually made of thin cardboard and like an open book with a loose photobooklet that just slips out of the album. However this time, Woollim has improved a lot with its packaging. The front cover of the album actually has a flap securely storing the photobooklet, along with the event card and photocard.

Here is the event card, meant for May 31st, 2015. There is also a QR code that takes you to Infinite's homepage on Universal Music's Japanese site.

Both the first press normal edition and this limited version come with 1 of 8 different types of photocards, 1 per member and a group one. All 8 cards are photos from the Tom Brown photoshoot not included in any of the albums. The photocard is the same size as Infinite's smallest photocards, like from Paradise and Season 2. Most albums come with the group photocard, like my normal album. But this time, I got Sungyeol! At first I was laughing because I usually get Sungyeol, but then I realized I'm lucky just not to have pulled another group card.

The backside has information about listening to Sungyeol's hidden message online. Each member photocard comes with a link and QR code for the message, however there was an expiration date of 2015.

The photobooklet has 14 pages, excluding the front and back cover.

The back cover has the album credits.

Each member has their own page.

There are also 3 pages for the song lyrics and song credits. "24 Hours" and "Just Another Lonely Night" were originally written in Japanese.

There are also 2 2-page group photos. The last page also includes Infinite's social media information.

Overall, I really love this album! The songs are really beautiful, as expected since Infinite continues releasing top quality songs only in Japanese (that I'm forever waiting for a Korean version), the photoshoot for this album is really dashing, and the making DVD is fun as always.
