OBI Strips Thread

Recommended Posts

Note to mods: Decided to put it here cause it seemed the most appropriate, but please move to a better place if you think otherwise. x

 

This is a thread to discuss OBI strips which are the strips of paper on most (if not all) Asian music releases, as well as assorted video, game & Western music releases.

 

To start, here's the OBI strip of all of Lana's Japanese albums (pics politely stolen from Discogs):

plus the Taiwanese Violet OBI (cause it hasn't been released on CD in Japan)

i absolutely LOVE obi strips, they're such a cute packaging thing, especially when done by asian artists, they get really creative with it! when it comes to western artists i sometimes find it funny bc they be having random ass phrases and that makes me laugh lmao i once saw one for gaga's joanne and it was something like "gaga: human return" out of nowhere, never a dull moment with asian music industry :ma:

I'm adding pics of these and whoever came up with the idea of Dell's booklet is my worst enemy 🤡

But that poster is amazing!

i loveeee obi strips i hope to own some one day.

ive always wanted to design some too but i’m worried the japanese translation will come out wrong, and i’m not really sure what information to include 

tbh you could just find an already existing one for the artist youre making a design of and just copy + paste the text :true:
