I'm going to buy a Hobinichi planner this year, hopefully with that lovely Mother cover. I take it I should wait until September (or is that just when the Mother cover comes out?) for the 2016 planner, right? I'm bit confused about what dates the planner covers.

There's been a couple times I've wished I've had some memo paper on me just for some random notes, or to write something down for a friend, but all I've had is my Hobonichi, which of course I don't want to tear paper out of. I've been looking for a small memo book that has a grid like the hobonichi, preferably opens like a book-- not a pad, and is thin enough to fit in my Hobonichi case. I looked at two different stores today and didn't see anything good. I checked out the Hobonichi website and BAM, there it is.

The price seems reasonable too. And it'll give me a reason to use that back pocket of the case.

wow those look awesome, I'm totally going to order one with next years hobonichi.

does the earthbound cover sell out super quick? I might order one but not if it means waiting for a midnight release and spamming refresh on the store

Generally how hard are these to find in person (in Japan) between Christmas and New Year's?

Gah, how did the year go by so quickly? I'm not ready, but I know I'm gonna need another next year... and a new cover too! That purple one from the preview page seemed like a fun pattern, but I'm not keen on the zipper covers.

8 more days until we see every planner for the year!

Now that school has started back up, I have mine on me 24/7, along with some inserted pages for to-do notes and general, non-journal related info.

Debating whether or not to get a cousin this time around, looks like I need to make a decision and quick.

Lol I failed to order one last year and just decided to wait it out. Wonder what covers they will have this year. I'd love to net me one of those Luther Harris Tweed covers.

Did I never comment on this? The little memo books are superb! Same great paper as the planner. I got both sizes an will grab more with my next order.

I can't believe it's ordering time again already! I might actually go from Cousin to original size this year. I really want to try it out. I have other notebooks for longer journal entries - I want a place for shorter day-to-day stuff.

Exciting times!
 
Can't wait to walk into Loft in two weeks to get me next years one. I'm not sure if I should update my cover tho. I'm pretty happy with the one I have right now.

If you want the Onett one you better buy it now, because the 2015 shop is about to get shut down in couple days, and you wont be able to buy any of the 2015 covers. You can hold an order for 60 days, but i'm not sure how it works. I think you can then transfer it over to the next shop.

Aaaaaa, now I am kind of really bummed that the A6 size is so tiny (I drew it out on a sheet of paper). I have a similar-sized mokeskine I don't use because it's too small.
Even my smallest "travel sized sketchbooks" are preferably A5 sized and there's no Earthbound covers for the cousin techo. I'm just going to grieve. lol

any of you guys ordering from EU? whats the best way to avoid customs charges. (the uk partners I saw just basically had the customs charge+handlingfee added)

Don't think I got hit with a customs charge. Then again, I only ordered a cover. Will see how it goes when I order a planner and new cover in September.

The Cousin is so good, tho! And who knows - they may launch some cool Cousin covers!

I want something plan and professional for my 2016 Techo, but those Mother cases! Holy crap!

Okay - question. Should I make a 2016 thread? I feel like we could use a fresh thread for a new year. If people think this is a good idea, can you either post here or PM me a few thoughts on what you did with the 2015 edition? I gather many of us got completely hooked and made this part of our daily lives. If I make a new thread, I'd love to include a few testimonials!

I'm also thinking of a new fountain pen + paper thread with updated info. Is there interest there?

When does the 2016 go on sale? I'm still using mine daily. Missed a few days here and there from leaving it at home when I had to travel but it's pretty full so far. I think a new thread would be great!

Daily notes / pasting news paper articles that I find important (have a few about the bombing in Thailand recently) / doodles if I think I can do something better than a stick figure. Basically I use it for things I find important.

Sales start on September 1st, they're currently giving us an early preview of what will be available before the store switches over.

Totally ordering one for 2016. I'm tempted to get the Onett cover, but that Mother 2 cast one looks incredible and I don't think I'll need 2 covers.

If you want the Onett cover (unless you mean the Saturn Valley cover?) then you need to buy it RIGHT NOW because in the next couple days they are pulling all the 2015 covers from the store in readiness for the 2016 launch. From Facebook:

MPORTANT: 2015 Hobonichi Web Shop closing August 25th!
We're getting closer to the grand opening of our 2016 online store! In order to prepare for the release of our 2016 edition Hobonichi Planner and the full lineup of all-new covers, the current Hobonichi Store will be CLOSING for good on August 26th, 11 AM Japan time (GMT: 2 AM // PDT: August 25th 7 PM).
If you would like a 2015-edition planner or cover, now's your very last chance!! Covers and books are always limited to the year they are released. Once the store is closed, these products will no longer be for sale.
If you'd like to order a 2015-edition product and wait to ship it until the 2016 products are released, you can put your shipment on hold for up to 60 days from the original purchase, add the new products when they're available, and then ship everything together. More information on Shipment Holds: https://www.1101.com/store/syukkahoryu_english/index.html

Does Hobonichi offer just a square-lined notebook with its paper?

I've bought my wife Hobonichi planners for the last two years, and she absolutely loves them. I'm planning on getting her another on 9/1, maybe even a new cover.

I work from home, so the planner portion isn't so important to me. However, I need a notebook next to me all day, and I love everything about the Hobonichi form factor.

Short of buying one and ignoring the dates, is there a way of getting several hundred of the square pages on that paper bound together?
 
I loved my little Techo for the first half of the year. I wrote in it every day and kept track of various things, but then my Father-in-Law died and I didn't write in it for like a month. I keep trying to get back into the swing of it, but I'll write for a few days and then leave it alone for like a week.

Maybe ordering the 2016 book and a new cover is what I need... >_>

I also was never quite happy with the pen I chose. It never really felt smooth enough... :|

Yes, please. I'm thinking about buying the 2016 edition as my first one.

New thread would help reinvigorate the interest I think. I missed the boat last year.

I'd love to see a new thread with people's impressions of their 2015 after a year of using them. I might end up getting one for this next year.

The cousin also isn't translated for bakagaijin like me though! :(((((
We'll see if I scrape together 50 bucks for it anyway. >_>

Where is new thread. lol

The new store is up for viewing. You can't buy anything yet, but you can browse the wares and salivate. Do things sell out on launch day?
