^ Oh, wow, Leah is performing on there, too??

That's so awesome! :yay:

I actually like Dragonfly^^ I don't think it's Shimatani-hime's best song by any means, but it's pretty cool

Futari de ii janai debuted at #25 on Oricon Weekly, selling 5594 copies. The song wasn't all that great, so Top 30 is a good result

2/6オンエアのレギュラー番組文化放送「Keep Up Spirits」、及び2/7にオフィシャルサイトにUPしますのでチェックして下さい!

She will release a new album, untitled yet. 02/21 OUT. Will include the song Rambilm' that is attached to this NTV show. The quote just says the details will be on her show Keep Up Spirits and on her site in five days. Note she takes out single DragonFly on the same day.

Wow, so her new album is the same day as Dragonfly?

Does that mean Dragonfly will or won't be on it then?

aedon · « **Reply #125 on:** February 02, 2007, 07:18:18 PM »

The album was sheduled on 3/7 earlier and CDJapan hasn't updated their pre-order page yet:
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-23176
(As you can see they claim the dvd has 50 minutes of footage, _including_ Dragonfly album ver. pv, YUM!!)
Nor did Tower Records JP, so I'll wait for official site update, I guess.

...and I was paranoid they'd push it back till like April

^ ZOMG, those covers are absolutely *GORGEOUS*!!

This is releasing in March, right?

Btw, I absolutely *HATE* when they only put a bonus track on the CD only version

It's so damn unfair! LOL

aedon · « **Reply #132 on:** February 07, 2007, 06:50:12 PM »

Yeah, March 7th. How could I forget to add the release date lol

I'm quite pleased with the dvd content after all, even if they've included Harumachibito & Camellia PVs that I already have, but all the other PVs are in (even Koimizu which I thought will be single exclusive, to be honest), so I can't wait for my copy

I guess I'd be bitter if I bought her cd+dvd singles...

And yes, wakaba, I agree that it's a low blow to make fans buy both editions if they want bonus track and cd extra D: I also like the CD only cover a bit better, so bah, avex
I hope this album won't be unnoticed like Heart & Symphony...

SuperDave · « **Reply #133 on:** February 12, 2007, 11:24:38 PM »

I love Shimatani, she looks good in anything. Such a cute voice mmmmmm. I dont know what id do lol. Keep up the pics. Many kudos.

Enayla · « **Reply #134 on:** February 15, 2007, 03:50:45 AM »

Hopefully this time it shall get higher sales, especially since the style isn't only 'crossover', but there are other genres too.

aedon · « **Reply #135 on:** February 17, 2007, 10:16:55 AM »

Another Futari de ii janai perf (probably the last one)~

Enayla · « **Reply #136 on:** February 18, 2007, 11:21:12 PM »

Nope she performed another one at MF21. Hopefully it'll be the last since I'm not fond of the old guy.

What makes me a bit sad, is that both of her best selling singles were covers -_- "Amairo no Kami no Otome" (1966) is an Aoyama Michi song, and "Papillon" is a Japanese version of Janet Jackson's "Doesn't Really Matter".
