Haven't find much discusson on her, so here it begins!

Amano Tsukiko is going to celebrate her 5th anniversary as a singer by releasing 5 singles in one day, May 31st! As funny as it may look, and being posted by Tsukko herself on April's Fool day, the news are true! You can pre-order your own stack of Tsukko at CDJapan and Tower.JP, so it's true true true. Yay. Hopefully the songs aren't coughmediocrecough like Koda Kumi's 12 >_>

Note: 2nd cover for Utakata is actually her first indie single 箱庭 (Hakoniwa=Miniature Garden), released 2001.06.01, I put it there to compare

And yeah, I know Fuusen resembles Otsuka Ai's Neko ni Fuusen

「烏」(カラス) c/w 「硝子」 (Karasu=Crow c/w Karasu=Glass) PCCA-70161

「梟」(フクロウ) c/w 「国道」 (Fukurou=Owl c/w Kokudou=National Highway) PCCA-70162

「ウタカタ」 c/w 「ウララカ」 (Utakata=Ephemeral c/w Uraraka=Bright) PCCA-70163

「風船」 c/w 「光線」 (Fuusen=Baloon c/w Kousen=Beam) PCCA-70164

「混沌-chaos-」 c/w 「カボス」 (Konton=Chaos (doh!) c/w Kabosu=?) PCCA-70165

If you have no idea about who Tsukko is, try out her PS2 series "Fatal Frame" theme songs Chou & Koe (it shouldn't be too hard to find, but I guess I'll upload them later anyway

Wah! Thanks a lot for this news! I've loved Amano Tsukiko's music ever since I heard Chou. May 31st, I can't wait!

I've been a fan since I've seen "Ningyou" maxi single cover at CDJapan's new releases page, so yeah, I've been a fan since late 2002! I win

But seriously, this is just plain stupid, how many copies of each of these singles does Tsukko and her label plan to sell? Less than 100 of each? She isn't Koda Kumi even with all the Project Zero fans

How did she pan out?? The covers look stunning, I have seen her before too.

These threads are awesome aedon. packed with info!!!

yurinachan · « **Reply #4 on:** April 20, 2006, 05:39:32 PM »

I hope that its 5 good singles in a day. At least the record company (I think its Pony Canyon) outdid avex's kumi koda 12 singles in 12 weeks releases.

aedon · « **Reply #5 on:** May 09, 2006, 03:13:15 PM »

Samples are out! Not officially as they're not listed on PonyCanyon's pages yet, but I digged the links

Karasu
Fukurou
Utakata
Fuusen
Konton

I really like "Fukurou" & "Fuusen" <3 That's weird because I usually prefer rockish songs from Tsukko *^_^*

aedon · « **Reply #6 on:** May 27, 2006, 11:03:36 PM »

Looks like the PVs for the 5 singles are connected and form a mini-drama/saga... so I can't wait till they release them on DVD

The first *episode* is combined "Karasu/Utakata", and you'll see 3(!) different Tsukikos in the PV.

You can get it @ Jpopsuki. Also, I failed at life and missed Tour of The Dragon live video seeded there, so if anyone dled it, I'd really appreciate if you'd re-seed/re-upload it anywhere

aedon · « **Reply #7 on:** June 05, 2006, 09:29:19 PM »

5 singles (10 songs total, 320kbps) @ Jpopsuki:

I like maybe 3 songs A LOT, the others are just ok to me :/

Fujisyuusuke · « **Reply #8 on:** June 05, 2006, 10:21:51 PM »

5 singles in 1 day? That´s great man. Even though i´m a fan of her, i can´t keep up to all the news:-P

Thanks alot for the info!

Masabi · « **Reply #9 on:** June 06, 2006, 05:05:44 PM »

Thank you for the bigger scans~ Can't wait~ ^^

aedon · « **Reply #10 on:** June 07, 2006, 01:20:11 AM »

My wish was granted and Amano's releasing a new DVD in July! ZOMG I'm so excited. This was confirmed by Oricon & e+ so far.

ゴネンジャー (Gonenjya, gonen=5 years) ~tentative
2006/07/26 | PCBP-51763 | 3,465 yen
Running Time: 35min

Looks like it's gonna be 2nd PV collection DVD. I'm afraid they might exclude "Tsuki" PV

aedon · « **Reply #11 on:** June 07, 2006, 11:01:42 PM »

As expected, 5th anniversary singles didn't make a breakthrough miracle on Oricon Weekly:

2006/06/12
#46 Utakata 2,616
#47 Karasu 2,606
#48 Konton -chaos- 2,580
#49 Fukurou 2,563
#50 Fuusen 2,556
Total: 12,921

Multiply it by 1,050 yen and it makes 13,567,050 yen @_@

They debuted at much higher positions on the first day, of course:

2006/05/30
#23 Utakata
#24 Fuusen
#25 Konton -chaos-
#26 Karasu
#27 Fukurou

However, Amano never was the chart queen, look at her previous achievements:
# peak position (number of weeks in the chart)

Albums:

A MOON CHILD IN THE SKY #46 (5)
Winona Riders ~Tsuki no Uragawa~ #109 (1)
Tenryuu #31 (5)
Meg Lion #48 (3)
Sharon Stones #33 (3)

Singles:
Koe #39 (6)
Hisui #73 (1)
Idea #70 (2)
Tsuki [1st press] #64 (2)
Chou #49 (7)
Love Dealer [indie] #169 (1)
Same #70 (2)
Ningyou #50 (3)
HONEY? n/a
Treasure #99 (1)
Sniper n/a
Bodaiju #66 (1)
B.G. -Black Guitar + Berry Garden- n/a
Hakoniwa n/a

Please don't just copy-paste this, mention me

I had to open a lot of tabs to get this info for your statistics pleasure!

Edit: Added the actual sold copies number.

Tsukiko!!!

My absolute favourite J-rock singer after Shiina Ringo^^ LOL I am so freaking tempted to pre-order Catalogue, but I've got so much stuff already waiting to get shipped to me, I think I might wait until it's a little closer to the release date before I purchase

LOL

Does anyone know if the five singles she released back in May are going to be on this album, too? I had always meant to pick those up but didn't because I assumed she would release them all on an album at some point... Any info on that would be great!

Thanks!

aedon · « **Reply #14 on:** October 16, 2006, 07:00:49 PM »

There's no tracklist for the album and dvd yet. I'm checking all of Tsukko's official sites almost everyday, but nothing is revealed except the titles: the limited edition is called Deluxe Catalogue and the regular is just Catalogue (both titles are spelled in katakana). As for 5th anniversary pvs dvd 5-five-, its title is still listed as tentative.

However, CDJapan/Neowing reports Deluxe Catalogue dvd will include pvs for Idea, Hisui, Koe and Love Dealer (since when Love Dealer has a pv? and what about Tsuki? .V.) & 5th anniversary pvs' making of's; and that the cd will include a new remix of Love Dealer. No confirmation on that info though.

I believe there'll also be some campaign for people who buy both the best album and the dvd, but most likely it'll be for Japan residents only so I probably won't get anything

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #15 on:** October 20, 2006, 05:28:10 PM »

Deluxe http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=PCCA-2357
Standard http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=PCCA-2358
Covers of Catalogue Standard and Deluxe Limited Editions are up!^^

Still no track listing, though.... *continues to wonder if 5 anniversary singles will be on it!

*

aedon · « **Reply #16 on:** October 20, 2006, 07:03:49 PM »

Deluxe Catalogue

Catalogue

5-five-

These covers are a bit of turn off, since I like the normal edition cover a lot more, wtf are those pink blocks at limited?! But it's Tsukko, I can't help it

No tracklists yet, but I'm pretty sure the 5 singles will end up on Catalogue, just not sure on both editions or it'll be the special edition only

Actually, I have no idea what they'll put on the 2nd cd of Deluxe, b-sides? her favorite album tracks? mystery, mystery~

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #17 on:** October 23, 2006, 03:52:06 PM »

^ Thanks for posting better cover pics, aedon!^^ I agree, they're not much to look at after the anniversary covers... Tsukiko was rocking out like a cover girl on those!^^ LOL Still can't wait for Catalogue to be released, though! I think I might just get the Deluxe version, though, since the cover to the Standard version is a little less... attractive

Not that that's saying much... LOL

aedon · « **Reply #18 on:** October 23, 2006, 04:17:19 PM »

^ Hm? I actually prefer the standard edition cover

Overall, I think the covers are growing on me with all the Alice in Wonderland Queen vibe ^_^;

The thing for those who'll buy both Deluxe Catalog and 5-five- ended up being a ticket to an event AND it's only given out at some store (Yamagiwa Soft, or smth), only to 555 people and only on November 14th :/ What's the point of all that for us overseas fans T_T

Oh well. Still no tracklist.

wakaba_doll · « **Reply #19 on:** October 23, 2006, 04:19:20 PM »

^ My point exactly, aedon!

LOL I'd much rather get a Tsukiko mini-PB or something^^
