Really enjoy both songs so far! It's shaping up to be a great single. Type A probably for me

Btw, I think the release date is now the 18th not the 11th as listed in the thread title.

Quote

”Kazanbai” by Kashiwagi Yuki

悲しいことに出会うたびに思い出すの
Whenever I have a sad moment, I remind of,
ふるさとの青い空と母の微笑み
blue sky in my home town and tender smile of my mother.
こっそり受けたオーディションに合格して
I passed the audition that I applied covertly,
東京へ行きたいってあの日夢を話した
That day, I confessed my dream that I wanted to go to Tokyo.

真っ暗な部屋へ一人帰り
I come back my gloomy room all alone,
冷蔵庫のドア開けながら
As I opened the refrigerator's door,
駄目な自分嫌になって何度泣いたかな
How many times I cried, because I was fed up with myself.
がんばらなきゃ私が好きで選んだ未来
I gotta hold on, this is the path I've chosen because I like it.

家族のみんなや友達に心配かけて
My home town where I made members of my family and my friends worried,
自分勝手な願いを許してくれた街と
But allowed me to have this selfish wish,
約束したんだ降り積もる思いは火山灰
I promised (with my home town). Piling up emotions are volcanic ashes.

I didn't think much of the song when I first heard it but after reading the translation, I can feel Yukirin putting all her heart into singing this song. It seems to reflect her feelings when she left her hometown to pursue her dream of becoming an idol.

I like this new single, I don't no if the costume is a part of it, maybe^^°
I think the costume look like the 80's Idols...for example Wink, or like in the anime ハミングバード

NINKI ratings...excerpt

Quote

Singles:

01 171.40 NEWS - Chankapana
02 150.80 French Kiss - Romance Privacy
03 60.20 Ikimonogakari - Kaze ga Fuite Iru
04 42.80 IU - You & I (Japanese Version)
05 38.60 Kalafina - moonfesta
06 31.10 Hanazawa Kana - Hatsukoi Note
07 30.40 baroque - Mellow Hollow
08 20.50 GRANRODEO - RIMFIRE
09 15.30 back number - Watagashi
10 15.20 PES - Seaside Lovers / Mayonaka no Rainbow

Note 1:

The NINKI ratings are the results of a POLL conducted by Oricon indicating degree of interest/degree of purchase intention in an upcoming release. Although the ratings are never a true reflection of sales, it does give a strong prediction about where the single/album will place in terms of popularity amongst the Japanese public. However, they are NOT an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week.

Note 2:

According to Oricon's note under the NINKI page, Oricon researches about 870,000 of its members by random sampling of 400 members in their 10s until 40s. 50 men and 50 women are chosen randomly to participate in each age group. (However, some popular artists have had NINKI exceeding 500, so we can only assume that Oricon has extended the polling to around 600/700 people now.)

I'm dissapointed about their sales falling so much from the last single (and the one before), but oh well, there's a lot of AKB-related releases at the moment...
