Thanks for those videos.

Sounded like the person introducing her was Irish? She looked very cute after she did her Kung Fu act. She can certainly give a good performance of Sorairo Days as she has shown a few times before, but I still don't understand why it's her most popular song, I think she's sang better ones.

She made Wired as one of the top-bloggers:

The third track is a cover of the great Yamashita Kumiko song from 1982, will be hard to better it as the original is so good.

You're welcome. The mc was some asian dude. Definitely not irish nor an irish accent.

I like the new single more than the last, and the video brings back the humour that was missing from recent PVs, I like that.

I like the new pv, but the song is so-so.

I can't wait to see her new concert tour dvd! If there's a preview video somewhere, let me know.

starry01482 · « **Reply #1272 on:** August 01, 2008, 10:50:54 PM »

I think the song is ok, it's not great but it's listenable and I believe better than Calling Location as there's more of a melody. The chorus is a little smoothed over so that's why I don't think it's as good as some of the other uptempo pop she has sung (such as the better anime songs she's done or Brilliant Dream). But I'm happy it's something a bit more pop rather than an anime 'rock' song.

Shiny Gate has entered the charts at no5 on the daily rankings.

awesome single

did anyone watch 「しょこたん☆シャイ毛まつり in SMOJ」 a few hours ago on the Sony Music website?
i submitted a fan mail and i think she read it on air ><
i submitted it in English though but she was screaming my name and something about America during the live program
i need to watch it again to make sure ><

Timewizard21 · « **Reply #1275 on:** August 06, 2008, 08:18:53 PM »

No, I didn't know about it.

I think her song is possibly the best in the top 10. She's up against various songs, from a child singer, a rock band, various pop bands and a serious ballad. The Arashi song maybe my second favourite, but the chorus I think lets that song down.

Sorry I should have posted it here ><. She's been doing a live program on the Sony Music records website since Briliant Dream to promote the single or album. I think the only time she didn't do it was for the 1st Anisong album unless I completely missed out on that one ><. They'll probably put it up again for streaming reruns sometime in the future. There's some pictures of it on her blog though it's nothing special. There were some funny parts but it's mostly just talking and reading fan mail. Hopefully it's up again somewhere because I really want to watch it again ><.

This is another performance of Shiny Gate, but I like this even more. Great performance and nice camerawork.
