[quote="Merri"]If she jumps up another three positions, doesn't that mean she'll be out of the ranking? Being that awesome and all.[/quote]

I do tend to overuse the word 'awesome', haha ... .___.;

RE: the whole CD vs. DL thing, I haven't ever had diminished enjoyment from a purchased album as a result. I've listened to a lot of albums in digital format first and then purchased the album later and still enjoyed listening to it then and flipping through the booklet. I purchase the CDs even if I...

I copied down and Romanised 'Kotomichi'. I hope it's O.K. that I translated it. frecklegirl is doing 'Triangler' so I thought I could take this one up. I hope it's all right. ことみち 作詞：坂本真綾 作曲・編曲：高田みち子 きみの好きなところなら いくつだって挙げられるんだよ いっそ もうきらいになったって 言えたらいいのに 燃え尽きて残ったかけらを拾い上げ 大切にポケットにしまった 悲しくて 涙も出ないふたり まるで愛...

[quote="dillpops"]Because it won't be worth it. If I have the CD on my computer already it completely negates my reason for buying it - to rip it. Then I have no reason to buy it. It's not guilty. It's principle. I'm not going to waste my money on something I already got for free. Thus, I wait for m...

[quote="dillpops"]I ignore the download >_< must. ignore. Soon my single will come haha[/quote] I don't really get why people wait to receive the physical CD. I mean, I understand if you feel guilt or something like that because you haven't purchased it, but I purchased it, it's already been charged...

A scan of the lyrics is out. I wrote down the lyrics and Romanised them. I'll do a translation if no one else does it, but I think frecklegirl will take this one up. :) Kanji 君は誰とキスをする わたし それともあの娘(こ） 君は誰とキスをする 星を巡るよ 純情 弱虫泣き虫連れて まだ行くんだと思う　わたし 愛するより求めるより 疑うほうがずっとたやすい自分が悔しい 痛いよ 味方だけど愛してないとか 守るけど側にいれない...

No worries, and thanks for the work you put into this place.

Single up for download at KMC (and lots of other places, I'm sure). There are scans, too, so I now know what the lyrics are (and I was mostly right, yay XD). Oh, and 'Kotomichi'? Is GORGEOUS!

[quote="mike_s_6"]I think it's rightfully young though, given the characters in the story. The singer of the leading girl (Ranka) also forces a higher pitch in speaking and singing because the character she portrays is young. I would assume that it's a compliment for Maaya to be asked to sing this s...

I just wanted to mention that it's not only English fans who feel that 'Triangler' could have been done by AKINO. There's a review on amazon.co.jp from a Japanese fan who feels that it's more AKINO than Maaya, and that the song doesn't make use of Maaya's 'persuasive word power' and 'voice that has ...

Your initial post was somewhat strong, that's all. I think if we tempered all fan conversations on the concern that someone may come across it and mistake it as fact, we wouldn't have the majority of discussions on fan forums currently. 90% (if not more) of online fan conversations are speculation. ...

If someone is silly enough to do that, what can I do? It's a hazard of the Internet. I think it's up to the individual to verify whatever information they come across online (or anywhere ), since there's no grand Internet editor watching over everything. Misinformation is a sad fact of the world. Th...

Well, I (and other Maaya fans also, apparently, judging by postings here and on various sites) are really eager for Maaya releases and lack patience. I don't see how trying to hash out the lyrics before the single is released causes any harm. It's just fun/interesting.

[quote="mike_s_6"]The AKINO we're hearing from Aquarion recorded those songs at an age of 14, so I'm giving her a lot of slack. She's got a lot of years to come to develop more emotion in her voice. AKINO's high notes are a sore point, it's hard to listen to repetitively as it can be jarring with th...

and, for the first time in a while, Kanno Youko youko?? hmm... youko is somewhat related to devil of halfbreed if i'm not mistaken.. :? or not.. 'Youko' is a more exact (for lack of a better term) way of rendering her name in the Roman alphabet. Her name isn't spelt 'Yoko', with only two syllabic h...
