[quote="Jérôme."]I'm almost sure this red telecaster was bought for the show and is not the one she's used to play with.[/quote] If memory serves, she mentioned on a Vitamin M a long time ago that her first guitar was an acoustic that her father used to play.

OK, I finally watched the full PV (I was a good little fan and waited until the DVD came in the mail today), and I want to go on the record as predicting that by the time Maaya turns 31, she'll announce that she's getting married. Something about the wedding-ish scenery in the video and the lyrics o...

[quote="Jérôme."]When you see you just have to write "Maaya Sakamoto" on something to have non stop queue of people buying this stuff during 7 hours, if you have an opportunity like this, you don't mess it :) [/quote] Precisely. There's a collective pile of cash in fans' wallets just waiting to be s...

First I.D. (OK, technically "the id", but I like the old name) entry of the year is up and translated. Of course it's about the concert. Good reading for both those who went and those who couldn't. http://sakamotomaaya.com/143/the-id-66 Still working through 2008/2009, only five more entries to go...

[quote="kyoy"]Is IDS! the only way to get that pamphlet?[/quote]

Most likely it is. I think even Maaya's essay book has been available only over the internet, though I could be wrong.

[quote="jason"]Do they ship internationally though?[/quote]

No -- I'm using Tenso.com to forward my IDS! orders. A bit pricey, but it gets here fast.

Single Collection+ Hotchpotch [link removed], as requested. Sorry for the delay -- I've been distracted by other projects recently.

[quote="jason"]Okay, who do I need to kill to get one of those? :evil:[/quote]

The pamphlet is available in the IDS! shop. I'm definitely ordering one.

Were they filming? Please tell me they were filming and we can expect a DVD annoucement soon!

Single Collection Nikopachi [link removed] (Japanese edition, full set @ 150dpi, 11MB)

[quote="Merri"]Don't worry, right now we have tons of snow to get lost into.[/quote]

But I bet the summers are a lot nicer than the scorchers we get around here.

Yay for no Flash and images I can edit! Looks like the special site will be updated over the next few weeks -- the HTML source has commented-out links for liner notes (probably like the "We Are Kazeyomi!" page), some kind of promotion campaign, a blog, a radio feature, and a special section. Also, t...

30minutes night flight [link removed] (Regular edition, full set @ 150dpi, 9MB)

I'll do Nikopachi next week.

Though I love the way Maaya looks in "saigo no kajitsu", I think "30minutes night flight" wins for best photography. Leafing through the booklet really makes me want to visit Finland...

...and here's February (30MB) if you missed a show from this month.

It frustrates me to no end that they refuse to (or the record labels don't allow them to) play music on the internet broadcast. Haven't they realized that putting Maaya's music into more ears might actually increase CD sales?

[quote="sachia"]will you please make scans of Shounen Alice,30Minute Night Flight and Nikopachi for me for me?[/quote] Here's Shounen Alice [link removed]. I went ahead and scanned everything because I wasn't sure what you wanted. I have 30minutes night flight, but I've lost the case -- I can only s...

I can also make scans from my collection. Which CDs are you still looking for?
