So, mark january 19th 2011 as the day Huh

・最近のPV
新曲「DOWN TOWN」のPVが早くも先日TBSアニメフェスタにて公開されました。今までになく、なんつーか、ぶりっ子してると思います。いやあ、気恥ずかしいっす。でも今回は元気な男の子たちと共演させていただいたので、楽しく賑やかに撮影が行われ皆さんのおかげで今までになく笑顔の多いPVになりました。
From Maaya's new status update on her official homepage. Apparently the PV of DOWN TOWN was previewed at TBS Anime Festa the other day. Burikko?!?? I must see this PV 0_0
Also, from luminaire at Jpopmusic:
And news regarding the three songs from Neowing:
- "DOWN TOWN" has been arranged big-band style, with a 35-piece backing band.
- "yasashisa ni tsutsumareta nara" has been changed into an upbeat, summer-style tune. (A bit late, but heh.)
- "kanashikute yarikirenai" is the simplest of the three, done to a piano jazz trio
Confirms the big band style!

Well, it's still Maaya singing but..... *a bit afraid of what they could have done of this classic*

I think it'll be good. I love DEPAPEPE (if you don't know them they're a brilliant acoustic guitar duo) and if they keep to an acoustic guitar arrangement I think it'll suit the song, along with Maaya's vocals.
I'll be interested in hearing DOWNTOWN; I'm so pleased that Maaya continues to work with Kitagawa, although all his arrangements do sound very similar I count some of his Round Table work as some of the best anime themes of the past decade or so (particularly Puzzle and Sunny Side Hill). After the rather disappointing collaborators Maaya worked with on Yuunagi Loop and 30 minutes I think she's working with much better artists these days.

Looking at the press releases so far it looks like Maaya chose the songs she wanted herself.

"Old lady"? I guess that's 2ch for you... My vote goes to "refined" or "elegant".
