Prepare for a shock...


She is getting married & she ends her career.


Of course, I'm just kidding.

The other option is that it's a Vitamin M-only thing, since October is the mid-year shuffle period when programs change time slots.

:cool: mm, should have done that ages ago? mm but as I read her diary, she had a friend whom was married when they were in high school.

:blush: it's tough decision and responsibility I tell you.

Yes, the "big announcement" was everything that was announced on the web site (essay collection, album, tour) a day before the radio show, and nothing beyond that.

Maaya interview at Yorimo:

EDIT:
Confirmed: No cover album ^^;;; a shame as I'm really enjoying JUJU's cover album at the moment and I really like 'Yasashisa ni tsutsumareta nara'...although apparently the last song on the CD is one of her father's favourites and was one of the songs they would sing in the bath ^^;;

Got my copy of the single earlier today. Full version of Yasashisa ni tsutsumareta nara is absolutely lovely. I like Kanashikute Yarikirenai a lot too. Between those two covers, hard to choose which is my favorite. ;)

First day oricon chart ranking 7! It's dropped to no.8 today though:

Not bad for a cover single...I suppose it has two tie-ins but still!

the 1st time i heard all 3 songs i liked no3 the most. they all sound so different.
its really nice for a single cd. 3 songs and 3 instrumentals + pv :)
i like the jazz-style of track1. track2 it feels like a nice breeze at some open field :)
track3 also jazz-style and i like the slow ones like jason (or whoever said it) most too.

none of those 3 tracks will make it in my all time faves tho.
