Yeah, It's a very simple marketing survey. But for the lazy folks, here's a direct link to the wallpaper page.

Well yeah, she's always been in the big leagues--in the anime/otaku world. That's nothing new; she's been a big player among the Akihabara crew for years now.
Are there any liner notes for the songs on this album, like there have been for previous albums?

Ooh, they are! Last I checked those buttons weren't up so I'm glad they're there. Still wish I could find liner notes for her earlier albums!

Oh wow! I didn't know those mini sites stayed up this long!! Gah, I wish this was normal text and not Flash, I can't transcribe the entire thing cause there's some kanji I don't know (hence why I never translated it, but now I'd like to try). dillpops are you able to read all of the kanji and transcribe it into text? Hmm, or, I bet some fan has typed it up online... when I get home I will try searching for it...
Edit: Found the first paragraph online, but nothing else. dilly, do you think you would be able to transcribe the rest (by which I mean, just type it up in Japanese as text), or should I ask a Japanese friend?

Hey, I don't know if it is going to interest you but there was a translation of this "30minutes night flight concept" at wiki.theppn (I don't know who translated >.<)
One night, a girl who just couldn’t fall asleep, despite having turned from side to side a hundred times and heaved a hundred sighs, couldn’t take it any longer and, standing up, opened the window with a creak.
Even though the view from beyond the window would soon turn bright in due time, staring out into the pitch darkness of the night, she couldn’t bring herself to believe that the daybreak would be coming soon.
“If at this rate, the morning doesn’t come…”
And, at that moment, a small, silver toy plane passed by before her eyes. Surprised, she tried to follow it with her eyes, and the next thing she knew, the girl found herself seated in that airplane.
Even without her inputting in any commands, the plane flew ahead smoothly. While passing by numerous streets and countries, and all the boundaries plotted above this planet, she caught a glimpse of the ways in which many people lived from the skies. People living in the world, who were utterly unrelated to her. But, the truth was, everyone resembled her in some way or another – fretting over the same issues, laughing over the same things. And the girl was embarrassed, for having thought, just a few moments ago, that she was the only one in the world who was especially lonely, and who was so sad she couldn’t sleep.
When she noticed it, the plane had already reached outer space. From the planet called Earth, the shining eyes of each and every life living on it reached straight up and outwards just like searchlights, and shone into the dimensions of space. The countless pale searchlights gathered together, and the huge Earth was glimmering. And the girl slowly closed her eyes, feeling calm amidst the embrace of that light.
And when she next opened her eyes, she was in her own bed, in her own room. When she opened the window with a creak, the view beyond the window had already started turning brighter. And the girl thought, “Ah, soon tomorrow shall become today”. When she took in a deep breath, she thought she heard the faint sound of propellers in the distance, moving away from her.
To all those who have experienced nights of sleeplessness. A 30 minutes night flight.

Huh? Are you talking about the very start of the song? I just checked my own ripped mp3s and I don't hear anyone's voice but Maaya's. I don't have the cd with me since I'm at work right now, but I'll check it when I get home.
<EDIT>
Okay, I hear the guy now after jacking up the volume on my computer really high (his voice is really faint). Wow, I guess Victor Ent / flying dog missed that during production. XD
Nice find dilly!

_guh, thank you, I can probably figure out the kanji from this translation now. (I'm still going to translate it myself cause that's part of the fun, but this will help!)
