Comments:

Tegomasu’s third single since April 2007’s “Kiss ~Kaerimichi no Love Song~”. Ai Ai Gasa is the theme song for the anime, “Neo Angelique Abyss”. It’s a pretty nice song; somewhat mellow-ish. I have the preview here somewhere, but I’d rather share the whole thing, when I find it, that is! *toink* Oh, and I put this under the “NEWS” (not “News”) category, since Tegoshi Yuya and Masuda Takahisa are part of NEWS, just like how I still put Uchi in both NEWS and Kanjani8, even though he isn’t officially in any of them yet. But anyway, Uchi will always be in Eito for me (and a million more fans), that’s why:

This new T&T single will have two PV’s! One is based on the love theme, hence “Koi” (Love), while the other, on song, hence “Uta” (Song), and the music and lyrics are also included! Exciting! Not only will it be an awesome love ballad to listen to, but you can play and sing to it as well~! ♥

New Header 004 May – June

New header, and this time, it’s a week late. I’ve been computer-less for about a week, so I wasn’t able to post loads of updates, which I should be doing now. Anyway, it’s break time from singer-banners, so this time, May-June header features ♥ Narimiya Hiroki ♥. I feel in love with him when I watched him in 2002’s Kisarazu Cat’s Eye as Sasaki Jun, the brother of Sasaki Kizashi or Ani, played by Tsukamoto Takashi. Well, I didn’t fall for him right away when I watched him in NANA (2005) (yes, I watched it before Kisarazu), but he was adorable in Kisarazu Cat’s Eye (because he looked really young there). Blah, enough about that. From now on, I will be putting my logo on all my graphics. My logo is a little turtle with “Yabi” written on it’s shell. If you see it, you’ll know I made it. :D Lol. Anyway, better start updating!

Chance to Change is the theme song for the musical, “Play Zone” in which Uchi and Kusano participated in, last August 2007, I think. Anyway, I’ve seen in YesAsia and CD Japan that Ore Tachi no Seishun has Takaki Yuya’s name next to it. Could it be his solo? I don’t know.
