Techno-pop idol Aira Mitsuki has finally a first album coming up, following 3 good-selling singles. Included are 9 brand new tracks, but also up to 7 tracks from the 3 previously released singles.
Buyers beware, the album will come in two editions: a "limited" edition containing only the 12 first tracks, and a "regular" edition with 4 bonus tracks (total of 16)... usually it's the other way around. The limited edition is cheaper and has different artwork.
Those who choose the regular edition will own all songs and remixes from the previous 2 singles "Darling Wondering Staring / Star Fruits Surf Rider" and "China Discotica".
Tower Records and HMV both offer a bonus CD with either edition while supplies last. Tower says it's a mega-mix by DJ Yakenohara. No details on HMV's (could be the same or not).

Konishi Yasuharu is producing a brand new soundtrack for a TV comedy drama series, titled "seigi no mikata" (「正義の味方」, translates to something like "justice supporter"). The music features a lot of acoustic instruments recorded in studio, we're told!
The program will start airing from July 9 on NTV, every Wednesday from 22:00.
Audio samples at HMV and Tower Records.

This month will be held the 5th edition of arcorhyme's early afternoon monthly show at Après-midi Grand Cru, the pasta and wine restaurant located below Café Après-midi. There will be two free sets with different songs. Charge is free, so come early and have a pleasant lunch while enjoying Takanami K-tarō and Nishimura Ikuyo's great music.
This time their guest musician is bassist Sally Kubota (Sally Soul Stew, Les 5-4-3-2-1, The Phantom Gift)! A cover of Les 5-4-3-2-1 is to be expected (my own request). :)
