Know I know they had promotion like this before (I remember seeing 'Monster' ads rolling by on buses...), but it's still pretty cool size-wise ^^

Wow. Wow, woooooooow. :shock: I just watched this song on Music Station about 10 times in a row. I was hoping it would climb up to #1 after they appeared on music shows but now I'm sure there is a real chance.

That right there was too good! That's all I can say! :shock:

Definitely an impressive performance on Music Station. I love the trio of triplet background singers for the song. ^^

Officially ranked #4 in it's first week :)
(That makes it their 23rd top 5 single ^^)

Wonderful! It is great to see another top 5 single for DCT. How about their appearance on Songs? That was too good! Everything, including the interview bits were terrific. I have seen great people on the show before but they didn't come even close to DCT!

I have said it before but mark my words, Wonderland 2007 will be epic! It's going to get us by surprise, I tell you guys.

So there is a new version of Mirai Yosouzu II. They are working on one new song (as far as I know)... isn't it about time for an album? Could it be they are working in another single?!

Very interesting! The video for "Kimi" is the #1 best selling music video on iTunes Japan right now :)

Awesome! ^^ I can totally see why, it is a great video!

I received my order from CD Japan yesterday. Finally I got to watch the DVD that comes with Kimi ni Shika Kikoenai. I had no idea both Joe (Masa's character) and Linda (Miwa's) had american accents. I laughed my head off! It was too funny! Besides the skit with Masa, there is a chorus lesson for Love x3/Nando Demo. Quite cool stuff. It is about 40 minutes long.

I also got a copy of Osaka Lover but I didn't have time to get it off the shrink wrap judy yet. :!:

My wife and I finally were able to watch the DVD, which we purchased quite awhile ago. It is a very sweet and sad story with an uplifting ending. The film is based on two novels by Otsu Ichi (who is a rather prolific, but not particularly distinguished, author ['Kimi ni shika kikoenai' appears to have been written for preteens]), but to me immediately brought 'Aishiteru to itte kure' (the TV drama) and Banana Yoshimoto's short story 'Moonlight Shadow' to mind. I thought it was well done, with good performances and of course very appropriate music.
