SYLPH 2012/03

Just announced in the latest issue of SYLPH was the release of the next DGS Hibiki tankoubon volumes! Vol.3 will be relesed on March 22nd, and vol.4 on April 21st. Both will retail for 630 yen. There will also be a big announcement included with the comics.

The next issue of SYLPH will include a bonus booklet featuring DGS Hibiki illustrations by Iwasaki sensei, as well as her comments on drawing the illustrations. This month’s issue was supposed to include the concluding chapter of the DGS Hibiki manga but they were not able to fit the entire chapter in one issue so next month’s issue will be the real end.

OnoD will be releasing a new single on November 30! There is no official announcement for it yet on the Lantis website, but a product page has been added to Amazon Japan. According to the page, it will be two discs and retail for 1800 yen. The second disc will be a PV DVD.

I guess we can expect the new song to be sung at OrePara in December!

Speaking of OrePara, OnoD and the other OrePara members will hold a live radio broadcast on September 21 from 22:00-23:00 on Chou! A&G. Full details are here.

EDIT 11/9: The new single will be titled DELIGHT with c/w songs Right On Funky Night and Shitta Junai 1, chu, 3!!. Shitta Junai 1, chu, 3!! will feature guest vocals by Chihara Minori. The CD info can be found on Lantis’ website here. Yesterday’s Lantis no! AniSon Tuesday!! on Bandai Namco Live TV showed part of the PV for DELIGHT. OnoD’s outdone himself again. X3 Looking forward to the release and OrePara!

CharaHobby 2011 and KAmiYU in Wonderland 2 in Osaka both took place this weekend.

The annual DGS public recording was at CharaHobby on Saturday. I’ll try to have a report up soon but in the mean time, the big announcement was that the show will have a new opening and ending song in October and a new single, Smiley Time, will be released November 2nd!

At KAmiYU in Wonderland 2 in Osaka on Sunday, it was announced that Kamiya would be releasing his first full album on December 14th! The album will include 10 songs, including For myself and Nijiiro Chouchou. The limited edition will include a DVD and retail for 3990 yen. The regular edition will be 2940 yen. The announcement can be found on the Kiramune website.

Also, if my ears did not fool me, I’m sure I heard OnoD narrating the promotion video for Gundam AGE at today’s Gundam.info stage at CharaHobby, and also as the character Wolf Eniacl! There still has not been an official cast announcement but rumor has it that Kamiya will be in the series.

This month’s issue of SYLPH does not include a chapter of DGS Hibiki but they announced the goods that will be on sale at the DGS event in April, as well as upcoming DGS Hibiki furoku that will be included with the magazine.

First up, the furoku!
As mentioned on last week’s DGS, upcoming issues of SYLPH will include straps as bonuses. July’s issue (to be released 5/21) will include a rubber strap of HiroC, OnoD, and Nyaa san. The August issue (to be released 6/22) will include a figure strap of HiroC, and the September issue (to be released 7/22) will include a figure strap of OnoD. The figure straps are similar to those included in previous issues. Aren’t they adorable? =)

Next, as with every DGS public recording, the 4 Lovers Only event in April will feature new tshirts! Each will retail for 2500 yen. Kamiya’s tshirt design reads “Experience Heart Strength & horse?” in reference to this year’s birthday episode where he started writing “経験 (keiken/experience) and it somehow turned into “馬 (uma/horse).” OnoD’s tshirt is “We <3 DG,” following up on his “I <3 DG” design, and Suwa san’s tshirt is “Do Glasses Sadistics.”

As for DGS Hibiki goods, they’ll be selling the following:

• HiroC/OnoD netsuke straps – 500 yen each
• Goods Set 4 Lovers Only – 3500 yen
  Includes a tumbler mug, 2 earl grey tea bags, a ticket and photo album, and a set of HiroC/OnoD teru teru bouzu straps inside a large shopper bag
• Neko Masshigura Hibiki Can Premium – 800 yen
  Milk and melonu-flavored caramel candies inside a cat food-like can
• Long Poster (2-poster set) – 500 yen

The event is just over a month away. So exciting!

Lastly, I mentioned it on Hibiki’s Twitter account, but the release of the DGS album, Stories, has been delayed until April 6th due to the large earthquake on March 11th.
