Dear Girl Sandā update

January 17th, 2010

DGS #145 revealed some new information about Dear Girl Sandā, the collaboration between DGS and Yuraku’s Black Thunder snack line.

The flavor will be “Hatsukoi no Aji – Shio Choco” (First-love Flavor – Chocolate Salt). You can start buying them March 8th at convenience stores in the Kantou and Kansai regions, certain Animate stores, Chou! A&G Shop, and through mail order online (box purchases only). They will retail for 30 yen each, the same price as normal Black Thunder. The main catchphrase for the product is “Dear na girl ni dai hit chuu! Oishisa handsome kyuu” (Currently popular with dear girls! Handsome-grade deliciousness). There will be 35 (!) different package designs so some of the catchphrases on the other packages will be different.

Shio choco… Sounds yummy!

SYLPH vol.10

SYLPH vol.10

The cover for SYLPH vol.10 has been publicized! This cover is “Sa-ya ga Kaku Arienai Series Dai 2 Dan (Impossible Series #2 Drawn By Saya).” Looking at it um… Yeah… It’s pretty impossible. Even more so than #1 (the cover with HiroC and OnoD making the heart mark together), in my opinion. There’s no way Kamiya would touch OnoD’s face or let OnoD touch his, LoL. Where does Iwasaki sensei get these ideas from anyway? Haha.

Black Thunder will be making an appearance throughout this new chapter. Try to find them all!

Again, SYLPH vol.10 will be released November 24. Furoku is a Dear Girl ~Stories~ Hibiki drama CD which will include a drama track and voices from the game. Purchase the magazine at Animate or any of the participating SYLPHmate stores and you’ll receive a DGS Hibiki postcard of the cover illustration.

The 2010/1/21 issue of Dengeki Girl’s Style will include a Dear Girl ~Stories~ Hibiki Christmas pin-up poster. It will be an original illustration by Iwasaki sensei. The magazine will be released December 10.

On the Theater page of the Durarara!! website, you can watch the Perfect Guide which includes interviews with the cast. Both Kamiya and OnoD make an appearance. OnoD’s comment at the end is funny. He’s so M…

A couple photos of Uta Hiroshi during KiraFes rehearsals can be found at the Kiramune staff blog. It was announced a couple days ago that the event’s theme song will be “EVER DREAM.” The song will be available for early streaming via mobile phone starting November 25.
