DGS4LO goods, upcoming SYLPH furoku

March 23rd, 2011

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.

Music charts, Dear Girl Sanda

October 9th, 2010
Oricon Singles Daily 2010/09/30

Daily 9/30

The newest single from Dear Girl ~Stories~, Dear Girl wa Nemuranai, has ranked in on the Oricon Music Chart. Oricon gathers its sales data from over 25,000 retailers, making it one of the best sales statistic sites. Dear Girl wa Nemuranai debuted on the Daily Singles chart at #10 on its release day, then climbed to #5 the next day, and fell to #9 the day after. On the Weekly Singles chart, it debuted at #13, DGS’ best ever weekly Oricon ranking. (Netsuai S-O-S! has ranked in at #15 on the weekly chart.) According to the OtaSuke website, the single only needed about 500 more sales to make it to #10 on the weekly chart. Ranking in the top 10 on Oricon’s

Billboard JAPAN 2010/10/04

Billboard 10/4

weekly chart is a huge feat. Though Dear Girl wa Nemuranai fell a bit short, it is still hard to get into the top 20 and ranking in at #13 doesn’t negate the fact that this single has produced the best sales DGS has ever had.

Aside from Oricon, Dear Girl wa Nemuranai also ranked in at #1 on Billboard JAPAN’s Top Independent Albums and Singles chart, updated October 4th. It’s quite amazing to see a DGS CD rank in so high on the most prestigious music charts. It shows just how much popularity and influence this radio show has. Yeah, don’t forget– This is a radio show!

Dear Girl Sanda at Family Mart

DG Sanda

In other news, Dear Girl Sanda is now being sold at Family Mart convenient stores all over Japan (except Miyagi-ken, Kagoshima-ken, and Okinawa; Hokkaido pending investigation). They were supposed to go on sale Monday, October 4 but it seems none of the stores had them out yet. The next day, I checked a Family Mart in Akihabara, and it was already sold out! I guess that’s what you expect from Akihabara though… The day after I checked a Family Mart near my station and they had it! Yay~! There aren’t many Family Marts where I live; there are mostly 7-11s, so it’s kind of unfortunate that Dear Girl Sanda is only sold at FamiMa.

Postcards

Yesterday, pre-orders for Dear Girl Sanda were available for pick-up at Animate, so I went and got my two boxes with bonus postcard. Shortly after I got home, the delivery man came with my order from the Chou! A&G Shop with four more boxes of Dear Girl Sanda! (Two are for a friend.) There is also a bonus postcard you can receive from Chou! A&G Shop if you buy two boxes. Since I bought four, I received two postcards, which was a bit surprising since I thought you only get one per order. Well, I’m not complaining!

PS Two more weeks til the DGS movie!!
