Daily Album 8/25

HiroC’s debut mini album Hare no Hi has finally been released. As one would expect, it hit the top ten of Oricon chart. For daily albums, it is #8 for August 25, 2009. Congratulations, HiroC!

I’ve already listened to the CD and watched the DVD. HiroC’s singing has improved significantly and while it can still use some work, I think he did a very good job. I especially enjoyed Yasashii Kaze and my diary. The DVD includes a PV for my diary, a making of video of the album, and a couple commercials.

Hare no Hi goukaban

The PV is cute but it’s rather obvious that he’s just lip syncing, hehe. I really liked the making of video. It’s narrated by HiroC and he talks about the hardships of producing the album, etc. You can tell that a lot of work was put into making Hare no Hi, and that’s something to be appreciated. You have to remember that HiroC doesn’t particularly enjoy singing and he admits that it’s not his strong point. In fact, the very first thing he says at the beginning of the making of video is that he is a voice actor, not  a singer. The CM portion was just a couple 15-second commercials. I wonder if any of them were shown on the big screen at the UDX building in Akihabara. I’ve seen SuzuKen’s, Hirakawa’s, and Irino’s PVs on there.

Anyway, more Kamiya this weekend at CharaHobby! OnoD too!

PS You can see what the Black Hibiki cellphone strap that will be sold at CharaHobby looks like at the SYLPH editor’s blog.

Information Kamiya Hiroshi

It was officially announced during DGS 118 that Dear Girl ~Stories~ will become a game! No specifics such as release date have been decided yet, but the game will be for Nintendo DS and developed by the same company that did the Vitamin series, HuneX. The game will also be directed by the same person who directed the Vitamin series, Iwasaki Daisuke (aka IwaD). The game was jokingly called Vitamin Hibiki. Of course, the game will feature HiroC and OnoD. In addition, Iwasaki Saya sensei will be creating five new original characters for the game.

The official website for the game is here. SYLPH Vol.8 (to be released 7/22) will include a furoku preview booklet for the game, and more information will also be available in the next Dengeki Girl’s Style coming out 8/10.
