Album art is usually released about half a month to a month before the actual album comes out.

Namassuka! SPECIAL 04 should be coming out...the 17th, if I recall correctly.

So... Haruka won the Holy Grail War?

[Wilfriback]

No Okada there, everyething is fine .

[Julio C]

Dat Haruka, who doesn't like her these days? There is a lot of things I don't agreed on that list.

[Wilfriback]

I agree with the list except for K-on! movie .

[shinku no kage]

I'm not surprised that as a series iM@S ranked high but I'm gonna be completely honest here, I'm rahter surprised that Haruka and Nakamura Eriko made the top rankings. Not that I'm saying that she...they shouldn't have, I just didn't expect them to rank that high.

Nakamura Eriko beating Sawashiro Miyuki AND Hanazawa Kana? C'mon...but then again this is based on my personal preferences so...

Well moving onto iM@S goods news. They've announced a couple more goods availble for purchase on lalabit with the backstage pass, stickers and a towel.

http://lalabitmarket.channel.or.jp/feature/imas-festa/

I like the illustrations for the stickers but...2,100yen? Mmrgh...

Also a new Haruka figure:



Hopefully they'll do the other 765pro characters. I'll definitely buy Yayoi without a second thought if and when they release it.

[Julio C]

I hope those figures aren't expensive.

Anybody got any cool iM@S wallpapers?

[shinku no kage]

I think that one ran for about 3,600yen = $45. But don't worry, we've got plenty of time to save up, it's not due out til April 2013. So we've got a whole six months. orz

...oh, and with a little more research I found out that the next character from iM@S will be Miki.

Anyway, it's 10/10, which means...
\(^o^)/ "HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIBIKI~!!!...and Hamuzou" \(^o^)/

...and TWO MORE WEEKS!! Until iM@S Shiny Festa is released!!! \(^w^)/

It's an online-capable Mobage game featuring the original characters along with a huge set of new characters as well. You require a Japanese Mobage account to play, and it runs more like the style of a card battle system as opposed to the rhythm based gameplay one would be familiar with.

Still, Cinderella Girls is pretty fun, if you're a collect-addict like I am. They're also releasing singles for all of the new characters (up to the hundred mark, as an estimate), but those have been hit and miss so far.

Damn cute. I want to order it, but at the same time I want to wait for either a Chihaya or Takane fig.

... resisting hurts. Why does Haruka have to be so cute ._.

[Julio C]

I hope shinku doesn't die of a heart attack.
