Kitamura Eri first personal single coming up?

The Animate online store has an entry listing which essentially says “Kitamura Eri 1st Maxi-single” with a serial of LACM-4513, coming out on July 23rd. Since KitaEri has released numerous character singles for anime such as Seto no Hanayome and Kodomo no Jikan already I’d take it that this is going to be her first single under her very own name. I’m pumped for this release as I think KitaEri is another power seiyuu singer that has plenty of potential to make it big. However, LACM points to the single being released by Lantis, so there’s this looming bad vibe about this which I can’t shake off as well.

Either way, this is a good time to re-visit KitaEri’s Hyakka Seiran anisong covers to see why I’m excited:

Tamura Yukari’s Budoukan Live DVD set release confirmed

Anisong site Axive has reported that Yukarin’s historical live at Budoukan “Love♡Live 2008 *Chelsea Girl*” will see a DVD release on July 23rd (damn what’s with this day?!). A DVD release is expected and anticipated by many, but the real bit of news is that they are going to have a 5.1 soundtrack – a first for King Records’ seiyuu DVD releases I believe. Due to various circumstances I actually had to pass on this concert, and while there is no substitute for physically being there, at least a nicely mastered DVD with 5.1 soundtrack can capture part of the magic. Yukarin is taking one for the team here – as I’m sure depending on how this release is recieved that a 5.1 track for Nana’s Live Fighter concert for this year would be a given. So here’s hoping that the release will be good.

    I’m excited for KitaEri’s single too. Is there going to be an official press announcement for it?

    Nice minorin goods! I like the third picture a lot.

    Is it possible if you could scan and upload the rest of the books please? :D
    (btw, What is that blue card on the right of the first picture for?)

    KitaEri single? *Does a little dance of joy* She actually released a bunch of singles under Pony Canyon (Tsuyogari &…. something else I can’t recall) a long time ago, so I guess the 1st here is referring to her first with Lantis.

    The fanclub news letter is 16 pages. The other one is a cardboard folder to hold the news letter.

    > star

    I’m sure they’ll do an announcement for the KitaEri single soon, probably next month I think.

    Not going to scan/photo the rest of the book cos I’m lazy. XD The rest is pretty much text anyway.

    The blue card is the fanclub member card.

    I’ve only heard KitaEri more recently as Uchida, but I’ll probably rewatch Touka Gettan to hear her Inukai.

    As for the minorin fanclub goods, boy you’re making us all jealous :3 Would really love some scans of those gorgeous pictures

  7. Willsun Says:

    I really (really x1000³) want to join Minorin’s fanclub and get all that. Especially good photos of her post-straight bangs.

    I attempted to get as far as I could for the m.s.s. application but accepted defeat when it asked for which prefecture I lived in. Isn’t there any way to just put down something random for that and still have them send me things to America?

    houkoholic-san, I’m going to share you images of Minori’s goods (not copy link directly) to the other sites. I’ll definitely mention those images are from here and from you…m(_ _)m

    Actually, those bbs sites are Chinese based and member login may be required. Anyway, here are the links:
