News updates: cover art and bonus goods

Is it just me or has someone on Maaya’s official website gotten so excited about the releases that they forgot all about that whole ‘every Friday we will announce something’ theme and just got hyper-active with the upload button? They are certainly very upload trigger-happy at the moment.

So! News roll. Maaya’s official site unveiled the covers for the okaerinasai single – and very nice they are too! I think we can now safely say all the covers were shot on her trip to Ireland. Very pretty! I really like the limited edition covers for both singles. Really nice!

It’s also just a few days until the concert at the Tomioka Silk Factory in Gunma Prefecture (lucky Megumi from Maaya’s has a ticket!) and on Twitter it was announced that both the re-issue of I.D. and from everywhere would be on sale along with some CD’s – I assume the new singles. 

The latest volume of the Full Moon Recital Hall Bedtime Story is on sale from today and Sai-zen-sen is re-broadcasting it tonight at 10pm (Japanese time.) They also released information about the final volume, it will be spread over two discs with full illustrations etc. and a bit more expensive because of the extra disc and massive illustration book. Looks like a nice volume!

A lot of special gifts at different stores were announced as bonus’ for the new releases as well. Driving in the silence will have a message card at Animate online, the…er…Broccoli(?) Online store will have a special postcard with a message on it as well. Nice one!

Buddy has also been leaked in full on the internet for those of you who are internet savvy.

I also managed to get a ticket for Maaya's performance in Recita Calda which is rather exciting. Apparently it's not a musical, a play or a simple recital but a NEW KIND OF THEATRE EXPERIENCE! Going from the PR material at least, haha. Will let you know how it goes!
