Japanese iTunes Updates

If you're lucky enough to have access to Japan's version of iTunes (and by buying a gift voucher here you too can get songs of J-iTunes) then you may have noticed some recent Maaya related releases, namely:

Escaflowne Pack
Brain Powerd Pack

Both of which have Maaya songs included. Escaflowne being 'Yakusoku ha iranai' and 'tomodachi' while Brain Powerd is, of course, the beautiful 'Light of Love'. Other Maaya stuff up for grabs on J-iTunes are as follows:

Saigo no Kajitsu/mitsubachi to kagakusha (single w/o instrumentals)
Chizu to Tegami to Koi no Uta (radio podcast)
Chizu to Tegami to Koi no Uta (digital release only best)

I'm not sure if any of you remember the Chizu to Tegami to Koi no Uta (maps and letters and love songs) digital release but basically it was an album of songs chosen by Maaya under that title as a theme and put up on various J-pop download services to buy. Not very useful for those who already have the songs included, but intended for new listeners I guess, and the fact that her radio show of the same name is also on iTunes = introduce listeners to radio AND music = more exposure. Anyway, the songs were:

I.D
Uchuu Hikoushi no Uta
LOOP
Hashiru
Alkaloid
Koucha
Wakaba
Kimidori
park amsterdam (the whole story)
Yuunagi LOOP
Okitegami

It was released in March last year, and has four and a half stars out of five for listener ratings on iTunes. Which is nice. Anyway, that's just a small....kinda....thing I wanted to share. Ha, ha.
