HOLY FREAKIN' CRAP. I saw newspaper scans of the news shortly after I posted earlier but I hesitated to put it here because Nana-san doesn't have like a blog entry spazzing over it, and NANA PARTY says nothing. But now that it's on Kouhaku's official site, I can safely post about it!
There's like two seconds of PHANTOM MINDS. I'm quite surprised it's not composed by Elements Garden.
In other news, I am not gonna update all that info on PHANTOM MINDS anymore because A FREAKING 22TH SINGLE (Silent Bible) HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED. Includes the opening for the Nanoha PSP game. On top of that, IT HAS FOUR TRACKS. AGAIN. Gosh Nana-san is really on a roll. Not that I mind, but my wallet is starting to feel the effects.
oh and also because i have no time. yeah. look at these contentless posts lately (and my lack of care for capitalization in this sentence).
Jin Nakamura's ballads are quite awsm. Too bad the better singer sells for less than 10k copies, while the one with 80% of Japan's teenage girls swooning over him will sell anywhere from 100k to 600k. Sigh.
Update 1: Single name released on Smile Gang 396, but since it's audio only I have no idea on the actual capitalization and miscellaneous stuff like that. It's... not what I would expect for a Nanoha song name?
Edit: Boohoo. Even NANA PARTY has updated now. So much for the suspense.

Well I guess we know what the big announcement is now, lol. Quite amusing to see an announcement for a new single in the same week the 20th one was released. I guess my wallet is going to be even emptier now ;A;
According to Neowing/CDJapan, this includes the Nanoha movie OP & IN and something to do with Shining Force Cross.
Yukarin's 17th single announcement should be coming soon also? What would really be awesome is if all the Nanoha songs are released on one CD, so I don't have to contemplate on whether I should get Yukarin's ED or not... but yeah. That's not going to happen.
Can't write anything besides these short little posts until at least past tomorrow, tests galore >: back to studying.
So my grad photos are coming up in less than five hours, and of course instead of preparing for it, I am watching Music Japan! That sounds splendid.
I think it's pretty safe to call Nana-san a MJ regular now. Compared to that first time she sung on TV (Trickster @ Music Fighter) this is pretty awesome. Sometimes I feel like the instrumentals are waay too loud but yeah, it's not the first time it's happened.
In other news, why the hell did KinKi Kids and UVERworld release their singles on the same day ;A; whatever. I'm just happy to see that Mugen is basically going against the currents and is swimming upstream ATM. Third place should not be impossible, though Momusu beat them on the first day.
True
