The Promotional Parade [July 2008]

Well, it’s been over a full year since I last did one of these. And why yes, this is oooooooooold. Half a year old. But I started this before my school term started again, before my Internet crashed, and before I lost my faithful laptop of 6-7 years. I have it, I poured hours into it, and so this is getting stuck up here anyways. Give it a look through anyways – if you have my taste in music you may find something new. Or you may just have fun when I poke fun too.

Six Flags up – wait, that was cheesy on so many levels.

I actually meant to get to this earlier, but when you consider the following release was put out on the same day as AAA’s Natsumono and the week I left for Otakon… can you blame me? (Also. More gratuitous references to AAA!)

Much like m.o.v.e, Miura Daichi took an unfortunate year-and-a-half break between the release of his last (and first) album and Flag, his latest single.

(Really, avex. What is it with you? My favorite artist under you, AAA, averages a release every month. And then every artist I like that’s managed by you, with the exception of Shimatani Hitomi, is on some completely whacked-out release schedule. Kayou Aiko and her 9-singles-before-her-first-album stint, DRM (formerly dream) and their musical hiatus with serial mini-albums (I want an album release with Soyokaze/STORY, dammit!), and we’ve already covered m.o.v.e and Daichi.)
