Based on her interviews and the way she acts, she's a real life Ranka Lee. She's just being herself. I love this video. She's probably going to be really famous!

Indeed that is true. And from what I've gathered around, people are still attributing her singing to "Ranka Lee", not "Nakajima Megumi". While both debuting under Kanno, Sakamoto Maaya has the luxury of not being attributed her singing to the in story character, compared to Nakajima. The way I see it now, Ranka is both a blessing and a curse to her

Those of you looking to download the song/video there is a browser that will let you download the video to your format of choice avi/ipod mp4/mpeg or you can just download the audio. But the instructions are in japanese.

I'd like to add Yuki Kajiura as one of the best composers the anime industry has seen, in addition to Yoko Kanno.

Indeed the video looks amateur enough to get such comments

But the song itself isn't bad

Indeed. Remember the "other" Yoko Kanno product? Yes, Sakamoto Maaya. It took her like 5 years to finally release an album WITHOUT Yoko Kanno's influence. In my honest opinion, she's still stuck with the "Ranka Lee" title. And when I listened to that, I don't feel the same vibe of what I heared listening to the Macross Frontier soundtrack. May'N is different from her. While Nakajima was scouted just for the role of Ranka, May'N was already an artist. Thus she has nothing to loose, and honestly, she had gained more credibility singing as Sheryl. Compared to Ranka, Sheryl's song are more mature, and suits her better as she are already singing that kind of songs before.

In the meantime, anyone interested in downloading the video can install a Firefox addon such as NicoFox ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8888 ) or any similar embedded Flash download tool, go to the NicoNico page and use the addon to download the file directly.

I'm in two minds as to whether to include the link in the player or not... Might cause problems.

At any rate, I will get a guidance wiki up soon to cover these skills and more.

All hail Ranka Lee indeed, but let's not forget the mastermind of Ranka's songs: Yoko Kanno. Megumi's new singles, still being cute and all, are of a much lower production quality than Ranka's songs and eventually will probably slowly flush her career down the drain. This considering Yoko Kanno's music production immediately put her at the peak of her success because well, it doesn't really get much better than Yoko Kanno. In effect having us fans expect more of the same high quality songs and just getting same-ol' mass produced pop songs on our plates. Think I'm wrong? I already see things like "she should just release albums in the name of ranka lee" in just these comments, I'm sure a lot of those censored niconico users felt the same way. If I was her manager I would've gone as far as to stopping all singing activities and immortalizing her Ranka voice. Of course regular voice acting wouldn't be a problem and would only further boost her fame. What the fuck is this manager person thinking? Ride the wave of her success and get rich quick probably, I really hope she finds another one because she is extremely talented and pretty unique in my opinion.

That's quite adorable, although that hat...needs to go. And I suppose that if I were her producer, I would also require better colour coordination for her outfit -- although it does add to the charming amateurish touch. But I hope to hear more of her as a seiyuu as well...

I thought that performance was cute. People that dissed her must have really high standards.
