This week has seen an especially copious number of notable (for Akiba) CD releases, with popular seiyuu-singers Nana Mizuki and Minori Chihara both having new CDs, K-ON! receiving its OST, the new Fullmetal Alchemist 1st OP by Yui, and a new Macross F drama CD all coming out on virtually the same day.
Below are some samplings and information about the new releases if your musical tastes are so inclined…
Minori Chihara / 茅原実里
Tomorrow’s Chance
Tomorrow’s Chance is the first new single from Minorin (Nagato’s seiyuu, among several others) since last year’s Paradise Lost, the OP to the supernatural action Ga-rei Zero series.
Watch the PV above, if for no other reason than to notice how much better Minorin looks when she wears her down in her normal style.
Nana Mizuki / 水樹 奈々
ULTIMATE DIAMOND
This is the first full sized album from Mizuki (Nanoha’s Fate, Minami-ke’s Touma, White Album’s Rina) in nearly two years, a delightful event for fans of the popular seiyuu singer.
The PV above is for 悦楽カメリア / Etsuraku Camellia (Pleasure Camellia), one of the new songs from the album.
K-ON! ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK
Following up the tremendously successful OP, ED and Fuwa Fuwa Time releases, the OST for K-ON! has finally come out, offering 15 different background tracks from the show, samples of which are available at the above Amazon link.
Not content with the artwork featured on the CD cover’s, one of the staff members at Tora no Ana main Akihabara store took it upon himself to make his own CD jacket (!) featuring the moe-some Azusa, as photographed below by Moeyo:
The white signs read, “Azusa is definitely the best!” and, “My Azusa isn’t on it (the cover)!?”
Certainly, the staffer (apparently one of the managers) has earned his high rank among fans of Azusa.
Macross Frontier Drama CD Nyan-Dora 3
The third Drama CD from Macross F, this release contains 50 minutes of sure to be entertaining radio play performances by the main cast members of Macross F.
As the name would suggest, this is the third such Drama CD, continuing on from Volumes 1 and 2.
And, yes, this is not strictly a music release, with only 1 of the 4 tracks, 突撃ラブハート / Totsugeki Rabu Haato (Assault Love Heart) appearing to be a song.
Those in search of more of Macross F’s beautiful melodies, can find assistance by way of the attractively packaged Macross F Ero-CDs.

YUI
again
The 1st OP for the new Full Metal Alchemist series, “again”, is the last in our round-up of new releases – sung by singer (not seiyuu) YUI, this new single is quite interesting to listen to, partly because of YUI’s atypical voice.
Unfortunately, all videos of it are being removed quickly by its zealous copyright holders…

this is awesome. please update us with j-music release info from now on. itz so hard to keep up otherwise.
Feito's song have been removed .. ;_;
Hmmm, i've heard of the Neo FMA OP and ED and i kinda like it [At least more than K-ON but a bit less than Eden]. Yui's voice is kinda weird and mesmerizing at the same time.
Ah, Mitsuki Nana! (^.^) She left the most impact on me as Fate Testarossa from the MSLN series and her epic song, Eternal Blaze.
「水樹 奈々」
↑ Reads as Nana Mizuki. Not Mitsuki.
Way to fail at being a fan.
Gah, gomen Mizuki-san. m(TT.TT)m
Actar, I sent you a mail, so heads up.
YUI RULESSSS.
YES Mizuki Nana got the number one spot on the first day of release, and she deserves it, even if this album is not as good as great activity.
Looking forward to the new minorin song
I'm getting the K-On OST and YUI is another awesome singer.
I'm gonna buy the CD of Chihara Minori. I try to support my favorite seiyuu (is easy download, so... buy it!).
Yui. A 3D girl that is even better than 2D.
YUI~ <3 <3 <3
OH HAIL AZUZA
Minori Chihara and Nana Mizuki getting CD releases in the same week? ALL RIGHT, JAPAN ~ !
>>????<<<HM....If only japanese stuff were sold at other countries..with the same launch date...
Lol hahaha.. I actually thought they released Azusa's character album too soon. Can't blame the staff (in fact he should be glorified) since it's a sin to neglect Azusa...
Yui's "Again" is awesome nevertheless, the OP of FMA Brotherhood is worth watching as well as the series itself.
First Miofaggotory. Now Azusafaggotory. What's next?
You asked for it.

YUI...she's so cute
3D YUI > 2D yui
3D YUI == 2D YUI
Blasphemous! 2D Yui > 3D Yui!
Well there is a lot of releases to be honest, but thought this is worth a mentioned:

I remember everybody being worried about the cast of K-ON! being a bunch of newbies before it started airing. Meh, just look at 'em now.
I think they did pretty darn well. Gotta get hands on that CD in the near future...
Hauu Azusa. I'm taking you home.
. . .
i lol'd
Should we be expecting frequent release information of albums and singles in the future?
and compete with animeinstrumentality? nah.
yes, for the the better musics (°w°)b
This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.
Perhaps not, Anonymous - I was mostly compelled to do this one because of all the simultaneous releases.
Something along the lines of a Macross F album, or an especially popular new CD (with available Youtube/Nico links) would definitely entice to write on them.
just as planned.
oO, thats a pretty sick job of a custom jacket.
looks so.... official.
I can't wait to meet her next month :D
MIZUKIIII NAANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
and minorin
getting both album soon
K-on i leech em.. tch
Waiting for nipponsei to deliver :D
Second.
Yui+"Rolling Stars"=GREAT!!!!!!
The 2nd vid is...removed? =.=
ye :| only 1st one still works
OMG, my money will be gone again... orz
Damn its so hard getting one here.
No vid, but here's audio from Yui's "Again". Actually it's an audio rip from a NicoNico Again x Gurren Lagann MAD (get that?) --but if you just want to listen to the song. . .
