more promo, yay!!

that show with nakai should really help with promo i'm excited :luv2 still hoping for a performance on music station, HEY X3 or like CDTV. EYES has grown on me so much also I love it :weep


As for a-nation...I went to the official site and it looks like she's just a shooting star act again? I'm gonna flip if we get another 1minute clip of her performance for the third year in a row :gnash

can't remember if this was posted but Maki had a small appearance in the latest issue of Scawaii

I see they're still calling her Gomaki lol
Love the scarf she's wearing on her head :blove

That's a gorgeous picture of her!

Looks like there's some special event going on at select Don Quijote stores starting on July 15:

Google translate says something about presenting awards to the first 100 people placing a preorder?

I wonder if that means you get some sort of exclusive preorder bonus if you qualify? Or could they be event tickets if Maki is going to make promotional appearances at the listed stores? :shrug

That's a nice shot of her, the scarf is pretty.

Scawaii is a pretty popular magazine, is it not?

I want Don Quijote edition of the album so bad :( It's not in cdjapan!!

Nice pic of her, she looks so cool and relaxed!

I really want the Don Quijote version also...but having a bidding war for it on YAJ would be a pain in the ass + going through a middle man ahhhhh. Unless the middle man would actually go to the store...idk if anyone here is planning on getting that version please tell me how!

lol I find that kinda funny because she apparently hates the "gomaki" nickname, and after all these years people still continue to call her it. I still prefer gocchin over it :heart

more scans

Love the one of her holding the umbrella!

stunning scans :heart

Yeah, I've been thinking of how to get my hands on it too.

I've asked my middleman but he says he has to think about it because he's never done personal shopping before and also because there aren't any Donki stores near him.

There are professional personal shopper services in Japan that could do it but their fees are so costly (5,000 JPY per trip + transportation + commission, etc.) that in total, it would probably cost the same as getting the it off of Y!AJ in a bidding war.

It also doesn't help either that in order to guarantee a copy, you have to preorder it and (I think) pay for it in full before it's released. :dead2

HMV put up previews of the album!

waiting to listen :weep

^thanks a lot ^0^!!
My fav. song (preview) is EYES, but the others songs are great, this is gonna be an amazing mini-album!!!

thanks for the scans, she is pretty^^

I am loving the previews! :heart

thanks for the scans!
my favourite is that where she is holding that umbrella :luv2

i really like the previews for "Wagamama" & "Ienaikedo" :D it's more laid-back than SWEET BLACK, but i think i can learn to appreciate it.

There was another segment where she ate noodles...but that was quickly deleted from everywhere damn you Japan :weep

oh the performance is really nice!
but i think that there are too many dancers... and the hair and the skirt aren't the best choice.

just about to post the performance, but on youku....:P i was beaten to it, lol.

anyway, maki looked gorgeous and it was a really nice performance! Houseki is relaxing to listen to :P
