Woah. The single has been at #5 for two days now. I think I'm gonna download it now!

Nemurenu Yoru ni sounds boring sometimes but I love PARTY TIME PARTY UP. It's awesome. And the remix of NYN sounds better than the original version, btw.

Of course it's in the top 5, it's a great single. =]

I like both songs. Good single from Rina. :)

Can't wait to see what the weeklies say for the singles ranking! =] This is definitely a boost for Rina, her singles have ranked low lately.

PARTY TIME PARTY UP is sooo bloody good! The whole "Sexy party yeah! Viva party yeah!" PART is so kyuuuut! Ummm, I like Nemurenu Yoru ni. It's sorta boring though, takes a while to kick in. :] When to you think we can expect an album? April or May?

Top 10 ferrsure.

I think it's DIVA PARTY YEAH not VIVA. Although Spanish would be nice. =]

New album fer sure...maybe March/April? <3

^ O rly? I like VIVA PARTY more, so I'll stick with that. :P

Wow. The single had double the first week sales of Mint. (13,276 c.s.) The single must be quite popular! Let's hope it stays this way.

I love PARTY TIME PARTY UP allthough it reminds me a little of a cheesy eurovision song... :o I can't get enough of it though. One of her best singles in years. ^_^

Mini Rina update!

PARTY TIME PARTY UP/眠れぬ夜に sold 4,119 in the last Oricon ranking, bringing the total number of copies sold for the single to 17,395. Hopefully she can keep going up! =]

Apparently Rina hosted a 3hr radio program with the theme of bringing songs by female artists to the listeners, it was for Valentine's.

No news about her new album or a new single though...=[

Still loving NYN/PTPU though, and Mint as well. <3

eee Rina. Her new stuff has been great, I'm expecting big things from the next album! <3

I was expecting a new album in May (last studio album was May 2006 after all), but instead we're getting another single! It better be good, or the album is gonna have crappy sales xD

From her website:
I believe you ～愛の花～
Release date: May 7

Actual posting:
ニューシングル「I believe you ～愛の花～」リリース決定！！

2008年第1弾シングル「I believe you ～愛の花～」が5/7にリリース決定しました。光り輝くような、ピアノ、ストリングス、ウィンドチャイムの音色にのせて、愛内 里菜の甘く伸びやかなボーカルが響くバラードナンバー。あなたのそばにいて手を繋いでいる時…夜中ひとりき りで声も聞けない時…どんな時でもあなたを信じて、幸せの愛の花をあたなたと育んでいきたいと誓う女性の心 情を描いています。作曲は前作「眠れぬ夜に」でスケールの大きな切ないバラードを書いた後藤康 ニが担当。

Looks like it's going to be a big, sad ballad. =]

woooooooooooooooo, her ballads are really heartfelt <3

I agree! It's so funny to hear her sing so powerfully, because she has such a high talking voice ^_^

Yay for new single! :D

Um, anyone have clips of her talking voice? :3

Trust me, you don't want to hear her talk. It's the most annoying thing ever.
