Just to add to this post way later: CARPE DIEM was originally released with the pamphlet sold at Mami's first live tour in 2006.
And to add to the old conversation: I agree with axmish87 above that Mami had an appropriate send-off, with a big farewell concert and a best-of that contained many of her best songs and was really worth buying.
Some news:
I've singers Yuzuno and Rina have released their first solo singles. Here are previews for the releases:
I've is releasing the tenth GIRL's COMPILATION album, ALIVE, on July 28th.
Here's the announcement with a tentative tracklist, I won't bother posting the tracklist here until it's finalised.
I've produced two new songs for Ray's final best album, Happy days, which she recently released before retiring from music. The new songs are ♡こゆび姫♡ (Koyubi Hime) and マリンスノー (Marine Snow). You can download the album
here, for example.
In more loosely I've-related news: seiyuu-singer Yoshino Nanjo is releasing her third solo album on July 26th, and it features two songs with composition and lyrics from Mami Kawada and one song with lyrics from KOTOKO, and three songs on the album are arranged by Maiko Iuchi. KOTOKO and Maiko working with other singers is nothing new, but I believe this is the first time Mami has composed for other singers. I wonder if it also means she continues to work in songwriting even after retiring from her singing career.
And finally, the news I'm most excited about
: Eiko Shimamiya produced and released another mini-album this spring, but this time it wasn't completely limited to being released at M3! The album, Eko Parfait, the newest entry in the Eko series that started with Eko Tora in 2015, is available on
Melon Books, and also available for us foreign fans via proxy shopping services! I bought the album and received it yesterday, and I love it.
I posted a download link in the
Eiko Shimamiya discography thread, please check it out and enjoy! I LOVE Eiko's songs Anunnaki and Tanjou, and from the songs sung by the other singers featured, I love Individual the most. But for me, the absolute hightlight of the album is Chikyuu. It gave me chills and tears from the first time I heard it. And the song is actually a cover, and Eiko's version was produced by Takeshi Saitou, the writer and original singer of the song! The original version is also wonderful, so please check it out (
here's a preview of the studio version and
here's a performance of the full song in an acoustic version)!
