All right everyone!!!!

We have a winner...[drum roll]...Shion!!!!!

She has hit 1000 copies which makes her the winner. I hope this isn't the end of Seara - I was rooting for her!!!

I know!!! What exactly did Shion win? She won like a performance spot at something for avex that is big...Anyway, Seara won the first single competition thing so thats gotta count for something.

They're on avex - they should be getting MAD promotion with these singles instead of this lame crap...

By the way, can anyone upload "Angel" by Seara Kojo onto youtube / dailymotion / imeem? It sounds SO pretty and I really wanna hear it.

1. 1000 CDs Project
In mid July, Rhythm Zone released the debut singles of performing hopefuls Seara Ko-Jo(”JOY”) and Shion Miyawaki(”BOY”) under the premise of “The Rival”, pitting the former music school friends agaisnt each other in musical debut battle. The results of the first challege officially declared Seara Ko-jo as the debut winner and she was given the opening performance spot at the final date of the A-Nation 07 concert. Given the overall results of the project, the girls fate has been revealed…

1. Due to poor sales of both debut singles, both respective 2nd singles were cancelled.
2. Instead, they will release the singles under an independent label (suspected to be “Rhythm Republic”).
3. Both singles will include 1 song for 500 yen. Only 1,000 copies will be printed of each.
4. The singles will not be sold in stores.
5. They will sell them through their own means.
6. They will be re-signed to Rhythm Zone once all copies are sold.
7. There is no time limit.
8. It is no longer considered a “rival” project.
9. Each has a budget of 300,000 yen.

These girls really work their butts off! I mean, c'mon, NO PROMOTION? They really have to go all the way down to the grassroots level and on a 1 to 1 basis to garner fans! I'm sure after this, when the real promotion comes, they'll be able to obtain a sustainable fanbase. I mean, like they can release digital singles and get more money from there!

Why is avex even not allowing chaku-uta downloads? It would really help to get their promotion going! But yup, I admire their fighting spirit!

Shion seems more clear headed though. I just watched the most recent episode and Seara seems slightly more confused and emotional. Shion's just firm and stable all the way! I'm glad Shion won this 2nd challenge! She's got 1000 CDs sold already! Seara's still a long way behind though, hope she catches up soon!

I hope they'll be able to excel from now on! Geez, this sure is a difficult period for them.

Shion was better at singing and she actually composes and writes her works so I think it's safe to say the better person won.
