New "single" by Yaguchi and Yasuda

Mari Yaguchi and Kei Yasuda is going to release the song I wrote about some time ago: "kimi ni todoke".

According to Yaguchi's blog (translated by b.slade & kuno at hello-online) the song is gonna be released digitally through a download site called recochoku,

They performed the song together at a fan club event this summer, and it is that version which is gonna be released.

It would have been nice if they recorded it in a studio and released a two track single with a studio recording and a live verion. But at least it is gonna be "released".
A small step forward, maybe we will get to see more music aranged by Yasuda?

I did a sub for the live performance, available at hello-online :)

Working on the site

In addition to this blog i am working on updating my site: www.hpoldschool.com

It is a work in progress which is taking a lot of time.
It takes a long time for two reasons:
1 My interest in HP isn't as big as it was two years ago (and further back)
2 It takes time to collect up all the info!

My main interest within HP has always been music first. I never cared that much to as what the girls were up to on other activities, it was music and concerts that interest me!

But for my site i want to have abiography in addition to the discography. For many of the girls the info is scarce, making their bios short and incomplete. For others there is too much info and a long history.

Right now I have taken a pause from writing biographies and started scanning.
Oh the pain it is to scan magazines!
I have a 150 paged magazine consisting of pnly hp stuff, which means i have to scan all of it. On top of that the pages are too big for the printer. SO i ahve to scan each page twice and join them in photoshop.
TIme consuming yes.

Hopefully someone will provide their aid and translate the articles. That is my purpose of doing this!
