On DGS 116, it was announced that the third DGS koukai rokuon (public recording) will take place at CharaHobby 2009, August 29-30 at Makuhari Messe. The specific day and time is still TBA. Similar to the public recording in 2008, in order to get a seat in the audience area, fans will have to submit a lottery application from SYLPH magazine (probably the July issue). Fans who do not get chosen in the lottery will still be able to watch the recording outside the seating area.
There will be a special DGS ticket bundle for CharaHobby that will be available for purchase at Animate starting July 22. The bundle will include tickets to both days of CharaHobby as well a DGS handkerchief set. One handkerchief will feature a design with the DGS nekos, and the other a collage of all the Dear Voice lines hand-written by HiroC and OnoD.
For the 2009 CCP (Charin Charin Project), tshirts will once again be sold. HiroC’s design will feature an A-like figure with the words “Now Peak!” and “here” at the top, and OnoD’s will have a design that looks like sweat under the armpits. A design also came in from Chanko chan that says “DGS” (Debu dakedo Guddo Sumeru/I’m fat but smell good).
More details about the public recording will be announced later.
Update: The designs for the handkerchief included in the DGS ticket bundle (aka Hankachiketto) have been published on the SYLPH editor blog.

Kamiya Hiroshi will be releasing a mini album! Quite unexpected, huh? It will be released August 26, 2009 and there will be two versions: a regular version, and a gouka version that includes a DVD. They will retail for 2100 yen and 3300 yen respectively, tax included. This mini album is the third release by the Kiramune Label. Right now it seems the mini album is only available for pre-order at Sofmap but since previous Kiramune CDs are available at Amazon and other retailers, I’m sure it is not a Sofmap exclusive.

The Kuroshitsuji event that took place on June 14 will be available in digest format as a bonus DVD that comes with the limited edition of Kuroshitsuji VIII (DVD vol.8). The event will be on a separate DVD so let’s hope most of the event will be included. It will also be released on August 26, the same as HiroC’s mini album. Aside from the bonus event digest DVD, Vol.8 LE will also include a card to attend the Kuroshitsuji event in January 2010. In order to enter the lottery, you will need to buy both Vol.7 LE and Vol.8 LE.
