DGS’s newly released single, My Dear Girl!, has ranked 10th and 15th, respectively, on the Daily and Weekly singles chart on Oricon! This is pretty amazing.
Congratulations to HiroC, OnoD, and the rest of the DGS staff!
Thanks to Nina for the tip.

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.
Announced at the Kuroshitsuji event this past weekend, a second season of Kuroshitsuji (aka Black Butler) has been confirmed. OnoD voices the main character Sebastian Michaelis.
