The online shop Getchu.com has listed a new Dear Girl ~Stories~ opening and ending theme single, titled Yume no DearGirl Otoko. This single has not yet been announced on the radio show, but according to this website it will be release August 11, 2010 and retail for 1260 yen, tax included.
The product page can be found here.
In the title, yume (dream) is written as yabou (ambition).
The single seems to have been listed on Amazon Japan but the page is no longer available. Same with the Animate online shop, JBOOK, and a few other retailers. Perhaps they leaked the pre-order too early. After some searching, there are some who have their pre-order page up, such as Rakuten Books and Guruguru Ou Koku. Since many reputable retailers have/had pre-order pages up, it can be assumed that there will indeed be a new opening and ending
HiroC/OnoD

theme for DGS within the next few months.
As you may know, the August issue of SYLPH, to be released June 22, will include a mascot figure of OnoD. The SYLPH editors’ blog now has photos of it over here. When I went to Animate in Ikebukuro a couple weeks ago, I found that they had a real sample of it on display. Photos are on the left.
