BIG News!
The 4th and final volume of the Dear Girl ~Stories~ Hibiki comic was released today!
It was announced on the obi that the third DGS Hibiki drama CD would be released this fall. It will retail for 2940 yen.
We can probably assume that this will be the last drama CD since the announcement talks about the “final season” of Hibiki being dramatized.
SYLPH 2012/03
Just announced in the latest issue of SYLPH was the release of the next DGS Hibiki tankoubon volumes! Vol.3 will be relesed on March 22nd, and vol.4 on April 21st. Both will retail for 630 yen. There will also be a big announcement included with the comics.
The next issue of SYLPH will include a bonus booklet featuring DGS Hibiki illustrations by Iwasaki sensei, as well as her comments on drawing the illustrations. This month’s issue was supposed to include the concluding chapter of the DGS Hibiki manga but they were not able to fit the entire chapter in one issue so next month’s issue will be the real end.
Meant to share these earlier, but here are some photos taken at the Bunka Housou booth at Animate Girls Festival in Ikebukuro’s Sunshine City. The first image is from Hamamatsucho when I went to the AoEx event, however.

Now for the main topic at hand, Christmas is just around the corner! I’d like to organize a project to send letters and fan art to Kamiya and OnoD for Christmas, similar to the DGS4LO Fan Project earlier this year. Rules are the same, so let’s show the boys our support!
The premise
Send fan letters and/or fan art to Kamiya Hiroshi, Ono Daisuke, and/or the DGS staff. All letters and art will be sent together as one package to Bunka Housou and addressed to Dear Girl ~Stories~.
What is allowed
Letters and art only. Sorry, no presents.
DEADLINE
All letters and art must be received by DECEMBER 12, 2011.

This year’s CharaHobby took place on August 27-28 at Makuhari Messe. Friends and I overnighted the night before in order to get good spots outside the seating area of the main stage. Let’s just say Friday night kind of sucked. It rained and rained and rained. We only had to endure it for about 4 hours though since the staff let us into the building at midnight. Still rather sucked because these three girls behind us kept talking and laughing out loud all night long. Couldn’t sleep a wink! >_< All the effort was worth it though because my friends and I were able to get front row on the right side of the stage, same as years past. The moment we got there, the main screen showed a commercial for the DGS4LO event DVD, which made a few people scream with delight. After securing our spots, I went to register and change into my HiroC cosplay. Read more…
CharaHobby 2011 and KAmiYU in Wonderland 2 in Osaka both took place this weekend.
The annual DGS public recording was at CharaHobby on Saturday. I’ll try to have a report up soon but in the mean time, the big announcement was that the show will have a new opening and ending song in October and a new single, Smiley Time, will be released November 2nd!
At KAmiYU in Wonderland 2 in Osaka on Sunday, it was announced that Kamiya would be releasing his first full album on December 14th! The album will include 10 songs, including For myself and Nijiiro Chouchou. The limited edition will include a DVD and retail for 3990 yen. The regular edition will be 2940 yen. The announcement can be found on the Kiramune website.
Also, if my ears did not fool me, I’m sure I heard OnoD narrating the promotion video for Gundam AGE at today’s Gundam.info stage at CharaHobby, and also as the character Wolf Eniacl! There still has not been an official cast announcement but rumor has it that Kamiya will be in the series.
