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.

Both Kamiya Hiroshi’s For myself and Ono Daisuke’s Netsuretsu ANSWER singles have been ranked on Oricon’s charts.

On the day of its release, For myself ranked #4 on the singles daily chart, and then moved up to #3 the next day. On the singles weekly chart, it ranked at #6 with 18,517 copies sold. To get into the top 10 is a huge feat. At the For myself release commemoration event on the 26th, it was announced that Kamiya’s second single will be released April 6th, 2011 and be titled Nijiiro Chouchou.

On the other hand, OnoD’s Netsuretsu ANSWER debuted at #4 on the singles daily chart on the day of its release and climbed up all the way to #2. On the weekly chart, it ranked in at #5 with an estimated 10,205 copies sold. WOW! Kamiya’s For myself dropped down to #29 the same week.

Note that For myself had over one week to accumulate its sales on the weekly chart, whereas Netsuretsu ANSWER had only about a week. Netsuretsu ANSWER is the ending theme to the Battle Spirits Brave anime, which probably gives it more exposure compared to For myself. Nevertheless, both Kamiya and OnoD were able to get their singles in the top 10 of Oricon’s singles weekly chart! Congratulations to them both!
