Dear All,
Hi. Here is the official on latest releases, from today's press:
Single and Album will be released on 6/20

SINGLE: Anata shika mienai (loosely translated as "only you can see it", got to
see the lyrics for )a better translation. It is a ballad, lyrics by Seiko&Harada, 
written by Harada. This is a change from what was informed by the fanmail, 
which stated "This is the place", a british-sound piece as the intended single.
Coupling song remains as a cover of Ave Maria, used in the Dr Divas commercial.

ALBUM: Love & Emotion (er... no comments about this title :(  would like to know
more about the concept behind this first.)
produced by Harada Shinji

In today's news. Seiko was reported to have started shooting for the year-end 
big budget Japanese epic in Kyoto last week. Shots have been put together in
Rinsuke's webpage. Highly recommended. Please check it out soon before it goes
away (ps. it is a forum page, a hot one too so pages change pretty fast)

The costume is Seiko's first, made up of the full 12layers, and weighs 20kg.
Cost is estimated at 30,000,000yen. She plays a "peaceful spirit", a character
that was not in the original literature, and sings to her script. In one scene,
she is said to be "floating" from some men and while doing that removes layer
by layer....  quite a tedious feat, acknowledged by the movie director.


With daughter SAYAKA in the limelight, a first in a sucessful Spring series of 
her dinnershows, the huge pulicity and attention to this movie in JP,
Seiko's two CMs on air, and the new release in June,... it looks like this year's
concert tour will yet be another big bash.... what a way to start a 21st century
and Seiko's 21st year!


I am lookign forward to the new single. it has been a long time since it was a
Japanes only title.... Although the first impression from the title itself 
reminds me of 96's anatani aitakute Missing You.

IT is hope beyond hope to wish for a vinyl release of this coming album?
