My god, seven years already?!  man, aren't we getting old? :)
it's so nice to hear from you Shopgirl and the other Mike from S.C. again.  
It's good to see so many new (and old, 7 year-old!!) seiko fans here.

it's really sad to see seiko going down and disappearing from the JPOP
scene like that.  I still remember the excitement i had whenever i knew 
there was a single scheduled for release, that is, pre-shinji era!

when Sony decided to release "suteki na ashita,"  i thought Sony had
convinced seiko to end her collaboration with shinji.  but after realizing
that she is going to stick with him for the Xth time, i was saddened to see how many failure seiko has to withstand before she would learn that
fans out there do not appreciate the direction she is insisting on.

but one thing i hope is for seiko to continue singing, even if it means 
another S.H. :(

take care and chat later

>Dear Seiko fans,

>As much as i'm a fan of seiko, her recent decision to collaborate with shinji harada was nothing but a disaster, to the point that i was really turned off by seiko music.  her voice is still great (as always), but with the type of songs shinji wrote, nothing is gonna save her.  but as a true seiko fan, i bought all her CDs with the mind that i might only listen to them once.

>I just sampled her upcoming CD single "Call me" at Sony Music.  i must say, it sounds pretty good to me.  the sampling rate is pretty bad so i can't say for sure if the same type of music arrangement by shinji is used again.  but at least, it has chorus backing up seiko.  the melody is really good.  i'm looking forward to getting her CD once it comes out.

>what do you all think of the new single?  and what happened to the original tentative CD single titled "kagami no naka no MYSELF" (no sure about the exact title)?
