Zard Cruising & Live Album, new poll and wallpaper
Today isn't another day, it is a big day! It is namely the official release day of Zard's first live album.
The album consists of a cd with 14 tracks sang during the concert and a cd-rom with video-clips taken
from the concert. The production of this album is limited to 300,000 units only, so be quick (if you are
smart you should have preordered it).
As you can see I have made a new poll. The old poll's result was very clear, 90% would buy the
live album immediately when it comes out. As for the new poll, everyone probably know that Zard has
the habit of releasing one album a year. But last year was an exception with the release of all in all 3
albums, although two of them were best albums. It would be interesting to know how big a Zard
fan you are.
Additionally, I have made a couple of desktop wallpapers, it's in the
wallpaper section.
Hope you like them.

Zard new song and lyrics-book
On Zard's official homepage we can read that Zard's new song Mado no Soto wa Monochrome is
set to be their 32nd single. The song is used as the ending theme for a some kind of Japanese program.
However, the release date is not yet decided.
Furthermore, Zard will release a book which contains many of Izumi Sakai's work (read lyrics).
The book's title is Yureru Omoi and will be released on 6 February. I'm sure this is one of those
collector items along with their Live Album. Talking about the Live Album which will be released tomorrow,
the folks over at the official homepage haven't posted the album's cover yet, a little strange.
They sure can keep it secret ^_^

Zard interview
It's a little quiet around Zard lately; it's like a calm before the storm, a few days before the release
of the live album. I did find something interesting though, it's an interview with Izumi Sakai translated into
English. In the interview she talks about the Eien album and how she gets inspirations for new songs.
Click here for the interview.
The translation
is done by Ryuichi and his site
has also a vast amount of
Jpop lyrics translations including Zard's!
