We've been busy to keep up with a lot of updates recently, but there's a few new CD releases. Every seiyuu out there is going solo, ne?
Hatano Wataru, who recently starred alongside Kaji Yuuki in Kami☆Voice, is releasing his debut single, Hajimaru no Hi, on December 21, 2011. The second track appears to be an ending theme to the anime "Battle Spirits Haoh".
Kakihara Tetsuya has also just announced his second mini album "CONTINUOUS" to be released on February 15, 2012.
We were wondering if he was still on journey, but it seems like he'll be continuing to release albums. =D
The seiyuu over at AXL-ONE have announced the opening of their agency's official shop. The first (and currently only) item up for sale is a 2012 calender.
I wondered why those fancy pictures and interviews disappeared from the profiles on axl-one.com, and wonder if this calendar has anything to do with it.
Hmm.. I'm wondering what shachou Morikawa and his gang are planning to put up in the store next? AXL-ONE t-shirts? XD
A quick translation! This song is super-catchy and I've been listening to it a lot. I'm also kind of fond of track 3, [Shitta Junai 1, chu, 3!] even though I found it kind of funny at first. ^^

Shout to your hopes, Alright, Alright!
Now is that time, listen to the voiceless voice
You too, should understand, I know "DELIGHT"
(DELIGHT) It's boring to just be a bystander
(DELIGHT) Don't stand back and wait your turn
(wo-oh) If you've wished for it
(wo-oh) It's your turn

You, with the future you wish for reflected in your eyes, are a courageous girl, now stepping forward
We continue to exist intermingled with love within this universe
everybody knows DELIGHT, DELIGHT
Go with your instincts, it's alright, alright
Abandon everything else, and become one with your heart
Toward that far-off new world
Take a journey to gather love
In that world, everyone is a stranger
It all begins from here, feel live, feel live
The rules are simple - just trust your emotions
Don't hold back Do! LIVE! more!
(Do! LIVE!) It's not wrong to desire
(Do! LIVE!) It's a very natural course of events
(wo-oh) What you catch

A bewitching shout Becomes one voice The courageous boys now run forth
That courage to show your earnestness, there's no doubt it's called 'passion'
everybody knows Do! LIVE! Do! LIVE!
Feel it flowing, feel live, feel live
There's nothing to fear, just the DELIGHT of chasing the light
Toward that far-off new world
Take a journey to shout out love

The first set of Scared Rider Xechs character songs and duets were pretty outstanding, so I'm excited to see another set of duets coming out. This time the songs will feature each character in a duet with their mecha-partner character things.
Takahashi Hiroki's previous SRX character songs were epically psychotic, so its great to see that his duet (with Okamoto Nobuhiko) releases first!
The song is titled "Roaring to the Moon". XD
A twitter conversation went like this:
@__yasumoto__ Kaji's solo single is the same release date as O+K DVD. Refreshing and chaos (lol)
@YUKI_KAJI No way!? Buy both! (lol)
@__yasumoto__ If I buy 30 copies do I get a handshake from KajiKB (´Д` )?
@YUKI_KAJI You get a hug from KajiKB.
@__yasumoto__ A hug. For real. *beki-beki-beki-beki-beki-beki-beki*
Suzumura Kenichi's album CHRONICLE to the future recently won runner-up award for the CD jacket design.
In the comments Kenichi stated that while he is a voice actor who breathes life into characters, he doesn't create the characters from zero. So creating his albums from scratch was a great challenge. And for this album, seeing the small image in his head turn into the final product was perfection.
The designer is Suzuki Hiroto of Guerrilla Graphics.
A few months back I saw Kaji Yuuki's photo page on shootup.net by following a link from his blog.
It's a promotional site for Casio cameras that features photos taken by various celebrities. The captions written by the celebrities are translated into English, too.
I noticed there were more seiyuu's profiles on the site now than when I first looked. (or maybe I didn't notice them?) Click the button underneath their photo on the left to see the pictures and movies taken by each person-->
