[Nayoko-Kihara]

More or less what I hoped for with "Hipparidako", so that's nice (even though we probably won't see [much of] it). I think I like most of these actually, especially "Ijiwaru".

[BerryzCelebration]

Not exactly my ideas for duos, but I love the Onoda/Takase pairing. I'm seriously wondering if Hamaura, Taguchi and Asakura can pull that song off. We'll just have to wait and see.

the next Nama Tamago show is in September, with shows in Tokyo (9/6), Osaka (9/13), Nagoya (9/19).
