I bought this.  This article described the new album as just "French Pop"
I guess normal people can't handle the whole description.  (^_^;;)

Miyamu was nice.  They're giving away a Miyamu picture as well.
Also a two page article with Miyamu and some guy with facepaint.

Lots of bits and pieces of seiyuu info scattered about in this one.

Also full page color ads for:
  Miyamura Yuko's new CD single (bought that today)
  Two Mix's new CD single
  Girls Be 2nd Album "French Daisakusen"

For singles, Tange Sakura's new one debuted at #62, Miyamu's at #74,
Animetal's at #80, 

"Zankoku no Tenshi no Teese" is at #73, it's 50th week on the charts!

Also, thanks to Hitoshi's recommendation, so to speak (^_^;;) I picked up
Voice Animage vol 12.  Kikko is wench aside, there's a very nice two page
spread on Kuwashima Houko.  I hope I can see Hou-chan at an event by
herself someday.  I like her more than Aya, but because she's always with
Machirin, I never get to express that...

Also bought the new Iizuka Mayumi album, but I won't listen to it for
awhile (the new Genesis album takes precedence right now)
