I never had interest in Drops for over 3 years.. until now.
Until I just happened to see a video of the "girl on the right".
The "girl on the right" is Nonaka Ai, who is currently releasing
three CD singles in a row (August, September, and October).

The August CD is "Cheer Ruga", a very cute song.
Fast, catchy song.  The promo video is EXTREMELY cute.
Cute actions, cute dances.  Instantly turned me into an Ai fan!

After watching that video, I started going around to the
used shops in Akiba and Nakano to find the used CDs/DVDs
of Ai (and Drops).  Still didn't go after the Negima stuff,
as there's too much of that.

Ai's recent CD info at:

"Koi no Museum" is her latest single, a very slow song,
but still very cute.  The PV for that is cute too,
but I prefer Cheer Ruga's PV.

Drops CD info at:

  http://www.usagi.org/doi/seiyuu/groups/drops.html

All of the Drops' CDs come with a DVD.

You can download the mpegs I made of the song parts from
videos.usagi.org/seiyuu/drops/

I have Ai's PVs at videos.usagi.org/seiyuu/nonaka-ai/

Among the Drops' songs I like "Furare Kibun de Rock'n Roll" the most.

Now I can honestly say that I'm a "seiyuu fan" again.. (^_^;;;
