On January 14, 2008, the Animelo audition theme song,
"Niji Iro Amazing Smile" version 1 went on sale.
This song is sung by the three girls who passed the first audition,
Itou Asuka, Wakabayashi Yuki, and Kariya Rimoko.
The girls don't have a group name yet.
The version 1 CD was a CDR, with the labels handwritten by the girls,
and each girl tried to sell 50 CDs.

This event was being filmed by the staff, and it was going to be
broadcast on the Internet.

Just before 14:00, the three girls and the staff went to Akihabara Station,
and shot a short video. Then they went to the table in front of Gamers,
and started selling the CDs.
Each CD was 525 yen, and they also had a CD case (holds 10 CDs)
for 1050 yen.

It was a partly cloudy and very cold day.

Asuka and Yuki wore white jackets over their outfits, the same as the
previous Animelo event.
But Rimoko was wearing a kimono, as it was her "coming-of-age"
(seijinshiki) ceremony day today.

Those who bought a CD were able to get their photos taken with the girls
(with their own cameras), if they wanted.

I bought 3 CDs of each girl (for a total of 9 CDs), and one CD case.

They are planning a similar event on 2/17, where they will sell
version 2 of the same song, assuming the girls' singing improves.. (^_^;
