Happy February, guys~! Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year + Valentine's Day I've personally been enjoying holiday food way too much, haha. Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been preparing for study abroad + I'm involved in my university's Asian New Year Festival, which has basically taken every weeknight away since January >__>;; The performance is this weekend though, so that'll be over~ I leave for Tokyo in mid-March, so I'm hoping I'll be able to start attending events in April & post about it here :D

I have some updates ready to put up, but I think it might take another week or so for me to get them up...Since I've gotten home, I've had to use the family computer, and because all my site stuff is saved on my laptop, I've had to wait >,<;; I'll try to get my laptop connected to the internet again soon, though so no worries In the meantime, I have a couple of questions I'd love to ask all the visitors here. I'm in the process of making a new layout, and with it, I'd like to add a couple of sections, so if you could give some honest feedback, I'd really appreciate it

#1 SITE FORUMS
I've been having quite a few people ask me lately about making a site forum, so I was wondering how widespread that wish really was? I remember trying one out a few months ago, but it got overrun with spam So if I made a new one, I'd have to find some good patches to prevent spam users ^^ What's the best forum software, in your all's opinion? I've used phpBB + Invision Board (which I wish was still free), but I can also try out new stuff if there's something better ;)

#2 SITE STAFF
I've been thinking it's time to add on to my site staff, as most of the old members have become too busy to continue helping out here :/ I wouldn't expect daily updates or anything, I'd be fine with once a month or whenever you have time. If you think you'd like to help, here are the openings:

Gallery Updater : just adding images to the gallery on a regular basis~

Lyrics Updater: you'd be adding lyrics (Romaji) to the Lyrics section of the site

News Updater : this would include posting updates/news about the artists on this site ^^

Media Finder/Uploader : this would include finding media (videos/music) to add in the downloads section of the site & then uploading it (if able to)~

To apply, just email me @ christie [@] kagayakitai.com, I'd love to hear from you :D Also feel free to email me if you have comments/questions that you'd rather not post here.

Hi all :D Today I've got some updates, mostly focusing on Sweet Vacation, but some AAA too~ Since it's kind of the end of the month already, I'll just change the poll/downloads next week when it actually IS a new month XD Also thinking of some new year surprises ;) Have any ideas? Post em!

SAYONARA MY DAYS - DETAILS
I've put up the details for Sweet Vacation's debut major single on their discography page including tracklist & cover images ^^ Also updated the righthand menu with the LE cover. I'm really excited about this release, since it contains as much content as their mini albums (5 tracks + DVD w/ 2 features)~!

RADIO ~ Tabidachi no uta + Magic Snow
I've added Sweet Vacation's newest digital single, Magic Snow to the site radio, so take a listen ;) It's really quite catchy imo, wish they had a PV for it. I also added AAA's song Tabidachi no uta last week for those who didn't notice It's slower, but a nice change from all of their faster paced releases. It's definitely the easiest to understand & really shows off Nissy's vocals + Chiaki & Shuta get parts :D
