Yahoo! Japan News

Yahoo! Japan cites Nikkan Sports News' article about her current situations. To sum up the article:

Because the reasons are not mentioned, a stir has been created in the musical world. A possibility of some kind of trouble over the release of the Singles Box has been pointed out by some.

MUSIC ON! TV

According to SKY PerfecTV! Guide magazine published monthly by Tokyo News Service, Ltd., MUSIC ON! TV (a satellite TV channel formerly known as Viewsic) will air a program featuring Chihiro:

  1. June 16, 0:30-1:30 a.m.
  2. June 16, noon-1:00 p.m. (This second one should be a repeat.)

Again, I imagine this will be a collection of her promotion video clips. But I'm happy to know that she has not fallen into oblivion.

NHK Nodojiman

Chihiro's songs are often sung in NHK Nodojiman, an amateur singing contest broadcast on Sundays. Today, one of the contestants sang "Gekko" and got a pass. According to my observation, contestants who sing Chihiro's songs are somehow more likely to get awarded than others.
