• “Ich liebe…” (Sung by Hiroki Yasumoto in the voice of Germany) is described as “a complete change from “Vorwärts Marsch!”! A melody that shows bits of Germany’s best guarded inner thoughts ☆”


• “My Friend” (Sung by Noriaki Sugiyama in the voice of England) is described as “a song introducing England’s friends! ☆ England’s friend’s… that means… you will see ♪”


• “Let’s Enjoy Today” (Sung by Noriaki Sugiyama in the voice of England) is described as showing that “England’s fairy rock is still alive! A catchy tune that is just perfect for singing on a huge stage live.””

Both Germany and England’s CDs will be released on May 29, 2013.

The first two CDs in the series - for Italy and Japan - will be released on May 8, 2013. For more information see this post.

Thank you so much to losthitsu for the translation!"

P.S: 'Vorwärts Marsch!' = 'Forward March!' and 'Ich liebe...' = 'I love...'

Now onto Merchandise Update!



My proxy told me the design didn't change, but it looks like I was misinformed and they've officially went ahead and changed the design for the cushion as well (by 'as well' I mean they changed the poster design too;;).


Sneak Peak of GelStraps:

More sneak peaks over on my Order Update Tumblr Blog!
(And I'm tentatively reopening up orders for these gel straps here!)

But on further note, my Animate wave 1 group order is arriving soon so look out for some photos on my Tumblr Orders Update Blog which provides updates (from big to small) on any orders I'm holding!


And a small lil advert for the most recent orders I'm doing ~

• Hetalia Metal Charms, Pouch + Stick Posters

We only need TWO or THREE more claims for the Metal charms to be able to get box 3, 4 or 5!! So please come take a look and see if you're interested in any ;u; And if we manage to get all of those boxes, I'll open up for more!

Aaah need Germany's CD! 8D 'Ich Liebe'... well well well either this will be a list of his favourite foods/hobbies or we may see some lovely ship-tease going on.

Aww and England's 'My Friend' cute!

[dcmkp2.livejournal.com]

OMG those CD Covers look awesome!

[animepursuit.livejournal.com]

The CD covers. So pretty. England...if there weren't so many fangirls after you I would so claim you. I'm not dying for that. Anyway the merch is really interesting. I like the gelstrap and I think Prussia in the middle works better since he wants to be the center of attention. I could see why they would want Hungary in the middle since it balances out but I like the idea of Prussia in the middle better.

I need it too, I desperately need it now that I know it's called "Ich Liebe". Even if there is nothing about a certain Italian, it's going to be about Germany and he's my favorite character and I'm just so excited for this!!!

[dubtalia-ap.livejournal.com]

I do wonder what "Ich Liebe..." will be about. I might be over analyzing when it may or may not be coincidental to Funimation's English Dub when Germany did say, "Ich Liebe Dich" to Italy.

[disneyotaku.livejournal.com]

Germany and England's turn I see! Not gonna lie, I'm so freakin' excited for “Ich Liebe…”!!! “a complete change from “Vorwärts Marsch!”! A melody that shows bits of Germany’s best guarded inner thoughts ☆” if it's anything like Einsamkeit I think I might cry.
Thank you for sharing this with us!

[anubismito]

Thanks for the info!!! The pictures are lovely!! ♥
I laugh because I remember the parody of Germany's CD by Rosel-D... and I find it quite similar O_O

[emsiecat.livejournal.com]

If it's about a certain North Italian I shall melt into a puddle of happy goo! But yes, even if there isn't anything about Feli, it shall be an interesting song all the same I'm sure.

[emsiecat.livejournal.com]

Haha I won't lie that thought did cross my mind like, did Deen or Hima see the dub and think 'yup gotta put that German phrase to work too'

[dubtalia-ap.livejournal.com]

Remembering that he had bought a Kumajirou Hat made by Funimation Entertainment / GE Animation (http://himaruya.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-1259.html), he might known about it. Himaruya has lived in New York for some time, so who knows what he might have picked up?

And not just cutesy pop art styles he learned from that same area.

YAY! I can't wait to the CD's come out!

[boo-sagara.livejournal.com]

Those CD covers are so gorgeous ;o;!!!
And I can't wait to Germany and England's new songs! Specially 'Ich Liebe' because I'm really curious!

I'm trying to understand of which material the characters in these gel straps are made of... they look slim like paper, but that would make then too fragile, right? Do you have an idea of what it can be?

[psanon.livejournal.com]

It looks thin, but not really? The gel straps would be from plastic at least the outside circle part is. It'd basically be a circle pocket with the inside filled with a type of gel + decoration (the inside decoration such as the character and glitter would move around)! Sort of like a snowglobe, but small and thin? Does that make sense? orz

[lildeadkitty.livejournal.com]

It's probably thin plastic with the character printed on, like the same sort of plastic that the outside of the gel strap is, only thinner.

What I've always wondered about gel straps is, what is the gel stuff made from?

[psanon.livejournal.com]

I'd assume some kind of silicon based gel would be inside.

[sne-stjerne.livejournal.com]

Oh, the cover art is so gorgeous! owo <3 And I can't wait to hear the samples - especially the one with England and his "friends". XD

[boo-sagara.livejournal.com]

Ah that makes sense! Thank you ^^!

[boo-sagara.livejournal.com]

Yes, it makes sense!
It's just that in those photos it's a bit hard to tell how depth the characters are, so I can't tell of what that Germany is made of; but like lildeadkitty said, it probably is some sort of thin plastic.
