    I've listened to this single a few times now and I think this is probably my least favorite release from her~ It's just not my style this song, but I'm glad she's doing well tbh.

    Saba Kaido ranked 3rd, up from 8th last week on the Enka singles chart. So it has been in the top 10 for three of the four weeks it has been out.

    Cross-posting this from the Wasamin thread. Release announcement from Wasamin staff blog and Tokuma official twitter....

    Iwasa Misaki: Saba Kaido 'Memorial Edition' to be released August 23rd.

    New release will have new c/w tracks and new DVD content.

    Limited Edition tracklist
    1. Saba Kaido
    2. TBA
    3. Momen no Handkerchief (live version)
    4. Saba Kaido (karaoke version)
    DVD: Saba Kaido PV (Memorial edition version)

    Regular edition tracklist
    1. Saba Kaido
    2. TBA
    3. Ito (live version)
    4. Saba Kaido (karaoke version)

    This actually isn't a bad idea when you consider Wasamin's release pattern. Wasamin has traditionally released one single per year, and promotes that single ALL YEAR until the next release comes out, unless there is an album release which has happened once every three years. So for her fans who regularly attend her events, this means that they are continually buying the same single all year. However, this changes it up a bit and at least gives the fans something new to purchase, not to mention it will probably come with new photos, new covers, new prizes to send away for, and of course the FOUR new cover tracks. So it is a total win. And I would guess that it will not affect her release pattern and we will still get a 7th single early next year.

    Well, I definitely look forward to the B-side tracks on this "new" edition. I hope she does stuff like this again. I always love hearing her voice and "new" songs are welcomed~
