I'm sorry to revive this thread with terrible news, but here goes...
Mami Kawada is retiring from music. She announced the news at LisAni Live on January 24th, along with the announcement that she will be holding a final concert, titled MAMI KAWADA FINAL F∀N FESTIVAL "F", on May 21st. She also released her final single Contrail ~Kiseki~ this week, and commented in an announcement on
BARKS that "she believes that this single is appropriate to be her last single because Contrail has both a refreshing and positive sound. She says that she was able to put her last message into the lyrics of both these songs. Her message combines both "sky" (Contrail) and "future" (Halfway). She hopes that everyone's future lies up in the sky." (Translation by Treize at I've Sound Forum)
I hope there will still be some release celebrating Mami's awesome career and discography before she is gone for real, she deserves that much. Ugh. She was my second favourite I've singer, so I'm just...
