I want it only if the ending theme animation comes with it. It's pretty funny. I doubt I could listen to the song without it.

Yeah, I agree with you 100%... they definitely need to do this more. I just spent a fortune getting the latest Shugo Chara CDs mailed to me.

Yay! Now I can finally use up my Japanese iTunes gift card!

For whatever reason, theme songs from the obscure anime always seem to end up on iTunes but not the popular ones. I bought the gift card so I could download the ending to Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto~Natsu no Sora~, and haven't been able to find anything to use it on since.

Actually, it's being made available in the American iTunes store. No foreign gift cards required.

Yes, more Japanese music outside of Japan is extremely good. I tried starting a Japanese CD collection late last year, but it was such a financial burden I quickly dropped it. Prices are lower outside of Japan, so the more Japanese music that leaves Japan, the better.

I'll probably buy this song as soon as I get to the latest episodes and actually hear it (I'm still playing catch-up with the 8-old-episodes per week thing; today's update brings us up to episode 56).

Very cool, too bad it's such a horrible song. If it wasn't for the great animation for the girls (and really, Naruto does NOT need a "catchy" dance routine...) it would be entirely forgettable.

I really loved Hinata, Ino and sakura in it. Rock Lee and naruto disturbed me a bit though. It's a good move still. Even if the song is annoying though. I hope it extends to regular Jpop too and not just anime songs. I would rather have Namie Amuro's new album then Yuko Goto's new song for an anime I don't even like. So I hope it does well and can expand.

Actually, I got it off a different site that I thought might respond faster (Since I was impatient, haha) Though the site turned out to be pretty good, in retrospect I feel like I should have bought it from Jlist since I trust them a lot more.

Yeah, I just noticed that. I'd say, "alas", but I think I still have an American iTunes gift card to use up too. Anime hyper

But really, this is exciting, not for the song, but for the prospect that they might sell more like this on iTunes. I'd much prefer to own the actual singles (I have quite a collection of the stuff Geneon and Bandai released here), but it's a much better alternative to paying $20+ to import a single with 2 songs on it.

Amuro Namie has been on the US iTunes for ages.

I know I was just using an example. Ok I'll replace Namie Amuro with Kanon Wakeshima.

Its about time that they started doing this. Hopefully its not crazy insane. Japanese CDs are like $50... I hope their MP3 downloads aren't gonna be like $4.
