Quitting Music?

Over the past few months, it has become more and more apparent and likely that Takahashi will be quitting the music business. In a recent blog post she made (her blog is now unavailable for some reason), she bid "see ya later" to everyone with hopes that she can see us again. Also, her official fan club has shut down, and she is no longer promoted by Stardust (Stardust lists she terminated her contract with them for personal reasons). Her quitting music has not been confirmed yet, but, also due to very low sales, it seems likely that she may have also been dropped by her label.

Song List Update

In wake of the downtime that has come after the release of Takahashi's 3rd album, I have taken the time to update the Song List page with all songs from "PICORINPIN". Expect the rest of her songs to appear very soon.
