Minori Chihara – Character Song Vol.2 [Nagato Yuki]

Haven’t been doing music posts regularly, because I’m waiting for October to come.. LOTS of things to post/mention ^^. The threesome(Haruhi, Mikuru and Yuki) from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, released yet another character single on 30.09.09. I picked up Yuki’s character single since I know I prefer Minori Chihara’s voice as compared to Aya Hirano’s. Oops XD.
Track-listing of the character single:
