Having put out a best-of album, February 2008’s “BEST OF D-51,” J-R&B duo D-51‘s next release for the year won’t be on store shelves until July 2nd. The single, “Travelers Of Life,” follows “Sepia” (released on 2008/2/6) and is currently featured in the Calpis Water CM starring popular actress Masami Nagasawa. Prior to “Travelers Of Life,” D-51’s single “Forever Friends” (2007/2/7) was also selected as the Calpis Water CM song. (A bit of music nerdery: Switch the 2/7 release date of “Forever Friends” and you get the 7/2 release date of “Travelers Of Life.” Both are Calpis Water CM songs. Coincidence?) Let’s hope the upcoming single charts as high as 2005’s “NO MORE CRY” (theme song for the second season of Yukie Nakama‘s J-drama “Gokusen“) which got up to the #2 spot in Oricon’s rankings and remains their top-selling single.
