Maaya Sakamoto is one of the most well known voice actresses and singers in Japan, her clear, crystalline voice brought out the personalities of a range of characters, from the androgynous Ciel and Ryougi Shiki to feminine heroines such as Aerith. She has been performing many theme songs for Clamp anime series such Card Captor Sakura and Tsubasa.

Magic Number is the theme song for Kobato, one of the cuter and more relaxing Clamp series. This is an upbeat, cheerful song that makes you feel elated and energized.

Arashi is out with a gentle song. My Girl [Limited & Standard ed.] is the theme of Aiba's drama My Girl. The song portrays the love between family members, gratitude and the affections for a very special lady. The coupling song, Tokei jikake no Umbrella is an edgier dance beat. Get a taste of the boy band's two very different style in one package.
