nao 3rd single!

nao will be releasing her 3rd single on 12/22/2010 called ぱすてるチャイム/ふぁ~すと∞いんぷれっしょん. Both songs are from the upcoming PSP RPG ぱすてるチャイムContinue (Pastel Chime Continue). The two songs translate as Pastel Chime (ぱすてるチャイム) and First∞Impression (ふぁ~すと∞いんぷれっしょん). First∞Impression is credited as バンビ・アイ (Bambi Ai?) feat. nao. The single will also come with a video of Pastel Chime and there will be a first press pre-order bonus of a B2 poster (!!!) with two different sides: one with nao and Bambi Ai and another with a game illustration. By the way, I can’t seem to find any information about this idol.

These lyrics are from ear copies I found here and here. I’m waiting for my single to listen to the full song, so I can’t double check the lyrics or romaji. I’ll edit this when official lyrics come out. Thank you to those who have transcribed the lyrics and shared them =)
