Last year TV anime "Keion!" of TBS group beard economic effect.
TV anime "Keion!" finished broadcasting in last summer beard new market.This is the anime which network mail-order "Amazon"'s music best seller section got the CD market related with of 7 of the top 10.Even there is the state that CD can't sell,this CD had a success
!music store was indebted to their success.

Akiyama Mio's favorite goods headphone"k701" who charged bass guitar became boom at first.This news was picked up by net news and each music store kept been a shortage of stock on May, 2009.And this movement has continued to the expensive instrument for general consumers.
At first, model of Akiyama Mio "JB62/LH/3TS" from Fender Japn had a big sales.According to a sales agency "Kanda syoukai"Stocks of about 4 months was sold out during two weeks from the middle of April. Furthermore,about order of two years are flooded now.
and number of sales like Tumugi Kotobuki's keyboard"TRITON EXTREME 76"(Discontinued Products),Yui Hirasawa's guitar"Gibson 2008 Les Paul Standard" increased except drum set. Cosplayers accepted a part in this sales increasing.They get same musical instruments of character for a costume play.

Of course, some of them are satisfied with that but some of rest tries to cosplay their performance(?).
So seller put -1 track without part in "Keion!"'s CD or sale band-score.Maybe I'm going too far that market development is center on anime... . I can't help feel such a possiblity.

※"Keion!" is a story about high school girl who joined light music club with being crisis of abolished club and struggle to head for
live of school festival. original was published in monthly magazine "manga time kirara"(houbunsha)After first broadcasting of the second of April created a big sensation by net into the center.
