Yeah, the voice credits (for the characters voiced by μ's at least) are listed like, "Ryuuzaki Crouwel (CV: Kosaka Honoka (CV: Nitta Emi))." I found this out a few weeks ago when I stumbled across the album on iTunes and I still think it's pretty strange to see. XD
I haven't played the game so I'm not really sure, but I THINK Nico managed to nab the female lead? Man, she'd be so damn smug about that, ahaha.

Well they're not μ's as μ's, they're μ's as seiyuu for the game characters.
So basically the real seiyuu aren't acting out the Love Live's characters, they're acting out the Love Live's characters acting out the game characters.
Does this sound better? XD
If I interpret you right, Honoka is now a Seiyuu for the game. Lol real group like AKB48 can be Seiyuu, why wouldn't real/fictional group like Muse?! This can be a nice plot for Love Live season 2.

Maybe they had to appear in different manerisms to fit this particular production.
Well they're not μ's as μ's, they're μ's as seiyuu for the game characters.
So basically the real seiyuu aren't acting out the μ's characters, they're acting out the μ's characters acting out the game characters.
It kind of makes my head spin no matter how many times I think of it, haha.

61, 1,589 1,589 Love Live! "Tenshi-tachi no Fukuin"
How did I miss that one? Perhaps because it is music for a game???
Listening to the samples it isn't their best work IMO. Might skip that one.
Whew, at first I thought you were talking about this song
It can't be, because the song is very good imo! :) This is an additional for Vol 3 Blu-ray
。。。
No, this album:
http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00BGE4OWY
Samples can be played. Not sure how much freedom they had with the music or lyrics or if they were just singing the stuff but listening to the samples did not make me want to add it to my u's collection.

The ranking pretty much held stable throughout the week. Love Live vol 2 did get over SAO vol 7 in the last couple days, showing its usual strong tail end. What I'm interested in is whether Love Live 2 can reach 20K tomorrow.
GaruPan came back pretty strong after the restocking issue has been cleared a bit. I'm waiting to see how much both volumes will surpass SAO 7
JoJo 4 had surged over Love Live for 2 days, then downed again. Not sure if it's due to stocking issues of JoJo or Love Live, but that's pretty interesting.
Finally, Eva 3.33 is still running strong. If no big title is coming out next week, Eva can hold the 1st rank three weeks in a row xD Even though sales for vol 3 is down, this should be a congratulatory datum.
Btw, thanks you Ejc and @symbv, glad you are back :)

^ I guess I should not have used "Love Live!" in the name because it is only about the group μ's and not about the game/anime of Love Live. I have corrected the description now.
Thanks. That must be why I didn't see it either, my searches are all for LoveLive!, not u's. And apparently no one who shops for LoveLive! like I do on amazon bought that disc as it never showed up on any of the recommended lists or related products or "other people bought" lists that they constantly throw in my face...

GaruPan v3 continues on ranking now. v4 is back with a nice rank... probably some more have been delivered from residual stock on Amazon, or from another retailer.

Have any of the volumes reached market saturation, or are they all supply-capped?
Vol. 1 is 100% capped, it can't rank at all anymore unless a few stragglers hit the mid-year ranking. Bandai Visual is going to be (or already is?) restocking it at their web store but that store doesn't report to Oricon os the sales wont count. It's been out of stock at Amazon for a long time. It's stuck at 29,300 for BD only, DVDs never ranked.
Vol. 2 last ranked in the 2013 04/15~04/21 list with 349 BDs, but is currently out of stock at Amazon. Currently 31,482 and may or may not go higher before the REs are released.
The deadline for securing (from that encore pressing) a Vol 1 and Vol 2 Limited Edition BD from the Bandai Visual online store is May 12, 2013. It'll be delivered on June 10, 2013. It is sold at exactly the list price of ¥7,350.
After May 12... I guess the only ways to get a copy is by paying the currently inflated prices on Amazon from a reseller or buy the Regular Edition BD or the DVD instead.
