Animedia shows a picture of a new Rozen Maiden doll which will join the rest of the group in Rozen Maiden: Träumend. This means that there will be at least 2 new dolls appearing in the new series. The first one, as most people already know is Canaria. The other, is a creepy-looking doll called Barasuishou (Rose Crystal). At the moment, there is not much information given about Barasuishou except that her power/attack style is crystal-based. In addition to this, apparently, she is the strongest Rozen Maiden doll that has appeared thus far.
Honey and Clover official OST will be released on the 7th of September. Some of the songs that will form parts of the soundtrack include Dramatic by Yuki, Waltz by Suneohair, Mistake by The Band Has No Name, Hachimitsu by Spitz, and Tsuki to Naifu by Suga Shikao. There's no information whether or not other background songs will be included in the soundtrack. However, it seems background music written by Yuzo Hayashi and Salon 68 will be included as well. As a side note, the first press edition of the CD will include a digipack to house the CD case.
In addition to the official soundtrack, Honey and Clover vol.8 manga will be released on the 19th of this month. The limited edition manga will include some character cards. Here's the cover and the Morita card if you're interested. It's interesting to note that Hagu in the illustration looks more like a 19-20 year old girl. Anyway, if you're only interested in the anime, then you'll be happy to know that the 2nd R2 DVD will come not only in a special digipack just like the 1st R2 DVD, but also will include a replica of 'Hagu's Note' that Hagu showed to both Takemoto and Mayama back in episode 2.

Yay! I'm excited about the new Rozen Maiden series. The new dolls look pretty interesting.
That Morita card with the 8th vol is great... kind of gives us a sneak peek of Morita in ep 18. =)
wow, i love Barasuishou's appearance in anime series *-* is totally different from manga o_o but is really nice!!
I think the Rozen Maiden anime director commented somewhere that the story is significantly different from the manga (Suigintou doesn't die in the manga for example)-- Hence, the magazine wonders what role Canaria will play. I'm really looking forward to season 2.
According to Moon Phase, Gotou Saori (relative newcomer, but she starred as Yayoi in Koikoi 7 this year) will be the voice of Barasuishou, and Canaria will be voiced by Shimura Yumi (previously from Mahou Sensei Negima)
