I love this new album :love My fave track is Please Stay With Me. I'm kinda surprised when read the lyrics...
"I just simply long to see you | And my tears fall because of this… my love | The night drifted, and I convey a sigh | Please Stay With Me..."
Maybe we can consider it as broken heart song :laugh

I feel difference between HITS and previous YUI albums.. All new songs sound more mature, and I love YUI with this 'new' style. I'm not saying I compare HITS to another albums, her old works have their own great style and this new one is also same great in different way :yes

About the album duration, I won't say much since TBH I don't really understand about technical things :dead2 But in my opinion duration of the album HITS is enough, neither too short or long. Yes the tracks flow is kinda weird with upbeat and slow songs listed randomly :tired

I actually, like, enjoy HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN lol. Really happy since YUI has been on my **** list for awhile now. I even enjoy her version of 'I do it' more when I didn't like Stereopony's lol.

So far Cinnamon, es.car, again, GLORIA, Kiss me, and Driving Happy life are my favourite tracks

"to Mother is certified Gold for shipment of 100K copies"

Woww, i can't believe it!! Good job YUI

kinda expected that she will get #1 . She already outsell AKB48 almost 3:1 :D

Please Stay With Me (Music Clip Offshot)

Good to know that :D

I hope she won't drop much tomorrow..

thanks~

#1! :D the sales look good so far!

Oh wow she beat AKB48. Good for her!

I'm quite surprised about YUI's sales - we thought AKB48 would sell more, but what really happened there? I think YUI is moving in the right direction there...

she hasn't released an album in almost 2 1/2 years so of course a lot of people are expecting her return back like me & my younger sister :o

she has gotten quite a sizeable fanbase after her breakthough hit Goodbye days . It didn't got #1 but that was the song which propel her to even greater heights

Yay!!!!!!1 She sold more than AKB48, i'm so happy

Like I said before, the best album of AKB48 is a re-issue, it's already released before, and only 4 new songs included this time.
If I'm not mistaken, the song in this best album, is still the old songs, with the old composer, I heard that AKB48 already hiring a new composer from I-forgot-which-single era, that's why their sales is high recently, I think it's the reason~

As for YUI, like Karen said, it's already 2 1/2 years, so many people expecting this~
Anyway, go YUI! :D

Oh, I did not know about that - AKB48 is doing a re-issue; when was the original release date for that album? I know it was earlier than 2010, but anyone knows about it?

[2008.01.01] SET LIST ~Greatest Songs 2006-2007~ (SET LIST ～グレイテストソングス 2006-2007～)

That's the first release and the original title, you can read the further information by clicking the link :)

Btw, any of you already got the copies of YUI album?
I'm so curious about the photos inside...

I wouldn't get my copy til next week or so . I preordered the Taiwan press / CD + DVD yesterday as Sony BMG weren't able to give me an answer when it will be out here locally ~_~

well Taiwan press will be out tomorrow

So I think they just revised the album - they kept the songs there, and then they added it to reflect new favorites, and revised the title to reflect the changes... I think it might be a slight (not a full-blown) duplicate there... :yes
