Utada might have a higher priority there because Utada's going on hiatus at the end of this year, while miwa's only a rookie in her professional career! Maybe miwa could have a spring tour, sometime in April or May, depending on her school schedule...

^ miwa needs to release an album first before preparing a new concert.

I keep an eye for miwa dayo, just wait~

EDITED:
By the way I found this message in the website about DoCoMo thingy and the new song perhaps. (http://55gokaku.com/pc/board/detail.php?thread_id=1)
If you check the first post, miwa written on it, so it's her message?

FYI, entrance exams are a big deal in Japan, there's an insane amount of pressure on students to perform well in them.

I see, thanks again tenshi :D
Since the username written miwa, I thought she herself wrote the message, since the video is there.

So, 10 more minutes to miwa dayo!

Bigtop 8th December 2010 10:54 PM

Do we have any updates?

mellody 9th December 2010 02:22 AM

I got small amount of info~

I heard she added Otoshimono as an encore song, and the rest is all the same, from the person who came to miwa yade.

No photos yet about the concert.

Ikimono Gakari to take a break in 2011

Ikimono Gakari vocalist Kiyoe Yoshioka (26) announced on Wednesday night that her weekly radio show "Ikimono Gakari Yoshioka Kiyoe no All Night Nippon" will be ending with its December 21 broadcast. More importantly, she apparently confirmed that the band will be taking a break from performances during the first half of 2011.

A rumor was published in newspapaers last month that the band would be going on hiatus for the first half of 2011, but the band and their record label issued public denials at the time. The band's leader, Yoshiki Mizuno, previously said that the members had discussed focusing on writing new songs, but that they would continue with their live activities.

It is now being reported that Ikimono Gakari will indeed be focusing on writing, but will not be doing any concerts or live performances. The length of the "hiatus" has not been decided, but a source says that it will be half a year at most, and that the band will fully resume activities by July. Their performance at Kohaku Uta Gassen on December 31 has been declared as their "last" for now.

The timing of the decision seems odd, given that they are currently at their peak with their recent best album "Ikimono Bakari ~Members BEST Selection~" getting certified by the RIAJ as reaching 1 million copies shipped. However, Yoshioka said, "We've run too far so we would like to take a rest. Please forgive our selfishness."

Ikimono Gakari has three more concerts left in their current tour, beginning with one on Thursday. It is expected that they may deliver more details to their fans at those shows.

Okay, so I've heard ikimono-gakari's going on hiatus soon, so how about this: During her hiatus, maybe sometime in March she could be releasing a new album?

I heard that there's going to be a new album soon: it's going to be called "441", and it is named after one of miwa's old songs, and there's some things that are going to be in. Obviously, this song is going to be remastered and "modernized" for the March 9, 2011 (tentative) release date, and it might contain the song that is part of that NTT docomo project-thingy (that college thing), and maybe more...

But right now, it's only a rumor/speculation...if anybody can find verifiable sources to verify information, please let us know. But in any case, I think it's time for a new album - four single's already enough for an album!

mellody 9th December 2010 03:20 PM

^ It's from 2ch, I read that too.

However, don't forget she's also releasing a new song (which will become an album track or new single, still no info) next year.

If...
  • ...it's a new single, so maybe we will get an album after 5 singles, and she needs to promote her album by making a PV for non-single track. <--- It's only my wish LOL.
  • ...it's an album track, so the song will be released in new album, the song will help to promote the album, and it's a good way to promote miwa as well.

What I want actually is she releasing new album ASAP in CD+DVD format.

adantatu2 9th December 2010 11:23 PM

I want a CD+DVD album with all her PVs.
I hope is true

NintendoHTF1242 9th December 2010 11:36 PM

^ I would assume the DVD of her next album will have all her PV's (unless she decides to not include any of them).

mellody 10th December 2010 02:15 AM

I also hope don't cry anymore PV is there, since no DVD for that single...

Bigtop 11th December 2010 12:37 AM

Thanks for sharing! Maybe can't wait for the modernized 441 next spring!

mellody 11th December 2010 06:05 PM

441 described as a pop-rock song that kinda similar with chAngE, I believe it's pretty good XD

Also, I found a long interview : http://blog.uta-net.com/miwa/

Soooo curious, it's killing me, maybe tenshi can help :P

relmy 11th December 2010 06:19 PM

Whaa, hi! I can't believe I've only just discovered her songs.
Don't cry anymore is one of the most gorgeous songs I've ever heard, it's come into my life at just the right time. It's perfectly bittersweet, a good song to cry too but it's so uplifting too. ;__;~

I hope she releases an album soon, I'll pre-order it straight away!

mellody 11th December 2010 06:22 PM

Have you try the piano version of don't cry anymore then? It's a pure bliss~

No info yet about new album, but she already releasing 4 singles, the next one maybe an album...

NintendoHTF1242 11th December 2010 08:26 PM

So, I sort of discovered that "don't cry anymore" changed my life :) So I think miwa is one of my top favorites atm <33

adantatu2 11th December 2010 11:54 PM

:yes I agree. Don't cry anymore and miwa came into my life at the perfect time. I'm going to buy the single in the new year if an album doesn't get announced.

Summary:
-Otoshimono was already an older song of hers, but the drama's staff heard it and liked it (and chose it)

-Otoshimono already had the theme 'wanting to bring back the importance of things you've lost', but she combined it with the theme 'wanting to save animals' lives + not wanting to give up' after she read the script.

-About the 1st theme (='wanting to bring back the importance of things you've lost'): after her debut, when she was drowning in work, she lost sight of herself and couldn't be sympathetic to others. She realized she was growing distant from her friends. She learned not to take things for granted.

-While she writes about personal weakness for the first time, she also added messages of courage in the lyrics.

-She can play the piano.
-She loves ballads, and made a lot of them before her debut.
-Otoshimono has gotten good responses (which makes her happy).
-She wants listeners to realize that the important things are fragile and transient. Don't take them for granted.

-Usotsuki's lyrics are based on personal experience.
-(usotsuki means 'liar') The lair in the lyrics is both herself who pretends to be tough and doesn't share her true feelings, but is also the other person who pretends not to know.

-She prefers mail over (telephone) calling, because it's quicker. It's handy when you're busy but want to stay in touch.

-She added the piano version of don't cry anymore, because she wanted to show how much she's grown since her debut. And because she sang the piano version live before and got good responses.

-She often reads books and manga for inspiration. She's also written sings while reading fan letters.
-She always writes with an 'ink pen', and not with a ball-point pen.
-Makihara and Matsutouya Yumi have influenced her lyrics.
-It's really difficult for her to combine university and work during exam weeks.

-She has friends at the university from before her debut. Some of her songs were born out their girl's talk.

-She wants to perform at JCB Hall one day (because she saw Sheryl Crow perform there).
