@ Karori I was searching the PV and found a 50 seconds video on youtube.

Hanabi is a very beautiful song. The PV looks nice but i think it's a bit boring^^

HANABI sounds really good! :D

Cannot wait for the whole single to be released... I want it NOW! :D

HANABI is probably her best song in YEARS. Very lovely.

^not in YEARS but in this last 8 years...since 2002

Completely agreed :yes The more I listen to it, the more I love it.
IMO, one of her more recent best songs is Sakurairo from TRIP. I'd say it was her last song that touched me a lot. But now there's HANABI. And Garden is also a lovely great song :luv2
It seems like the old Rina's back! :D

Rina Aiuchi retires from entertainment industry
http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/6...ina256x300.jpg
Singer Rina Aiuchi unexpectedly announced her retirement on Friday during a fan club only event RINA MATSURI EVE -20 dai saigono yoru wo issho ni-” (Rina Festival Eve -End The Last Night Of The Twenties Together-) in Osaka.

She told the 1000 fans who had attended the event that “Before I sing the last song, there is something I want to tell you. I, Aiuchi Rina, have decided to retire from the entertainment industry.”

“I want time to look at myself from now on. When I decide what I want to do in the future, I will let you know.”

Aiuchi debuted in 2000 with the single "Close To Your Heart" under the Giza Studio label and has released 32 singles, 7 original albums, a best collection and 2 remix albums over the past ten years with consistent success and several No. 1s on the Oricon charts.

With her 30th birthday on July 31st, she has decided to "reset" her mind and body. Part of the reason is her health, which has been a problem in the past. After talking with her doctor and her staff, she felt that retiring was her best option.

Her last album "LAST SCENE" will be released on September 15 with her final concerts being in Saitama on September 18 and Hyogo on September 26.
