i don't think it's really cancelled yet. maybe postponed? :shrug but i don't think it had a tie-in.

I'm guessing it just got removed from sites because it has sold out, amazon actually has a cover up for it, looks like it is still coming out.

Kinda a weird cover, but I kinda like it.

very creative! :D

HEE?! the cover is weird...is that real? its really different with her other works

it looks like ayu's fly high single, which has no lyrics slip,

but still, its a creative cover!

oooh, I'm really liking it.

Is it the real cover?

yup, it is :yes

It's a weird cover Oo

new layout is going up now, looks like some parts are still a work in progress. YOU is out at KMC as well.

even though the song is kinda...dull compared to her first 3 singles, it's a nice ballad. i prefer upbeat songs more for MiChi though. and btw, i think YOU gets released on September 9th.

I like the cover quite a bit...
When is it being released?

^
^ official site now confirms the single's release date (9.9) and that YOU is up for streaming at Yahoo! SOUND STATION.

new promo pic

^ For a second I thought that was a mug shot! O___o

i like that hairstyle on MiChi the best. but yea, it's so...plain, lol.

Mirari Noah took my words xD She looks nice, but why the hell does it look like a mug-shot of her.

lmao It really does look like it could be a mug shot. What a terribly plain promo pic :/

Lol, I honestly thought it WAS a mug shot until I read that it was a promo pic...

YOU is okay.. it's kind of boring though. that picture = :tired
she doesn't have make-up on does she lol

for some reason, i really love how YOU sounds. It's beautiful for me. And when i heard it for the first time, Hillary Duff suddenly came into my mind. lol

PV preview is up now.

I like the sound of the song, and the PV is kinda pretty looking xD I'm disappointed there is no KiSS KiSS xxx remix that's gonna be included though ;-;

that's so cute! that winner will be so lucky :grumpy

YOU PV will air soon @ SS

Can't wait to see the full pv. :D

wow...finally new PV from her...

yea, i can't wait either! i just love the song :D

http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/4297398/
new song, "RaiN" will be the ending theme for the japan broadcast of the second season of damages.

She has another new song announced? Wjfiwnfoebfoebf

95 music also has an album, "UP TO YOU" CD and CD DVD editions listed for 9.30 hope that gets officially announced soon, really want to order it.

That's not too far away. Hope it's official :)

i'd love to get the album :weep

i wanna see the YOU PV already :P

Oooo, album. I wants. But I has no monies. :cry

Nice that she has a new song. ^^

And I hope she releases the album in September. :)

should be up soon

FINALLY! i'll have to watch it much later, though :(

Thx for posting the new pv. I am going to watch it now. :)

The song is really different from what she's been doing. But I like the sound of it. Not as super catchy as KiSS KiSS xxx, but I love it. The PV was simple, but so cute and beautiful.

the PV was simple yet creative. i absolutely LOVE all the outfits MiChi wore. she looked so cute!

YOU GOTTA BE (accoustic ver.) is now being released through i-tunes

YOU (MS live) thanks to j0009pop

thanks. MiChi did a nice performance :D

thanks for the performance kakumei. You is not one of my favorite song but I like how she performs it in live. ^^

The beginning of the performance was a bit off. Something about her voice during that part bugged me. The song itself is still nice, I still want to hear a full HQ version of it though first.

Is the single out yet?

Btw, I don't like this song too much. Maybe it's because it's kinda a new style for her than previous songs.

the single comes out on september 9th.

yes yes yes it's finally up

CD http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AICL-2055
CD DVD http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AICL-2053

the temp. tracklist has 11 tracks named so far

　

so no "RaiN", "YOU GOTTA BE (acoustic version)" or "Something Missing" yet. unless they save "Something Missing" for a single after the album since it has a huge tie-in with the game and MTV. probably won't end up getting YGB acoustic, but I want it.

wow, up to #7 are all the songs we've heard already :( i hope they add some more tracks.

^ It says 16 tracks. So that's only 11 announced or speculated so far. I'm so happy about this album coming out though zomgzomg. MiChi is a fabulous artist <3

Woot! Awesome! Now if only I had the money to pre-order....

I can't wait for this album! Does anyone think they'll release a Hong kong version of the album?

Wait, isn't Why Oh Why, YOY?

i dunno if it's ever been confirmed, but i assume so, lol.

i'm ready for debut album...hopefully there will be overseas version of her album, so i can buy it...

album cover

....are they serious? the "mug shot" from YOU...just...in color? :grumpy

oh i see...

well, i hope the album's good? :P

i have no doubt that the album will be good, haha, but the cover...compared to the singles covers.... it's just a tad bit disappointing :tipsy

the concept is cool...but i don't know about the execution
it looks kinda bland

Finallt her first album!!
I hope it'll be good.

Oh god, not the "mug shot!" :cry

I like that hands nail, and that diamond on MiChi or whatever it is. I don't like the font placement or the mug shot.

full tracklist:

I thought it was 16 tracks? Oh well, I guess Why Oh Why isn't YOY after all. So that leaves 7 heard tracks, and 7 new tracks. Yay :D Disappointed WoNDeRLaND? and One of a Kind are included though x.x Didn't really like those B-Sides.

most sites still have 16 songs listed, though. so maybe there'll be hidden tracks? :shrug

At least there's going to be seven new tracks. :)

I love YOU now. Took some time to grow onto me. YOY and YOU (version 3.1) needs to grow onto me now. Those two tracks are weak sadly.

^me too...YOU need a lot of time to grow on me
but now..i'm lovin it, i play it on repeat for 30times yesterday

Yeah, I wasn't really a YOU fan when the PV came out, but now listening to it, I think it's a really nice song.

One of a Kind's going to be on the album? :/ Didn't like that track.

looks like HMV is giving out 5 signed photos to winners by application if you buy the album from them.

omg those are so cute! i want that shirt :P

anyway...

so 'up to you' is just the japanese version of '**** you and your money'? how disappointing. i don't like Something Missing either

i didn't even know! i thought up to you was a brand new song :laugh

omg UP TO U is so amazing XD IDGAF what anyone says <3 AMAZING. Now to listen to Something Missing.

Something Missing is also amazing :3

thanks for pfull song. I hope there are great

The limited CD+DVD of UP TO YOU is now out of print. Thank goodness I pre-ordered mine early xD

just listened to the new album. out of the new songs, i like MadNesS Vol. 1, RaiN, and Shibuya de Punch. i'm not feeling the other new ones. i'm a bit disappointed

just finished download the album...
can't wait to hear it
by the way
Michi debut album, debuted at position 5 on oricon chart daily...
i hope it can rise...

YAY FOR MICHI AND HER BIG SUCCESS XDDDDDDDDDDDD

to be honest..her album tracks is not powerful at all
i'm just listening to her single track...
but still wish the best for her debut album...

I'm a bit disappointed too =/
The only new song I like is Shibuya de Punch (well, maybe the new version of Why oh Why too). The other album tracks are quite weak and bland...

^ Nice set! It's really pretty.

The album tracks weren't what I was expecting. They don't seem to have the same energy to them that her single tracks do, but I don't really dislike any of them. Shibuya de Punch is really good.

#5 is great considering how her single sales were. please don't let it fall too far during the week :weep

People on here are disappointed, but people on last.fm are satisfied with the album. Why won't my copy get here ;-; I can't download it because I don't wanna xD

^ since when do opinions on last.fm matter?
i read some people who enjoyed it on JPM tho.
anyway some of the tracks are growing on me. i'm liking "Something missing" now. but i really hate the lyrics to "oh oh..." lol

I actually like Oh Oh... and Why oh Why, I'll listen to the other tracks later. I WISH HER THE BEST!! On a positive positive note, she's one rank above DAI? :D

Btw, has it been mentioned that Michi was/is Uniqlo's face?

http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/deview/63019/

And CM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUztMpDB1PQ she looks very pretty there.

http://bayonetta.jp/
MiChi x BAYONETTA CM/promo is finally up



album should be here today ... can't wait anymore ... so want to download it. ;)

excite interview

count me in with the lovers of the album :heart: and the PB is GORGEOUS, some so-so scans from me (last two are from the CD booklet):

omg the PB looks awesome! i'm glad sony treated MiChi well with her debut album! i'll be downloading it this weekend, lol.

omg the PB has some really good pics. some of them would make much better covers than the official one they chose

Thanks for the scans! I really love the album. I don't get why so many people are disappointed with it.
