its basically a very quiet, almost abstract album.
Maaya only features on a few songs, most of which are on Nikopachi.

Really though, its a lovely album.
Soooooooo relaxing! :)

^really? I'm so tempted now.
Just an Update:
If any one else is interested in hearing 23ji no Ongaku I uploaded it here



EDIT: 3.21.07
30 min. Night Flight has leaked, if anyone wants to sample the album, I uploaded it: here

Wish me luck guys, I'm getting some wisdom teeth pulled today, but at least I'll have new Maaya Music to listen to while I do it. :)

PS: I also edited the first post to show 30 Min. Night Flight in Album discography. Took the singles down though, they were too big. XD I may put 'em back up later shrunken, when I have the time. :)

*bump* let's not let this thread die!

those of you who has heard the new album, what do you think?

I think 30 min. Night Flight is really relaxing. I've listened to the album all the way through, but I've been so out of it, I can't tell which track I was listening too. XD XD XD they all sort of blend together in a nice way.

i love the title track cuz it's sort of upbeat. the other tracks are very true to maaya's style - very relaxing and nice.

^I gave another listen to Universe and it was so beautiful. :)

*bump* any news on 30 Mins. i.e. ranking/sales/charts etc.?

omg i didnt know it was a sakamoto thread im hooked on that song "Grapefruit" lol

The mini album sold pretty well its first week, at least in my opinion these are good sales for Maaya :)

^I agree, I'm glad it's doing as well as it's doing!

Ooh, a Maaya thread :3

My first song was Kazemachi Jet. Yes, became a fan last year :O

I like her new mini-album a lot :] The title track is amazing.

I loved 'action!', such a cute song very fitting the second Clamp in Wonderland video. <3 I can't wait to get my copy of her newest single 'Saigo no Kajitsu (preordered it from yesasia). I hope Maaya has a new album out soon, it's been a while since Yuunagi Loop!

Her new single "Saigo no kajitsu" hit #11 on the dailies for its first day! Not bad. =]

Whoo! An update!
Awesome, there's a song by ROUND TABLE too.
And the CLAMP Precious Songs sound good too.

Yikes, her new single fell to #15...as long as it can make top 20 in the weeklies it'll be good. =]

I haven't heard Maaya's new single yet - I hope it's good

Well, her latest single さいごの果実/ミツバチと科学者 managed to stay in the top 20. It debuted on the weeklies at number 19 and sold 8,468 copies.
