Discuss!

I think I remember Juan, wasn't her music like RnB-ish ? the single she released as Juan was titles Call Me or something with Call , was it not?

She looks sexy, I'll try as long as she doesn't just release bland R&B crap. :P

meh...I've seen better :P But still very interested in what she'll come out with :yes

She doesn't look that good for a gravure model... Lets hope she can sing

woohh...i doubt she can sing well...no preview?

^ Not yet, but the CM featuring the song will air in a few weeks.

If you can track down her Juan stuff, you'll get a taste of how she sounds, though.

^sorry..what is juan?!

Yea she released a mini album called "Call Me Back Boy" that was released in 2006. I posted it in the DL thread awhile back. She also released a single titled "SAYONARA" and an album titled "Beautiful" back in 2005.

^ Yeah I remember that mini album. Her vocals are okay. I wonder why she's now debuting with another name? Hmm. Guess Juan wasn't what she wanted it to be? :shrug

owww..i get it..juan is her old stage name...

Curious to hear her

I'm curious as well...

Cover+tracklist is out:

You can also hear a bit of the song in the "koi suru BRA" CM.

^the cover is really eyecandy...

I totally thought that said "Yoko Ishida" and I thought 'She's not new!" :laugh

^ That's actually what I thought at first too.

The pv leaked @ Jpopsuki^^

I heard a song by her when she was under the name Juan, and I really like that song. I hope her other releases will be good too!

PV's on youtube. the song's so much better than I was expecting. I had it on a loop for several hours last night, haha. <3

I watched it and I actually really REALLY like it <3 soo I might just pick this single up haha.

the new song is great, it's definitely a huge upgrade over her "juan" stuff. her previous look & songs were both kinda cheap :o

The new song is really good & her vocals sound a lot better than they used to.

she looks good & IMO has a better body the the average gravure model-wannabe singer, but looks-wise you can definitely tell she's a gravure idol as opposed to "just" model when it comes to wannabe-singers, if you compare her to the likes of Yu Yamada ...

Wow, the song IS good. I was expecting total crap, but her vocals aren't half bad, and the song is pretty good. But the PV is totally "Look I'm hot buy my single kthx" haha. I hope this does well!

sound samples are out:

01. Missin' U [ listen WMP ]
02. Can't Stop My Love [ listen WMP ]

I think the b-side is very good too, if not better. I'm a big fan of the 80's synth sound and this song has it. I'm pretty sure technically it might be a A-side, I'm certain when she eventually releases an album this song will be on it too.

both songs are actually very good, I wonder how the single did? anyone know if it made an appearance in the top200?
the song has a visible campaign attached to it so it might have sold more in downloads and mobile sales tho.

hope she'll announce a new single soon :D

^ the single, unfortunately, failed to chart. =/

^ yes, I've uploaded it on both KMC and in the downloads section.

In the PV she looks kinda like Leah Dizon... at least for me ._.
Although I don't like R&B-like music the song is kinda nice...

no one deserves to fail to chart :\ that's pretty sad

I wish her the best :)

the new song is good ; i m surprised she changed her style completly

^I don't really feel like she has changed that much from her Juan days. She still sings pop/R&B music and is half naked all the time.

^I know. It's a really nice song but I think the reason it flopped was because of the lack of promotion. I think the public would have liked the song because it kinda has that Soba ni iru ne laidback R&B feel to it.

I'm surprised it didn't chart at all; I was expecting it to be like #187 or something. =[

^LOL! #187 would have been better than nothing!

new single out July 30th. the a-side will feature a pop/R&B sound.

^ yay for new single. I hope the b-side too is as good as on her debut single :D

single's called "Changes." also, the cover is now out:

I loved the single Missin' U. I can't wait till this come out. Should be great! =]

I love the cover but I am not feeling the font. Can't wait to hear it

tracklist is out:

01. Changes
02. darling♥
03. Changes (Instrumental)
04. darling♥ (Instrumental)

wow i love it <3

there is a preview of the PV and both tracks on Yuko's official site.

also, it seems the c/w is called "darling♡," rather than "darling♥."

Ooh i'm lovin' the preview. Looks like her PV budget hasn't changed much despite the failure of Missin' U. Glad to see she finally put some clothes on^^

Btw, I was wonderin' when they'd change that layout for her site. I like it!

The PV looks okay (can't really tell), but the song sounds great! I hope this one manages to chart.

I didn't know Yuko had an official thread o_o I just found out about her the other day and I instantly fell in love :luv2 I LOVED Missin' U. I need to listen to the second track of the single though, because I wasn't too impressed with it. I love her voice <3

From the PV preview of the new song, it sounds really good =D For some odd reason, it remided me of an ERIKA song :laugh

if people weren't aware - the PV is out already on dailymotion. The video is nothing special but the song is amazing. I like the mysterious sound it has!

I only downloaded the first track from "Changes" single, can't find the b-side...but I'm loving the A-side! I hope she comes out with another single soon, I'm liking her music so far.

if it hasn't leaked fully before then, I'll upload it when I get my copy.

You rock. <3 Thanks so much.

I hope she can get some more promotion for herself...I think that's the main problem. =/

It was leaked here: http://japan-roll.blogspot.com/2008/...es-single.html

^_^

oooh yukoooooo i love her so much!
how did the single actually do? did it chart?

No, the single didn't chart. =[

^ that's so sad :(
she really needs more love..!
