hitomi yaida love!!
 

alright, so i just downloaded hitomi yaida's album air/cook/sky. and i must say, it is an amazing album! she is a wonderful artist and i adore these songs. my favorite songs are kodoku na cowboy, chain and are you ready boy. anyway, just wanted to spread some love! hitomi yaida rocks and deserves some recognition! ^___^

are her other albums as good as this one?

[oh shoot! i'm such a dork! i posted this in the wrong forum. can someone move it please? thank you!!]

Yep, YAIKO definately rocks. I haven't heard her albums other than Air/Cook/Sky though, I only have her Single Collection/YAIKO's selection. But she sure knows how to use her voice, and she's so energetic in lives, the one concert I've seen of hers is amazing, even though all she has is a plain stage, 2 sets of casual clothes, her guitar and her voice. She doesn't need any fancy costumes or flashy effects to get her audience's attention and participation.

Anyway, my favourites off A/C/S are 'are you ready boy?', 'CHAIN' and the last track, which I can never remember the romanisation for.

And did you know 'Air/Cook/Sky' is an anagram of 'YAIKO rocks'?

Anyway, she's got lots of other good songs too.
Check out
- My sweet darlin'
- ANDANTE
- Look back again
- Life's like a love song

Some of her PVs are pretty cool too.

Kev, that'd be "kono koi wa mou shimatte shimaou". ^^;;

I liked her new single, "MONOCHROME LETTER". Nice ballad.

Her albums are good. I'd recommend "Candlize", it being the other Yaiko album I have. It's a little softer and less energetic than "daiya-monde", but it's solid. "i/flancy" is also good for "I can fly", which is literally a classic Yaiko song.

she is frickin' awesome. i've been into her stuff for a couple of years now, and air/cook/sky is a terrific album.

my fave songs are creamed potatoes, i like, and b'coz i love you.

go YaIKO!!!

I'm getting AIR/COOK/SKY for Christmas (Already ordered) because I love CHAIN and the samples of Mama to Teddy Bear, Hitori Jenga & Kodoku Na cowboy.

When I go CD shopping Tuesday I'll be looking for daiya-monde, Candlize or any of the singles from those two albums. I like ANDANTE too...:)

The first song I heard by her was ANDANTE and I thought it was horrible, since I saw it with the PV, and I turned it off. When I was checking out j-fan.com samples I became interested in her because she was so much different from the usual Ayumi Pop stuff...

I LOVE the ANDANTE PV, it's whack. And cool.

I think it was her clothes that sort of turned me far away from that PV...o.o

Which reminds me, I need more Yaiko PVs. And "i/flancy". Or maybe "Yaiko's selection".

Does anyone have CHAIN's PV? Or does she have a clip collection with it?

so long not hearing yaiko lovers here... i love chain n hitori jenga...
i dont have the pvs of chain.. but i have seen it on MTV... ^^

wow that's neat!!! :D

does anyone know any good fansites with pics??

that is neat, i didn't know that.

I like Yaiko. She's one of the better jpop artists, imo.
I love Hitori Jenga, that was a great single. ^^

Wow! I finally got my first Yaiko CDs! I got Candlize and Air/Cook/Sky, and out of the 8 new Cds I got, Candlize would have to be my favorite. I love it! Go Yaiko! There isn't one track I don't like, and it's such an interesting album, with really different instruments.

My girlfriend and everyone in my family can't stand her and they call her "the Hyena" but I think she has a great voice, a little different, but still wonderful and fresh. Air/Cook/Sky is also good, but I haven't listened to the whole thing yet. Though I haven't listened to Chihiro Onitsuka's Ultimate Collection yet, this is the best album out of the other seven (eight including Oni's).

Anyone that hasn't heard Yaiko yet, buy this album, now!

I love Yaiko so much. Candlize is definitely her best album, and her last single was amazing. Both MONOCHROME LETTER and uma to ninjin are awesome songs.

I went to one of her concerts in Japan last June and she is such a good performer. She didn't lost energy throughout the whole thing and jumped around the whole time, played guitar and harmonica and piano. She was so adorable.

Any recommended concert dvds Linzy?

I've only seen Music Pool 2002, which was pretty good. Not to mention it comes in a live CD/DVD package for a pretty good price.

I also saw her a few times in the summer vacation this year. 2 lives and a 'secret live' on her birthday. She was amazing live, never slowing down with a lot of energy.

The DVD of her latest Osaka/Tokyo Dome Tour is coming out in Feburary so I think that will definitly be worth getting.

I saw that at Kinokuniya and I didn't get it! ><

But I did get Candlize and I love that album. :D

*might get that for birthday or her newest live*

I LOVE yaiko but I hate her engrish ahahha I'd rather not understand what she's singing at all. Her voice is unique. I'm not much into her full albums because unfortunately she does have some forgettble songs but her outstanding tracks are awesome. Mikansei no melody is her best song to date in my opinion. Because of that I got into Yaiko. I had the Candlize mp3s before but they didn't strike me that much. Listening to i-flancy was what made me get into her, not that i-flancy is better than Candlize (it has much more forgettable tracks) but it's just that the great songs are far superior than most of those in Candlize. I guess it's because songs like Over The Distance (yawn) bores me to death and it turned me completely off of the whole album. But it was not long before I realized some of my favorite tracks were also in Candlize, Buzzstyle, Life's like a love song and Look back again. I'm still a bigger fan of DAIYA MONDE though, now that album rocks my socks!
