Well, thinkingoutloud89, I didn't feel that way though, I got your point, so no worries
I understand the situation that you're trying too explain, but.. I just wanna say, I'm not new into Japanese music, that's why things like this are somehow not normal for me, but maybe it's just me who didn't get used to things nowadays perhaps. Again, I'm also sorry
Good thing that I want to say is at least we have a discussion now, it's fun even though not many people around
Most of miwa threads or forums out there are so quiet, which ended up being closed, but somehow she's still popular, even more.
About how I followed her before debut, it's a pure coincidence, and not really 'before debut' just one week or one month earlier, I forgot. Afraid will be TL;DR, then I will just put it under the Spoiler tag
Spoiler:
That time I was looking for a show to watch, then I found an interesting list of artist in a show called Music Fair. I'm a big fan of alan, and also new to Nishino Kana, so that time (2011?) that performance consist of 4 artists: alan, Nishino Kana, miwa, Leona Lewis.
Thank God the performance is still around. I LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE SO MUCH.
During that time, actually, this is a rare video, but somehow I managed to get it. My first thought was "miwa who? Oh another YUI copycat, hopefully will have a better career than Tsuji Shion (another YUI alike, but appeared one year earlier than miwa)" and don't really care much.. until this performance. I was simply amazed. Then after that, she performed 'don't cry anymore' and again, I was amazed. I started looking for her info everywhere, and learned that she was going to release a debut single, which makes me wonder, how is it possible? Usually after the release, then they got a chance to perform, or maybe I don't know much.
Soon after that, I ordered her debut single, and continued looking for more info about her. I managed to find a lot of things about her, which made me surprised, like she has released some self-made singles, she has debuted as a duo rapper with her younger sister, and many more. That's what made me got into her, until today
Anyway, about that concert PV (Stress Free), like I said before, miwa did that before (Ikutsu ni Natte mo), so actually no surprise there. An album with some unique genres inside? guitarium had it, remember Merry Go Round? It's an auto-tune.
Btw, the lyrics for new single is
here, how is that even possible?
