The Official Maaya Sakamoto Thread

[~Matt~]

OMG and she's working with Yoko Kanno once again since 2004 o_o
this is gonna be something

[Chandrachan]

Sugoii a new single!! ^^

[Yoake]

I love Maaya Sakamoto!
I want her new single^^

[~Matt~]

Maaya's "Triangler" (#10 @ this week Oricon weekly chart) has already sold 65,674 copies!

This is her most succesful single since "Kiseki no Umi", which sold 66,340 copies back in 1998 o_o.

For sure next week this single will become the best-selling single of Maaya's career.


Congrats to Maaya ^o^

Wow, kiseki no umi's her best selling single? Didn't expect that.
But then Triangler must be really good too!! Go, Maaya!!!

[Melon Panda]

If Triangler has good sales, hopefully her next album will too.

[~Matt~]

Triangler has already 72,024 copies sold in 5　weeks charting, so... it's already Maaya's best-selling single ever

[Kaiouforever]

Wow, congrats to her! My favorite song by her is Tune the Rainbow, I'm gonna check out her new single and see if it compares. ^_^

Yep, same here!

[Melon Panda]

I also love Tune The Rainbow. There was another song I really liked that was used in the Escaflowne soundtrack, but I don't remember what it was called.

Yakusoku wa Iranai? or Yubiwa from the movie?

I like tune the rainbow too, but there are others that I like more...

The last Maaya album that I fell in love with was Shônen Alice

[Yoake]

thanks for info!!!

It's true that thread is lost!

[rookies]

^ To be honest, I've never heard any of her songs before and I don't know much about her or her music,

but I just thought this thread could use a little revival.

[Yoake]

O.O
You should listen to her. Her voice is really good.
You should listen to the songs she did for Escaflown.

[rookies]

^ Which songs did she sing for Escaflown? That's the anime right?

[Yoake]

Yes it's a anime. For example she sings the opening yakusoku wa iranai.
I like empty the pocke, Aoi hitomi.

But my favorite is Hikari no naka e! It's a beautiful ballad

I knowed Maaya before Ayu. She is a beautiful voice but she never pushed me into Jmusic like Ayu did it!

[sora-kara]

maaya was my first jpop person!
i forgot this thread existed.

other great tracks from escaflowne:
kaze ga fuku hi
call your name
yubiwa

actually, her two compilation albums, hotch potch and nikopachi, are pretty good introductions to her work. but she has a lot more than those offer.

[Yoake]

I don't really like call your name. But yubiwa and kaze ga fuku hi are too nice!!!

Her collaboration with Yoko Kanno made her best album I think
