[JASMINE] The 5th thread ~ 1st mini album JASMINE2.0 (Now on sale)

[thinkingoutloud89]

I wonder if we'll get even more soon. Love the new song, I'm hyped.

[Bigtop]

Aya Sugimoto? Is that her real name or it's just the song title?

[thinkingoutloud89]

^Seems to be a J-Pop star from the late 80s

[//ABEST]

WOW she looks hot as fuckk

that song is so good! it's so JASMINE-like, so good ��

[Corvina]

Her fanclub closes end of August, which probably means her contract with Sony is ending.
As she teased with us new music, she either already has a new contract with another label or she is going indie.
Either way the 'My Love' teaser indicates something else is coming.

The new song is alright. I like the style of it. I was just excited to hear something and I hope to hear more soon. I love following her Insta because I appreciate and enjoy her urban aesthetic. Today I saw her name come up because she liked a 21 Savage picture I was looking at and it was such a pleasant surprise to go to her page and find new music this time.

The beginning of the new song reminds me of the Stranger Things intro song

Arama wrote more about Aya Sugimoto (be it song or the person herself)

Why am I not seeing the option to download the tracks off Soundcloud? Am I going blind?

[oaristos]

I'm glad to see her releasing anything at all. I even though her contract with Sony had ended ages ago...
I miss her music, I listen to PURE LOVE from time to time to remember how good she is and how poorly her record label managed her career after GOLD.

Soundcloud has a quota of free downloads. After it exceeds the limit, the button dissapears

[ayu_ready?]

some fans claim Aya Sugimoto is a song that has been there for 2 years, that Jasmine has constantly actually performed in clubs
the song is okay

I hope she puts new music, even without Sony! all Sony's acts are super boring now!

Out of all the big record labels , I always felt that Sony Music has been the worst

The way they market/promote their artistes at times are always questionable & if they want to make $ from fans , certain things they did definitely doesn't show

Also it's so out dated that they only allow their artistes' PVs to be viewable only if you're living in Japan . Why they can't be like Universal where their artistes' DVDs are region free ?

I agree, it's just absurd. Making matters worse is YouTube Red that affects not only Sony (if it isn't blocked outside of Japan, but it's still blocked in the countries that have YouTube Red, specifically the USA, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and Korea) but a number of other labels (e.g. Victor, Teichiku, Nippon Columbia) and certain specific acts (e.g. AKB48), but yeah, I don't know why Sony's still in some kind of a 'protectionist' mindset...

(I even see a YUI fansite complaining about the Sony BS that Karen is talking about as well. Yet why am I still listening to Nogizaka46/Keyakizaka46, both part of Sony?)

Come through Jas

Noticed her showing it on her Insta story.

[thinkingoutloud89]

^Saw it this morning. I still love the song, but that video is tragic.

I still think the song is just alright so it was hard to sit through it just to watch the mv. I think the mv is also just alright. I just can't vibe with her styling in it. Jasmine looks so great in the everyday styles she posts all the time but I never get how that can't translate to stuff like this well lol. I just kept staring at those lashes when she has the blue lipstick. And then the outfit with the silver skirt is a no. And the editing in general is too much.

But I'm still happy it exists

The upside is that both PVs can be viewed without any region code restriction unlike JASMINE's past PVs

[Bigtop]

^ If that's the case, then is JASMINE no longer tied up to Sony or something? Did her contract with Sony lapse without any action?
