good sales!

is it a good album? haven't listened yet.

~Inori~ · #3 8th June 2009, 01:54 PM

^Lol. It's a single not an album.But yeah it's pretty good. The B-side "Sea" is too amazing for words.

keikeiaznqueen · #4 8th June 2009, 01:59 PM

I absolutely love her single. Good that she's putting out great material again!

thanks for starting a new YUI thread Mishelle & yes I agree with you , Sea's ACE

it's nice & not to mention surprising that she has decided to make a PV for it

***koumori*** · #7 8th June 2009, 02:31 PM

Wow! I haven't heard about this new single! ;O

It's great that Yui's releasing one, yay! I want to listen! XD And she's making a PV? o-o Wow, she's really going for it isn't she~ ^_~

I love the single covers! ^o^

**ayumisrael** · #8 8th June 2009, 02:34 PM

Yay, new thread. ^_^.
Will just quote my last post from the last thread:

I'm so glad for YUI =D.
The single is good and she is having a really nice comeback.
I'm glad the break didn't make her japanese fans go though that wasn't really that long break anyway.

yup she has already shot a PV for Sea , you can see some footages of it via http://listentheworld.wordpress.com/...-pv-is-coming/

it looks simple & kinda fitting especially with a song title like Sea

no word on when it will be released though

yeah & even my younger sister was screaming away when I told her YUI's finally back with something new

especially since she's such a diehard fan of YUI & not to mention she's the one that got me interested in jpop & let alone YUI's music too

Ah, yes! ^^ Well, Yui's never really gone for huge huge PV productions..none that I've watched anyway >o>;

Hmm ==; I'll have to go and start being active on Japanese music news sites again to find out the dates as soon as they're released! It's embarassing that I didn't even knew a single was coming out! XD

I'm a bad Yui fan..-sweatdrop-..LOLL~

KarenPang · #11 8th June 2009, 02:43 PM

lol it's ok , it's better late than never in not noticing YUI's back finally with something new

I hope she can release a new album this year

if not I welcome a compilation album where she consolidates all of her ~YUI Acoustic Version~ songs that she has been doing since Tomorrow's way

if she can do that for a B-side compilation album ala MY SHORT STORIES , why not for this idea ? I will buy a copy if this idea materialises in the future

***koumori*** · #12 8th June 2009, 02:48 PM

Her other compliation album sold well, but if she's making a sort-of comeback, will she do another one? o-o I mean, usually artist's make a new album and then release a compliation album a few months afterwards when they've secured their comeback place in the charts, and know they're still popular...but if this is just a summer single with no album, I guess a compliation album might come about ^o^

I wouldn't mind one to be honest, I love her ~Acoustic~ songs. I know I'm missing a lot too ==; So it'd be great if I could buy them like that, haha~

KarenPang · #13 8th June 2009, 02:55 PM

er that's the thing I really don't know

have to see what STUDIOSEVEN Recordings have up their sleeves on this but I do hope a new album will be released this year

cos I LOVED YESTERDAY had 3 singles so maybe this will follow suit ?

& yes her acoustic songs are fantastic , I really like all of them , helps that I'm a sucker for acoustic tunes haha xD xD

***koumori*** · #14 8th June 2009, 03:02 PM

Three singles before an album like I LOVED YESTERDAY would be good <3 I really liked that album! :'D My favourite songs from that are Daydreamer and Am I Wrong <3

Another album like that would be amazing! ^_~

it's funny a lot of people didn't like I LOVED YESTERDAY & that goes for my younger sister too

to me , I will not consider it as my fave (that will be CAN'T BUY MY LOVE for me) , it's just that it took me a LOT to remember how the album tracks sounded like & that goes for ARASHI's Dream"A"live & KAT-TUN's cartoon KAT-TUN II You

you can imagine the duration of transition for all 3 artiste's albums to shift from HATE mode to OK/like mode xD

***koumori*** · #16 8th June 2009, 03:33 PM

CAN'T BUY MY LOVE was a good album too -nodnod- One of my favourite ballads by Yui, Good-Bye Days, is in that <3

I haven't listened to either ARASHI or KAT-TUN >o<'; So I don't know if their albums sound similar or not >->;

Haha~ Well, I didn't really like MY SHORT STORIES for a while, until I properly listened to I'll be. After that, the rest of the album grew on me XF

yup & I suspect after she released it , her popularity has shot up to even greater heights after Good-Bye days

LOL

both bands's material are totally different . KAT-TUN's more towards the rock side though

haha I got MY SHORT STORIES for my younger sister . I like some of YUI's B-sides but not all of them are good

& also the DVD contents & the sticker are incentives for me to get the album at that time

btw thanks for the PM you sent me , I appericate it

***koumori*** · #18 8th June 2009, 03:44 PM

^ When I first listened to Yui, I didn't think she would be so popular in Japan. I loved her simple acoustic style and her sweet voice, but I didn't know if it stood out so much in the fast-track Japanese music industry. However, I guess everyone fell under Yui's spell~ She's so popular! ^o^

I've heard a lot about both bands, especially now I've joined AHS. I might have to listen one of these days, but I'm putting off getting music-obsessed until my exams finish XD

Unfortunately, I haven't got the money or time to keep up with DVD offers and to properly buy albums. This summer...I'm getting a job! XD

And no problem about the PM~ ^o^

maybe because people can easily relate to her especially since she came from a humble background just like ayumi

also the way that she present/market herself , it's not like those flashy & in your face kinda image going on in YUI which people don't feel so intimidated at all

oh if you need recommendations & etc , I'll be happy to help in due time xD xD xD

it's on AHS that I found even more of my future jpop acts & especially Johnny's ones too

so I owe a great deal to the place

***koumori*** · #20 8th June 2009, 04:06 PM

Yes, most of her song covers and PV's are pretty simple and to the point. Yui never really gives off a flashy portrayal of herself (No offence to Ayumi, Kuu and all the other singers that do ^o^''), it's nice just to have a change. I guess since most, if not all, of her songs have a definite guitar strum all the way through, it's comforting as well to know her exact style~

Ah, and I'll definitely come to you then for reccomendations! XD In the summer, you'll be swamped with requests for new music from me ^_~ Haha~ In England, there is no advertisements for Japanese music at all or any mentions of Japanese artists (Or any Asian ones in that matter), so it's hard to discover new music. I discovered Ayumi through luck, and others by luck too~ It's easier now because I've learnt about the Internet, but most of my friends aren't into Japanese/Asian music, so I don't know where to look XF

Yes, AHS is a great place! I love it here~! <3 XD
