Wow, this thread died!!

I just got her new album "You can't catch me" yesterday, I really like, I don't think it's as epic as Kazeyomi, but its got some fantastic tracks, particularly "eternal return", "Himitsu", "Utsukushi hito", "Kimi no sei", "Mizumi" and "Topia".
I haven't listened to the bonus CD yet, but I plan to do that later on today.

Has anyone else ordered or listened to the album?

AyuGAME · #**122** 17th January 2011, 07:00 AM

I haven't download it yet...
is it good? i will download it today...

Earth_maiden · #**123** 17th January 2011, 07:28 AM

It's really amazing, has a bit of new stuff, but also carries that Maaya flavour that we all love. I wasn't very fond of her latest single "Downtown" either, but I find myself listening to it more than I'm listening to the whole album.

AyuGAME · #**124** 19th January 2011, 03:38 PM

really solid album...very easy listening as usual...

Yeah, I think that way too but those nice tracks kinda cover some flaws of the album

The second CD is great too imo the lives are perfect and her voice is as great as ever XD

I still want to get my hands on her Kazeyomi and GIFT lives. I do wish Maaya produced overseas versions of her works, but hopefully I get them one day.

Its Maaya who got me into Japanese music and Jpop, particularly with the songs "Kiseki no Umi", "Yakusoku wo Iranai" and "Yubiwa" (guess where I heard those?).

Is there no Maaya love in this forum? T_T

I got "Driving in the silence" today, it's a really nice mini album. Maaya has been pretty active this year, with her full album "You can't catch me" out in January, 2 singles out in October and November, and now the mini album, it's been a very good year for Maaya fans.

And the DVD that comes with the album is really great, it's labeled as a "mini movie" but it's basically the PV's for the songs 'Driving in the silence' and 'Sayonara Santa'. The videos are short in the same castle and surroundings as the pics in the booklet.

AyuGAME · #**128** 15th November 2011, 01:21 AM

^i love her music!!!

it's weird that Buddy didn't make it into Driving in the silence

Damita · #**129** 21st November 2011, 01:13 AM

I love Maaya too! I just got You Can't Catch Me (2CD) and Driving in the Silence (CD+DVD) a couple days ago. Driving in the Silence makes me very happy when I listen to it. I guess it's really a Christmas/holiday CD haha, which I usually don't like, but still. It's all original music and Maaya even wrote one of the songs (perhaps the best song on the album).

I have a feeling we'll be getting another full album soon as well. Maybe within a few months.

Earth_maiden · #**130** 22nd November 2011, 05:51 PM

I like the new album, but I think "You can't catch me" is the better of the two. Mainly for Himitsu, Itoshi no Hito and Kimi no sei.

I still need to get the singles Buddy and Okaerinsai, but I can't decide if I want to get the regular or limited editions. I really don't listen to live CDs at all, so it might just be a waste of money for me... but I love Maaya and I try and collect her limited edition things when I can...

Has anyone seen her live DVDs? I haven't seen them yet but I want to know what they're like. ^_^

Earth_maiden · #**131** 3rd July 2012, 05:16 PM

*airs out thread*

So I pre-ordered "No more words", the CD+DVD edition.

Here's a clip of the radio rip of the single:

It sounds so amazing, it reminds me of older songs like Hemisphere and Kuuki to Hoshi.

Earth_maiden · #**132** 2nd August 2012, 04:33 PM

No one cares about Maaya.

Well, she's having a string of concerts in November and December, and I'll be in Japan from the 27th, so I'm hoping to go and see her on the 30th. But it depends on when we're seeing Ayu as well, so nothing's planned.

"More than Words" PV clip:

Unless someone else posts, I'll talk to myself again in a month!

**Yoake** · #**133** 2nd August 2012, 07:47 PM

More than words is a nice song. I like the pv. Deko Boko March is amazing too. The arrangements are really well-done. You really hear a train in this song. As if you're traveling toward a beautiful place.

tenshi no hane · #**134** 3rd August 2012, 07:57 AM

I like Maaya's work but I tend to forget checking up on her haha so thanks for posting, Earth_maiden!

More Than Words is really beautiful

Earth_maiden · #**135** 8th August 2012, 11:34 AM

I was bored so I decided to take a picture of my Maaya collection:

Spoiler:

Hoping to find her live DVDs in Japan... as well as attend her live on the 30th of December, depending if the ticket re-sellers have them...

Karori · #**136** 9th August 2012, 08:54 PM

I like Maaya too! Too bad I didn't see this thread before *sigh*
My most favorite songs by her are Yakusoku wa iranai, Platina and Tomodachi

Earth_maiden · #**137** 26th August 2012, 05:27 PM

New release: Single Collection + Mitsubachi

Release Date 2012/11/14

Spoiler:

If that Blu-ray contains many of her old PVs, I will seriously go out and buy a Blu-ray player.

**Yoake** · #**138** 26th August 2012, 05:43 PM

Good to see a new compilation.

Earth_maiden · #**139** 23rd September 2012, 05:01 PM

So I splurged and bid on some tickets to her 30/12 concert. Noppin won't bid on tickets until they can confirm they're more than 14 days before the date, so I have to wait until tomorrow to see if they're confirmed. BUT OMFG I'M SO EXCITED!!!!

Earth_maiden · #**140** 2nd January 2013, 02:12 AM

I saw Maaya live on the 30th, I will write up a full review later, about to head out the door to go to Disneysea.
