A PV!!! XD



omg i love this song. i will listen over and over until i get tired of it (AS IF!!)

^ Personally right now I think it's a blander version of 'FREE'. But that's just me I guess. :|

[elepop]

"Destination Nowhere" is awesome. I'm not suprised, I've LOVED everything she has released so far! I wonder if it's gonna sell well though. Because of the recent incident... hehe.

you suck






haha, jkjk, i still luv ya (you have olivia set!! YAY!!!!)

[UHPlus]

i just knew that Destination Nowhere is composed by COZZi...the same composer who wrote quite a few songs for YUI ...

i starting to imagine YUI singing the song instead of ERIKA >_< cuz i dun feel the song as all even though i loved FREE a lot!!! ....maybe because erika sounded like she has water in her mouth when she's singing ...


edit...just found out 'Stay with me', 'FREE', 'Time to go home' were ALSO composed by COZZi >_< ...

i think she's trying to go the 'YUI' path..

[stickyrice]

I also thought of YUI when I heard the song which isn't a bad thing since I like YUI^^

well, they're both alike in alot of ways XD


who else did cozzi compose for? he sounds familiar...

[elepop]

Well, if she's going in the YUI's path, she's definitely rocking it more than YUI herself! Actually, I do like YUI's music style... A LOT. It's just that her voice is really irritating. Maybe I need to get used to it. I used to hate hitomi's voice, but now I LOVE it. I wonder if this could also happen to YUI for me.

And sora, lol. I don't think they are that alike apart from having the same role as Kaoru Amane! XD They seem to be totally different!

Nah I agree. It sounds a bit bland, cookie-cutter pop-rock. But then I doubt she'll steer away from this direction. Sony is not known for experimenting and taking risks.

YUI sucks, I hate her lol. DESTINATION NOWHERE IS PERFECTNESS BETCHES! Oh my god it's so damn good. I can't stop to listen with WISH (by ARASHI) and Aoku Yasashiku (by Kobukuro). The song is perfectness! Perfectness! Perfectness a lot. All I was waiting for, most than I was waiting! One of the best songs of the year.

i meant that they also had a connection between them for closed note XD


also, her voice has changed recently. it used to be kinda squeaky high, but now it's kinda...'matured'...almost like ayu =3

YUI DOES NOT SUCK *blocks you*

[cloud♥honey]

Oh sorry sora, but I had to spread my opinion. Well I don't think the same. Erika isn't trying to be like YUI or OLIVIA and stuff, her songs are different than the others. Destination Nowhere is different of YUI's and OLIVIA's music stuff.

Sony is not known for experimenting and taking risks

And why they released FANTASY then?

[Raleigh]

FANTASY was a b-side and also it's predominantly pop with some electro undertones. It's nowhere near experimentation. If you want to see some serious experiments look at avex. Though they might not always be successful they like taking risks. Seriously I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to fit her in the niche of YUI and OLIVIA. And Destination Nowhere seriously sounds like something Livi would sing. It's not the end of the world anyway but bashing YUI won't get you anywhere, apart from getting her fans annoyed at you.

And her stage name's ERIKA. Dun-dun-dunnn.
