[Matsushita Yuya] The 2nd thread ~ digital single Whisper my name (18.10)

[Beauty4123]

i hope it won't drop too much! but he's doing MUCH better than his first few singles, lol.

[Bigtop]

At least it's getting better, but he needs some more improvements before he can prove himself a real competitor...

yes because his 1st 3 singles never had any tie in promo (from what I know) & things really changed a lot for him after Trust Me was released

anyway Paradise single is up for download -> http://ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2625297

The B-sides are nice ! Jin Nakamura's a genius . Loving Loved kinda reminded me of a Koe ni Naranakute part 2 without Sista's vocals

I thought Kimi no Koe was going to be a ballad but guess not :x

Secret Love's omg

[Beauty4123]

i just heard the b-sides, and my most favorite song would be Secret Love. that song is amazing!! i really like the other 2 b-sides, but i wanted more upbeat songs and not mid-tempo-ish (i think Kimi no Koe was more upbeat, though ), since Paradise is mid-tempo. but they're all still good songs, lol. i hope yuya will bring a hot song as his next single! but he still hasn't really disappointed me yet!

[KarenPang]

yeah Secret Love is probably my fave B-side outta the 3 because wow it's just so catchy if not very infectious

Loving Loved is pretty & it does remind me of EXILE's Lovers Again to a certain extent , especially the beginning

then again I'm not surprised at the comparison since both songs are composed by Jin Nakamura

I know Paradise has been barely released but I already want another new single & let alone a 2nd album hahahaha

[Beauty4123]

haha, i want a new single, too! i can already imagine a hot PV! maybe after one or two more singles, we'll get a new album?

[KarenPang]

yeah hopefully his 2nd album will have more album tracks because I AM ME only has 4 new songs after you - away the introduction , 3 interludes , 5 singles , the 2 digital singles & 3 B-sides

but B-sides wise , I really hope Secret Love will be included because I mean it's a great song :p & maybe L.o.L might be slotted in ?

We'll see because Matsushita Yuya + Jin Nakamura = unstoppable team xD

[Beauty4123]

if they include any b-sides, it should definately be L.o.L & Secret Love!

but after so many tracks in I AM ME that were already heard, i hope the album has lots of new songs! at least 7 or 8? the more the merrier, lol.

btw karen, the rapping in Secret Love is done by SHUN, right? that's a guy? because the voice doesn't sound so much like a guy's voice to me...

[KarenPang]

yes the rapping in Secret Love is done by SHUN whom I guess it was the former vocalist of EXILE because SHUN also rapped on 1 of Shota Shimizu's B-sides called Again which's found in GOODBYE

I was told by my sister SHUN doesn't really rap but rather he was 1 of the 2 lead vocalists when he was still in EXILE

The lady voices you can hear in Secret Love were sung by BRIGHT

[Beauty4123]

i know the girls were BRIGHT, but for some reason, i kinda thought SHUN's voice wasn't so...manly for some reason, LOL! maybe i need some sleep.

but anyway, the song is still so amazing!

[AyUta]

Oh um...i thought there was only one girl rapping in it :O

[KarenPang]

BRIGHT

SHUN

er honestly in Secret Love , I tend to hear more of BRIGHT rather than SHUN's vocals LOL xD

[Beauty4123]

i've heard of BRIGHT before, but now that i actually hear them in Secret Love (which i'm still listening to today! ), their voices seem to go very nicely with yuya's voice!

honestly, i think this will be my favorite b-side of yuya's singles! i liked hallucination & futari last year, but those ballads just can't compete with a hot song like Secret Love!

[KarenPang]

yeah Secret Love is 1 of MY's strongest B-sides & it's fast approaching to be 1 of my fave B-sides tunes of him

L.o.L from Bird / 4 Seasons is also great , I sure hope that can be included in his 2nd album

I dislike Close to you from LAST SNOW initally but O.M.G after I saw him performing that song live , that took a 360 degree turn xD

[KarenPang]

Paradise's peak position overall , week wise

#13 with 7,764 copies sold

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/w/more/2/

it did much better than Bird / 4 Seasons <3

at least now MY can lodge top 20 positions , unlike in the past where his stuff debuts at the lower half of the top 100

[Beauty4123]

very good! i'm so happy for MY!

[x-megumi-x]

Just listened to his new single <3
Secret Love is awesome O_O Too bad it wasn't the main song, a PV for this would have been amazing

this Aurelie !

tell me about it , Secret Love is da bomb & it has a lot of potential to be a full A-side release

wouldn't hurt for MY to release Paradise / Secret Love together , right ? xD

I just hope Secret Love will be available in his 2nd album , just like L.o.L too !

[Beauty4123]

OMG! i found a performance of Secret Love!

too hot! even though you can't really see too much of yuya, probably because of the quality.

here's an excite music interview, too:

yuya still looks hot, but i really hope he won't grow out his hair or style his hair like this again, lol. he could keep the same hairstyle from Paradise FOREVER and i wouldn't mind. he just looks the best that way.

[KarenPang]

O.M.G @ the Secret Love performance D: @_@

it's definitely 1 of my fave B-sides of MY at this point in time for sure

really man , you put Jin Nakamura + MY together = magic happens like Secret Love <3
