RE: 'More Than Words'- Yoko Kanno and Yuho Iwasato Return in 2012

I don't think you can compare the budgets available for Utada Hikaru music videos with the ones for Maaya. There's only a limited amount of money available for less popular artists, unfortunately. Maybe I chose a bad example. I'm not necessarily talking about expensive vids. Hikkis other PV, the on...

RE: "In the Silence" Concert DVD / Blu-ray out in May

In the "Making of", what shrine is she praying towards? Probably something to do with Shintoism.
And at least the Pocket o Kara ni Shite part seems to have had the fans involved.

RE: "In the Silence" Concert DVD / Blu-ray out in May

I came to a point where I have to say that Maaya Sakamoto really needs to improve her dancing skills. At least for the more livelier songs. Pretty late for this conclusion, I know. I also miss a connection between the fans and her during the event. A bunch of scripted MC's can not change that. It's ...

That video is defenitly an approvement from the vids from last year, but still a class difference in comparison to videos like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlwCZm2MQbQ&feature=plcp

RE: 'More Than Words'- Yoko Kanno and Yuho Iwasato Return in 2012

Ladys and gentlemen, I represent you: Maaya Sakamoto - Moa zan woars :P Im not that deep into anime anymore. This series here doesnt't look like an animation, more like fixed images. Maybe I'm missing something. About the song: Hmmmmmm, doesn't burn me away after 4 times listening. Not like it's a f...

With customs duty everything cost me 92€ o.O That must have been some high quality earplugs I tell you. They really know which items can make you bleed. I did...

RE: "In the Silence" Concert DVD / Blu-ray out in May

Since the last few days I was thinking day in & day out about this Blu-ray. Should I get it or not? Yesterday only 15 First Press Editions were left on CDJapan. Today 13... I almost feel like at a crossroad. Was watching the preview the whole time and couldn't decide. The song at 3:31 sounded nice. ...

RE: New album 'driving in the silence' - November 2011

I wonder why she felt embarrassed performing a Christmas song as a Japanese person. Why shouldn't it be okay? Everyone can do it as long as you don't deny what stands behind it. I was positive surprised when I read the songname on the album. It doesn't sound like a Christmas song, especially when yo...

RE: New album 'driving in the silence' - November 2011

i dont have the album :/ got distracted with other songs the last few months. sometimes i think her label gets out of ideas. saw some stuff in her current vids in old ones already. kinda gets worn out. they should focus on making vids about the actual topic of the song, & less on "making a neat vid"...
