Woa, that's big, MH is the second best sold game in Japan after Pokemon! Here's the video interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBbRPis_xSg She's singing as Utahime, a character in the game. They will present the song on October 16, I think it will be posted on the same Monster Hunter official ...

Here is what I understand with my non native English ^^ : EDIT: Listen to the performance of In the Silence, it's much more clear! (though I can't understand what's after "everything is in the"...) Saw the seeds of secret Take this bitter sweet Take me Draw your queen of spade Everything is in the [...

I think there were almost always English backing vocals in her first albums, but since they are not transcribed in the lyrics I've never been able to know what she sings. Does someone know what she's singing in Tune the Rainbow during the refrain? I'm just hearing something like this: Feel the cry H...

Thanks for the setlist!

Really interesting things here from the "good old times"!
And Scrap is one my favorite Alice Shounen track, I hope they release this in one year! I'm looking forward to listen to Cloud 9 and the medley also!

Thanks for pointing out this, I'm not a native English speaker and I didn't know that term :) I'll fix my brief translation above. If you are not a native English speaker, it's probably a good idea to refrain from translating into English, especially when you are going to be the first to answer a t...

Nicola sounds very nice. I'm really excited for this. You Can't Catch Me and Driving in the silence were both a little underwhelming in my opinion, but this new album is starting off on a good note. If the rest of the songs can keep this kind of quality, this could be one of Maaya's best albums. I ...

Too bad Yoko Kanno doesn't arrange the songs
But the 2 arrangers are far from being bad so I'm looking forward to it of course!

シンガーソングライター
Singer Songwriter

This new album will be fully composed and written by Maaya, so that's obvious, it's definitely Singer Songwriter

Okay, let's get something straight here. Singer-songwriter is an established phrase in English, as it is in Japanese. There is absolutely no chance at all that the final word is "lighter" -- that is just insane. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singer_songwriter It's also not Singer Song Writer because...

Wow, an album fully composed and written by Maaya. This is the first time she's composed the music and written lyrics for an entire album, right? Based on that, it makes more sense that the title is Singer Song Writer (which is what CD Japan lists). When I first read the title, this Shocking Lemon ...

Thanks for the news! Here is a quick translation of the main points: This 8th album will contain 8 new musics composed, written and produced by Maaya herself, and a remix of Everywhere and a new arrangement of Chikai. It will be entitled Singer-Songwriter . The arrangers are Shin Kôno and Watanabe S...

An interview of 5 minutes divided into 2 parts, lol. They really want to keep you focused. Nice to hear her mentioning fans outside of Japan. There is a news-account for Kanno & Maaya on twitter. There is one locked up maaya_sakamoto account as well. I wonder if thats a fake account or the real dea...

Only 4 questions, but apart from the first one (when did she start music), they are really interesting!
Thanks for pointing out that interview!
