RE: Co-operation between sites

I guess the community is simply somewhat fragmented, if one wants to find a problem. A very true and perhaps unavoidable result. To be frank, if you like Maaya and want to be part of the fan community, where exactly do you go? Here? The forums on jpopmusic.com? last.fm? iLike? One of the many fake ...

RE: Co-operation between sites

This sounds like a solution, but I can't tell if the problem has been adequately specified. So I'm going to ask a stupid question: What problem is this cooperation intended to solve?

It's hard enough picking an album, and now you expect us to be able to narrow our choice down to a single song? You ask for the impossible, my friend! :)

RE: New Album “You can't catch me”, January 12 2011 Covers Out

Following on from being number one, Maaya was featured on TV this week: http://maayasakamoto.blogspot.com/2011/01/maaya-on-fuji-tvs-meza-nyuu-wake-up.html Wikipedia says she was in the 1994 dub of the 1985 TV movie version of "Alice in Wonderland" -- so she was 13/14? That could be an amusing watch...

RE: New Album “You can't catch me”, January 12 2011 Covers Out

I think they should have add all 3 tracks and not just Down Town to YCCM, the others 2 are very great (greater IMHO) and would have upped the general level of YCCM. Yeah, I had my fingers crossed for a while, hoping yasashisa ni tsutsumareta nara would make it into YCCM as well, but then everyone w...

High in demand on Maaya's does not necessarily equal high enough in demand to warrant hiring a translator and paying for proofreading, typesetting, printing and binding, and distribution. They would almost certainly lose money on an English version.

RE: New Album “You can't catch me”, January 12 2011 Covers Out

Finally listened to my copy, so I can come back to the thread. I wanted to like this album. I really did, but it's just not what I was hoping for. It starts out well enough -- himitsu and utsukushii hito are wonderful, eternal return and kimi no sei are OK, DOWN TOWN I still don't like -- but most e...

RE: New essay collection Feb 2011 'from everywhere' - COVER

On the most recent Vitamin M, Maaya talked about wanting to go on another long trip alone this year as one of her goals for 2011. Not Brazil, unfortunately -- she apparently wants to visit Russia and travel along the Siberian railroad. As for how likely that is to happen, well, your guess is as good...

RE: On the wiki / main site

After a few weeks of pondering, I like the wiki idea; it has potential, provided someone is willing to donate the time it takes to keep it updated and well-organized. But I wonder if there's anything we can do to consolidate the international fan community and introduce more people to Maaya. Providi...

RE: Translations

Some YCCM translations: an interview from Tower Records Online , an interview from WHAT's IN? , and the liner notes from the special site . If you've only got time for one, I say go for the WHAT's IN? interview -- I think it's the most interesting of the three, and easier to digest than Miki Ueno's ...
