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

[jason]

OMG I'm so excited I have butterflies in my stomach. It's so near!!! XD

Just watch/listen to the Himitsu PV to calm yourself down. That's what I'm doing right now.

[Imurann]

lol it's out already XD


Tegami was funny.. but they say, silence is also a reply.. we didn't need much words to explain everything.

The first, second, and the last part of it.. :3

[dillpops]

Yay it shipped! 4 to 12 days late I will have it *_*

OK. No more YCCM thread, I must resist spoilers (for what, I don't know since I listened to the previews haha)


EDIT: second part of the itnerview is out:

[Imurann]

Ah! to all Maaya fanboys/girls.. let's go mad tonight! XD

LOL! there was something different in Mei-lideran in the end part!

"Suddenly.. the sound tone becomes smaller.. then the tone becomes secretly serious.. almost telling something very-very important"


XD XD XD XD Myukyu!!!!


Moonlight has become my all-time favorite

[Imurann]

@Dilly,

Number 8th song is for you, the aura is sooo dedicated for you :3

[kirei_lanford]

Moonlight has become my all-time favorite

ive told you that the last three tracks sounds gold
but is moonlight that good?? 0_
before hearing the full thing (except for himitsu and utsukushii hito), here's my song rank (top songs only) at YCCM:

1. utsukushii hito (4th track)
2. tegami (11th, just love the pure guitar strings) >.
3. himitsu (2nd)
4. topia (12th)
5. moonlight (10th)

let's see if it change after full hearing...

in opposite to dilly's comment, i thought the upbeat were weak at melody, except for himitsu.

gonna resist downloading. had to wait. had to wait!!!! >.
patience is the key, jedi! >.

[Imurann]

Already fully decode "Moonlight".. ah.. so mysterious, but it fits perfectly.. with my dream, just recently before the song was out.
Sometimes, I just felt like I'm in my own world :3


Just woke up.. and when I just listened to Moonlight, tears comes out :3 myukyu ~


@Tegami > The Letter

[jason]

You guys probably don't care since seems like everyone else paid less for Air Mail (or slower shipping), but my CD Japan package is delayed. FedEx tracking lists the status as "Shipment exception - Delay beyond our control".

But I will resist downloading the pirated copies on the net. Waiting another day or two won't kill me... I hope. XD

[kirei_lanford]

i already killed XD
if some other time i said i wouldn't download maaya before receiving the real thing, i must be lying XD
beware! jazz lines are all over the (slower) songs...
okay so just downloaded it! damn! my will is always this weak!! but.. simply can't resist >.

a little spoiler below:

moonlight sounds good like imu said, but still a lot hearing to go. tegami is a cute *but short* track... the string play drooled me.
i can't pass mirai chizu for now... the note is so jumpy
one part of kimi no sei reminds me of ichi ritoru namida chorus.., if im not mistaken from K or something
stand up girls! is cheerful and funny like i already guessed.. like a theme for cheering. cute infact! >.
topia is also a jazz track.. so like every other similar track, need time to absorb it fully.
zero to ichi is peaceful.. one slow tunes to hear at night. it's lovely, though doesn't really stand up.... for now.
mizuumi is even slower.. though i don't mind at all XD
more jazzy than any of the smaller number tracks,.. and better than zero to ichi. maaya went really high here, as she also displayed in moonlight.

[Imurann]

Wanted to ask, since it was stated as 12-01-2011.. Did it was released in Japan, a day earlier?


As usual, Imu asks the most obvious questions :3


Anyone found the lyrical in Japanese / Romaji / Kanji? for all of the songs yet..

Some stores break release date and sell early (even they aren't supposed to).

[Imurann]

oo it was shipped in early to stores.. now I get it..

[Tochiro]

Yep. Amazon Japan, for example, ships a day early so that its customers in Japan recieve it on the day of release.

Which means that my copy was waiting for me when I got home yesterday :-)
Am loving Kimi no sei.
Also, the first pressing bonus CD is niiiice. While I normally rip the audio of any concert DVDs I own, I bought the Budokan concert on Blu (such awesome quality), so its nice to have some of the tracks available for easy listening.

[Kaimugen]

I got it today at Animates. Listening to it now. The start is quite energetic, its a hit so far.And seriously go for the twin disc edition.



Maaya is love. Search your feelings you know this to be true.

Another interview:

http://www.hmv.co.jp/news/article/1101070089/

---今後、海外でライブやイベントを開催してみたいですか？

これまで何度か海外でも歌う機会がありましたが、その度にお客さんの熱気に圧倒され、パフォーマンスするのは私のほうなのにこっちが元気を分けてもらっているような気になるくらい、楽しかったです。

They ask whether Maaya would like to have a concert or some kind of event abroad, she replies that she already did one but doesn't say she wants to do another one T_T

But she does say the last one was fun and the audience was very excited ^^


EDIT: Also, is this not the worst picture of Maaya's arms ever? They look so bizarre 0_o it's the angle and sleeves but...weird! They look super short.
