*Warning: This entry is for those YUI's 'maniac' level fans out there. Hope that my explanations are clear enough lol. And you'll love dear YUI more and buy her new album.*

If you were a YUI 'follower' for quite some time, you can notice quite a number of 'trends' started by dear YUI. And us of course, 'influenced' by it and start doing it 'blindly' as well.

We have adieu which first used in her diary. Which then evolved to achiu -> ajya~ and then back to adieu again. (I can't remember the actual flow of the 'evolution' though). It's a French word btw.

Then kanipan (direct translation-> crab-flavoured bread). If I'm not mistaken YUI first knew about it in YUI radio. Where one of the fans sent a message asking her about it.

See this diary entry by dear YUI and you'll know. That is a kanipan btw.
カニパン

And then the 'infamous' pedal (effector board). I never thought that you can 'decorate' it in such way. Actually this is more a YUI 'thing', just wanna share with you guys lol.

wuu~wang!!
(SOURCE: YUI-net)

First mentioned: YUI Radio 18.
Date: 18 Jan 2007
Reason: Music Station.

YUI was going to perform Rolling Star on Music Station the next day, and some fans asked her to do some gestures/ 'stunt' which only listeners of YUI radio can understand.

Then dear YUI came up with this dog sign thing. Well actually YUI and Shigezou san (the host with weird voice) kinda discussed about it in YUI radio, I'll try to explain the part when both of them mentioning Music Station. Around minute mark (just rough translations, because it was LONG lol): 50:25

YUI: red
Shigezou: plain
me: Italics

Please watch along with the video, because it's not interesting if you only read the dialogues. Again, don't believe in everything I type.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minute: 50:25

Shigezou: YUI san, on Jan 26th, it will be Music Station live broadcast.
YUI: !!
Shigezou: YUI san, next week, next friday....
YUI: Aiks, what should I do? I'll get nervous.
Shigezou: YUI san, when you're on Music Station, as YUI radio's representative, can you do something (what is aizou?) for us which only us can understand?
YUI: What shall we do then?
Shigezou: All of us (YUI radio listeners) will support you~ Are you going to be fine that day? ganbaruyo YUI san in Music Station!! We will follow you for sure! We'll stick in front of the TV that night. Wouldn't it be great if YUI san willing to do some easy-to-understand gesture for us?
YUI: Hmm what shall I do then? Wuu....wang!? Something like that?
Shigezou: Are you SURE that you can do it???
YUI: (waves hand) No way no way.
Shigezou: You really can do it?
YUI: Cannot, really cannot. So how?
Shigezou: Lets do that thing you just did again.
YUI: This is 'wang' right? wan wan~ Wu~wang!!
Shigezou: It'll be great if you can do that in ms (Music Station).
YUI: Little kids will surprised by it.
Shigezou: Little kids...even Tamori san (the host of ms) will be surprised by it.
YUI: Yea Tamo san will be surprised by it.
Shigezou: Just do something that you think you'll able to.

Kinda tired adi LOL. I'll fast forward it now.

YUI: Ah found the wristband. What about putting on it?
Shigezou: bla bla bla
YUI: maji de? *mumbles* maji de? Seldom use this word but I used it.
Shigezou: (pretends to be the host) Next up will be YUI san's Rolling star~! *drum rolls*
YUI: *shows her hand* (minute 52:17)
Shigezou: That's impossible for you to do so.
YUI: Yea it's just impossible. It's hard for me to play guitar as well.

YUI: So how?
Shigezou: What about waving hands?
YUI: *waves hand*
Shigezou: Wonder if the audience able to see or not...
YUI: *hums the intro of Music Station and waves her hand at the same time*
Shigezou: *hums along*
YUI: I'll be nervous for sure.
Shigezou: Then just wave your hands or something. Normally people will do that during intro right?
YUI: Oh really?
Shigezou: Normally what will you do? During the opening.
YUI: *hums the intro of ms* (53:09) pam!! sayonara~
blablablabla
Shigezou: So just waves your hand as hard as you can will be enough.
YUI: I'll put on it, then bye bye, something like konnichiwa, or konbanwa. If something like this I think I can do it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then on 26 Jan 2007....as promised, she put on the white wristband~



Hence in the performance in MS you can see the white wristband on the headstock of YUI's Telecaster. I rant about it as well.

Previous entry on Rolling star performances

Even YUI's staff talked about it: YUI-net

The story ain't end yet. One month later, some fans mentioned about it again in YUI radio 20.

Second time: YUI radio 20.
Date: 7 Mac 2007
Reason: Music Station.

Around minute mark: 47:30~52:40.

I realised that if transcribe their dialogues will eat up the whole page so I'll just briefly 'digest' what they said.


A fan sent a messgae asking YUI to do the wu~wang thing in the next ms. Then Shigezou san asked YUI to do the wu~wang thing again for the listeners who didn't have the chance to watch the previous YUI radio. (49:15)

And around that time there's a YUI short poem contest going on in YUI-net and the prize was the leftover Rolling star wristband. Shigezou suggested that do something with the wristband in ms just to commemorate it.

Then comes Music Station:



And YUI did it~!! It was a REAL 'touching' moment when I first saw it T.T It might not mean anything to you people, but as a YUI-stalker for.......over a year, THAT was something.

I kinda rant about that episode too.

My entry on Music Station 9 Mac 2007.

As what people always says: Small things do matter. Even though it was done without any other intentions.

Sorry for the messy translations. Kinda fed up half way LOL. I think next time I'll just stick with writing materials. Talking parts are difficult to translate. If you have any questions, do leave a comment. Even if you don't have any questions you can always comment as well. My motivation depends on your comments haha.

Now left the Ontama thing. (motivate me please)

Till then, adieu.

EDIT: Part 2 - Wuu~nyan!!
