「不完全な僕らに対する解答」 YUI ~ Thank you My teens!10代最後の日のストリートライブ ~

*still in deeply touched mood after watching it*

It's 2:27 am now. Can't sleep. Guess I'm deeply poisoned by YUI, especially after watching this documentary. About her last days being a teenager.



Shinguu beach ~borned and raised in Fukuoka~ (11/02/2007)



The first thing she said when she saw the beach was 'natsukashii~' (it's been a long time/ nostalgic/ 好懷念) and she went crazy running here and there. Even the cameraman was forced to run along (she wears chucks btw, I think).



A dog named Lara which she used to play with. Apparently it still remembers dear YUI, and gave her a hard time when she tried to bring it out for a walk once. See the beware of fierce dog' sign besides YUI? xD



The Chinese restaurant YUI used to work at when she was around 15-16 (finally I got the chance to see it lol). YUI kept the key of her locker back then till now (impressive) and returned it back to the owner 4 years later. Which btw what's the name of the blue Sesame Street monster she's holding?? Given by her old bandmates.



This was the place she moved out and lived alone for the first time. She said that when she can't sleep at night she will blow those bubble thing from above and see that if people passed by will notice or not. If they realised she'll hide herself lol.



She used to practice guitar here often back then, mostly at night. The staircases of Yahoo! JAPAN DOME where you can see the view of the sea (Nice practicing spot.....).



SHIN SHIN ramen restaurant which seems like a lot of famous people (including YUI) like to visit. YUI said that she signed for them the first time she went there, when she came again for the second time, she realised that her writing was too ugly and felt ashamed of it, requested to re-sign it and put it on top. YUI had dinner with some local radio staff who taught her a lot back then when she first hosted radio (too bad I never had the chance to hear it). YUI seemed very excited when she heard that she can perform street live (for 30 minutes) on that day (decided last minute). She said that she still continue performing street live even after debuted (Feb) until June.



I see...that's how you tune the guitar with pre-amp.....(11/02/2007, 22:10~)

She performed Good-bye days, Free Bird, feel my soul and It's happy line. Why she had to take taxi in the end?? No personal van?

Recording studio (04/03/2007, Tokyo)



She demo-ed How crazy, RUIDO (she was saying the tuning kinda off) and Happy Birthday to you you. *gasp* What's that guy doing at her back anyway? He seemed bored.

AND feel my soul.



*SCREAMS* No wonder she said that she wants a keyboard. My wish to see her playing piano came true =D Next will be seeing her playing bass and drums. The interviwer thought that YUI learned piano when she was small xD Actually she learned it along with guitar when she was 15-16. Read in PATi PATi magazine, the writer was kinda 'shocked' first saw YUI played drums during rehearsal. Hmm.....



'16 my dream~' That guy besides her is Sony Music Records' Sound Director. He's the one who wrote the descriptions in the discography section of YUI's official homepage. The last song she recorded before she turns 20, which is My Generation. Even during recording YUI likes to 'kiss' the mic LOL. Another wish came true =D To see her playing electric guitar (without any other instruments lol). It's great to see what it's like in a recording studio. Can't wait for the new drama!! This Friday.....(got exams though T.T)

At last, YUI's last street live before she turns 20 (25/03/2007, Shibuya, Tokyo, around 9:45 pm)



I don't know why the cameramen had to 'focus' on YUI's face most of the time (I'm more interested on what chord she's playing lol, being a copycat). After she performed a slightly slower version of Rolling star, she kinda thinks that the audience were not close enough, kinda 'used her own way' to make people moved front without really requesting it (lol I'm bad at describing it).



She made this face when she messed up the lyrics of Thank you My teens =P I should play that song for myself too on 3rd of August this year (hint*hint). After watching all those performances I'm so fired up to practice guitar now LOL.



If you read her diary you will recognise the cake hee. I think the guy besides her is her manager.

It's 5:40 am now. LOL. I better go study now. Supposed to do the Ontama this week or rant about something elses but YUI is too hard to resist.

I think I'm gonna get sued by posting so many pictures *runs away*

Till then, au revior~ 私も頑張らなきゃ。。。
