YUI x Takeuchi Yuko Again?!

Album: GO!GO!7188 - Best Of GO! GO!

This morning I went to post office, to send this thing:



Yea I'm a minimalist =x Used the cheapest shipping option (well...), hence cannot really guarantee it will reach Japan safely (I'm not even sure that it'll reach lol, cannot trust our postal service too much). At least, I managed to pull myself from usual procrastinations and did something 'productive' for once. Maybe I will write a message to Paper plane Diary segment in YUI LOCKS. To 'notify' them.

YUI LOCKS 30/8: Highway chance from Spring & Tour jump was aired.


YUI-net has changed to LOVE & TRUTH layout!!

Me like this one:



And YUI Radio will be having YUI senryuu (川柳, a humorous Japanese poem) contest going on real time on September 5 (10:00 AM) till September 6 (10:00 AM).



Previously they have YUI tanka (a Japanese poem of thirty-one syllables), lots of fans participated it and everybody had a great laugh reading all the YUI-related poems (me too). The prizes were YUI merchandises (not the main point). So what are we suppose to do to participate this??

1. Be patient (3 more days to go)
2. Prepare your senryuu. It has the pattern of 5-7-5. You just have to come up a phrase of 5-7-5 moras which has something to do with dear YUI during that time. Means new YUI Radio #27?!

Demo from Miss Teo:

YUIさんと (yu i sa n to = 5)
同じ年のに (o na ji to shi no ni = 7)
まだまだだ (ma da ma da da = 5)

"Even though YUI and me share the same age, I still have long way to go."

Ok this is difficult, I kinda cheated as well =x I can only come up with this right now.


Next, according to this website, dear YUI will appear on Bokura no Ongaku again~!! This time her partner will be Takeuchi Yuko. Guess this one will be Closed Note special. The writer said that both of them kinda have the 'not easily defeated' aura lol. LOVE & TRUTH live orchestra version, should be interesting =D I love this program~ Can't wait!!

WAIT, I JUST SAW YUI'S NAME ON HEYx3 (September 24, Yaiko too!!). OMG!! Will YUI get 'smacked' by Hama chan?!!! Always wonder whether YUI will go to Heyx3 or not, it'll be pretty funny lol, abit worry at the same time. Since it's a special episode, don't think dear YUI will have much interactions with Downtown (that 2 hosts).

First Music Lovers, now Heyx3, what's next?? Dohmoto Kyoudai? Or...SmapxSmap (Bistro Smap LOL)?!!


New single, new magazines, less $$$

This one is a must buy:



R&R NEWSMAKER October 2007


And B-Pass October 2007 too. The interview corner in their website featured back stage snippets from magazines' staff. If you have the chance to see YUI off stage videos, (as biased as I can be) she really/ kinda treats people around her very nicely, when is she gonna use her 'superstar privilege' like what I always read in tabloids =x Anyway the staff of B-Pass said that every time after they interviewed YUI, she will always accompany them till to the exit elevator (they came to her office). So nice of her!! Another thing to learn from YUI sama ^^


We know that dear YUI loves to watch movies, nowadays people like to ask dear YUI to comment on those coming soon movies. Here's 2 of the recent ones:

Vexille (Opened at 15 August)

YUI's comment:

誰かを支配することなんて出来ない。
つまり、誰からも支配されることはない。

"It is not possible do things such as controlling someone.
In other words, it is also not possible to be controlled by someone." ('modified' abit of uchihamel's translation)

Judging from what I saw in the trailer, it has something to do with isolating controlling stuff. I just thought that YUI's comment really summed up the whole thing (even though I haven't watched it lol). *salutes* Matsuyuki Yasuko...*adds this in to-watch list*

Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten (Opens at September 8)

YUI's comment:

攻撃の裏側にあるものは
怒りではなく
悲しみだとわかった。

"I finally understand that the other side of these attacks
was not hatred, but sadness"

Something like that. Another great comment from YUI. The movie is about English punk rock band The Clash's front man, Joe Strummer. I should listen to all these 'legendary' bands more someday >.< YUI knows hella more even though she only started listens to western music when she was 15. Sex Pistols?! According to Odilon san, in R&R Newsmaker October issue, YUI said that when writing Jam, she consciously related it to songs by Sex Pistol. I must go to Kinokuniya soon!!


Read that today they will air bits of GIRL POP FACTORY. And yesterday bits of Matsurina was aired as well.

EDIT:



Such a sexy strat >.< YUI's getting more and more comfortable on stage, guitar playing was smooth too, had more interactions with band members. She improved herself again...Hopefully some cable TV will air the full show (on September 8).
