YUI is taking sabbatical leave from YUI LOCKS

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Misc YUI Rants:

Lets continue the topic on encounters with YUI.

We all know that YUI will go around music stores privately on every new releases. But she always says that nobody realised her presence. She'll just enter those stores like normal customer unnoticed.

Actually, a bunch of fans spotted her, some of them chose not to disturb her since she is having her off day, and some chose to approach her, luckier ones even received YUI signatures in return.

In one of the recent radio shows, YUI admitted that sometimes she was spotted. One particular encounter was one time, there was a high school boy standing in front of the display with YUI's CDs. YUI walked towards the display and when she reached out her hand to sign those props, a high school boy standing beside, turned towards her and their eyes met each other.

As if nothing happened, that boy moved his head back, slowly. After a few seconds, he turned to YUI again, shock clearly written all over his face.

Our dear YUI then said:" Excuse me", and continued to leave her handwrinting on the display.

If I were the boy, I think I might say to YUI:" I will buy more copies if you are willing to sign on them."

In May 15 YUI LOCKS, YUI announced that she will be taking some time off to focus on making music, hence she will stop teaching in School of Locks for a while. But, once she finished her new song, SOL will be the first to air for sure.

Basically we have 2 more weeks left, no more weekly doses of YUI LOCKS starting June.

Our presents T.T Sorry guys. I'm not sure if she's going to do another segment on fanmade covers in the remaining 2 episodes.

I don't want to speculate anything, YUI did explain that it is not that she's going to take a break or retire from music scene, she just want to have more time to make music. It is a good thing I suppose. Remember that her tour is still going on, and not forget the rumour of her upcoming single in July.

According to people in 2ch, previously a lot of 'teachers' from SOL also used this approach to retire. However, they are some teachers who came back. So we wouldn't know, because YUI didn't mention when she will return. Maybe she won't.

Luckily we still have YUI Radio. Life goes on, everything must come to an end. Reminds me of another radio show by Chatmonchy which ended last week.

Hopefully with the extra time, dear YUI can finally achieve her goals, beside making more good music.
1. Car license
2. London

Extra YUI Rumour: Yesterday someone spotted YUI performing street live in Sapporo after her concert. Since he mentioned camera and staff looking people, maybe we might have the chance to see it somewhere? (Source: 2ch, mixi)

PS: I'm taking bus to Malacca tomorrow, not going to bring guitar because Pudu bus station is scary. Loo: Can I have your email address? I'll give you my phone number.
