YUI Ends Hiatus with A New Band

After almost five months from YUI's break, it was announced that the singer/songwriter will already return to the music industry as a vocalist of the new band Flower Flower. The band was said to be already performing live around Japan and has been doing studio sessions earlier this year which obviously explains that YUI's time from the hiatus was actually used and given for the preparation of the band's debut.

Flower Flower is a four-member group which consists of other musicians YUI admires and respects. The band will be making their debut on May 4 at the Japan Jam event in Tokyo - Shin-Kiba STUDIO COAST. Following their formal debut, they will also be participating at the Tokyo Metropolitan Rock Festival 2013 on May 26.

About the band's name "Flower Flower" YUI said, "I wanted to pick a name that wasn't flashy, but was natural. There were probably a lot of cool names that I could've picked, but purposely, instead of doing that, I wanted to pick a name that seemed effortless and relaxing, and had a natural feeling injected into it. I want to express powerful and interesting ideas freely."

Simple Plan ft. Taka OOR - Summer Paradise Lyrics

O la da da dada
Yeah me and you in summer paradise

My heart is sinking as I’m lifted
Up above the clouds away from you
And I can’t believe I’m leaving
Oh I don’t know no no what I’m gonna do

But, someday
I will find my way back to
To where your name is written in the sand

Coz I remember every sunset (I remember)
I remember every words you said
We would never gonna say good bye (good bye)
Singing la da da da
Tell me how to get back to (back to)
Back to summer paradise with you
And I’ll be there in a heartbeat
I’ll be there I’ll be there I’ll be there
I’ll be there in a heartbeat
And I’ll be there I’ll be there I’ll be there

My soul is broken
Streets are frozen
I can’t stop this feelings melting through
And I’d give away a thousand days
Oh, just to have another one with you (with you)

Where real life can wait
We’re crashing like waves
Playing in the sand (playing in the sand)
Holding your hands

Coz I remember every sunset (I remember)
I remember every words you said
We would never gonna say good bye (good bye)
Singing la da da da
Tell me how to get back to (back to)
Back to summer paradise with you
And I’ll be there in a heartbeat
I’ll be there I’ll be there I’ll be there
I’ll be there in a heartbeat
And I’ll be there I’ll be there I’ll be there

My memories are reminding me
The perfect night on the perfect beach
Ano hi no ki o kuwo kaki atsumeta tokode
Modorisenai
The season not the reason why
I fell in love with you in paradise
Kimi ga boku wo omoidasu tabi ni
And I’ll be there in a heartbeat

Someday
I will find my way back to
To where your name is written in the sand

Coz I remember every sunset (I remember)
I remember every words you said
We would never gonna say good bye (good bye)
Singing la da da dada
Tell me how to get back to (back to)
Back to summer paradise with you
And I’ll be there in a heartbeat

I remember when we first kissed
How I didn't wanna leave your lips
And how I've never ever felt so high
Tell me how to get back to (back to)
Back to summer paradise with you
And I’ll be there in a heartbeat
I’ll be there I’ll be there
I’ll be there in a heartbeat

After including the sales from the latest Oricon weekly ranking, Akimoto surpassed late lyricist Aku Yu’s record of 68,319,000 copies by 272,000 copies.

Akimoto has written the lyrics for many artists such as Onyanko Club, Tunnels, the late Misora Hibari, and in recent years, he’s known for contributing lyrics for AKB48, SKE48, NMB48 and more. Reportedly, Akimoto wrote the lyrics for 506 singles so far, and among all the singles he wrote, the best selling single was AKB48’s 26th single “Manatsu no Sounds good!” (released in May 2012) which sold 1,822,000 copies in total. Moreover, about 30% (19,987,000 copies) of his total sales have come from songs he wrote for AKB48.

Akimoto left the comment, “Thank you. Even after getting No.1 in sales, I still can’t hold a candle to other great senior lyricists, but taking this (record) is very encouraging, I would like to continue to devote myself.”

Akimoto made his debut as a lyricist with “Kotoba ni Shitakunai Tenki” (The coupling track for THE ALFEE’s single ‘Toori Ame‘) in October of 1981. His first chart topping single was Kikuchi Momoko’s “Sotsugyou” (released in February 1985), and a total of 87 singles which Akimoto contributed the lyrics, have topped the chart ever since. 87 chart topping singles is also a record for lyricists, number 2 is Inaba Koshi with 52 singles.

AKB48’s 30th single ‘So long!’ sells over a million copies

Popular idol group AKB48’s 30th single “So long!” (released on February 20th) sold 1,036,000 copies in its first week, and topped the Oricon weekly single ranking for the week of March 4th.

This marked AKB48’s 17 consecutive chart topping single since “RIVER” (released in October 2009), and they have extended their own records for “the number of consecutive chart topping singles” and “total number of chart topping singles”. Moreover, this is their 11 consecutive single (and 12th single overall) to sell over a million copies since “Sakura no Ki ni Narou” (released in February 2011). Among those singles that sold over a million copies, 10 of them achieved the million mark during just the first week.

This accomplishment of 10 singles selling over one million copies in the first week is even more impressive considering that since Oricon’s single ranking started back in 1968, there has only been three singles besides AKB48 that sold over a million copies during the first week. These are, “Namonaki Uta” (Mr.Children in 1996),  ”Dango 3 Kyoudai” (Hayami Kentaro, Shigemori Ayumi, and more in 1999), and “Addicted To You” (Utada Hikaru in 1999). Additionally, there has been no artist other than AKB48 who has achieved it with more than one single.

Watanabe Mayu commented, “I was informed that ‘So long!’ that I served as the center for the first time reached a million copies, and we were the only one to accomplish the record of ‘having 10 consecutive single that sold over a million copies in the first week.’ I am happy from the bottom of my heart, and I’m full of gratitude toward the fans who have always been cheering for us, and the staff members who always support us.”

Vocaloid digunakan sebagai theme song film layar lebar "Mememe no Kurage"

Artis pop Jepang Takashi Murakami menawari Hatsune Miku kesempatan untuk menyanyikan opening theme untuk film pertamanya, seperti yang dilaporkan oleh Nari nari. Ini adalah pertama kalinya lagu dari Vocaloid digunakan sebagai theme song dari sebuah film layar lebar.

Film tersebut berjudul Mememe no Kurage, dan akan menggunakan lagu berjudul Last Night, Good Night yang diambil dari proyek solo kz yaitu livetune. Lagu tersebut diaransemen untuk digunakan dalam film tersebut, dan kita dapat mendengarkan sebagian dari versi eksklusif ini di trailer film tersebut, yang baru saja dirilis hari Jumat kemarin ~>>>

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wJnA9FaR5V4

dan berikut Versi asli dari Last Night, Good Night.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LiQC9WCgmIA

Lagu Last Night, Good Night pertama kali dirilis pada tahun 2008 silam dan telah dilihat secara online lebih dari 1.600.000 kali.

Sutradara Murakami secara langsung meminta Miku untuk mengisi theme song filmnya ini. Film itu sendiri menceritakan suatu persahabatan antara seorang bocah laki-laki dengan suatu mahluk yang mengambil tempat di Jepang saat pasca-gempa.

Sementara para fans Miku senang mendengar kabar ini, sebagian dari mereka menyatakan kekhawatirannya bahwa menampilkan Miku dalam skala yang lebih besar (artinya, menampilkan Miku kepada orang-orang yang bukan otaku) akan menimbulkan banyak kritik.


Mememe no Kurage akan diputar perdana di bioskop Jepang pada tanggal 26 April.
