for some reason i was under the impression that it was two swedish guys.
but i cant find anything to back that up.

whatever, burning chicken producer a good chunk of golden tears.

I looked way too soon and posted. All I saw was "Bu Ckicken" and my mind filled in the rest. :headache

Cover for the new single:

http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/8468/acd.jpg

^ Very pastel and colourful.

^ Yes, I definitely agree.

And I like how the words "Joy" and "Happy Ending" cross each other, like in a crossword puzzle.

Cute cover; I'm thinking of buying it now.

aw that cover is really cute. :)
are there any previews and whatnot floating around yet?

i havent been paying much attention to bonnie lately. :(

Apparently, there's a new Bonnie Pink song! She seems to have so many new songs, lol. Info:

Is BP pregnant? She kinda looks like she is in the single cover. :)

Promo Pic:

Wow, so much activity from her.

New Album! :)

I dunno how accurate that 95music site is, so we'll have to wait for more details, hopefully soon.

Wouldn't be surprised if it were true. She's had some time.

fan-net has her new album listed as being released on 5/13. fan-net's release info is pretty accurate, so it must be true. :)

From JPM:

I'll be sure to try to check it out.

I was wondering when the new PV would air, and today, Space Shower TV added "Joy" to their PV list. They don't have any airdates yet. Hmm... I wonder if "Happy Ending" will have a PV too?

And I found radio rips of both songs on youtube! :)

Joy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__i9lUav1dc

Happy Ending: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2DB-9jdHuM

^ Thanks for the links.

I love laid back Joy is. It has enough tempo to keep it from putting you sleep from boredom. From the two songs alone, this single sounds great.

New PV - Joy:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8u...-joy_lifestyle

One of the few PVs without the singer in it too much and doesn't bother me.

I think the Joy PV is very beautiful. I like the part where Bonnie is sitting in the bench, playing her guitar, and also when she is up on stage in that bar or club.

I thought the PV was a bit sad though, about how the woman was looking back on old memories, and had to delete them at the end - all the photos and videos on her laptop. :/

Very nice slow song from Bonnie. I can't wait until the full single leaks, and can hear a HQ version of both A-side songs, plus the b-side song too. :)

Natalie's Blog had a new article today about a new song - Here's a translation I did using google translation:


http://natalie.mu/media/0811/1113/ex...nnie_craig.jpg


BONNIE PINK's new song "Fed Up feat. Craig David" is now available on the iTunes Store.

This song features the popular British singer, Craig David. Last November, Craig David featuring BONNIE PINK "ALL THE WAY" was produced, and is available on Craig's album "GREATEST HITS" bonus disc that was recorded in the country.

And then the article goes on to talk about Bonnie visiting Crag's home in London, and having a recording session on the collab song.

I have "ALL THE WAY". Not a bad laid back club.

Happy Ending > Joy

I'm glad the single got a high ranking. Seems people in Japan are still interested in her music, which is good.

I'm hoping it'll break into the top 10 in the weekly charts.

^ Me too!

Anyways, Zemus has uploaded the Joy PV in the downloads section, so just a heads up for people that want to download it.

Wow #3. Impressed but that could easily turn out badly.

^ What do you mean by that?

Do you mean like, the NINKI predictions could be high, but the actual ranking might be lower when it comes out?

^ Yeppers
Same thing happened to Hitomi Shimatani's Flare. Had a good NINKI -over 25k, I think?- and ends up selling 10k+.

^ Oh ok, I see.

I'm thinking of uploading her "Water Me" performance at ap bank fes '08 performance. I don't think it was uploaded before yet in the downloads section. Oh wow, I really love this performance, it's so beautiful. And the live performance is just amazing. I think I will upload it tomorrow or the day after, and also, need to make some screencaps for it.

I'm waiting anxiously for the single now. It's nowhere to be found atm. D:

^ Hopefully, someone will upload it soon.


Anyways, the single debuted at #13 on the daily chart. Not bad. I just hope it doesn't fall too much on the next few days.

Not too bad. Good to see the NINKI prediction isn't too bloated.

She dropped to #20 on the second day. :/

double post, but cloud has uploaded the Joy/Happing ending single in the download section:

Oricon 3 day chart-run:


13 -> 20 -> 23

It's bad that she charted so low!
I hope she would do more promotion!

Cause this single is absolutely gorgeous!
Joy is beautiful
Happy Ending is great!! I think it's better than Joy!
You and I is a really awesome B-Side!
For me it's one of her best singles!

She didn't drop too bad on the third day (trying to be positive).

Bonnie was on Music Japan on April 5th.

hikkichan uploaded the file on Jpopsuki, but it's in .ts format, and is very huge file. T_T

I think she performed "Joy", I hope she did, lol.

4th day @ #33.

I wish Bonnie could jump a few spots up, instead of going down. :/

OMG. I'm definitely getting this.

I love the tracklisting for the new album! It's perfect!

Plus the cover of the album is just LOVE! :heart

I love the artwork/design of the sky in the album cover and promo pic. It looks so cool and interesting to look at. *__*

Too bad her music releases don't have OS versions, otherwise I would buy this new album in that version.

Hmm... I might consider getting the Japan Press of this album, if I can afford it.

Wow, both promo and cover are so stunning.
Liking the lenghty tracklist, as well.

Not quite a big drop like day 4. Yesh.

ooh, thanks for the info on the new album! i have to remember to go order it soon...

EDIT: dude, i just realized that this was my 1,000th post. lol.

^ Cool that you are ordering it, that's nice to see. And congrats on your 1,000 posts! :) Which site are you planning on pre-order it from?

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

Anyways, I wanted to post about my comments on the album cover:

I like how there is more emphasis on the sky, which is very beautiful! I think there's a term for it, when the sun is about to set, and the sky looks like it does in that album cover pic. It's just beautiful beyond words, I love it.

It seems Bonnie has been wearing quite a lot of tanktops lately, as I noticed in her recent singles/albums, and also in her recent live performances. I'm curious now as to if her older pics had her wearing tanktops too, haha.

CDJapan has the same cover for both versions of the album, so looks like it's one cover for two versions. Aww... and I love that promo pic, they could have used that for one of the versions, right? :)

I'll probably pre-order ONE at the end of the week as I get paid on Thursday. <3

Sorry for double posting, but there is some info I wanted to bring to the attention of people who were planning on buying Bonnie Pink's New album:

mu-mo is currently selling the new album with a bonus cup!

I found some info on it from luminaire @ JPM:

There's no picture/image of the cup on mu-mo's site, and it isn't known whether they will upload a pic or not, but should they do so, I will be sure to keep people informed! And I'm unsure if this is some time-limited offer, or limited to a certain amount of copies, so if anyone knows, let us know, thanks.

^ Wow, that cup looks so cool! Thanks for posting the pic.

I like how the word "PINK" is in Pink color, haha.

Cool that you ordered it from mu-mo, and yeah, I am looking forward to
you posting your photos when you receive it. :)

Yeah i love it too, the "PINK" in pink! xD
I will make many Photos when i get the cup! ;3
It's not often that you get a Cup when you buy an album! xD
I cannot wait til the albums comes and i hold the HOLY GRAIL.... ehm CUP!! xDDD

And i found Fed Up feat. Craig David from her upcoming album ONE!
Enjoy!

http://www.mediafire.com/?wmzmwmznekr

^ Thanks Gubsi for the song!

I want to know how her single did in its 2nd week on Oricon charts, but I can't
find the info anywhere yet. Hmm...

Bonnie is performing JOY on Music Station on May 1st! :)

Woot! Hopefully that'll help with the upcoming album.

^ I hope so too.

I dunno when was the last time she went on Music Station, hmm...

Hopefully "One Last Time" isn't draggy. Those 6 minutes are gonna be torture if it is.

^ That song's length is so long for a song. -___-

I just hope it's good and interesting, and yeah, I agree with you, I
hope the song doesn't drag on, and not go anywhere without any direction
in the song. :/

Somthing along the lines of H&MC's with YOU. Over 6 minutes but you can listen through them without pausing or getting bored.

Joy @ Music Station:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3U0zwKnqjk

I don't like her new haircut, it looks so-so on her. It looks so much like Utada Hikaru's hairstyle. o_O!

^ She shouldn't have braided her hair. Makes the her hair look wrong when clipped back.

Let's see if MS perform. helped slightly.

How fluent is Bonnie in english? i love her song mint, she sounds so good :yes

^shes totally fluent.

I can't wait to get my copy of ONE. =D

^ Can you scan the CD booklet when you get it? I want to see the pics. *__*

The album hasn't leaked yet as far as I know, hope it will show up somewhere soon.

First day @ #4. *__* Totally unexpected.

^Oh wow i didn't expected this!
So congrats to Bonnie and let's hope she continued the good charting!!

My review after first listen:
OMG!
I love this album!
It's totally amazing!
:love
My Non-Single Favorite Tracks are definitively FYUSHA FYUSHA FYUSHA, Princess Incognito, Mousou LOVER, Rock You Till The Dawn and Himitsu!!

The full album can be downloaded now in the downloads section, uploaded by cloud honey.

Anyways, I am interested in scans of the cd booklet, and also pictures of the cup that came with it (I think it was a mu-mo only exclusive bonus?) ;)

Gubsi already put up a picture of the cup. Should be on the previous page.

Awesome that BONNIE got #4!

^ Ok. Nevermind, I saw the pic already when Gubsi posted it, I just forgot that I saw it, lol. xD

Hmm... but i am interested in pics of the box or package that the cup came in (if there was one?)

^I get the Album with Bonus Cup in 2-3 weeks, so i will make many photos of it!!

Oh my God i must say this album is absolutely gorgeous!
I love it from start to end!
(ok on my iPod Tracklist i put You and I on 15, All That Way feat. Craig David on 16 and Pump it Up! on 17)
I think the best song is Mousou LOVER (i love it so much like Sakamichi in Thinking out Loud)

^ Ok, looking forward to the pics! Thx Gubsi.

And if possible, would you be able to scan the CD booklet as well? Thx if u can do that. :)

Anyways, I haven't listened to the album in full yet, I just skimmed through the tracks,
and so far, I like what I hear. :D

Standout track on this album that I love the most is track #6, the Japanese version of "Ring a Bell".
It's a very catchy song, and I love it. Might be my
favourite track on the album, but we'll see.

I'll eventually do a review of the whole album in a few days or so when I get
the chance to sit down, and run through the album from beginning to end. ^^

5 day chart run:

Oricon Albums Chart - 2nd Week:


14　6,925　BONNIE PINK


As far as I know, the album ranking and sales is unavailable for the week of May 13th - 20th. :( So, her first week sales and ranking is unknown.

I adore the design of the booklet. Even the design on the CD and DVD is wonderful.

ONE is so good my love for Bonnie Pink has been revived :love., need to get this album sometime in the future.

I heard a rumor that she was making a US debut last week but I haven't heard much news of it, I think billboard magazine reported it? I hope it's true :yes

Flying Postman Special Edition Cover:

double post, but frecklegirl @ JPM setup a blog where she translates all the blog entriess of Bonnie Pink into English! There are pics also. So, if you want to keep up with Bonnie Pink and what's been going on with her in her life, go to her blog:

http://www.nostalgic-lavender.net/bl...ie%20pink.html

From JPM:

awesome, thank you!

and that cup looks so cool, i'm jealous!

no one has posted here since july :weep


one of my favorite j-holiday songs :yes the rest of the mini album is great too :heart

I like Bonnie and all but not a huge fan so tiny little updates go unnoticed.

I love her new album! Favorite new songs atm are Suki KILLER, Hurricane, Cookie Flavor and Nami Nami :love

*blows the dust off the thread*, BONNIE PINK is finally releasing a new album on September 6th, titled "Infinity"!

Glad to see her alive

Great there's an album coming. I heard her new single, HANABI Delight (good song indeed) and was wondering if it would be a prelude of something bigger. I'm glad.
