YUI always dominates these polls, lol. work it gurl :cool

I wonder where she'll be next year.

no new single :( but...

^ I wanted to post that yesterday but AHS kept on crashing on me T_T

it's cool that she has written a song for Stereopony

That are great news.i hope the new single will be like the other songs: GREAT

EDIT:
A oops.I thought that the single will be a YUI single XD

nah , instead it's a song that YUI wrote for the girlband Stereopony

OMFG YES :thud

@JPM

I've just read it in a another website!

I hope her holidays help her to do better & refresh songs!

How long is her "hiatus" supposed to ask?

^ I think you mean 'last'?
Well, with a new song being aired soon, her hiatus should be ending soon.

supposedly about a year or so . MY SHORT STORIES was released last Nov but I guess it has been cut of sorts which's good for everyone :laugh

anyway YAY can't wait for a new YUI song , it's about time man

She took a break to find imagination again! So If she already can write something and compose, she don't wait six month to come back on the stage!

actually I think you mean inspiration & not imagination lol

XD. Yes, I wanted to say inspiration. It's very early here! :tired

lol it's ok I can imagine , it's not fun waking up so early at 8am + at your end

wouldn't be long before YUI's back officially :D

I wouldn't mind if Yui covered I do it sometime.. it sounds good.

lol, I was just listening to I loved yesterday and thinking that she needs a new song :D

but yay, finally! I hope it will be as good as her previous releases ^^ I hope for some rockish ballad ^^"

btw, why did she go on hiatus in the first place?

she mentioned that she just needed a break as she was working non stop from the time she debuted til I LOVED YESTERDAY

thank you ^^

that's good, I thought that she may have had some kind of writers-block but hopefully that will never happen ^^ she is just too good of an aritist ^^" I love&support her since the beginning ^^

YUI is coming out with a new single, "again". It's going to be the OP song for the new Fullmetal Alchemist song.

http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/4078905/

Don't know if it was already posted.

Oh cool, she has an anime tie-in.

When does the new song start airing in the anime?

I'm glad YUI is back. ^^

^April 5th, I believe.

^ That's very soon, which is good. I can't wait to hear what it will sound like.

'again' is a really nice title ^^ and quite fitting xd
can't wait to hear it~

excuse my language, but NO ****ING WAY :thud

OMFG I'M SO HAPPY! :weep an FMA OP is AMAZING :D the single gets released on June 3rd, btw.

http://image.news.livedoor.com/newsi...62c5f401f1.jpg

:cool btw today is YUI's b-day so she's officially 22 years old!

Happy Birthday YUI! :happybday

Lisa, looks like your wish of someone other than Stereopony doing a FMA theme came true. :laugh

haha i know, right?! dreams really do come true :laugh

no it hasn't but WAH for Fullmetal Alchemist ?

my younger sister will do a happy dance now

awesome thanks for that Lisa & happy birthday YUI

nice YUI pic <3

Seriously, 22 years old? She looks like she could pass off as a teenager for another couple of years.

Happy birthday, YUI!

Woot, the theme song for Fullmetal Alchemist! Awesome! :D

:D

my younger sister's so excited when I told her about it yesterday since she watched the anime

Me too. :yes

another rolling star = WIN :thud i'd be beyond happy, lol.

Ost Fullmetal alchemist and an upbeat song?
That would be great like rolling star (ost bleach) :laugh
Can't wait to hear it~

am I the only one who'd enjoy a rockish ballad? :( :(
but I may be getting the single anyway :) my dad promised me to buy it for me :D :D

for openings, it's usually upbeat songs, so i dunno about a ballad, lol. but i do love YUI's ballads :D

but I wouldn't want a complete ballad like "namidairo" more like "love is all" or sth... a ballad, but quite an upbeat one...

i get what your saying :yes guess we'll just see when the anime airs, lol. :P

I don't know if someone already said it but the single will be out on 3rd June and we can hear the song(anime version) on 5th April

me too , Rolling star was the very 1st YUI song I heard of too & that leads me here after that :laugh

my younger sister said that again should be an upbeat no. because of the theme & concept of Fullmetal Alchemist

She watched the show so she knows & she's so excited about the new season & hearing YUI's new song . Both a win win situation for her

yeah it was posted a few posts back :yes

Really, I always have missed the boat XD

lol it's ok better late than never :laugh

*late* OMG!! :thud I hope the song is liiiike... My Generation meets Rolling star! :D

that was a quick hiatus

That'd be an interesting mix. Kinda liking it myself. :yes

April 5th is so soon! I can't wait to hear it! I want it to sound different though... I'm not a huge fan of rolling star...

Haha, i agree :D YAY im looking forward to the her new upbeat song! I do hope that it will be a distinct one like rolling star!

short preview of "again"!

yay!~

it's half ballad-ish, half upbeat as I wanted!! now I'm toatlly getting the single :D

it seems really nice and just what I wanted ^o^ YUI you're so nice to me~

LOL, and i guess i was wrong about it being really "upbeat" then, too! :laugh but i love it :D

hehe, see you have to listen to my intuition next time :D

haha totally :cool

:D :D

btw, I've uploaded the preview for a friend so if anyone plans on litening to this 15s over and over again (like I do) enjoy: http://www.mediafire.com/?qotmyegkmzw

your awesome, lol. thanks! :D

you're welcome :D I kinda messed up the name though :yredface

I like the preview. Can't wait to hear the full song.

I'm ready for my dose of 'YUI'!! :love

awesome me go download it when I get back home from school :)

same for me & my younger sister , Weijie :D

man I just had a brainwave . Wouldn't it be awesome if she were to release a compliation album filled with her YUI acoustics which were all included in her singles ?

if she has done 1 for all her B-sides in MY SHORT STORIES , I don't see why she shouldn't do this at all :yes

thanks a lot. I'm downloading immidiately!

The preview sounds good! :D

Thanks for sharing~ XD

"again" sounds like Highway chance ~episode 2~! :D I can't wait for the full song! :)

omg I love Highway Chance :smitten

it will be great if again can sound something like that , only even better than Highway Chance

again sounds alright, but I'm betting I'll like it a lot more once I hear the full version. The preview is just a tad bit too short.

Me too!! :smitten OMG, that would be great!! :D

you can hear & see the 15 secs of again via http://listentheworld.wordpress.com/...short-preview/

it has some Fullmetal Alchemist footages in the backdrop & this pic was taken by the blog author of http://listentheworld.wordpress.com/ on the way to an alan concert :

http://listentheworld.files.wordpres...pg?w=322&h=429

can't wait for again :smitten

oh, this pic is so beautiful :love
I hope the cover is something like this :love

^ Me too! I like the promo pics :D

I need more of "again". The preview is a little short and uh I love how this new song sound nothing similiar to anything she's done before. :luv2

yeah I hope a longer preview of again will be out soon

my younger sister was complaining as to why it's only 15 secs ?!

I'm loving that 15 sec clip. I keep replaying it.
YUI net was updated with news of the single
credits http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Music/Inf...ion/index.html

oh, I love the tracklist :love
SUMMER SONG acustic will be probably way better than the original ^^"

Pictures of YUI and a high schooler at school live? Or is it YUI as a high schooler at a school live?

cool tracklist! i wonder what "Sea" will sound like :P

YUI, I love you!!! :smitten I look forward to the single! <3

Apparently, it's YUI dressed as a high school student at a live at the school. :)

haha i can't imagine YUI in a schoolgirl uniform :laugh

Didn't quite know how the "x" was to be read as. Thanks.

Yay for the summer song remix!!

should be this:

thanks for posting the tracklist for again

YAY for SUMMER SONG ~YUI Acoustic Version~ :D , I love her acoustics , it's great that she has done so once well again :yes

I look forward to hear Sea too

Thanks for the vid. Never seen it before.

YUI-net fanclub is shutting down - http://listentheworld.wordpress.com/...own/#more-7356

oh no :(

really nice pic!

I listened to the preview of again!! I can't say anything about it because I find I can't hear it very much because of the voice of the man!

LOL :laugh

it's only 15 secs so yeah it's not a fair judgement at all

hopefully a longer preview will be up in due time :yes

Here's the full song http://sharebee.com/aaecd821
thanks to the uploader

Here's an MF link for those that need it.

I love it. The little fast parts before the chorus rock!!

AHHHH OMFG THANK YOU! :weep off to listen.

edit: totally love it, as expected. it's very different from her work from last year, too. looks like the break did YUI well :D

Kewl. I'll go check it out.

Thanks so much Sundae!

Just listened to the song. I loved the fast parts and the song as a whole. again is #1 material, hope it gets more promotion that just the tie-in. This is a lot coming from me since I really don't like YUI's music.

lol I uploaded again via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88292 without checking on here that it has been already uploaded :laugh

but anyway wow it's very different from her previous works for sure . Not as catchy on 1st listen but it gets better as each listen goes by

welcome back YUI :D

I agree - it gets catchier with repeated listens. I was hoping for a catchier comeback song, but again isn't bad at all.

true :yes

at least she's finally back with some new material , be it good/bad
