Introducing new singer "ena"
 

Ena Matsumoto is a fashion producer who currently works for the magazine EMODA. She met producer SoulJa to work in her debut song released in the digital single Only One / I still love U through iTunes Japan. The song is used to promote the magazine.

Only One


I still love U

TV-CM feat. Only One


I think she is really good and looks a lot like Leah Dizon to me..

Hell yeah that song is awesome! omg I'm so excited!

It's been a long time since I heard a debut song from a new artist that I was totally in love with. Not since immi.

Love her voice too :heart And she's gorgeous!

The ballad reminds me of koda <3

Are the songs out already? Must have them now. omg.

Must promote.

She's ok. Kind of like ICONIQ.

but has already made a much better impression on me than ICONIQ.
catchy but not usually my type

but well see. she seems promising in her style

Only one is really catchy! Her voice sounds a bit weak but I don't mind if she's going that road :)
Will keep an eye on her, hopefull she'll release more stuffs later on :)

She kinda looks like lady gaga :luv2 I LOVE only one! I'm so lucky to get in this thread, I really like the song, and she's so pretty

These are the covers from iTunes Japan

They are already out but I can't find them anywhere

Oo Only One makes me very excited ♥ That's a good thing :laugh

I'll be looking out for her~

She's honestly such a beautiful girl :luv2

^ikr! She has some really interesting features. I've been looking into her modeling stuff and EMODA. She's totally awesome. I love her features as a model. Makes her face not boring lol She seems to be quite well loved in the J-fashion community too.

I hope she continues to make these dancy type songs...or any kind of songs really...a lot of models don't really go far...I guess Leah Dizon got pretty big though...

@visionfactory: omg I know. No one has leaked them out of Japan it seems...it must be on some p2p sites...

her face remind me bout mika nakashima....
lol....

i like only one @_@ it's catchy!
ag, i want it XD

mmmh standart voice & standart songs.
But I love her style in the only one pv

I still love you sounds great , I like it. Only One sounds nice too but I don't like it as much as I still love you.

Her voice in only one Sound like ICONIQ but I like it the song sound really great :heart

Looks like her voice isn't really strong for pure ballads but she is not bad :yes

I want only one in full ! :weep

EDIT : Here's her full name in Japanese according to her ameblo 松本恵奈 = Ena Matsumoto Megumi

http://ameblo.jp/ena-matsumoto/

wow, only one is very catchy! i love it! :heart

Wow, I might love it!!! I wish we had the full mp3s.

any link to download??

maybe it's available to download in Kyo Music City (KMC) but I don't have an account there so I can't check ^_^

Oh now I need full song right now !! :weep

EDIT : I found a 45sec ver of only one , More of great scenes :luv2

it's not...that was the first place I checked lol

^ oh :( ok I made a request in jpopsuki for this

^ YES! I really want the full song of only one I'll be disappointed if they only had I STILL LOVE U :laugh

@visionfactory: awesome~ maybe we'll get lucky...

Maybe I could put in a request at kmc...but I don't think it'll be answered...

edit: Just put one in...maybe we'll get really lucky! lol

The song is...WOW.
She looks really familiar, I'm sure I've seen her in a Vivi magazine or something :/

lol is she drunk in that extended preview or something?

She was holding onto the wall and looked like a few stumbles.

She appears graceful for posing but it looks like she has no rhythm...

Did she just finger snap off beat?

I really like her! She has a nice voice..I hope she does well :yes

Thanks ^^

I'll check her out, but only because we share the same name xD

she did snap off beat... :headache

haha, oh well.

i really wish someone would find these songs already... :(

me too, I think this single would have been done well in Oricon.....

i would just buy it myself if i could. :(

She has an... interesting face... Is she mixed? Actually, I found a nice picture of her:



Anyway, she has an interesting voice, and I like Only One.

^I thought the same too, she doesnt look like a real Japanese people. Or maybe too much make-up?

I'm so tired listening the preview of only one in youtube everyday

^I KNOW.

Okay. So like, we have to buy it from itunes Japan. And apparently, the way to do that out of the country, is to get a gift card for Itunes Japan online, and then use it in the store, and just put down whatever address.

I can't really do this right now. I was gonna consider asking a member here who lived there if they could do it with a credit card, and then I could pay them through paypal or something...because no one is uploading these. And it's driving me insane


I considered asking my friend who's stationed there...but I dont think he has a japanese credit card....

^I heard that the songs can't be like, re-uploaded or something. I was reading on some LJ community that a girl downloaded them, but iTunes wouldn't let her give it out.

^that's true...crap...I'll have to find a way.

edit: after googling, it's very possible and not difficult at all apparently.

I knew someone had to have already figured this out. I always say, with computers, where there's a will, there's a way lol

^
^
Yeah it's not that hard, I can put digitally in a mp3 file any sound that comes from my PC, if somebody gets the song I can teach him how to do this :D

I really want this, too! I'm hooked on Only One, this song makes me REALLY excited for any more collaborations they may make.

*shrug* You'll have to take it up with the girl from LJ. I've never downloaded from iTunes so...

I looked into the gift card thing...and apparently for 3000 yen, it's about $45...

which sucks. And the 1500 yen ones werent in stock at the site I saw...and they were like $25...

I wonder if it's possible to use a site like CELGA...

i would just do the gift card thing if i had the money right now. it sucks.

i can't believe its so hard to find these songs. :(

I'm pretty sure I read the same post and what was said was she couldn't 'rip' it. She can still upload the m4p... It's a file saved to her computer after all.

you can remove the protection from itunes files, i'm sure that person just didn't know how...or have enough intelligence to realize it was possible.

...or didn't want to. Which honestly...is what I figured. lol

^perhaps so. :(

hopefully someone will have mercy on us. i want these songs even more now that i can't have them. :yes

Lol there's only so many times I can repeat that preview everyday :thud

^I need to hear only one to complete my days

i can't believe we still don't have these songs. :(

i'm going to go cry now.

These must be like the hardest to find songs ever!

^it's cause apple is retarded.

I liked the CM a lot <3 the music video looks stupid, but the song is killer!

Not too fond of the ballad tbh

The farthest I was able to get was to preview the songs on iTunes...

I'm sure there's a miracle worker out there!! Just "only one" is all right with me. :P

It could just be Japan, because someone on YouTube sent me an Australian iTunes file and it works just fine on my computer...

^iTunes Japan still uses DRM on their files and it's pretty restrictive. I think you're only allowed to listen to your music on one computer. :P

Most other iTunes stores did away with DRM a few years ago and instead just embed your account info into your files; the idea being you won't share them because they can be tracked.

But there are many ways around that.

One of the easiest (in terms of no additional programs being needed) is to burn the song to a music CD (which iTunes does allow) and then rip the song from that CD back into your library. Of course a conversion program or something like that avoids having to burn at all, but still.

It can totally be done - a member here did it with YUMMY's You Make A Magic feat. Ami Suzuki.

Well, yeah, it can be done.

I'm just not too optimistic about it when the most common method is to transcode the file. Transcoding from lossy to lossy is never a good idea and I hate how common it is in the Asian music scene. As long as the bitrate looks big, people don't care how it sounds. :P

The best way would be to remove the DRM from the protected AAC files using an external app, but I don't know if there are any apps like that still being actively developed and maintained since projects like that are usually spearheaded by Westerners. If someone could tell me of one (maybe via PM as I don't know if it's allowed to link to stuff like that) I'd be interested.

Well cloudhoney just did it for the TK piano mix of SDW.

It's definitely more than do-able.

People just be stingy.

So...I know this is old and we are still nowhere near getting the song...BUT...I've been watching more ENA lately, and I decided to finally watch this MTV special thing on youtube about her store...and low and behold, it had all sorts of info on the song "Only One"....so peoples might have already seen this, but I'm gonna post it here anyways....

It has a much longer clip of the song playing, and you can see her in the recording studio, and filming the PV. Soulja is in it too lol (This is part 2, part 1 is more about emoda)



So I really love the whole version...and I have to find a way to get the song or my life is incomplete...does ANYONE have it yet?

^I keep looking around for it every day but I still haven't had any luck.

Me neither :(

Life sucks without Ena! :(

does anyone think that her speaking voice is annoying? :laugh but her singing voice is good

^lol so is her laughing voice! hahaha it was cracking me up so much...

It's like...her voice goes with how tiny she is or something.

What?? STILL no full versions almost 2 months later??? I demand an explanation!

Oh she works for a magazine?! I always thought she was some random fashion fangirl xD;;..... *feels dumb*

^she was a model and still does a lot of fashion work, but now I believe her title is "Creative Director" or Designer or something, for EMODA...

tbh...I dont think she's really serious about the whole music thing...but i dont care this song is great.

;_; I see a new post in this thread and keep on thinking that someone finally got the song :thud

^ That applies to me as well..........

^me too. Ugh.

So I found this girl on last fm, who I *thought* had the song...but turns out she was trying to get it from someone else....

I go to check on the other person, and it's the same sutekirainbow from livejournal.

digi-chan has been trying to help her rip it, since geraldy (the lj girl) still says she doesnt know how...BUT she said she would do it, if someone would teach her~

So I really hope that she doesnt decide it's too much work...and that we'll have the full song in a few days or a week or something...

digi-chan said she would give me notice when she got the song...so...cross your fingers!


random, but...I have the oddest feeling that I know Geraldy...her name...i mean, how many people have that name lol...oh well.

emiko... darling. give it up lol.

aren't there users here from Japan? Don't any of you know people in Japan? Just PayPal them the 2 bucks or whatev and have them rip it rather than this seemingly slow child who needs to ~learn~.

I made a thread for that in the Japan section of AHS but nobody replied :/ And I don't know people in Japan and I'm not spending $25.50 in a gift card for 2 songs :/

Never! :P


I will have that song without paying a million dollars for it!

Our users from Japan...even some of my own friends...dont seem particularly interested in helping...but who knows.

Haha even though we've only heard a 45 seconds preview...we're searching for this song like crazy :laugh It better be an amazing song in full :thud

^lol we'll i've heard quite a lot of the song i think...

the preview on itunes was different than the 45 sec one...and the one that plays in the MTV video is like the 45 one but extended a lot...

it's actually a bit different than i thought it would be...but i still love it to death.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!
i love it...

Only One <<< awesome...
huaw huaw wanna it~

Does somebody know a site where I can buy a Japanese iTunes Card? (Not Jbox because they don't have the 20$ cards in stock)

^so far, that's the only site I found :/

also because they let you have just a scan of the card. But you could probably use Celga or something and buy from a japanese site...dont know how much it would be though.

http://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/onl...le/id387404066

huaw...i dont have enough money to buy this song T_T
