Spoiler:
YUI Returns to Music With New Band

Quote:

Singer/songwriter YUI (Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) is returning to music as a a vocalist for the new band Flower Flower. The four-member band will make its formal debut at the Japan Jam event in Tokyo on May 4. The band will then play at the Tokyo Metropolitan Rock Festival 2013 on May 26. Flower Flower has launched an official website and Twitter account.

YUI formed the band with other musicians she respects, and the band started studio sessions earlier this year. Flower Flower has already been performing "secret" live events across Japan. YUI said that with Flower Flower, she is able to purely enjoy the music that the band creates, and from each new performance, she naturally gets new ideas for potential new songs.

YUI had announced in November that she would be taking a hiatus from music. She explained then that she wanted to try something new.

YUI has been performing music for eight years, and previously took a short hiatus from music from the end of 2008 to the middle of 2009. She performed the fifth ending theme for the Bleach anime, "Life," and the first opening theme for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, "again." Her newest "YUI Best Albums," titled Green Garden Pop and Orange Garden Pop, were released in Japan on December 5.

YUI to resume her musical activities as a part of band “FLOWER FLOWER”

Quote:

It was revealed that singer-songwriter YUI, who halted her musical activities at the end of last year, will resume her activities as part of rock band “FLOWER FLOWER.”

The band will perform at live event “JAPAN JAM 2013” which will be held at Shinkiba STUDIO COAST on May 4th.

FLOWER FLOWER is the band formed by YUI herself after she called to her the musicians she respected, and she serves as the vocalist and guitarist of the band with the name of “yui” with her completely new look of short blond hair. Apparently, the band started a studio session at the beginning of this year, and also held secret live performances at several locations across Japan since last month.

yui said, “I thought that I would be able to purely enjoy music by creating sound with these members. New flashes and the possibility in music are naturally expanding from each member’s idea and performance.” She also explained regarding the name of the band, “I wanted to give it an unaffected and natural name. There may be so many cool names, but I dared to make it a name that sounds relaxing, and can stay in your head. I hope we can express our powerful and interesting ideas freely.”

After their first appearance at “JAPAN JAM 2013″, FLOWER FLOWER will also perform at “TOKYO METROPOLITAN ROCK FESTIVAL 2013” which will be held at Wakasu Park in Shinkiba, Tokyo on May 26th.

Additionally, they also launched their official site on April 3rd, but it’s currently undecided if the band will release any work at this moment.

YUI Ends Hiatus with A New Band

Quote:

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."

YUI also sports a new look with a short blonde cut. What can you say about this and her comeback?

YesAsia's description of fight

Quote:

On the heels of hit songs like Ikimonogakari’s YELL and Angela Aki’s Tegami ~Haikei Juugo no Kimi e~ , YUI joins a proud tradition with her latest single fight. Like those beloved pop hits, fight is an inspirational song that will be used as the set song for middle school division of the 2012 NHK National School Music Competition.
http://www.yesasia.com/global/fight-...0-en/info.html

Never would have thought YesAsia singled out Ikimonogakari & Angela Aki in the same sentence as YUI x)

So can't wait to hear/watch the full version :D

Now it makes me wonder how the DVD tracklist/contents for fight is going to be like now o_o since this's the 1st time a YUI A-side has both a studio & an acoustic version that both have PVs being made for respectively :O

Wow , I thought Oh My God was short but If you is really short o_o but I like it >3<

Sandy 4th September 2012 01:44 PM

Can't wait ~~~ the acoustic version and PV of fight is so beautiful I end up crying every time. Covers are wonderful, am I seeing a smile..? This is just the kind of a YUI song I wanted for the Autumn. And an acoustic version of HBTY? Great!! I though she'd forgotten the whole song ~~

Klauser_Bateson 4th September 2012 04:43 PM

I have mixed feelings about Fight. Overall the song is meh. The original version is very boring, yet I like the acoustic version for some reason.

If you is amazing and HBTY Acoustic is not bad.

Mirrorcle Monster 4th September 2012 06:14 PM

I'm trying hard to restore my love for YUI, and i will listen to this single with 0 prejudices, but it's been more than two years since she released a great single (Green.a.live being the only thing similar to an exception because of its great a-side)

adantatu2 5th September 2012 12:49 AM

^^I think the same, the acoustic version is better, but the original one is good

KarenPang 5th September 2012 04:13 PM

According to CDJapan , the fight DVD includes the PV for Green a.live

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=SRCL-8097

mmm I was really hoping they will include both the PVs for Green a.live + Lock On , especially Lock On e_e

Guess it might be in the next single's DVD ? but wow , putting 3 PVs in a single DVD doesn't seem very likely

Ah whatever , I'm going to be ordering a copy of the HK press / CD + DVD via HMV HK either tomorrow or on Friday xD

adantatu2 6th September 2012 01:03 AM

No fight acoustic version in this single, maybe for her next release

she usually doesn't do acoustics for the main A-side in the same single , she usually will bring it forward to her next release

although this time round , I'm not sure if she will do an acoustic of fight since it's already quite acoustic-ish

she didn't do an acoustic of Green a.live this time round in fight so :O

Acile 14th September 2012 12:03 PM

Wow, the covers are so pretty! Love the fresh and clean look and the colors are awesome. Looking at the photos makes me want to buy the CD too...

And I've no idea why it's not popular either... I personally think it's a solid YUI single, not outstanding from her previous work, but okay. And I love the acoustic version of Happy Birthday to you you!

I think it'll be miwa to cover Good-bye days, since she's sung it on her radio show, also on her acoustic live few days ago :)

Chiharo 19th September 2012 11:14 AM

Who would have thought that only the most popular songs would get covered? Lol, I'm not bitter but I just wanted to hear some underrated songs being given a chance. But people probably wouldn't want to buy the cover album, then.

kakumei 28th September 2012 04:23 PM

new album listed for 12.05 release now.

omg :dead2 Matsushita Yuya is also releasing his 1st best album on that day too , damn you Sony BMG :grumpy

but I guess the chances of me getting them is quite high & it's about time since MY SHORT STORIES was released 4 years ago :O

I hope 1 of the best album will be an YUI acoustic compilation album , I so will get that if it's true ;_;

adantatu2 8th October 2012 03:57 AM

I thought she would release a studio album, anyway, an acoustic compilation is a really good idea !! Please Sony !!

KarenPang 8th October 2012 04:08 AM

it wouldn't make any sense for her to release a new studio album anyway cos if so , only 1 single to back up the album is risky :O

but yeah I really hope that 1 of the 2 best albums will be a YUI acoustic compilation album ;_;

If so , for that , I definitely will buy it , just like what I did for MY SHORT STORIES :P

Curious to see how the contents will be like for both GREEN GARDEN POP & ORANGE GARDEN POP :O

Both limited editions of the 2 best albums have 2 discs unlike the regular editions that only have 1 disc hmm

LONJJONG 31st October 2012 12:09 PM

I don't expect the album's title!
I thought that it would be something like "THE BEST of..."

lanfix 31st October 2012 12:14 PM

the special set will come with bonus "White Book"

Both ‘green edition’ and ‘orange edition’ are crammed full of my precious songs, so I would be happy to see everybody enjoy them.”
http://www.tokyohive.com/2012/10/yui...imultaneously/

Ah that would explain the way both tracklists are , a mixture of her singles , B-sides & some album tracks :o

LONJJONG 10th November 2012 04:42 PM

OMG which version should I choose??

KarenPang 19th November 2012 02:07 PM

YUI is going on hiatus (again) :(

http://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000084821

That might probably as to why she released both GREEN GARDEN POP & ORANGE GARDEN POP somewhat early as I rather she wait 2 more years to release them in celebrating her 10th anniversary

Bah , hopefully it wouldn't be a long hiatus T_T

adantatu2 19th November 2012 07:11 PM

^Oh no !!!!! Really sad news T_T
I hope this isn't going to be an "Utada hiatus"

Anyway, now i have some time to collect her albums n_n. I bought HOW CRAZY YOUR LOVE and Can't Buy My Love !!!

KarenPang 20th November 2012 01:42 AM

More details on her impending hiatus t.t

Quote:

On November 19th, it was revealed that singer-songwriter YUI will be putting a halt to her music activities at the end of the year.

Through a handwritten announcement on her official website, YUI explained that she has found something new that she wants to try, and has decided to take a break in order to prepare for it. “I know this might cause people to worry, but I am writing this hoping that this letter will convey that I decided on it with a positive mind.”

Regarding her future, she commented, “My style might change, but I want to do lots of fun things through music, so if you’d like, please stay with me.” While on hiatus, YUI plans to report fans of her present situation through her official website.

YUI is scheduled to perform on TV Asahi’s music program, ‘MUSIC STATION‘, on November 23rd. Fans can expect a live announcement from the singer herself.

T_T T_T T_T still

Bigtop 20th November 2012 02:55 AM

:thud

I am very surprised about this hiatus.

But unlike what's going on with Ayu, I think I agree a bit here. :yes

It really makes me wonder why Ayu's well too overworked...

I really can't wait what's up with YUI once she comes back. Hopefully she will be as successful as her young days. But I really have to wonder how different it will be, when you already know of how recently Ayaka's music has changed since before her hiatus in 2009 and her return in 2012... (Ayaka and YUI attended the same music school in Fukuoka, as a reminder)

YuriChan 20th November 2012 04:37 AM

^Wow... I didn't know that. o_o; Thanks for the trivia! :D

KuuXAyu-fan 20th November 2012 05:00 AM

I wonder if maybe she wants to get married and have a baby. Thats all I think think of when it comes to her "shape" changing :p
