The Official BONNIE PINK Thread
 

Does anyone else like Bonnie? I think she's amazing, definitely a hidden treasure in the JPop scene. She's celebrating her 10th anniversary this year, and will also be releasing another single on June 28 called "A Perfect Sky".

I like some of her stuff. I can't wait for her 10 year anniversary collection :yes I just wish they included more PVs

awesome news. Thank you. Of course Bonnie Pink is a hidden treasure in the japanese music industry. I like her sounds very much. Her voice is special.
I will definitly buy her new single and her new best of album.

Yay! BONNIE's best is going to be amazing <3

Yay a Bonnie thread!
I can't wait till the new single. :)
I kinda wish there were gonna be more PVs, too, but atleast there's a ton of songs.

Ooh~ the best album sounds good.
I haven't listened to a lot of Bonnie's songs, and she's alright. I love her voice though :P

Bonnie is one of my favourites.

She's also releasing a dvd of last year's 'Golden Tears' tour.
All these recent releases make me worried that she might be quitting....

:(

She can't go on forever. 10 years is a long time but who knows maybe she's not even quitting :shrug If she does maybe she'll make a comeback in a few years :swink They always do.

I'm definately going to pick up Bonnie's best... Ikinda gave up on her but now im interested in her again.what a way to comeback to herwitha newsingle and a best!

^ glad to see you didn't give up on her. I personally thought Golden Tears was an amazing album. But it seemed to turn a lot of people off.

^I loved Golden Tears as well!
It was so fresh and energetic! Very new. Love it. :)

Most people seem to love Even So....but I'm not really a fan of that one...

I love Bonnie. I really liked her latest song LOVE IS BUBBLE. I hadn't listened to her in a while and it got me back into her.

I was a fan of the Even So album. I never heard the Golden Tears album, however.

EVEN SO was AMAZING.
Not sure If I heard all the tracks from GOLDEN TEARS, yet. I'm lazy. I'll do it tommorrow... or something.

I enjoyed 'Even So' alot, but my favourite is 'Just a Girl' and I can see where people are coming from whether they like or dislike 'Even So'.

'Mirror' is my favourite from 'Golden Tears'.

I'm in two minds about the 'Every Single Day' though, I mean, I want to get it, but if I do I want the first press with the DVD. But financially, I'm not really in the position to spend that sort of money on one CD, and that most of my favourites fro Bonnie are actually album tracks and not singles.

yeah i like mirror from golden tears. A very nice song!

I was mulling over the same issue when it first went up for Pre-Order.
But I decided that damnit, I'm gonna get it anyway!
*free YA shipping helped with that too....>.>*

But I've pretty well decided that I'm going to collect as much Bonnie stuff as possible.
I'm working on just the cds right now....still have a long way to go.....
o.o

*oh, and - hooray for mirror!*

I absolutely love her voice! I'm also new to her. :) I have 2 little questions:

1) Is this her first best-of album?
2) Does "Every Single Day" includes her "best" songs from the 1st album to now? Or is it from a certain album to now?

Well, to answer your questions, it isn't her first Best album. Her first one was titled "Bonnie's Kitchen" and was released on Dec. 17, 1999.

I would call "Every Single Day" a single collection instead of a Best collection. It contains all her singles she's released, plus a few songs that haven't been on singles, I believe. Like ~K+ said, its a double edged sword. Most of her singles are really great, but then she has tons of spectacular album tracks as well. Nevertheless, I'm still picking this one up :yes

^^ Thanks for answering the questions!

I'm looking forward to this album!

I never heard her. Does anybody recomend her to me??

Well, you really should try listening to her then. Her last four albums have all been excellent: "Just A Girl", "Present", "Even So" and "Golden Tears".

Definitely try her out. Bonnie writes all her lyrics, and composes all her songs - she even helps out on the arrangement a lot of times as well. It helps to add to the natural/authentic feeling of her songs.

Also, the cover for Every Single Day has been revealed. Check the first post!

Awesome cover! :thumbsup

'A Perfect Sky' is quite catchy, although not as refreshing as 'LOVE IS BUBBLE', it reminds me alot of 'Tonight, the night'.

Agreed.
It's a fun summery song. I quite like it.

And the PV is super cute!
*watch for falling pineapples*

What a gorgeous cover! I cannot wait to pick this up!

I seriously love bonnie, she's one of the most underrated artists as far as wide renowned fandom goes (i know a ton of people in japan who've never even heard of her) but she's been consistently one of the best artists over the years.

Even So is my favourite album by far ^^

I liked A perfect Sky better than Love is Bubble!

>she's one of the most underrated artists

I agree with you.
By the way, she is the artist who writes and sings English lyrics most in Japan, though she is a pure Japanese. And I'd like to hear the opinions of English-speaking people whether her English is good or not, grammatically and artistically. And how about her pronounciation? (I think it's very good.)

Bonnie's english is pretty much perfect from what i can tell. Her pronounciation in her songs seems excellent (and has improved considerably from album to abum). Plus, i have the video of her gig in Canada and she speaks fluently in english to the audience, though you can tell she's very nervous about it ^_^. She still retains a slight Japanese accent, but that just add's to the charm :)

^I was at that concert! *im the girl with the domokun on the dvd!*

I spoke with her, and I was really impressed by her pronunciation and comprehension. She understood everything I said to her, and managed to keep up with my quick, excited pace.
When speaking to the crowd she mentioned that she had only done one other show outside Japan, so she really didn't know what to talk about between songs. *then we all cheered for her :P*

If you listen to some of her older songs, her pronunciation isn't always the best - but she's worked hard, and is now an excellent English speaker. ^_^

^ i envy you so much it hurts >< i would have killed to see her live. I loved when she said she didn't know what to talk about between songs, it shows how honest she is, instead of making it u as she goes along.

>Bonnie's english is pretty much perfect from what i can tell. Her pronounciation in her songs seems excellent.

Thank you. I'm glad to hear that. I hear she studied English by herself in Japan without studying abroad.

Yeh i heard she studied by herself aswell which is even more impressive.

Wow - that's amazing she studied it all by herself. My mother says that learning that Bonnie Pink did that by herself, it reminds her of me since I've been studying Japanese without studying abroad or having anyone to help me.

Her English is excellent. Even in some of her older albums, her English was considerably good.

I really like the cover :yes

Well I just pre-ordered the album along with Heartsdales Last one.


Im liking the single cover she looks really pretty but I don't like the album one to much.

I'm not a fan of the 'Every Single Day' cover neither, they should at least get rid of the text.

By the way, the first press cover of 'A Perfect Sky' is different to the regular version.

I guess I expected more of a Face picture.


BIGGER COVERS:

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...V66801736_.jpg

She looks all burned and cripsy in the Every Single Day picture.....hm...

I really like the original A Perfect Sky picture, but I do not like the limited edition one very much.
*damn me for pre-ordering the limited edition....oh well...*

Can't you just re-order? Does the limited version come with something extra ?

^yeah, it comes with some Anessa 'liesure sheet' or some such thing.

I'm not going to freak out if I have the cover I don't like as much. Maybe I'll just buy the regular version too. :P

I love Bonnie THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS much! ^_^

I thinking it comes with a dvd.

XD


I was wondering how come the DVD and Bonnie's Best album doesn't have more pv's?

^Because all of her other PV's have been released on past DVDs (B.P.V. Vol 1 and B.P.V. Vol.2)

Yes but still. Im sorry to compare but Koda Kumi has her pv's released on dvds before. And her Best Album had all her pvs.

^Koda Kumi also released 12 singles for 12 weeks :P
That's Avex marketing.

But really, Bonnie's releases are a bit more sporadic than most artists.
She doesn't always follow the typical single-single-single-album formula.

She's released singles that haven't been on any albums (Surprise!, Inu to Tsuki, Daisyi, etc), and some albums have only had one single (usually released just before the album).
None of Bonnie's singles have come in cd+dvd format. I think that's a relatively new thing.

By Bonnie's usual release schedule, I always got the impression that she finished writting an album, and then decided which songs she would use as singles - not the other way around like a lot of artists.

Hey, we're just lucky that we're getting any kind of PV DVD release from Bonnie :P

Yes but me. Im a Bonnie Pink with out seeing her pvs. And I would love to see some. Their soo hard to find >_< and I was hoping more video would be on the dvd.

^ I understand that completely.

But as it is, the only real options are to either buy her PV DVDs, or to Check out YouTube

That pic just made me order it :yes :luv2

I just found out my friend's housemate's friend is Bonnie Pink's drummer...!

My friend's housemate, who's Japanese and also an artist herself (but not famous), has come to Australia wtih her band to see the bands here to get inspiration. Apparently she was looking through my friend's playlist, noticed Bonnie Pink and mentioned this fact. She's met Bonnie Pink personally too.

Now I want to ask for an autograph..=o even though it's kinda long-winded..

Some recent pics from Bonnie's blog:

I've edited my post above to make some changes. The single is a double a-side single, and has one b-side song - You and I. :)

Nice. BUMP OF CHICKEN produced two songs.

^no, thats BURNING Chicken.

:/

When I first saw "Burning Chicken", BUMP OF CHICKEN came to mind, lol. So you're not the only one that thought so, Yum Fruit Salad.

Btw, who is Burning Chicken then? Anyone have info on who they are? Or is it just one person?
