NEW RELEASE
Debut single - "sad to say" 2009.06.24


http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/4183446/
large cover, promo if anyone wants it.

She reminds me of Kumi for a reason... IDKY

I like the song alot. I hope she does well.

I'll check her out, thx.

her song "sad to say" is surprisingly really good!

the song is actually rly good. i was expecting it to be as embarrassing as that cover :innocent

I actually really like the song! It's nice =)

I like her style. Look at all that jewellery~ *-*
sad to say is really good.

thanks for the discovery . i was affraid because of the cover too but actually her song is very good . her voice is very good too .

anyone can pm me the MP3 of this song or the single ?

i hope she will do some live at music station or cdtv .

wow, she sure is different than other sony artists, lol. i dunno if i like the song so much. the chorus is nice, though. her english isn't so bad either.

Yeah her outfit doesn't match the song. TBH, she looks like she's suppose to be rapping instead of singing.

^ lol yeah, I agree.

Nice song, though :yes

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow, O_O , i didnt expect such a good song, its amazing, and her vocal and production

It sounds like....Koda Kumi + old school utada... she looks like Koda kumi meets ayu...meets lady gaga. I think she might make it big though despite these... attributes. Her voice is full of strength and life.

Wow! This is a pretty good song. O.O

i was afraid because the cover is....not good.
then i was afraid because she was yelling for the first little bit of the song.
now im afraid that im going to be buying her stuff
hahaha

great song! really! o_o

Why is she squinting through the whole PV? Well, except for the end, when she stops pretending to be sad and just walks off screen with an arrogant expression on her face.

Anyways, I don't like her style at all, so I don't think I'll really be getting into her. Though the song and her voice are pretty nice.

The song is really good! :D

I seriously love this song. Every time I log on I click on the thread just to watch the PV. And I've listen to the song on iTunes over 35 times now.

her voice is kinda weird, I like it.

I also like the style of ballad it is...I like these with the beats in the back.

I'll definitely get this single when it comes out...I cant wait to hear some upbeat songs from her as well.

thanks for the find :)

I like sad to say!!
Sounds really good!!!

It's a nice song as a first one but quite random!

interesting... waiting for downloads :D

^Same. I really love this song.

I have this song on repeat like no one's business...thank you so much for recommending her! :luv2

This song sound good. but I dun like her image though. hmm..

I made a PV rip, if anyone wants to download: http://www.mediafire.com/?jryixve1nek

It's not great, but it's something until a HQ version comes out.

thanks for the PV rip!

The PV is up for download now, in case you want it as non streaming. http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91053

Is your rip from the YouTube stream? I made a HQ mp3 rip from MPEG2, you can find it in the thread I linked to above.

I love her style

thanks for the pv and rip. I saw her release on cdjapan and was interested because I thought she looks pretty. I like the song and the lyrics but she acts way too cool and bad ass in the pv... but then again I like her style (except the bubblegum haircolor lol)

what about her?? never heard before! the song seems cool..

It's been removed. :(

Omg I officially love sad to say!

That's good IMO seeing how they aren't promoting it. Hope she doesn't drop like crazy.

Where can I download the Full Single ?? Or didn't leaked it yet ??

^Nope it didn'tleak yet.

Not normally my kind of music (not a huge rnb fan) but this is REALLY good o.o. Will keep an eye on her in future.

I like her voice but her style gives the impression that she's a rapper. The song is alright in my opinion.

actually MTV is showing her PV everyday...hahaha MTVJAPAN

OMG GO TO HER OFFICIAL WEBSIITE AND CLICK A LINK AT THE TOP....
and she turns black!!!...like Ayu's appears bs LOVEppears covers LOL

and

talented girl!

WoW she is up to #11 today

Is it their job to show PVs?

I know! I hope she makes it into the Top 10 tomorrow.

^yea...but they dont show every artiste...
and for a debut artiste to be shown everdayy...thats some promotion already

I wouldn't call it promotion. They do that here everyday in the U.S.

Should we ask a admin to move this thread into the Artist and Band section?

I don't mind moving it to Artists & Bands. Just let me know what I should rename it (thread title) to and it will be done... :)

sad to say is up to #8 today! YAY FOR TOP 10!

Zemus if you could move it that'll be awesome. I guess you can leave the title as is. What do you guys think?

I know I just checked the Oricon site. I'm glad she didn't drop.

How about something like "Comeback to JASMINE's first thread"

"Jasmine"? "i'm in luv wit u"? oh my God....:thud

Are all Japanese music stores like this? If so I'd like to move there.

So, I'm just going through her blog and I found a clip of her singing Ashita ga Kuru Nara.

http://ameblo.jp/jasmine-world/page-16.html#main

So sounds great. She should do a cover.

The inside of Sony Music. Not what I thought it would look like.

^Aw you're making me blush.

Zemus, I guess you can move it and change the title to "Comeback to JASMINE's first thread"

Wow @ promotion in CD stores. Yep, I've seen similar promotion for artists like that when I was there. Especially Utada's This Is The One (Which happens to be on the same shelves where sad to say is!)

Oh cool, the thread got moved!

I'm going to watch the PV and give the song and pv a try. :)

I know and here I thought there was none whatsoever.

Bad news - sad to say is down to #12!

yay for a thread. this girls is so talented when i see she writes her lyrics and makes her music. and im so in luv with her single. im so obsessed with her right now. lol. i cant stop singing sad to say.

Although she dropped today. I hope she'll rise back into the Top 10 tomorrow. At least it wasn't a huge drop.

And she did! She rose up to #7 today!

I love her voice! :heart

She's such an talented artist, not only singing but writing and composing, too.
Yay to #7, I hope she raises even further with Sad to say!

She made it back into the Top 10. Yay! I wonder if she'll be in the Top 10 for the weekly ranking.

anyone has the lyrics?

i'm disappointed in the single, i only like "sad to say" :(
i hope her next release is better!

hurm.
I was expecting something amazing but.. is just a nice single D:
koi is my favourite track for now.

thanks but does anyone has translation?

JASMINE is still at #7 today.

^I'm glad she's doing well with this single. I can't wait for the next one. Hopefully they'll be some lives for that one.

looks like people are calling jasmine "Hikaru Utada's reappearance" execs are puzzled by her ability to grab #1 on ringtone charts even before her debut as well as her sales without a major tie-up.

and she owes it all to me ;)

LOL why should they be puzzled? sad to say is an awesome song!

hahha thats reall cool. we'lll see what she does. im sure she has an edgier sound that has yet to be shown

I think she did well for her debut. After all it's not she appeared on TV.

I am totally in love with this song, a great debut and I am happy to see how well she is doing for her first single. Can't wait till her next one.

aawww article about her in japan zone

She's often referred to as the next Utada Hikaru, but not much else is known about her. The nationwide media has shown barely a glimpse of young singer Jasmine (20), but her single "Sad to Say" has already topped the digital download charts. It's being reported as the first time an artist has reached No.1 on the charts before making their official debut, which Jasmine did a week later on June 24. The song hasn't even benefited from a TV commercial tie up, and its success has been mostly through online viral marketing and the comparisons with Utada. She also wrote her own songs from the start and did all her pre-debut promotions only on the radio. Jasmine says she considers Utada a big influence but was first inspired to become a singer at the age of 13 after seeing a gospel choir perform at the US military base in Yokota. She dropped out of high school in the tenth grade and passed an audition with Sony Music a year later. She has since performed in clubs and appears every Thursday on the J-Wave radio station. No doubt we'll be hearing a lot more from this young singer.

Yeah, thanks!
I'm so excited about further releases, she's able to become big in Japan!

Sweet article.

And JASMINE entered the Top 10 again.

*7 *7 *7 16 15 12↑*8　JASMINE 「SAD TO SAY」

yay a thread for Jasmine!!
i love her debut single, Sad To Say is such a great song ^^
dind't know she composed and written every song in the single, she's so talented!!

Well "sad to say" and "Koi" were co-written and co-composed. "I'm in luv wit u", both of them were written and composed by JASMINE herself.

But that doesn't mean she any less talented. She did do most of the work herself.

her english sounds really good, does she ever live in US?

she looks cute, I'll give her a try (:

I don't think so. Maybe she lived near the military base and interacted with people they spoke English very well.

Did you guys see that?
