HYNA - The First Thread

I discovered her through Koda Kumi's shoutbox. The PV is very raunchy and hot! The song is great too! It takes some time to grow onto you. This release comes in a CD+DVD version I believe. You get 3 original songs + PV/Making-of/Interview/Live and more for only...600 yen!! That is a STEAL!

PRE-ORDER TARATIKA (comes out June 15th)

Her stylist should die. The music is okay. I'm never watching that PV again. I'd say its a steal for 600 yen though.

This girl took kuu's erokakkoii truck from the d***

I get a feeling of kuu's Selfish pv and other random pvs around that era. Omg she's doing what kuu should be also doing nowadays, I miss my ****ty kuu :cry

Anyway her vocals are a bit like Moon Kana's LOL

I pretty much instantly fell in love with the song :luv2

She does kinda look like **** in the main part of the PV with the long blonde hair, but the other parts looked really awesome. It's about time Japan had a new J-Pop ****!

...also just preordered on CDJapan. That price was just too good to pass up. A CD with three different songs and a DVD with a PV, the making of, the recording, a live, an interview, and more for less than $10? Count me in.

The song is actually pretty damn good. I think people are going to be put off by the PV, but I actually really like it :P I will be looking forward to new releases.

^ I agree. That's too bad too since it sounds like she has a good, unique voice. I don't expect she'll be huge, but hopefully she has some level of success.

Cover btw:

Very catchy, but she reminds me of a thai prostitute. Well that's rather mean of me, but. She's probably plenty beautiful, but that look O_O

I'm really digging the song!

Nah, not liking it so much. :(

Definitely not my style... so I don't like her either.

Love the cover!

The second her deeper voice came out of my speakers I was in love. Such a cool voice. And I think she's too sexy to be big in Japan. I expect most of her fans will be ****ty gyaru. I will keep an eye out for her in the gyaru magazines...

I asked her on twitter what the b-sides were going to be like and she said one is a dance song and the other a ballad. I'm interested to see what kind of ballad she puts out 0_0

I thought the song was pretty cool.... not amazing, but I only imagine her getting better as the time goes. She has a very nice voice, and she is so pretty.

She has Twitter???? So gonna follow!

^ DIVA_HYNA

Awesome.

I like to keep an open mind when it comes to music, so I'll be waiting on her other two songs :).

she is like Kuu 2011 version
but more sexy and dirty

I really enjoyed the song and the PV. When she was in the white outfit she did make me think of Emma Frost from the X-men comics.

I thought that too, but i personal thought her look also screamed P*RN STAR
besides her look and the video, her song is kinda catchy, but not really my style i guess.
Though i am curious for other music of her

HYNA" is singer and song writer in Japan.
"HYNA" originates from the meaning of "Hot Girl" in Spanish.
Hot points out what? It points her sexy performance? Or her wonderful voice?
True, but not enough. The way she lives itself is hot like an erupted volcano!
DIVA HYNA is not just a skilled singer based on accumulated trainings or experiences of live performance.
For her, live music is not just a concert but the total entertainment show.
She always surprises surroundings; while audiences are still basking in the afterglow of HYNA's delicate ballad music, she shows the passionated dance as the next performance with wicked smile.
Let's join and get into her mysterious, stimulative, but somehow nostalgic zone.
