HYNA - The First Thread

[NintendoHTF1242]

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

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

[bondingo]

I pretty much instantly fell in love with the song

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 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:

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 agree 100% ...I liked it the second I heard it ! I'm psyched for her music!

Spoiler:

She reminds me of a mix between Gaga and Kuu...don't kill me -hides-!

I've said that in an earlier post. Hopefully when she releases more music under HYNA, she'll develop more of a unique representation of herself. I'm sure she will, we've only heard a few songs under her new stagename.

[Kanzaki]

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!

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

edit:

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.

1988 Born in Japan.
1992 Started playing the piano.
1997 Started composing music and writing lyrics.
2007 Her own music (My Dream) has been selected by AVEX in the audition called a-motion (4000 songs as the total participants.) Moved to Tokyo for the preparation of being the professional singer, contracted to the leading record company.
Through the energetic music live performance, she was offered debut by major company,
however, because she did not want to change her style required by the offering company, she flatly refused the chance.
Due to the strong faith toward her music ideal, she increased a large following naturally and unstoppably.
2010 Artist Stage Co., was established by people who were funs of hers.
May 2011 Finally, she will come out to create tornados among the Japanese music.

And here someone posted her on LJ, with a pic of a promotion truck

comments are pretty divided

[koumori]

Here's a youtube rip of TARATIKA.

http://www.mediafire.com/?4twg4gqlzwwgtdd

The tags are all wrong, there's no cover, and because it's from the video there's 16-17 seconds of silence at the start. But I'm sure someone will fix all of these issues later.

This blows my mind, because there's another Twitter of her too.

http://twitter.com/#!/DIVA_HYNA

It follows the one you posted, but has more followers and looks more official imo.

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

@Nintendo, Why don't you tweet her and find out.

I'm glad she stood her ground and walked herself instead signed to be a marketable fraction of herself. Really loving all the positive comments about her at AHS.

[AyUta]

Nah, not liking it so much.

[Chiharo]

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

[bondingo]

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
