omg! she has a song called "Holla!" I have to hear it

^BOO! The tracklist is so short!!
I love the covers though. She's so gorgeous, even in such a plain shot.

Lisa, have you seen Yu on Arashi no Shukudaikun? She teaches them yoga. LOL

[Beauty4123]

lol i saw half of that episode on youtube, but didn't get through watching the whole thing. i'm so lazy.

LMFAO! She's so silly on that show. They really rubbed off on her. Plus Sho flexes!

[Beauty4123]

LOL i think i'll finish watching the episode, now that you mention sho flexes.

^LOL. Thought that'd reel you in.
Yu's so cute on it too, she has patience with them and understands how crazy they are. Unlike other guests.

[Halla]

I'm liking the album tracklist, it's nice to see U-KEY & HIRO producing a few album tracks too since I think those producers are behind her best singles.

"little raindrop" is her best b-side, luckily more b-sides weren't included tho.

The clip of her on Hey!Hey!Hey! is nice, her fellow japanese supermodel Moe Oshikiri looked hot too

[Nanako]

I really like the tracklisting. Even if there are only 4 new songs-_- I have a feeling that the album is gonna turn out pretty urban since both U-KEY and HIRO are more urban music producers. I'm excited! I might end up getting the CD-only version since I'm not really feeling the CD+DVD one. Like Halla, I'm really glad little raindrop made the album because that's my favorite b-side from her^^

[Halla]

it's good to see Fly So High is not included in it's original form, it's such a crappy song. it's really bland & generic poppy track and really it would not have fit on the album at all.

it's a shame that so many singles have been released leaving the album a little lacking on the new material, but atleast the singles have b-sides so they have some worth.

I wonder if they'll make a PV for one of the album tracks too? I guess we'll see when the DVD tracklist is out.

I'm thinking that the album will do ok, it's not going to be a super but I think all of her singles have charted within like the top 40? and REAL YOU was a minor hit.

I read an article about Yu awhile ago, I think it was on the english Japan Times or something. It said that Yu is one of the most popular Idols at the moment, and they estimated that she gets 50 million Yen for one ad campaign, that's little under half a million US$ or 300 000 - 400 000 €.

it may not translate into huge sales, but she does a lot of talkshows and variety tv. so the album has much publicity but we'll see how it'll do.

[Beauty4123]

yea, i've read that yamada yu's doing promotion this week for the single, so hopefully sales will be decent.

[Mirai Noah]

I just downloaded Yu's discography. I remember seeing her perform REAL YOU on Music Station (or some other music show), but I couldn't find a mp3 of the song at that time. But now I've found it and her other songs now.

I think I'll buy the album later this year. I'm actually really excited for it's release now, I've been listening to fiesta!fiesta! non-stop. LOL
I wish Palm was on the album though, it's a really nice B-Side.

[Beauty4123]

i actually think palm is a bit better than fiest!fiesta!. but it's still really good.

from JPM.

Ew. Up close, the CD-Only looks...strange. I'm not sure what it is though.

[Halla]

I'm not really liking the covers.

I mean, they're not ugly but Yu is like the most gorgeous j-pop singer out there and this is the best face shot they got?
