it will be lucky on DREAM's part to get certified Gold by RIAJ but I doubt it might happen

[~Inori~]

It most definitely won't be certified Gold.

[AyUta]

^ Agreed

this's so depressing

especially if you compare the sales between HEART , WISH & then now DREAM T_T

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

A hard dilemma. Amazing album sales but the album sucks or rather disappointing sales but a good album. Hmmm.

oh I can make a list on singles & albums that have sucky sales but the material's simply ACE

DREAM's definitely on the list & that goes for Koi wa groovy x2 too

^Perhaps the sales could have been better if GATE was included... even if its just a Bonus track, then as a recut single afterwards. No news about her recently? I just bumped into this thread and sadly, i noticed that its been so inactive.

[Meat Pao]

Unfortunately there are no news on Yuna yet...

[hayasaki]

^and mysteriously, her site is not loading... uhh. and by the way, unlike the first time i heard it, i find myself enjoying BAILA BAILA right now! Its fun i guess... good song while playing around the BEACH! LOL

[NintendoHTF1242]

What single is GATE on? Everyone seems to rave about that song but I'm too lazy to go find what single it's on xD

[hayasaki]

^Unfortunately, it hasn't been released in any Single or Album yet... and that's the reason why WE are craving for it! LOL

[NintendoHTF1242]

^ Oh XDD So it's just a song title? Or is it unreleased?

[Meat Pao]

^She only performed it on a TV show or something.

[hayasaki]

^And it's a beautiful song. T_T. REALLY BEAUTIFUL XD. until now, there hasn't been any news or even just a hint/clue that it'll be released someday...

From her wikipedia page :

In June 2008, Ito collaborated with popular Japanese music producer Takeshi Kobayashi (who produced music for Mr. Children, a famous Japanese band) and Russian conductor Mikhail Pletnev, to sing Gate, the theme song for documentary movie with the same name, Gate

a full version of GATE never surfaced at all , just a preview only which's a big pity

[Beauty4123]

but that one performance yuna did of the song was full

[kotora]

Probably GATE doesn't fit in Dream era , and she moves it to her next era.

[~Inori~]

I'd be surprise if Sony gives her a chance for a new era. But if Avex kept Hitomi Shimatani I don't see why Sony won't keep her.

Woah. So that's it? I just kept wondering last night. If it's for a movie, then, its possible that it was also included on the OST. Or just a BG Song playing during the credits.. uhm.. i don't know how'd you call that... when,the movie is finished... and the names.. blah blah. XD

[hikaricore]

Why doesn't Yuna transfer to Avex?
The quality of so many artist's work (and their sales) got better when they hit Avex Trax.
I think it could truly save her career.
