Re-Introducing Sakurina

happiholic★ · #1 9th September 2010, 03:18 AM

So, you may all remember a while ago singer Rina Sakurai, a.k.a. Sakurina, released a single called Angel. I figured she would be a one hit wonder, and stick to being a model and Ayu-lover, considering it wasn't all that amazing, and her vocals weren't amazing either.

Angel

However, she has come out with another single, and this time I think it's beautiful! Its called Gray Zone. There are three previews.

Scene A

Scene B

Scene C

And here is the cover:

don't hate me for saying this, but the 3rd preview's melody reminded me a little of Ayumi's GAME.

but obviously the girl has had some singing lessons and it has paid off for her big time! this song sounds really great, and the PV looks very great as well. its funny, but i can totally see this being an Ayumi PV, lol.

I'm interested in her for sure now. I can't wait for the full song to come along.

I like how the songs sounds

She's not a great singer but she has a nice style.

i like how gray zone sounds.
why does she look like ayu lol.

You know when people post pictures of gals trying to imitate Ayu? She is always in those spreads. She loves Ayu. So, I guess she is trying to be like her idol? The song is available on ALL iTunes, by the way. It's 99 cents.

^sounds great to me! anyone who loves ayumi, i love them. haha.

That's true that a lot of girl would like to be as Ayu. After she's one of the first who take the gals' styles.

Maybe I'll try her. The pv looks nice.

I highly recommend downloading it. It's a huge step up from Angel.

AyUta · #11 11th September 2010, 05:33 AM

Do you know where I can get it? @_@ I checked google but nothing came up.

happiholic★ · #12 11th September 2010, 05:41 AM

iTunes is the only place. Ninety-nine cents.

ohsixthirty · #13 13th September 2010, 06:33 PM

only itunes japan though, right? i checked the US store with no luck.

happiholic★ · #14 13th September 2010, 09:21 PM

^No, its on US iTunes too. Search for "Rina Gray Zone", it will be the only result.

Yeah, she is releasing under the name Rina now. I guess because its a global release and Rina is a pretty universal sounding name.

Angel wasn't that great. The YT vids are gorgeous! ...I had to buy it (thanks for the search keyword hint Love Shine!).

iTunes-downloadable PV please?
