yes because his 1st 3 singles never had any tie in promo (from what I know) & things really changed a lot for him after Trust Me was released

anyway Paradise single is up for download -> http://ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2625297

The B-sides are nice ! Jin Nakamura's a genius . Loving Loved kinda reminded me of a Koe ni Naranakute part 2 without Sista's vocals

I thought Kimi no Koe was going to be a ballad but guess not :x

Secret Love's omg

Matsushita Yuya Releasing 8th Single in 8 Versions

Currently, young actor Matsushita Yuya is playing the lead role in TBS TV series "Quartet", to which he also contributed the theme song. The song Paradise had only been released on February 2nd, 2011 and he has already announced his new single.

The track "Naturally" is scheduled for May 5th and as his 8th single, it will be released in a total of eight different versions. These different versions will include a total of six cover songs, which Matsushita challenged. However, the exact content still has to be revealed.

Fans of the multi-talented young man, who has also mastered his first stage play with "Kuroshitsuji" should certainly be looking forward to the release, though choosing just one CD might be a hard choice to make!

Yuya Matsushita is making his overseas debut at FanimeCon 2011's MusicFest! FanimeCon will be held Memorial Day Weekend, May 27 - 30, 2011, at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose California. Yuya will perform a concert and have a Q&A Panel & autograph session!

Official Press Release from fanime.com:
FanimeCon 2011 Announces Yuya Matsushita as a MusicFest Guest of Honor

San Jose, CA (March 3rd, 2011)
FanimeCon 2011 welcomes Yuya Matsushita as a MusicFest Guest of Honor. Over Memorial Day weekend, May 27-30, 2011, the multi-talented actor and singer will perform in the San Jose Civic Auditorium, hold an autograph session, and interact with FanimeCon members during a Q&A panel. The MusicFest concert will be his first performance outside of Japan! More specific times and locations will be posted to www.fanime.com.

Anime fans would recognize some of Yuya Matsushita’s hit singles: “Trust Me” was the first ending theme of “Durarara”, and “Bird/4Seasons” was the ending theme for the second season of Kuroshitsuji (more commonly known in the US as Black Butler). Mr. Matsushita also played “one hell of a butler” when he starred as Sebastian Michaelis in the Kuroshitsuji live-action musical. Other credits include a role in the live-action movie of Toki o Kakeru Shoujo (based on the same book as the anime movie known in the US as The Girl Who Leapt Through Time).

Born in Kobe, Japan, Yuya Matsushita debuted as a singer in 2008 with “foolish, foolish”. Other songs include hits such as “LAST SNOW”, “Negai ga Kanau nara”, “YOU”, and “I AM ME”. The movie, Kanashii Boyfriend, used Mr. Matsushita’s song “Mr. ‘Broken Heart’” as its theme, and it also marked Mr. Matsushita’s debut as an actor. More recently, Mr. Matsushita has been starring in the TBS TV drama, Quartet, which also uses his song, “Paradise”.

FanimeCon is very excited about Yuya Matsushita’s appearance, and further information will be posted to www.fanime.com as FanimeCon gears up for Memorial Day weekend, 2011.

Ah *_____*

[KarenPang]

MY's staff blogged that MY himself is safe from yesterday's earthquake which's good to know so

[KarenPang]

Scans of MY in April's Pati Pati

[Bigtop]

At least it's getting better, but he needs some more improvements before he can prove himself a real competitor...

[Beauty4123]

i just heard the b-sides, and my most favorite song would be Secret Love. that song is amazing!! i really like the other 2 b-sides, but i wanted more upbeat songs and not mid-tempo-ish (i think Kimi no Koe was more upbeat, though ), since Paradise is mid-tempo. but they're all still good songs, lol. i hope yuya will bring a hot song as his next single! but he still hasn't really disappointed me yet!

[KarenPang]

yeah Secret Love is probably my fave B-side outta the 3 because wow it's just so catchy if not very infectious

Loving Loved is pretty & it does remind me of EXILE's Lovers Again to a certain extent , especially the beginning

then again I'm not surprised at the comparison since both songs are composed by Jin Nakamura

I know Paradise has been barely released but I already want another new single & let alone a 2nd album hahahaha

[Beauty4123]

haha, i want a new single, too! i can already imagine a hot PV! maybe after one or two more singles, we'll get a new album?

[KarenPang]

yeah hopefully his 2nd album will have more album tracks because I AM ME only has 4 new songs after you - away the introduction , 3 interludes , 5 singles , the 2 digital singles & 3 B-sides

but B-sides wise , I really hope Secret Love will be included because I mean it's a great song :p & maybe L.o.L might be slotted in ?

We'll see because Matsushita Yuya + Jin Nakamura = unstoppable team xD

[Beauty4123]

if they include any b-sides, it should definately be L.o.L & Secret Love!

but after so many tracks in I AM ME that were already heard, i hope the album has lots of new songs! at least 7 or 8? the more the merrier, lol.

btw karen, the rapping in Secret Love is done by SHUN, right? that's a guy? because the voice doesn't sound so much like a guy's voice to me...

[KarenPang]

yes the rapping in Secret Love is done by SHUN whom I guess it was the former vocalist of EXILE because SHUN also rapped on 1 of Shota Shimizu's B-sides called Again which's found in GOODBYE

I was told by my sister SHUN doesn't really rap but rather he was 1 of the 2 lead vocalists when he was still in EXILE

The lady voices you can hear in Secret Love were sung by BRIGHT

[Beauty4123]

i know the girls were BRIGHT, but for some reason, i kinda thought SHUN's voice wasn't so...manly for some reason, LOL! maybe i need some sleep.

but anyway, the song is still so amazing!

[AyUta]

Oh um...i thought there was only one girl rapping in it :O

[KarenPang]

BRIGHT

SHUN

er honestly in Secret Love , I tend to hear more of BRIGHT rather than SHUN's vocals LOL xD

[Beauty4123]

i've heard of BRIGHT before, but now that i actually hear them in Secret Love (which i'm still listening to today! ), their voices seem to go very nicely with yuya's voice!

honestly, i think this will be my favorite b-side of yuya's singles! i liked hallucination & futari last year, but those ballads just can't compete with a hot song like Secret Love!

[KarenPang]

yeah Secret Love is 1 of MY's strongest B-sides & it's fast approaching to be 1 of my fave B-sides tunes of him

L.o.L from Bird / 4 Seasons is also great , I sure hope that can be included in his 2nd album

I dislike Close to you from LAST SNOW initally but O.M.G after I saw him performing that song live , that took a 360 degree turn xD
