YAAAAAAAS!!!

[Yoake]

Yay! That's a good news!
By translating the description, the translator wrote that all the songs will be new? that seems weird as she has singles.

BTW I like the new single.

[Earth_maiden]

^Someone in the Maaya facebook group speculated that maybe she will save the singles for a new single collection to be released next year, as it will be her 25th anniversary year. I would be happy with that!

I really wanted her material available at streaming services...

Oh! It'd be a good reason. Pretty excited!

Spoiler:

I had a listen to "peace" from the album since I don't remember it at all, not really my cup of tea though. I think DIVE is my least favourite Maaya album, I don't think I've actually listened to it all the way through. I should do that at some point lol.

Is she not available on Spotify? That's a shame.

I'm not impressed that there seems to be only a Blu-ray release or a CD only release. I need DVD, not Bluray Maaya!

Excited about that new album!

[Earth_maiden]

Someone recorded Maaya's latest episode of "VITAMIN M" which included a preview of a song from her upcoming album.

If you skip to 22:10 you can hear a preview of "Diesel".

[Yoake]

^Thank you.

[Earth_maiden]

Albums covers revealed:

Spoiler:

Video digest of her upcoming video from the new album:



A voice that is spilled.
It's clear and colorful.
It's like being alone, but it's like attractive.
Just a special music in the world.
But when I wake up I can't remember anymore.
　
If you could only hear one more time.
Maaya Sakamoto
From The Introduction of "music today only"

Gosh, those covers are GORGEOUS, two of her best covers ever! And the previews sound really nice, I'm so looking forward to this release, especially because they're all new songs, can't wait!

[Yoake]

The covers are nice. The vintage filters they used made them look like an old photography.

[Earth_maiden]

I'm going to buy the Bluray version even though I can't play the Bluray.

New single announced 『クローバー』

It will be released on April 3rd, guess it will be a digital single since it's a Friday? It's the opening theme of the anime 「アルテ」and we can listen to a bit of it on this video (starts at 1:01)

[Earth_maiden]

^Great news! Still waiting to see if she releases a new single collection soon, it's been 7+ years since Mitsubachi.

[Yoake]

When I read the news, I thought that she already had a song called clover....but it seems not. Why did I think that? Sometime the work of my brain is weird.

[Earth_maiden]

^maybe because there was a mini-anime called Clover? I need to look up the credits because I think she does the voice of Su but I'm not 100% sure.

EDIT: She does!
