Enjoy. Give credit if you share please.

^ Thank you

CLEAR single is nice. Not outstanding but the melodies are very spring-like and with this dark winter we got, it's so sweet to hear songs who seem as sunlight.

The video Earth_maiden posted in the previous page is not available anymore. So in case you haven't heard CLEAR yet, here are a couple of videos I've found.

CLEAR TV size:


CLEAR Full version:


I'm absolutely in love with this song! And the fact my daughter is a Sakura-fangirl is a plus, I think...

[Earth_maiden]

I love CLEAR so much. I'm hoping Maaya has plans to release an album soon since it's been 2 years since Follow Me Up and her previous single.

[Yoake]

Damn, time goes fly! Already two years since her last album? I understand now why I thought some days ago that I wanted a new album too.

Mikazuki is so good. I don't know how sounds the original version but I doubt that it's better than Maaya's version.

Thanks again for sharing it Earth_maiden

[Earth_maiden]

^As far as I know, Maaya has been more active in the anime/dubbing world. Apparently she released Follow Me Up in 2015 so it's been nearly 3 years.

You're welcome for the track! I couldn't find the Doriuta album anywhere online and I'm such an obsessive Maaya collector that I needed to hear it however possible lol. It took me about 6 years to finally get my hands on the "yoake no kaze kikinagara" single as it's only available in 8cm single (those 90s style long cases with the tiny CDs) that I ended up buying it in a bundle with 4 other singles that I already had. So I have double copies of Kiseki no Umi, Yubiwa. Shippo no Uta and Yakusoku wa Iranai.

EDIT: The Risky Safety ending, yoake no kaze kikinagara", for reference.

Maaya will be releasing a new single "Hello Hello" for the upcoming "Amanchu!" movie. You can hear the song in the first video-clip here:

[Yoake]

^^I'm happy for you that you got this cd finally.

Yes for new music! Hello Hello sound so fresh and cute! I want to hear the full song now!
With two singles in a row we might expect an album. Hope!

[sora-kara]

Oh man, collecting the 3cms singles is really tough! I gave up on Shippo no Uta, the Risky Safety, and Whoops! stuff a long time ago!

Ok! Another single! I am ready! CLEAR was a really great single, I dug it waaay more than I expected. Her current formula of Title track, b-side, live of a classic just makes me sooooooo happy!!!!!! DIVE on million clouds is just amazing *happy crying*

[Earth_maiden]

^You can have my double of Shippo no Uta if you like and just pay for postage.

Yes I hope we will have a new album soon! I know she's touring right now but if we get a new album at any time this year I will be one happy Maaya stan.

I'll take you up on that once I get employed again!

Can't wait for some solid previews to pop up of this single!
And you're right, an album would be nice. Aaaaaanytime.

[Earth_maiden]

I've been trying to find the setlist for the ALL CLEAR live that's she touring now but I've not had any luck. Does anyone know what she sang ?

It sounds so good! The B-side blows the title track out of the water but I still love both songs.

There is a short version of the PV available on youtube:



I'm happy to get a more rock/fast paces release from her. I hope she announces a new album soon, we have 4 singles now so the time is ripe.

[Yoake]

I feel like we'll get an new album soon too as she releases singles quickly this year.

Wow the cover is very original for her. I like it. The preview sounds nice too.

[Earth_maiden]

No new album announcement yet but Maaya is popping those singles out!

Preview of new single called "FLASH" to be released with the new Cardcaptor Sakura mobile game, to be released in April 2019.



I'm also searching for "The band apart ~ tribute" album for the Maaya Sakamoto cover of "明日を知らない". If anyone finds a copy can they let me know? Worst case scenario I'll try to find a second hand copy in Tsutaya or Book Off.

[Yoake]

Today I was listening to Maaya Sakamoto when I thought that I would like a new song from her. So I'm so happy that she'll release a new single Uchuu no Kioku in 10 days : http://www.generasia.com/wiki/Uchuu_no_Kioku



Where can I find the full version of FLASH? I haven't seen it in my usual places?

[Earth_maiden]

I don't think its been released? She's had a few singles out so I'm hoping for a new album soon. We've had:
Millions Clouds
CLEAR
Hello, Hello
Gyakkou

And the new single Uchuu no Kioku. Time for a new album Maaya!

[Yoake]

I had thought that maybe it could have been out on a OST or something like that T_T Never mind.

Yes, a new album would be nice. It has been a while that FOLLOW ME UP was released. Almost 4 years!
