I totally forgot about it… Maaya’s birthday was yesterday! Argh… I fail as a fanboy. Anyway, happy 26th birthday!
I received the latest Maaya club bulletin today. Looks like those people finally read my snail mail and updated my mailing address… There’s even a piece of notice inside informing members that personal information can now be edited on the club website. It must have been thanks to my complaint.
Anyway, Maaya’s new single will be released on 14th of June! w00t! I’ll be in Japan around that time, so maybe I will finally get to attend one of her live promo events… The single is a double A-side single (which I’m guessing means that both songs are equally good). The songs are “kazemachi JET” and “supika”.

New Maaya songs are always good, but I can’t help noticing that her partnership with Yoko Kanno seems to be over for good. I sort of miss the type of songs from her Nikopachi days… Maybe I just can’t adapt to change.
“Her partnership with Yoko Kanno seems to be over for good. ”
Aren’t they good friends?
I recall that you told me if you did not die of an anxiety attack/heart attack you would ask for Maaya’s autograph won’t you?
Well, when was the last time you heard a Maaya song composed by Yoko?
That’s right… Shounen Alice. Neither of the songs in the new single are by Yoko.
Anyway, I think I accidentally marked some comments as spam (it’s getting hard to tell them apart without actually reading). Sorry to whoever it was. D:
“I sort of miss the type of songs from her Nikopachi days”
–> totally agree.. those songs couldn’t get me bored.
I hope Yoko Kanno would work with her again. Maaya without Yoko is not Maaya..
