相棒は・・・ (2012/04/25)
Buddies are…

皆さん元気ですか?
Everyone, how are you?

不安定な天気ですね。
The weather is unstable isn’t it?

でも、温度感など丁度いいこの時期も好きです。
But, I love the way the temperature feels just right in this season.

YUIです。
This is YUI.

新生活の方もたくさんいるのかな?
引っ越しシーズンでもありますよね!
I wonder if there are many people starting new lifestyles?
It’s also moving season isn’t it?

ドキドキワクワクしてるのかな?
I wonder if that will make you feel excited?

夏に向けて楽しんでいきましょうね♪
Let’s have fun as we approach summer okay?

最近私は、レコーディングをしています。
I’ve been recording lately.













ずいぶん前の日記に載せた事もありますが、今回も相棒はウェルチです♪
I posted about this on a very old diary, but this time my buddy is Welch’s too ♪





















ポリフェノールがいいと聞いて真似してみてます。
I heard that polyphenol is good, so I’ll try it too.

ポリフェノール、クエン酸、ビタミンE…
Polyphenol, citric acid, Vitamin E…

立派な健康オタクです♪
I’m a wonderful health otaku ♪

最近気に入っている塩風呂も血行が良くなって最高です。
Lately, I’ve been into saltwater baths which improve your blood circulation, and they’re awesome.

何だか憂鬱になりやすい時期などもリフレッシュ方法をたくさん知っていると便利ですよね。
Somehow, in seasons and times when it’s easy to get depressed, it’s handy to know different methods to feel refreshed right?

ではでは、梅雨前アデュー。
Dewa dewa, Right before rainy season adieuuu.

YUI Diary (2012.04.16) — Hello

Hello!!

こんばんは!
Hello!

YUIです。
It’s YUI.

元気ですか?
Are you doing well?

気付いたらSTAFF DAIRYでたくさん私の秘密がバレてしまってますね!笑
Before I knew it, many of my secrets ended up getting exposed in the STAFF DIARY! lol

まさか知恵の輪のカンニングが…
I never thought that me cheating on the puzzle rings would…

シュミレーションゴルフが…
or that the simulation golf would…

なんて、そんな事もありますよね。
But things like that happen once in a while too right?

人間だもの。
I mean, I am human.

あっ、みつをさんの素敵な言葉が♪
Ah… those wonderful words from Mitsuo-san♪
(「人間だもの」 (Ningen da Mono) is a famous book by Sugita Mitsuo)

冗談はさておき、もうそろそろ桜が散り始めますね!
All joking aside, soon the cherry blossoms will start falling!

満開も好きだけど、散り始めの花びらが舞う感じも好きだなぁ。
I like seeing them in full bloom, but I like the fluttering feeling that the petals give off when they fall too.

散歩には良い季節になってきてテンション上がります♪
It’s become such a nice season for taking walks, so my excitement level is going up♪

最近は、NHKの「Rの法則」という番組の収録に行ってきましたよ!
Recently, I went to the recording of the NHK program “R no Housoku” (Rule of R)!

たくさん質問が届いていて嬉しかったな。
送ってくれた方、ありがとう!!
I was very happy that a lot of questions came in.
To those of you who sent them in, thank you!!

おもしろい質問からマジメな質問まで、たくさん答えたのでぜひチェックしてみてください。
From interesting questions to serious questions, I answered a lot of them so please, by all means, check it out.

そして、合唱団の皆さんが素敵な歌声も披露してくれました!!
And then, everyone in the choir showed off their wonderful singing voices!!

よろしくお願いします!!
Please continue to take care of my song!!

ではでは、桜散りゆくアデュ~。
Well then, well then, cherry blossoms are falling adieu~.

YUI

P.S.

油断したら風邪ひきやすいので気をつけてね~☆
If you let your guard down, you’ll end up catching a cold, so be careful~☆

Staff Diary (2012.04.12) — Cherry Blossoms


Cherry Blossoms

皆さん、お元気ですか?
Everyone, how are you doing?

知恵の輪、といてますか?
Are you solving puzzle rings?

















カンニング
Cheating

↑こんな風にカンニングしちゃダメですよ(笑。(二回目の目撃情報より)
You shouldn’t cheat like this (lol. (eyewitness information from the second time she was caught)

東京では、桜も昨日の雨で散ってしまって、少し切なくもありますが、、、
In Tokyo, the cherry blossoms have all fallen due to yesterday’s rain, so it’s a little sad, but…

桜色に染まった道も何だか風情があって素敵ですね。
the streets that are dyed with the color of cherry blossoms have this elegant feeling, and it’s rather wonderful isn’t it.

「散りゆくからこそ 美しい」  by 『fight』
“Because it is fleeting, it’s beautiful” by “fight”
(散りゆく (chiri yuku) means to fall off in terms of flowers and leaves, but to fade away/disappear in general)

さてさて、INFORMATIONでも発表させていただきましたが、
Well then, well then, I have already announced this in the INFORMATION section, but

「みんなのうた」でのOAが決定しました!!
appearance on the show “Minna no Uta” (Everyone’s Song) has been confirmed!!

8~9月のOAなので、まだ少し先ですが、ぜひぜひ楽しみにしていて下さいね。
It’s on the air from August to September, so it’s still a little while away, but by all means, please look forward to it.

私たちスタッフ、そしてYUIも「みんなのうた」は小さい頃、よく観ていた番組なので、とても嬉しく楽しみです!
“Minna no Uta” is a show that we staff, as well as YUI, watched a lot when we were little, so we’re very happily looking forward to it!

ところで、先日、YUIからこんな写真が届きました。
By the way, this picture came from YUI the other day.

Suspicious Remix of YUI’s – “Why me” on iTunes/Amazon Store

Out of curiosity, I was doing an iTunes search for “YUI” ‘s music and I came across something suspicious.

Go into the iTunes music store and search: YUI & Star Scene

You will notice a song called “Why me” and yes, you will find that it is YUI’s song. This person, “Star Scene” has made a ‘remix’ version of it and has posted this for sale on Amazon & in the iTunes store. As this is not an official release, this should be reported and taken down as this “Star Scene” dj does not have the rights to use this for personal gain. According to the iTunes store, the song is apparently “copyrighted under Starlight Recording.”





























See Amazon posting here


We did a little search and found “Star Scene”‘s SoundCloud account where various mixes of songs are made.

Examples:
Michael Jackson http://soundcloud.com/djstarscene/starlight-michael-jackson
Daft Punk http://soundcloud.com/djstarscene/derezzed-smith-comma-johns


The idea of remixes are fun but posting any song for sale without the rights to them is violating copyright laws and is deemed illegal.

I hope Sony Japan picks up on this issue. I also hope this user “Star Scene” removes this from the Amazon & iTunes store as soon as possible. Perhaps, Sony Japan, should join and provide YUI’s music on the iTunes store and make it official? ^^

「YUIのラジオ『fight』」
NHK FM

Nコン 2012

投稿&質問はコチラから


「fight」is the song that YUI-san has written as part of this year’s NHK NCON’s song writing contest.

Looks like the song will be aired 2012/05/05 with YUI on the RADIO! It’s been a long time now since we’ve had a YUI on a radio show so let’s look forward to it!

(not sure if this is going to be the choir version that we’ve seen a few weeks ago or YUI’s version of the song that will be aired….)

More information:
http://www.nhk.or.jp/ncon/yui/index.html
http://ameblo.jp/ncon/




















It seems like the NHK NCON website is allowing some sort of submission from the public

Quick summary about the form submission (from hirotana):
The form is for the message to YUI. They collect messages and show to YUI. The message must be about fighting, encourage or something like that…
