Yui Ibuki started rechallenge to Budokan

Yui couldn't achieve her goal,which was to gather 15,000 of fans for a year. After 6 months the challenge finished, she began rechallenge to sell 15,000 of her CD for a year. If she acheive the target, she will sing in Budokan, which is famous hall in Japan. The beatles held a concert there.

Light to lead her

Listen to her singing!

In the wind

I've stayed in China since July 11th.

The Internet in China is very slow. Blogs often cannot be seen and updated.

I cannot talk in town. So I am listening to Yui's In the window to be relieve.

It's a wonderful album.

Songs are good. Singing is much better.

Getting impressed by listen and listen.

I felt Yui sang well in past CDs but it was the singing to be better.

Comparing to pitching, like prioritize control.
It's light even though enough speed.

AT the point, songs of "In the wind" are the same speed but alive.
It's heavy ball.

Emotion is added to her skill.

When did she record them??

It may be in April, before finish Budokan challenge.

I would ask Yui it.


I will report the comparison songs in "In the wind" with past recorded.

6 months have passed since I met Yui first.

July 5th, it was the day just passed 6 month since I met Yui.


I wanted to get CD album with signature for my memory in any means, so I went out watching street live.
(Luckily I was in Tokyo for business trip. Yesterday live wasn't but today it is.)


It started at Shibuya station.

Arrived at Yui. After a song finished to a break, a man passed by me. He was Mr. P..
Oh no! Yui is made to write something.. It was the first I saw Yui's P-stop..


Next, we moved to Otsuka station.

Otsuka station is the place Nahoko often does street live. It was the first for me.

Get out station gate, turn right. Set up at a slant place, about finishing the 2nd song....

A man in the same uniform as I saw is approaching Yui.. The uniform number is "Keishicho".

Double P-stop. It can't be..   Unlucky.

It was already over 9... Is it over today??? No, is it?.... Move to Ueno station. It's good.



Yui could sing a lot at Ueno staton.

After 2 stages, when nobody come in...

I asked Yui "6 months" comment on Acoustic2 and signature on Supporters family card I got 6 months ago at Kamata.

"Is it only 6 months?.. I think much longer.." by Yui. You said it when it was 4 months.

Yui gave me 10 points for 3000 JPY and extra 1 point on Point card just started the day. I was lucky.



Thank you, Yui so far and from now on.

Street live in Nagoya, the 1st day, on July 2nd

On July 2nd. The 1st street live was held in Nagoya since Yui has returned.

Nagoya is Lorentz's home town. I should give hospitality to Yui.

But it was hot and humid day. I am afraid I joined after sun set.

There is in front of fountain at Taiko exit of Nagoya station.

As per Yui Blog, Yui brought the 3rd albums even though she intended new albums.

So, she cannot sing songs in new album.

Nobody get interest in her song. It may be because she feel uncomfortable of wrong album.

She moved to in front of monument.

It's a view.

Platform of Tokaido Shinkansen is seen upper right.

Singing.

Playing.

It is very rare to get her eyes while singing.... but I got it.

These are Nagoya station twin towers.

The live was over at 11p.m.

Long time no see



Yesterday, June 28th, I came to Tokyo on business. It had been a long time because I was in China on business.

My pleasure during business trip in Tokyo is, of course, to see Yui's street live.
It was the first time after she returned. I felt welcome back Yui.

So I checked Yui Blog where the street live at 3 o'clock. It was in "Yaesu kushiya, Oimachi blanch" Izakaya restaurant.
It was so luck that the place to meet Yui again is the restaurant of Fujiwara manager.
I asked co-worker to go to there and booked seats at once.

"Welcome back"

The first song is "Nomi ni ikou yo". Let's go to drink.
Audiences chorused at "Cheers".

The second song was "Tokyo".
She often spoke about a failure in challenge to Budokan"
to be cheered up by fans
to be unable to challenge Budokan but to start challenging to sell 5000 CDs in 3 months just like when she started singing, every between songs.

The third song is "Taiyo no hikari". Sun light.
It was presented to Mr Ishii, racer to challenging NASCAR.
Yui gets power from his challenge.

Her shoes are not sneakers she always wears.
It is of "Shimamura" given by fans when she started Budokan Challenge.

The 5000 CDs in 3 months is already 1000+ in 9 days.
It seems she could reconfirm many people support her.
(It's natural. She doesn't aware herself but Yui is great.)

The last song was "Jidai" of Miyuki Nakajima, famous singer-song-writer.

Yui had often heard it. However, she deeply impressed it from radio when she was discouraged by Budokan failure. She seemed to cry all night.
"Jidai" is the song I often heard when I was young. I also listened to "Nakajima Miyuki's all night Nippon".

The Izakaya restaurant live was over with such a impressed song.. (therefore encore was unnecessary.)



Anyway, I was happy to seeing again Yui returned.
Also I decided to support her much more.

How should I produce her??

I am very impressed.

I am very pleased.

I could listen to Yui's message became well on her supporter's page.

"Cannot aim at Budokan anymore, but restart challenging as back as a newcomer."


My support hasn't been to take Yui Budokan.
The purpose of my support was to have Yui sing long time.

I am very pleased that Yui restarted singing with many supporters.
It should be more and more supporters than a year ago.

Please keep singing long enough.
