Yea Yuna looks great on the cover for her new single. The bangs work for some reason. I just saw the PV on youtube and I'm not too overly impressed. Maku is pretty much on the dot about how this is another pop song similar to Stuck on You but a bit toned down.

I guess I just miss Yuna's power ballads. For me it was hard to tell if there's any improvements on her vocals as the song doesn't require a lot of change is vocals.

I'm actually interesting is seeing a concert DVD for her Heart tour but I don't see one being released yet.

Here is Yuna Ito's new single =) Included Urban Mermaid, Colorful, and Mahaloha -remix-. I didn't put Mahaloha (Instrumental) in. The single is charting between 8# and 10#.

http://www.mediafire.com/?dncygh19jgz

The DVD tracklist is : 01. I'm Here 02. WORKAHOLIC 03. Precious -encore-
Since I didn't receive my copy of the single, I haven't seen the DVD >__< I hope the performance will be good, but I don't have to worry about Yuna =)

Enjoy this new single ~

I actually heard about this a month ago but was too afraid to post it since it wasn't confirmed at the time and Yuna's fans were saying that it was a false rumor. However, due to a new video posted on Youtube and a pre-order available on CDJapan, I believe that this is true now.

You're probably wondering what I'm talking about. Yuna Ito's next single is just around the corner and this time it's something unexpected. She's actually doing a duet with Celine Dion!

It all started back in October when Sony released a tribute album to Celine Dion done by Japanses artist. Among those artists was Yuna Ito. Yuna Ito did a cover of Celine's song "My Heart Will Go On" (theme song to the Titanic movie which I'm sure many of you have heard of).
You can download the song here:

YouTube video of an interview with Yuna Ito and Celine Dion singing the new single "A World to Believe In" and talk about the single:

And you can pre-order the single (which is due for a release on January 16, 2008) on CDJapan here:

^ yes, i heard about this too. it's really quite interesting. made me check out what Celine's been doing for so long since i haven't really seen her around for quite a while (except for newest album). looks like she had a show in Las Vegas for five years. and she's been releasing French albums.

Celine personally selected Yuna to do a duet with after hearing her version of "My Heart Will Go On" on the TRIBUTE TO CELINE DION album earlier this year. She was reportedly very taken with Yuna's voice.
she really has a great voice, hasn't she? Love
somehow i get the feeling that i will like track 3 on this single the best... Sneeze
3. Anata ga Iru Kagiri ~A WORLD TO BELIEVE IN~ (Yuna Ito Solo Ver.) (あなたがいる限り; As Long as You are Here)
i don't know... i never was a that big of a fan of Celine Dion...

and thanks for the link to the cover song! i haven't heard it yet and i was wondering where it came from. Smile

so, how about a second album after this single? she's got four since her first album.
somehow i have a feeling that one of her future releases will have the name "UNITE" (read it as a Japanese would pronounce it and you'll get what i mean Wink).

just realized i've got the NANA movie on my HDD waiting to be seen... should've done that a long time ago. Surprised

^Thanks for the PV rip Maku!

Someone uploaded the PV to the YouTube, you can watch the PV here:

I actually wasn't so sure about this duet when I saw the previews on the interview that I posted on my previous post because it felt like Celine's voice was more powerful when they would both sing together but now hearing the whole songs, I think this duet worked out. Yuna's vocals are powerful enough to match Celine's vocals.

I can't imagine how exciting this collaboration must be for Yuna. I was slightly worried at first, because Celine has such a powerful voice and while Yuna is amazing, I wasn't sure she'd be up to the same standard. She really surprised me, though! She sounded wonderful! The song is gorgeous and Celine and Yuna sound lovely together! The video, while plain, is also really cute. I love the smile on Yuna's face throughout most of the video. She looks gorgeous and is literally beaming.

I can't wait for this to come out! Love

Ouch this tread hasn't seen any activity for quite some time. Time to spice things up a bit.

As some of you know Yuna Ito's 2nd full length album will be released this year. The album will be titled "Wish" and it is set to be released on Feb 20th which isn't too far way.

The album covers have surfaced and have begun circulating around the internet.

CD+DVD cover

CD Only cover


And a promo picture that is a slightly larger version of the CD+DVD cover
http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Music/Arch/SR/YunaIto/photo.jpg

This will included her singles that have been released after her first album (Heart) as well as the cover she did of Celine Dion's song "My Heart Will Go On." I have yet to see the titles of the new songs that will be on the album.

At this point and time no news of a first press but like Yuna's first release, the CD+DVD is a limited release.

As for what I think ... I have to say I like both covers. I personally like them more than the cover for Heart. However I'm iffy about buying this album. The singles Yuna released last year didn't impress me that much. I know she's capable of songs that require more powerful vocals. Granted I am a bit biased. I prefer her ballads and a good chunk of stuff she released last year was mid-tempo or faster. I do like the the duet she did with Celine and the cover she did for Celine's song, but I think I'll hold back until previews (or more) of her new songs surface. [/url]

HEART covers were cute. These ones are weird. And they're not related each other. It looks like someone has chosen randomly to make covers.

the CD+DVD version of Whish looks gorgeous. As always. I like the CD only edition too, but the CD+DVD edition is better. Better than Heart, though. But I don't think I'll buy this album the day of its release... I was a little disapointed by her two last singles so I think I'll wait.
Thank you for the covers sakuraangel ~ <3 !

The covers are way better than HEART. I enjoyed Yuna's current releases. I just hope the new album tracks won't be a disappointment. Her last album had strong singles but the album tracks were like fillers.
