Yuna Ito recently preformed "Miss You" on music station. You can watch it here:

And here's a bigger version of her upcoming single.


I wish they would have stuck with the CM version. The CM version had a bit more umph to it. This version is lacking in many ways. I don't know who made the decision to come up with another version since the CM version was well received but whomever it was, they made a bad choice (imo).

I saw this performance a few days ago and i was really disappointed to be honest! It's such a lovely song, yet she looked SO sad in the performance, she looks like, Sick, or stressed, or sad about something! I hope she's okay!

I'll consider buying the single, but it's not definite! ~ I'd rather spend the money on buying her next album!

PV is out on youtube. Watch it before it gets deleted.

It still makes me sad. This song has so much potential, but by making the song more static, it makes it more dull.

^That YT link is dead now. But if you haven't seen the PV and still want to see it, you can see it here:
http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/Yuna%2BIto%2BMiss%2BYou/video/x6kguj_yuna-ito-miss-you_music

I've actually grown very fond of the song, even if I still like the CM version better. And the PV makes me nostalgic about my own summer. It totally reminds me of Canada day this year when my friends and I were on the Toronto beach (sorta of, not really) playing with our own sparklers and fireworks before and after the actual fireworks show from the city. Good times.

ANYWAYS
I like how I dig up dead threads -__-

Lots going on with Yuna nowadays. She recently mentioned in her official blog that she was shooting a new PV for a new song.

Info for that song and the single it'll be on.
The single drops November 26 2008
Tracklist:
1. Koi wa groovy x2 (恋はgroovy×2; Love Is Groovy Groovy)
2. Mafuyu no Seiza (真冬の星座; Mid-Winter Constellation)
3. miss you remix
4. Koi wa groovy x2 (Instrumental) (恋はgroovy×2; Love Is Groovy Groovy)

As far as I know Koi wa groovy x2 has been described as a "Latin house party tune" (in other words it'll be an uptempo song). Looks like it'll include a remix to Miss You ... I hope that's the CM version *_* (I wish ...maybe, dunno yet)

The single was initially known as GOOD BEAT GOOD BEAT (I like the actual title more). But some places like CDJ are already taken pre-orders still list it with that title
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=SRCL-6924

Koi wa groovy x2 will also be used in Gap (Japan) holiday campaign song with the GAP clothing line. So Yuna's been all over the news with this tie-in.

I must say, Yuna is looking fabulous. I'm happy for her. This GAP campaign will be good in terms of getting her name out there [again]. I truly felt Miss You was poorly promoted hopes this will sorta of bring some attention to her.

I still want her/Sony to release Gate ...

Lastly, her website has been updated and the front page has the GAP campaign stuff on it.

me too Giggle Cause if you didn't I wouldn't know Yuna is releasing a new single Laughing

OMG A new single Love Love Love and a tie in Nice!

Boogie Giggle Koi wa groovy x2 Sounds like a fun title for a song but Im wondering what kind of song Mafuyu no Seiza (真冬の星座; Mid-Winter Constellation is ? I like the translated title Smile Sounds Wintery <3 Possible ballad? Oooooh and a remix to miss you, I really love the original version Confused Well the version on the single that is because the original one is the Cm right ? Since that's the one we heard first? Anyhow I'm hoping this remix version is the Cm one

I'm hoping this tie in helps too. Yuna's got good music. I think she's a great artist, I was really sad with how miss you did No I thought it was a really great single especially since it had been a bit since her last release I figured it would of sold better. On a side note I loved the miss you PV very beautiful made me feel nostalgic Embarassed

Oh & Thanks for posting the links for the pics Yuna looks really beautiful Love Surprised I'm actually amazed by how gorgeous she is. Nod I'm wondering how the cover of the single will be
Yuna's covers are always so gorgeous.

I completely forgot about Gate Embarassed I wonder if there are any plans for this to be released. Now wasn't this for a movie ? And if so perhaps it will be included with the OST. I think I have a live version of the song when she performed it. But I'd love a studio version.

Cover for Koi wa groovy x2 single. It's not bad, I just think that the cheap glitter effects really kill it.

I heard the PV is slated to be aired on Japan MTV on November 4th. Can't wait to see how this PV turns out. I like the Miss You PV, so I kind of look forward to this one. ... since it has a tie-in to the GAP clothing line, it'd be cool if it were like one of those GAP commercials a coulpe years back, though if done wrong, it'd be cheesy XD

Promo picture (from Yuna's official website). I like it better than the cd cover ....

Anyways, OMG LOL ... I was right about the PV being like a GAP commercial. I haven't found someone that uploaded the whole PV yet (I'll be back with a link when I do though).

For now, Sony has a preview up on the site:
http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Music/Arch/SR/YunaIto/SRCL-6924/1/movie_h.asx

I've heard the full song, but haven't seen the full PV yet. I do enjoy the song. Definitely one of Yuna's better up-tempo song.

EDIT, yay someone loaded it on YT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1d4wdtlLgQ
Watch it before it gets deleted/taken down
The PV can be downloaded at JPS

Bigger version of the Koi wa Groovy x2 single


More Yuna Ito stuff at the Japan MTV site w/ a vid of the GAP CM featuring Yuna's new song (lol the condensed version of her PV) and clips of Yuna in NY taking about the GAP campaign and doing the photo shoot. I love how she can just randomly break into singing part of Precious like it was second nature ... such great vocals.
http://www.mtvjapan.com/special/feature/yuna/streaming.html

Japan''s Gap site talks about the model for this holiday campaign. I can't get the actual link but wait for it to load and just go Behind the Scenes->Model Interviews->Yuna Ito. The clips of Yuna in NY are the same as the one on the MTV site, but I find the Japan GAP site loads faster.

Mmm Koi wa Groovy x2 has dropped. Listening to the single right now.

Her B-side for Koi wa Groovy x2 is actually quite nice. Mafuyu no Seiza is definitely a ballad though not a power ballad. It's good nontheless, I can see this as a album track ...

The "Miss You" remix ... I guess what that I was hoping it'd be the CM version too much so I'm a tad disappointed. It's not horrible though, very chilled and laid-back arrangement.

But wow, even with all the promotions this single has been getting, this single is currently charting at about #28, That's not good at all. Hopefully she'll release GATE and have Love Machine Gun as a B-side and have better sales.
