Sony Music Anime Festival Saturday, May 6, 2006
Posted by Fate in Performances, Minor News. add a comment
Just so you know, YUI performed at the Sony Music Anime Festival in Tokyo last night in Japan. I don't have any video or media from the performance…yet…but I can tell you that she performed in the 'Bleach' section of the Festival, and that there were quite a many big name bands and Bleach seiyuu (Japanese voice actors) there, including Home Made Kazoku, High and Mighty Color, Younha, Uverworld, and of course, YUI! And Gin's seiyuu was there! See, I was there in spirit. 
(Hitsugaya and Ichigo's seiyuu were there also, but who cares about them… 
) Anyway, there will be another 'night' of this Anime Festival in Osaka in June, so YUI will be performing there as well. Here are some pics from the site's blog.
This is the performing center before the start of the festival yesterday.
Some cool Bleach merchandise (no YUI stuff. 
)
Thanks. It's late, so I must be going. Good night!
YUI Appearances Thursday, May 4, 2006
Posted by Fate in Media. add a commentI've finished putting up another feature for you all here on Blue Wind, YUI Appearances. This page features schedules of all of YUI's upcoming TV, Radio, and Magazine Appearances. I will be pruning and updating them regularly. A quick note for the TV and Radio pages: I will only post the broadcast times in both Japan and Eastern Standard Time for the original broadcast. All encore broadcasts will be listed with their Japan times only. This is both to save me the time and hassle of converting between the two and to prevent cluttering up the pages with useless information. Anyway, enjoy!
The Entire YUI Library Wednesday, May 3, 2006

Whew! It's taken me all afternoon, but I finally finished it. I'm proud to offer to you all the entire YUI library in one easy, convenient location: Blue Wind. There's no limit to these files' bandwith and they won't expire, unlike YSI or those other files. And they're on a different service provider, so downloading them won't affect the blog. Anyway, you can find the files in the Discography section of the blog. Enjoy.
Lyrics Uploaded
Posted by Fate in Lyrics. add a comment
I've (finally) finished uploading all the lyrics of YUI's works to the lyrics and translations page. Any comments on the translations or the quality of the lyrics would be most appreciated. I might have good grammar and spelling, but my fingers occasionally slip up sometimes, resulting in some rather…unimpressive errors. I appreciate any and all criticism of the lyrics. I plan to revise the translations of the lyrics from time to time, and in fact I have revised much of Help's lyrics already. My next task is to get all the pictures for the site made and to upload or link to song files. Anybody know of a good file-sharing service that doesn't take down 'expired' files? Thanks!

Good-bye days Website Update!
Posted by Fate in Pictures, Major News. add a comment
Yay! YUI's website has finally updated its layout to the Good-bye days version! It looks like I guessed right on when they'd change the layout. But anyway, it's a nice layout indeed. And they've cleaned up the site quite a bit since the From Me To You Album layout. YUI radio now has it's own section instead of just being built into the Diary section. That was actually a big matter of complaint among the fans on the website: they couldn't seem to find where the Radio section was. But now that's all taken care of. Oh, and the 'Media' button works correctly now instead of just going to the news page. I wonder if anybody else noticed that. Anyway, here are some pics from the new layout, courtesy of the YUI-lover forum:
And there's a small clip of the full, single version of Good-bye Days, instead of the acoustic version peach-san ripped off the radio over at YUI-lover.
I'll be updating the website soon with pictures and files. Just as soon as I get through all these tests. *grumbles*
