I recently recovered one of my old music backup discs with my Yumi Shizukusa single - Hana Kagari on it! :lalala Though I haven't listened to her in a long while, my love for this under-famous artist still remains strong! ^_^ Hana Kagari in itself is a song of passion of brilliance. Many of my friends consider this song to be one of the best Jpop songs ever. I would have to agree. If you could only listen to one song by this artist, Hana Kagari would be that song! Though Yumi (Yumiko) has been around since 2002 (according to her official website), she doesn't seem to be very famous. I cannot find any forums on her, and there is NO Wikipedia page! :huhuhu :huhuhu The only info I could find was on her website and YouTube, though I haven't checked JpopSuki's site yet. In that time she has released three albs and over 10 singles. Her latest alb, ironically named "Hana Kagari," was just released recently. Sadly, due to her lack of fame, her albums and singles are expensive. :( Here's some PV's I found on YouTube. PLEASE WATCH HANA KAGARI!!! The PV is very boring, but the song is amazing!!! :wub: Hana Kagari (Bamboo Flower) PV Her newest single- Kimi No Namida Wo Muda Ni Shitakunai PV It's rockish and I love it! :guitar An older single- Missing You PV I'm not really sure how much I like this song. It's nice, but I dunno. Here's her website if you want more info! (And read Japanese! :lol:) Yumi Shizukusa Official Website |

Hello Ty. It is more clear than ever before that our beloved Yumiko isn't loved by many else. Even after three albums and many singles...Even the beauty of Hana Kagari has been forgotten. I sad to say that my love feels in vain. My love for Yumiko... |

Dont worry TY im a fan of her even though I only have 4 songs from her. If anyone listened to "Everything for my dream" it sounds very Michelle Branch-ish. hmm i swear I write something like this before on an old thread :blink: |

Jpop is full of these kind of singers... I don't like. Most of the time, I never listen to artists who don't play instrument (but I like some enka singers).So, I never listen to the Boa, Hamasaki and so on... Sorry. |

Hana<3- I think your username is really cool.
:) Tell me, how is the new album? I'm so curious! frogduck- The PV is kinda low budget, but the song is so AMAZING! :wub: I think Hana Kagari should be on everyone's playlist! :biggrin Orange Toast- Only four songs eh? I only have the three from her Hana Kagari single (which was stolen. :huhuhu ). The other two songs I know from her can be found in PV form on YouTube. I love then all! :lalala (BTW, I love your Avi! ;) ) Samart- That's ok. Since I am a huge fan of J-Pop, I know how hard it can be to affirm to ppl my passion for the music I listen too. Many of my American friends scoff at me, so I can't really discuss music with them anymore. :( ---- In other news- I used the "Contact Us" form on Yumi's official site and I left a short msg. I wonder if I'll get a reply. :unsure: |

Hana<3- Oh! I saw the PV to Kimi no namida wo shitakunai (that's a really long song title eh? :lol:) on You Tube. It's so rockish! :o That would be great! Can you take a pic of the poster so I can see it please? I'm curious. :biggrin: Did I say that I used to have Hana Kagari single? It was stolen.:huhuhu I'm lucky to have backed up the files though! Have you ever heard the b-sides of the single? (Forever, I'm with you, and Amai Kioku) The first is one of my personal favs. The later has a very sexy feeling to it. |

hmm.... the pv is low budget so what? the most important thing is the overall looks of the pv and the feel of it doesn't really look low budget. it looks simple and clean. fell in love with the rhythm of the song. some1 should try to push her songs to more pple.
:) well... i did a quick check on jpopsuki and it seems that no 1's really uploading her files and the previous files all date back quite sometime ago. |

It's rough hanashin6!
:( It's very hard to spread the word about an artist who isn't all the famous. Just finding info online about Yumi is a challenge! It would be great to spread the word about Yumi! :lalala Post everywhere you can ev'one!!! Yumi is more than just Hana Kagari; though Hana Kagair in itself is such a perfect song. ^_^ I only hope ppl can realize this someday! :( Hana<3 ZOMG! :o Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to hear new songs!! EEE!!! :biggrin |

no worries. i usually tell my frenz abt good j-songs that i've discovered and will tend to post relevant information on my personal blog. one more thing, who says turning away from those popular mainstream music to indulge in another type of music is a sin. gosh! i'd have done a massacre on such pple. u're a brave soul who dares to cross that border. :thumbsup: btw, do tell me is there any way u can think of to promote her songs. i'll help. :) |

hanashin6- Blogging is an effective way to promote anything. If you have multiple sites on the internet, make sure to link them all together. For example, I put links to many of my favorite sites on my MySpace page, as well as in my signature below (and on all forums I go to). Hopefully, ppl will click and learn more!
^_^ Hana<3- Thank you for the new music! :hug: I'm really enjoying Yumi, just like I thought I would. ^_^ I'll post more about what songs I like later. :) |

ohh! i was thinking why this song name is so familiar. after listening to it i rmb that it was a song my fren sent me long time ago, but i've lost n completely forgotten about it >.< but yumi shizukusa seriously lacks fame, my fren didnt even know who was the singer, she only said hana kagari is the theme song for some anime. |

It wouldn't surprise me if Hana Kagari was the theme song to an anime for two reasons: 1. This would explain how word got out about such a vague artist. 2. "Hana Kagari" itself is similair to YUI's "LIFE", and HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR's "Inchirin no Hana"; in the respect that may ppl are introduced to these artists due to the popularity of such single songs. (I was.) I wish I could find more info about this! :(
:o How my! She sure is Hanashin! Just because Yumi is "small time" doesn't mean she's not fully active. Her official website is current, and is anouncing "I Still Believe ~tameiki~" as her lastest single. You should sample this one because I think it's going to be amazingly good! ^_^ Check her discography, and will will see that she has released three (3) albums, and seven (7) singles. Considering she starting in 2003...these numbers are sadly, small. This is most likey due to lack of revenue with her record company (Giza studios, due to low record sales, etc. Correct me if I am wrong but, I don't see any famous artists on the Giza home page...And even if an artist is not hugely popular (like YUI, Ayu, BoA, etc.), this does not mean that they do not have a strong (yet small) following with fans (like me! :green ).
OMG! The new single sounds like such a masterpiece. Some one put up the whole song on YouTube. Just search for it. It's really good. You are lucky to have all the albums. I really want them! They are expensive though. ^^; I've saved up to get Hana Kagari to I Still Believe singles. I owned Hana Kagari Sgl before but, it was stolen. <_< Currently, I'm trying to get my girlfriend hooked on Yumi. I already made her fall in love with: YUI, HandMC, and Koyote (Korean). I'm hoping she likes Yumi as well! :lalala
Hanashin is right, take your time and do well. Gambatte! :thumbsup: If I get I Still Believe before you, I'll upload it if you haven't already. ^_^ Machikirenai! ___________________________ I want to discuss Yumi music more on a song by song basis. I hope that you will join me here. :wave |

I still Believe is great!! ^^ I still need to get all her singles, but some are out of print and all... so I'll get them on Yahoo Japan Auctions. My friend made me listen to Yumi's Hana Kagari and I fell in love immediatly, because it says Hana Kagari in front of my name on msn he calls it my song aswell XD |

:lol: I remember the first time I heard Hana Kagari, it nearly took my breath away. :o I was: "Who is this?" I'm very glad that I found out. ^_^ Wow. You are huge Yumi fan. I *bows* too you! I'm a big fan of several artists, but I'm not a crayz devoted to any of them. My fandom can only go so far. :lol: I remeber I collected all of BoA's albums when I first became a BoA fan, but lately my main focus YUI, HandMC, and now Yumi. I also like: Namie, Utada, Ayu, Koyote, Ito, Younha, Chae Yeon...It's a real challenge to be a fan of them all! :blink: Since I'm on a limited budget for music, my girlfriend and I buy from different artists and share. It works that way. ^_^
haha. Yeah! I've been a fan for over a year now. It was just recently that I decided to learn more and Yumi and find more music than just the Hana Kagari Single that I had. I was too busy with YUI and HandMC...that I almost forgot about Yumi! :( True story- until I moved last summer, I had completely lost my Yumi CD, and her music dropped out of my Mixes. Somewhere along the lines of backing up my Computer, I had misplaced her files...and thus forgot she existed... :swt Now I'm back in love though! :wub: ================================================== EDIT: Ok, so last night I spent a few hours researching Yumi, looking up lyrics, and then typing up a Wordpad Document with them! :lalala It's Sendspace link. Credits go to Cori, from Cori's J-Pop Lyrics site, as well as some other's I found on Google. I included Eg Trans when I could find it, and I even went through and fixed many: spelling errors, grammar issues, etc. I formatted the doc using Bold for the titles and Gray for the Eg. Funny thing: I also tried to type up lyrics for the rapping parts of a few songs, as well as some of Yumi's background lyrics :swt...It turned our ok enough! So I am happy with the results. :) I wanted to share this here b/c I know how hard it can be to find info on Yumi. ENJOY! ^_^ |

Thank you!! :lol: It's really hard to find Yumi lyrics and information and all.. unortunately T_T I'm a fan of besides Yumi: gazette, alice nine., Kra, Ayumi Hamasaki, YUI, Namie Amuro, L'Arc~en~Ciel and lots more, though most of my money goes out to Ryoko Yonekura (A model/actress) she's my rolemodel ^^; I listen to Yumi for about 2 years now, took a while before I tried her other albums out XD but now I'll buy everything of hers as soon as I get my money, and the rest will go once again to Ryoko Yonekura lol I want a poster of her XXD Oh yeah I still need to make a photo of Hana Kagari poster I got with my album! |

WOAH! What what? The album comes with a poster?! :shock: How cool is that! You're welcome! I'm glad that some one got use out of my hard work! ^_^ Trying to get down some of the rap and Yumi's background lyrics was a real challenge! I Googled Ryoko Yonekura. She seems quite famous. It's nice to have some one to look up to. I remember when I was young I wanted to be like Cloud from Final Fantasy VII. XD True story! hahaha. I've never had a celeb to look up to though. I tell my girlfriend that she's my role model all the time b/c she's so mature and well-managed like an adult, while I still feel lost in life like a child. XD |

Ryoko is quite famous indeed, I got to know her when I saw her in a cm with Gackt, I watched her movie Gun Crazy: A woman from nowhere and 3 dramas and she's so cool, though she's not famous around the net
:( Sorry for being off topic lol like I said she's not famous around the net so I barely get to talk about her :lol: Hana Kagari comes with a 2pages booklet with credits and a poster and on the backside are the lyrics, but since they are in Japanese I decided to hang the poster, I can't read the lyrics anyway ^^ My friends coming next week and she has a good camera lol I just have my telephone and the camera sucks I'll make a photo of my Yumi stuff :D |

That depends on what you like aswell, because people who don't like Jpop, never heard of YUI either, but Ryoko is huge in drama land ;) bsides if you don't know something you mostly don't pay attention to it, so maybe you did see her before and all, but just never paid attention to it |

Haha, I see. I've had music booklets with posters on back like that. I hope Giza will print a large poster someday. I ordered YUI's CAN'T BUY MY LOVE poster (though I still haven't gotten is yet! <_<) and I can't wait to hang it up! BoA's calendars are also quite large. Yumi needs more fame! Ok. Look forward to it.
Wha? :blink: Did I go rambling about my girl again? XD Sorry about that. Thank you for the kind words. My girl and I are about as different as we are the same. It's quite a complex r/s (relationship?) ! Our differences make us strong, as do our overlapping strengths and weakness... but enough about that! =P
I hear you there! Funny story about Yumi: Did I tell you that I just found out who Wyclef Jean is b/c of Yumi's "I'm in Love" song? :lol: Yeah, that's quite funny b/c he's a world famous kinda guy...! Oh well, it happens. Ppl only know what they know about, and nothing more. Same thing goes for my friends who say to me: "Who's YUI?" or "Who this or that?" when I bouncing around the room excitedly shouting and proclaiming the release or an upcoming single... :shock I'm glad at least my friends know a little about Japan. I hope to learn a LOT more so I can talk to ppl who know more than me...and etc. ^_^ ================================================== For those who may have missed them, here's the songs I blogged about on MyS. (sendspace) ENJOY! ^_^ Hana Kagari Communication Break Out Kimi no Namida wo Muda ni Shitakunai I'm in Love (feat Wyclef Jean) Suna ni Naru Kotoba Tonight be My Love ~machikirenai~ What You Need Who You Gonna Be What do you think about the song list? I was in a hurry so, I kinda picked the songs out at random among my favs. :lol: |
