Q3. 2008年シングル第一弾は、「Namidairo」というタイトルですが、初の日本語タイトルですよね??何か心境の変化でもあったのでしょうか??
特に心境の変化はありませんでしたが、サビ頭でも「なみだいろ」と歌っていてしっくりとっきた言葉だったのでタイトルにしました。

アコースティックとストリングスの特徴的なサウンド

Q5. ちなみに、YUIさんは強がりなタイプですか??

Q1. In 2007, you released 4 singles and an album and succeeded in the first budokan live. It seems like a very energetic year but how was it for you?

It was a really productive year because of the release of the album, the national tour, budokan and so on.

Q2. Did the first live at budokan make you nervous?　Do you have something like a inside story behind it?

I was very nervous, but when I stood on the stage and looked over the audience I felt I was closer to them than when I saw the stage from the audience seats, so it reasurred me.

Q3. The title of your first single of 2008 is "Namidairo". It's the first Japanese title, isn't it? Is there a change of heart or something?

Not really. Just because the chorus starts with "Namidairo" and it fits nicely as a title.

Q4. What is the feature of "Namidairo"?

The characteristic sound of　acoustic guitar and string instruments.

Q5. Are you the type of person who pretend to be tough?

Am I??

Q6. By the way, there's a large number of downloads of your songs on music.jp. What Chaku-uta (truetone ringtone) do you have on your cell phone right now? Your own song?

Carnival / The Cardigans

Q7. What kind of year do you want to have in 2008?

I want to perform live in where I haven't been yet.

Q8. Do you have something you want to try?
