やっぱりフェスの雰囲気は楽しくなりますね〜!!
私の居たエリアに水鉄砲が置いてあったんで

すごく新鮮でくるくるまわってきてしまいましたよ〜♪
サウンド・オブ・フォレストは気持ち良かった。
集まってくれた皆さん
本当にありがとうございました。

そして新しい曲の制作にも
とりかかっています。

YUI Diary
ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL
I went to the festival!
The atmosphere at a fest is definitely enjoyable ne~!!
The area which I was at had some water pistols placed there so
I took it along with me all the way to the stage!!
This time I performed wearing a skirt!!
As it was a really refreshing change, I did a few twirls~!
The SOUND OF FOREST had a nice feel.
A big thank you to everyone who came.

せっかくの休日のつもりだったけど・・・ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL に行って来ました。
駐車場から会場に到着した時には
もう、YUIのスタート直前だったので
そのままPAの方へ行きました。
ちょっとバランス取りにくそうだったけど
まあ無事に終了。

楽屋エリアに戻ってから
少しだけYUIとは雑談で盛り上がって
共有スペースに移動してみると
知ってる顔に沢山 出会いました。
昨日までレコーディングで一緒だったステレオ|ニーの
メンバー3人にも会いました。
なんと、沖縄からもう10日間以上ずっと旅が続いているらしい・・・。
本当にご苦労様。。。
マニュピの山本さんのiPhoneを
見せてもらいながら
やっぱり羨ましいなぁとかも思いました。
そして、牟田さんと飲みにいく約束もしました(笑)

たまに大勢の人と
いっきに会うと疲れるけど
楽しいですね。
ビートルマザーのショーゴが
カフェオレをごちそうしてくれました。
皆さんありがとう!!
8月いよいよYUIと新曲の制作に入ります!!

Despite it being a rare rest day...
I went to the ROCK IN JAPAN festival.
When I crossed over to the venue from the carpark,
It was just before YUI's appearance,
So I made my way towards the PA area.
Although it seemed a little difficult to perform smoothly (must be the sound system thing again),
Well.. it still ended fine.

After returning to the backstage area,
I had a random chat with YUI for a while.
When I popped over to the common space to take a look,
I saw many familiar faces.
I also met the 3 members of Stereophony whom I had been with right up till yesterday due to recordings.
It seems that they have been spending more than 10 days travelling about since they came over from Okinawa.
It's hard on you guys indeed...
As I got Yamamoto-san to show me his iPhone,
I was really envious of it.
And I managed to make a plan to go for a drink with Muta-san some time. (lol)
When meeting up with so many people at the same time once in a while,
It's kinda tiring but it's fun.
Shogo from Beatle Mother treated me cafe au lait (coffee with milk) as well.
Thank you everyone!!
And it will be recording with YUI in August for her new song!!

SOUND OF FOREST 14:50 YUI
A rush of golden wind blows through the forest!
One after another, people began to stream into the SOUND OF FOREST area. YUI, appearing in a rare skirt outfit with a water pistol in one hand and a wide cute smile on her face, has been performing at Forest for the 4th year running now. Starting off with the first line "Is everyone enjoying themselves..?!", she then went on "I hope that everyone would be able to have lots of wonderful memories this summer. As such, I would like to sing a song filled with memories of summer." YUI then began singing Inoue Yousui's 'Shounen jidai'! (click the name/title to hear what it's like) This came as a huge surprise. There was a nostalgy in the air that was overwhelming. After performing the recent popular hits 'Laugh away' and 'SUMMER SONG', it was 'Good-bye Days' acoustic. The sound did not turn out nicely, and for a moment the performance was stopped, but once again she began to play the guitar calmly. (Apparently the sound systems had a lot of problems on that day, according to some live reports I read) YUI was in a very relaxed mood today and had a cheery expression on her face. In addition, the long awaited 'CHE.R.RY'! The ending was songs from the core of her latest album, with a heavy ensemble. Lastly, a sincere message from YUI delivered directly to the audience, who then left the stage with an air of coolness.

KaiserKawaii - August 2, 2008 04:03 PM (GMT)
i wish someone has the audio for the old song... it sounds really nice that i wanna hear YUI-san sing it too...
it would be different ne? because YUI-san uses a guitar.... i wonder how it sounded and how slow she sang it... the song sounds like a winter song that a summer song though...

Here is the transcript for Rock in Japan Festival 2008!
I think YUI was really cute in this festival, although the sound quality wasnt the best.
Yup, like YUI said, フェスを楽しんでいきましょう!(Let's enjoy the festival!)
===========================================================
*YUI enters*
Wow. This feels good!
Hi everyone! Thanks.
It's the 1st of August. Finally, August has come. It's hot, isn't it?
Audience: Yeah!
Shall we create some good memories of summer this year before we go back....?
Go back? I mean, let's create some good memories for summer this year!
Audience: Yeah!
Let me sing a song about summer.
*Shounen Jidai*
Come on, together. Uh-hu-hu~ Uh-hu-hu
Let's sing together.Uh-hu-hu~ Uh-hu-hu
Thank you.
*Laugh Away*
*Summer Song*
Forest... Sound of Forest. This is my third time, also my third year, performing in this event.
There are many trees around, and it makes me feel at ease.
And there are people blowing bubbles around, too.
The first time I learnt about the fun of singing at a festival was thanks to this even too.
It's sunny today, and the weather is good. Feels good, doesnt it?
All right, I'd like you to listen to this acoustic song- Good-bye days.
*Goodbye days*
Is this all right? What's wrong... Thanks.
*Continues Goodbye days after technical error*
Get some water, while taking a rest... yup, that's the feeling of a festival, right?
It's hot, so take some water.
Rock in Japan starts today, so things are going to get more and more exciting as the festival progresses.
So, let's create memories from this festival.
Let's enjoy this festival!
Audience: Yeah!
*CHE.R.RY*
Let's get high!
Bass: Ei-chan!
Drums: Muta-chan!
Guitar: Kaji-chan!
Computer: Te-chan!
Guitar Vocalist: YUI!
*No Way*
*Daydreamer*
*LIFE*
Thank you.
The people in front, please be careful not to crush each other! Dont injure yourselves.
Thanks for accompanying me.
The next song would be the last one.
Thank you.
Let's have a blast and continue enjoying the festival, all right?
Okay, please listen to the last song- Love is all.
*Love is all*
Thank you very much!
Let's continue to enjoy!!
