(Sina entertainment news – S)
S: Its your first time coming to Shanghai. Have you performed in China before?
YUI: I went to Hong Kong during June, and held a concert there. It’s my first time coming to China (mainland).
S: What is your impression of Shanghai?
YUI: The buildings in Shanghai are very unique, and the city view is beautiful. Shanghai’s food are also delicious!
S: What are your feelings of being the ambassador for better China-Japan ties*? (sorry couldn’t really find a better term for this)
YUI: I felt a lot of love. Love from friends and support. Chinese fans are also very warm.
S: Heard that you love eating sweet and sour pork, have you tried China’s?
YUI: Yes, I really love eating sweet and sour pork. Previously in japan, I had worked in a Chinese restaurant. That’s the first time I had tried sweet and sour pork, and I liked it ever since then. Although China’s sweet and sour pork taste a little different from Japan’s, it is still very delicious.
S: What kind of music do you like?
YUI: I love music a lot, as long as it’s good music, I will like it. There isn’t any genre that I dislike. (I’m not sure how to phrase this, but she’s sort of saying that she doesn’t ‘discriminate’ any particular genre.)
S: This time in China, have you prepared any special performance for your fans here?
YUI: I’m joining the Japan week karaoke contest, and will also perform a street live in Jing An District, singing my latest song and a song created not long after I had debuted.
(I’m not really sure if this interview is before or after her performances, but I assumed that this is before, because of her clothes)
S: Anything you would like to say to your fans? What’s the song you would like to recommend to chinese fans the most?
YUI: I’m really thankful for all your support for me. Recently, my album “HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN” was released in China. That was produced through challenging myself repeatedly. I hope everyone will listen to it.
S: Do your have any intention to hold a concert in China in the near future?
YUI: Being able to hold a concert in China is a very media thing* to me, I will work hard and hope that this can be achieved. (*that’s a direct translation. not really sure what she’s saying)
S: Do you have any Chinese singer or actor/actress that you like? Who do you like most?
YUI: For example like Jackie Chan, I like him a lot.
