Sorry I don’t know the details. If you know anyting please post here or in the forum!

YUI had performed “HELLO” at Music Station this past Friday! She is seen walking in with her “wu-wang” hand sign^__^

Chris is on the drums this time ! He did great!

Music Station also visits places in Fukuoka where both YUI and fellow Music Station guest, Shiina Ringo, is from too.. You can see familiar spots like Shinguu beach, the Shinguu train station and Fukuoka’s Yahoo Dome where YUI used to play guitar. Some of the children get really excited to see YUI and compliments on how she’s super beautiful. YUI can be seen reacting a little embarrassed in the little camera box on the top right (>__<) haha

They also chat with YUI and how she goes downhill mountain biking! So cooooool! You can see YUI all geared up with the protective gear too.

YUI no Ontama (Episode 03, 2011/11/02) – BEST 3 (Worst 3 Experiences)

1) 1) During the live, she went to go get the glasses she got form her friend and ended up going to the bathroom. She didnt tell anyone where she went so apparently caused some difficulty for the staff who thought they lost her.
2)  She went to a live house and since her hat was pulled right down she thought she bumped into someone with the same shirt. she wanted to avoid them, they went the same way, turns out it was a mirror.
3) I always shout to everyone who attend my live
“Ok, people who in 1st floor, please stand up, and the 2nd floor, and when I said 3rd floor~ there was no 3rd floor” LOL
Ontama: so what did you do to diffuse that embarrassing situation? (rough guess-translation)

Thanks to blackdog

They broadcasted a short preview of YUI’s performance on this week’s episode of Bokura no Ongaku.
Green a.live accompanied with a section of (real) strings has a really impressive feeling!

The guest to meet YUI at the show will be Goro Kishitani, who played the role of Kaoru’s father on Taiyou no Uta.

Once again YUI had a fun talk with the members of Perfume.

They also showed some footage of YUI’s street live in Hong Kong.

Interview translated by panda

Both: I look forward to working with you!!

Ｐ： Recently, over in Hong Kong…

Ｙ： I went to do a live.

Narrator first oversea blah blah also did a street live

Ｙ： We said “doche” for arigatou. Well its like, alot of thanks (謝) from the kanji gratitude (感謝) it seems thats how you read it.

Ｐ： It sounds like a sweet

Ｙ： I know right! Something like Dolce or words like that I feel they can be easily mistaken.

Ｐ: Is there something you are into recently?

Ｙ： In your homes where you dry things like towels becomes musty doesn’t it?

Ｐ： Uhm, yeah!

Ｙ： To deal with that I thought what should I do to make the smell go away, so I gave my all into researching it and am comparing detergents.

Ｐ： Eeeeehhhhhh? (loads of giggling)

Narrator blah blah to be continued but first the new song…

Some roumors said NOHANA from sutereopony would join this time on TV performances, but for some reason they decided not to include the band this time. What’s gonna happen in Music Station?

Her voice was really good!

The song ends. And back to the interview!

Narrator: YUI who loves doing the laundry, recently is really into comparing detergents!

Ｙ： There are a lot of various enzyme detergents and chlorine detergents but at the moment I’m challenging the enzyme one.

Ｐ： You already went through the chlorine ones?

Ｙ： No, I’m still at the beginning.

Ｐ：Our A~chan loves to the laundry at home. Her hobby, hobby washing.

Ａ： Uwahahahaha.

Ｙ： Things like the smell?

Ａ： I also like the smell. Do you know this? It starts like this and then drops. You hang it up and the things come out..

Ｙ： Ah, I get it. I just got it

Ｐ： Octopus legs!

Ａ： That’s right octopus legs. I really like hanging things like this on the octopus legs/

Ｙ： Eeeeeeeeeeeeh!

Ａ： In the middle there are these clippy things right. Beforehand on your arm

Ｙ： You hang it there (the clothes)

Ａ： (I think Kusu is the clipping sound) I love going along making go clip clip

Ｙ： Wondering how fast you can go?

Ａ： YES!

Ｙ： Thats Lovely!

This performance was recorded before YUI went to Shanghai and Italy.

YUI looked a bit tired this time. She has been working so hard!

Here is she trying to remember her speech xD

The performance starts in the night.

Clearing up as the song continues.

Finally everything turns white!

She smiled subtly only at one part of the song.

Her performance was full of emotion…

To end within the stars!

Earlier today, Mezamashi TV featured YUI’s appearance in Shanghai!

The report features YUI arriving in Shanghai with fans giving her a warm welcome then to her street live in Xin Tian Di and her performance at the Jiu Guang mall. Great to see so many fans in Shanghai! Looks like some of them went to Hong Kong to see her too!

YUI, you’re so awesome~ Even though there are language barriers everyone was enjoying the moment. Go YUI music power~ haha  Seems like some Japanese fans from Hakata went too…sugoi~~

“Green a.live” acoustic live is so good…lucky fans to be the first to hear it live ! — gotchi

Thanks blackdog

And last but not least, Music Japan!

She had a short talk with the girls of Perfume about the things she has been doing / planning to do lately. Translations by azmikun on their way~~

She clapped a lot this time (But I couldn’t listen to it…)
…What was she looking at up there??

Everytime YUI closed her eyes, Maimai would take her chance to sing secretly in the back… xD

I like this “Please don’t go” stance ; _ :
This time, her voice was really really good!

Marine Look!
Finishing the song, she shuddered for some reason. It was very cute but… what is she looking at?!! xD

Visit the forum for details in HD (σ･∀･)σ

After reading Staff Diary, the crazy hair was no surprise…but it was really crazy!!

This outfit was pretty similar to the one she used in Maritime Square
Jacket + Long dress is a trend started in HHITS Tour right?
Maybe we should get used to it~

The earring is the same she used in Msta. “Marine look”!

At this point I was thinking.. “There must be 8 guys opening the doors back there” xD

“From your retreating figure, I start shedding tears” ; _ ;
I think her interpretative skills have improved a lot too!

She wasn’t smiling much this time. I guess, after two performances, she was feeling much more confident for Music Station. (CDTV and MJ were pre-recorded before)

“YUI-san, arigatou gozaimashitaaa~”
…Don’t you feel like pinching her cheeks here?? (o＾・＾o)

Wuu~

Kon!

The performance was perfect!
