Maeda Yuki to release 1st Album (2009-09-09)

It has been announced that ex-Hello! Project enka extraordinaire Maeda Yuki will release her first album, after nine years in showbusiness on 2009-09-09! Understandably I’m rather shocked by this announcement though it’s most definitely awesome, I’ll definitely be taking a trip out to pick this up!

The album is titled 全曲集, Zenkyokushuu which literally translates as Complete Song Collection so it’s quite possibly just a collection of all of her singles – it’s safe to see that that will be the bulk of the album anyway! I’m hoping for a few new tracks though! It’ll be good to get the harder to get singles such as Naki Usagi in physical format – I have most of what she’s done but not the early singles!

Support Maeda and buy this, please!

Cover for Kenchana ~Daijoubu~

Above you can see the cover for Hello! Project soloist Maeda Yuki’s upcoming 9th and final single with Hello! Project. I think the cover is really pretty special – the picture is beautiful and I love the text-style – I think it’s cool how there is Korean as well!

I myself haven’t actually heard a preview of the song yet but I’m already quite tempted to buy it – I really like Maeda and I’m sure this will be great. If anyone has a preview or knows of it’s location point me in the right direction please!

This single is out on 2009-02-25 and will be released on CD and casette as always!

New Artist Image for Maeda Yuki

The Hello! Project website has uploaded a new profile picture for Maeda Yuki presumably in promotion for her 9th single Kenchana ~Daijoubu~ due out on 2008-02-25. I must say it’s refreshing to see her in something other than traditional Japanese dress!

Maeda Yuki – 9th Single (2008-02-25)

Yet another unexpected release, this time for enka soloist Maeda Yuki. Her 9th and final single as a Hello! Project soloist will be released on 2009-02-25 and will be titled Kenchana.

Now just a single for Mikitty and I’ll be satisfied.

The Hello! Project page has updated Maeda Yuki’s artist photo and discography page with the covers for her forthcoming single Ai Ai Daiko. I absolutely love the cover and her new artist photo is a lot better:

Nishi Shinjuku de Atta Hito (Tokamachi Snow Festival) Video

This isn’t a recent video of Maeda Yuki, it’s about a year and a half old but I think it’s a really great performance of her 7th single Nishi Shinjuku de Atta Hito.

Her 9th single is released on September 29th 2007, if you want to help it sell more than her last single (which wouldn’t be hard) reserve a copy now!
