Updates

25 December 2007 » Updates/New Layout!

Sorry! It's been so long since I've updated, I sincerely apologize! But I come bearing things - a new layout (yay!) and more content - including new lyrics and translations from Angela's newest album, TODAY, a download of that new album, plus I've rotated in some new songs you can sample, and added a few new PVs that you can check out. I also scans of the HOME, TODAY and MY KEYS DVD cases and booklets, so you can find those on the scans page, which *finally* has got some content. Oh, and I took down the "reviews" section, since it seemed kind of pointless. It was mostly written as filler, anyway ^^; Finally, my sweet Secret Santa has donated some cool new icons, plus I've made a few myself (mostly textless, since I'm not feeling clever today x_x), so take a look at those!

23 May 2007 » Translated Lyircs <3!

Oooh, two updates in two days, you can really tell when I've got time off, lol. Anyway, I'm posting because Cloud was kind enough to let me post his translations of a few of Angela's songs, so the lyrics section isn't pathetically lacking in that department anymore!

22 May 2007 » OMG Update!

So you guys can feel free to kill me, I know it's been forever, and Angela has released a couple of things, since I last updated. Sorry, sorry, school > me. Anyway, I do come bearing stuff! I've added both the Sakurairo and Kodoku no Kakera singles and PVs to the downloads section, and I've also done my best to update the lyrics section with the romaji to her latest songs.

Angela's also released her eagerly-awaited concert DVD, MY KEYS 2006 in Budokan, so please support her and purchase it! You can get it at CDJapan, or YesAsia (CDJapan is cheaper <3). It's amazing, please get it!

01 Jan 2007 » Another Update!

Well, you should probably know by now, but another single by Angela has been officially announced, finally! The single's title is Sakurairo, and will feature three new(ish) songs - Sakurairo (obviously), On & On, and The Power of MUSIC, plus a piano rendition of her first single's title track, Home! How awesome is that? The DVD that comes with the (special edition, probably, isn't that how it works?) single will feature the Sakurairo PV, Home as performed live on her Zepp tour, and the making of the Sakurairo PV. Nifty, right? "Sakurairo" itself is translated to "cherry blossom color" by one of the few online translators I could find, so I guess we'll see how that goes, ne? Anyway, I'm just happy to hear something new from Angela!

Speaking of which, I updated the downloads page with a rip of Power of MUSIC, which was posted on YouTube by Zamber here. This is where we worship resourceful people for sharing music with us desperate fan-girls and boys :3 Power of MUSIC is the re-arrangement/re-writing of MUSIC from her Home album, and was featured in a Japanese commercial campaign. So now we finally have the full version of it to listen to and fawn over as we wait for Sakurairo! By the way, if you're curious, you can listen to a short clip of Sakurairo, also posted on YouTube by Zamber, here. CAN NOT WAIT!

14 Dec 2006 » Update...

Gah, I'm a baaaad webmaster, I had hoped to update sooner than this... ^^; At any rate, there are new things to mention, so I shall! First, I've added two more items to the downloads section: a 40-second preview of Angela's newest song, On & On, which will be used as an image song for the movie Inugami-ke no Ichizoku! Cool, huh? A release date has yet to be announced for the single, but, the song is supposed to be on the soundtrack, which was released yesterday, so hopefully we'll be hearing a lengthier version soon!

The second item added was Angela's October 10th 2005 Fukuyama live, which features five songs (Kiseki, Will You Dance, Rain, Home, and Louisiana 1927) and three interludes with Angela speaking. You can download that here. Thanks so much to Ami for sharing this great live!

Also, a new interviews page has been added, which will have links to English-language interviews with Angela Aki. So far, there are two: one with JMusic Europa, and a two-part interview with IGN. Check them out, they're really interesting!

Finally, there are now some icons for you to use, donated by my wonderful Secret Santa, who will be credited once s/he is revealed. :D Thanks, Santa!

08 Oct 2006 » Grand Opening~

Well, this is the guraaand opening of "Memories of Love", an Angela Aki fansite! There are still some things I'm working on, namely the media, like scans and icons and wallpapers, but other than that, everythings pretty much up and running. I'm waiting for permission from The Cherry Garden to post translations of Angela's lyrics, so for now, only the romaji are posted. Sorry! Hopefully permission will come soon!
