Yui: Can’t Buy My Love

Midnight shopping every last Friday of the month at Orchard, i managed to buy Yui’s latest album! Entitled “Can’t Buy My Love”, its her second full album to be released and its been met with tremendous success, surpassing sales records of her first album entitled “From Me To You”.

~Tracklist~

1. How crazy

2. Rolling star

3. It’s all right

4. I remember you

5. RUIDO

6. CHE.R.RY

7. Thank you My teens

8. Umbrella

9. Highway chance

10. Happy Birthday to you you

11. Winding road

12. Good-bye days

13. Why?

On the first week of her second album released, it sold more than 290 000 copies, easily gaining the number 1 spot in terms of physical record sales. Thats quite impressive indeed for a rising star. Her popularity must be attributed to her iconic song that was featured in the openings and endings of the popular anime, Bleach. Her catchy tune and rock inspired melody must have been a hit for younger generation of fans and im certainly one of them. Whats even more impressive is that it still maintained the number 1 spot on the second week, selling another 100 000 copies, before dropping to number 3 on the third week. With that being said, ill truly be supporting Yui from now on. She really needs a lot of support, after having gone through this far.

This is her first album:

~Tracklist~

1. Merry Go Round

2. Feel my soul

3. Ready to love

4. Swing of life

5. LIFE

6. Blue wind

7. I can’t say

8. Simply white

9. Just my way

10 Tomorrow’s way

11. I know

12. TOKYO

13. Spiral & Escape

LIFE from the first album was featured in bleach as the 5th ending, while Rolling Star was featured as the 5th opening. In my opinion, the 5th bleach opening is by far the best i’ve seen. Not only musically, but the opening animation and effects.

Yui will be releasing a new single soon, entitled “My Generation/Understand” You can read more about it here and a short preview is also available.
