Thank you my teens
March 6, 2009
Today I turned 20! In the words of YUI:
I though I didn’t want to become an adult
But I am turning 20
Thank you my teens
Goodbye my teens….but still is 19 really any different than 20? Well who care? This will be the only day in my life where I can listen to Thank you my teens and have it actually apply! I must enjoy it =)
Besides that, I have to say I’m pretty sad that YUI went on a break, but the good news is that she’s going to be collaborating with stereopony! When I found out, I didn’t know who Stereopony was, but all the same I’m excited to see what kind of song YUI will compose for another group! Apparently they met unexpectedly in a recording studio in Okinawa and decided to it then (hm…no pun intended?). and of course I had to look up stereopony and let me say, I am pleasantly surprised.

Stereopony was formed in Okinawa and consists of (from left to right) Nohana (bass), Shiho (drums), and Aimi (vocals/guitar). Hitohiro no Hanabira was their first single and also ending theme for Bleach. Their second single, Namida no Mukou, was an opening theme for one of the Gundam series. Without Taiwanese girl band Cherry Boom releasing anything I am missing my girl power music…but now I think that void has been filled by Stereopony.
I’ve really been enjoying both their singles, especially the chorus of Hitohiro no Hanabira. Although I wasn’t in love with vocals, there’s definitely a charm to it that I think will grow on me.
I’m really interested to hear what YUI will do for them. Musically, Stereopony is similar to YUI’s recent style but I wonder how YUI will match up with their sound. The single, titled “I do it,” will be released on April 22, but the song will be available starting March 18, so I suppose I won’t have to wait too long…
And I don’t know if this is some marketing ploy to promote Stereopony or to keep YUI’s name out there during her break, but all that same: YAY! for more YUI! and for a newly discovered group that I like!
