YUI-Lover Collaboration

From YUIkipedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

In celebration of YUI-Lover's 1st Anniversary as a forum community, one of our earlier YUI-Lover members, *Shine!, started the idea of creating a collaboration music album with YUI-Lovers across the world. YUI-Lover members work together every year to make a CD gift that is sent to YUI-san for her birthday. We had also begun sending extra copies to e.u.Band members & YUI Staff members.

Th first three YUI-Lover Collaborations (2007-2009) were sent to YUI Locks! This is a weekly radio show that YUI once participated in. In 2007, YUI LOCKS! held a "F chord" competition where people submitted the F chord or LIFE cover.

YUI-Lovers over the years have completed a total of 8 YUI-Lover CDs (Collaboration 1-6, Christmas & Shake My Heart~World Version)! Some of these songs have been featured on YUI Radio and in YUI/Staff Diary/School of Lock entries. When the time comes, a new thread will open up for the next collaboration and this is where you'll be able to post recordings, artwork, and more information on how to participate!

For more information on the making of the CDs, please visit the forum community.

How to Participate

Generally, YUI-Lovers team up with each other to make a cover of a song. Members share their instrumental tracks and mix with vocal recordings.

  • Can’t sing? No worries!:

We’d like to welcome others to join in by creating some artwork! It can be anything! Hand-drawings, digital artwork, photography, collages, be creative!

  • Can't sing nor draw?

It would be wonderful if you can contribute to the production cost of making this project happen! Anything will be great! Shipping from Canada is pricey but I guarantee you it will arrive safely and be put together very nicely ^__^

  • Submit your songs!

Here are some ideas:

- Record a song cover of YUI’s music
- Make a remix version! Example: Language adaptations (English lyrics or Spanish etc.), Acoustic versions, Rap/Funk/Samba/Classical, Vocaloid, etc.
- Your own original song! Please write your lyrics and post ASAP so it can be translated into Japanese *if necessary*

2007 YUI-Lover Collaboration

YUI-san aired our fellow members,Alanna16 and anas604's song covers on YUI-Locks radio making YUI-Lover history! Alanna16 was part of the Shinigami Band where YUI-san played their cover of LIFE. anas604 wrote an English version of TOKYO and this cover was aired on December 6th, 2007.

DELIVERING YUI-Lover Collaboration 4 CD TO YUI:

March 11th Tohoku Tsunami/Earthquake Disaster - Worry amongst the YUI-Lover Community:
After the package arrived on March 15th there were no mentions of our project. It was absolutely understandable with the horrible disaster in Japan which occurred on March 11th, that it was not an appropriate time to inquire the studio/staff about this. The YUI-Lover (YL) community was concerned for those caught in the disaster, and the safety of fellow YUI-Lover members, for YUI's staff members, the e.u.band, and YUI herself.

March 18th - Backy's Blog — YUI’s Status and Message for YUI-Lover.

Over the next few days, the YL community wanted to know about the safety and status' of YUI, the e.u.band members, and thestaff. Thankfully, staff and YUI posted their thoughts (YUI's Diary, Staff Diary, and we had heard everyone was safe with only a minor injury to e.u.band member, Maimai. We also left a blog post messages for e.u.band members where Backy responded back to us on his blog. Read the messages here


Lost package scenarios
Relieved, the YL members began to wonder if the Collaboration package was received properly. The YL community patiently waited for a future blog post that would mention our gift on blog sites from the staff, e.u. band members and YUI. However, it had been almost a month since we had sent the package and YUI's birthday had passed already.

Different scenarios of what could have gone wrong began to surface, including it being lost, destroyed, misplaced due to the earthquake, etc.. Other things that could have gone wrong included: address written wrong, arrived in the wrong address, receptionist threw it out, thrown out after mess from earthquake etc.

As the fears mounted, one of YUI-Lover's administrator member, Kikino, decided to contact Honey Bee Studio and messaged everyone's blog once again.


April 1st - Backy's Response & visits YUI-Lover.com
After leaving messages asking if the package was seen or not, Backy directly responds back with the following message

The truth is that I haven't received the CD yet...
Maybe it's because we haven't met with YUI's manager recently?
But I listened to it completely!
I downloaded it from YUI-Lover website (laughs)
Everybody was splendid!
From Kikino's yupi-locks.com blog entry


The YL community was exhilarated that Backy-san was able to download and had visited YUI-Lover's website. The collaboration participants from YL were excited but also quite anxious over the whereabouts of the collaboration package. Many people had worked hard and put in a lot of their time and efforts into creating such a well-produced CD present. The YUI-Lover community continued to wait for a response.


April 7th - Yuusuke (e.u.band's smiling manager) Replies
