Yamamoto Sayaka (Sayaka) / 1st Generation

It's available in the US iTunes

 

Thanks, I'll be on the lookout for the album. If it's out in the US then maybe it will be available in my area soon (it's not yet out at this moment).

 

Ah, I see... I used 'Yamamoto Sayaka' as a search term and can't find the album. Using her kanji (?) name works! Apparently it is available. Thanks for the tip.

In the process, I learned that Sayanee's name read in Chinese is something like Shan Ben Cai?

 

Because of how Kanji can be read either using kunyomi (Japanese pronunciation) or onyomi (Chinese pronunciation). Kanji in names are read using japanese pronouciations most time. If pronounced using Onyomi it would be San Hon Sai.

 

Yeah, I can only recognize the first character (Yama/Shan).

In any case, I love the album! I like that it's got a rock sound instead of yet another bubbly Idol song. Really fits Sayanee, IMHO. This might be the solo album from a 48G member that I like the most.

I knew I heard that from somewhere!
She played the ED song of "Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence" by Sakamoto Ryuichi -->
if the video does not show watch the video here
--- what a good piece for her to showcase to the people around at that time!

Old but good movie that. Though somewhat homoerotic

 

I did a write-up on her Tokyo mini-live in the NMB Experiences thread.

Yeah she mentioned she would post a twin tail pic after the show. Koji, the long-haired guitarist, started tying his hair into twin tails when she mentioned it, which was a good laugh.

 

Love this song

I actually wonder, does Sayanee play piano too? If she does, would like to see....

 

She does play piano, maybe not as good as her guitar.

Here is a short segment of her playing the theme song from Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.

I place Sayanee under Multi Talented category in my list.

Hopefully when the time comes for Sayanee to venture into the deep Jungle, her agency will not let her down.
