Yamamoto Sayaka (Sayaka) / 1st Generation

Thanks!! Her voice is lovely and I love her new album. Too bad the album cover is a little scary.

 

@hrs0722 I think it was you that wanted to know Sayanee's guitars, right? 6 of her guitars are listed in GIGS magazine November.

 

The concert last night in Hiroshima was great, sad to see empty seats around me on the second level.

It was an all seated concert so crowd interaction were probably not as intense as a regular standing concert, but everyone was standing for most of the concert except when Sayaka sat and asked us to do the same.

It was 2h10 minutes roughly with 40 minutes of MC (2 or 3), boy can she talk....

Merch was available before and after the show, only the wristband sold out very early, too bad it was one of the items on my list.

 

It's unfortunate especially it's her first time holding a live there. She felt relli insecure cuz places like Fukuoka and Hiroshima weren't selling out. Although to be fair Hiroshima was one of those bimyo places..it's not really far from kansai nor is it relli close..

 

The Carps were playing at the same time, didn’t help either.

But great concert, 85 to 90% full and some merch sold out very fast... (wristbands)

 

Would you pls help tell me the set list for Hiroshima concert?

From Yuihan thread:

[ENG] Yokoyama Yui 755 October 25, 2017

表題曲でシンメ！！

お互い初めて選抜入りさせていただいた
Everyday、カチューシャのときの 裏ジャケ写の
二人の仲よくないかんじだったのが
もはやめちゃくちゃ昔のことなのですが（笑）
その時には想像できてなかったこと。

夢のようです。

Symmetry in the title song!!

We've selected each other for the first time
It was during Everyday, Katyusha back jacket photography
It seemed those two weren't getting along
Such ancient history already (lol)
Something I couldn't imagine at the time.

It's like a dream.

^ Is that a miniature advertising truck that I see??

That would almost be tempting except for the prohibitive overhead of international shipping for just one small item, sigh.

 

and

And it's a very small item, truck easily fits in one hand

 

I don't really understand this... Please help. I love Yokoyamamoto

 

well, basically Yuihan talks abt the beginning of their lovely friendship.. & the rest is history.. yokoyamamoto forever.. hehe..

 

Thanks for explaining!! Yokoyamamoto is the only Sayaka pairing that's still alive

 

Yeah.. I really like both of them.. They were so close & support each other.. See it on many occasion.. Yokoyamamoto rules..

 

They read Dazai Osamu....

 

-Footage from the Hiroshima concert. How the fuck does the idol world justify Sayanee having to wait until she was 23 to let her amazing talent shine, while Mayuyu got a solo single at 18years old?

if the video does not show watch the video here

-Sayanee on 'Melodix!'. 9 minutes of talking first, then she sings Joker.

Backup: http://48videodouga.net/video/5766

-Sayanee and Yuihan on 'Kyoto Irodori Nikki'. Mostly walking, talking and eating

Backup: http://48videodouga.net/video/5663

-'FujiTV NEXT' aired 3 full live songs from 'Dori Uta Fes 2017': Yuki Koi, Hitoiki Tsukinagara, and Nande Demo.

-Her appearance in 'Futari Monologue' as a PE teacher turns out to only be a few seconds, hardly anything. Episode 03 at 7m:30s and then again at 12m:30s.

-Kawaei went to her Hiroshima concert, as did Team8's Shitao Miu and Abe Mei (graduated). And a bunch of HKT48 girls went to the Fukuoka concert.

Spoiler: Kawaei, Team8, HKT

 

Part 1, you know the answer like all of us, the Idol world is more about looks over substance. Being a good singer and musically trained does not help, ask Wasamin or many others. I like Mayuyu but like many others she has a limited singing range, better than some though.

I knew there was something special happening that night in Hiroshima, Kawaei and Sayaka in the same room, no wonder I was feeling like I was on a cloud.

A couple a girls were escorted to the Balcony's first row (which was mostly empty) just as the venue went dark, wondering if it was Kawaei just 3 rows ahead of me..... maybe, maybe not but it's a nice thought.

 

She's truly a beautiful girl! Yes, she looks pretty even without make up.

One of my favourite songs! And this arrangement sounds great!

IMHO, Sayanee's albums have quite a strong character that is not particularly idol-ish. Therefore, perhaps she'll need to really grab the attention of general public to be able to take off. I remember the first time I listen to Rainbow, I thought that had I not known Sayanee is a 48 girl, perhaps I wouldn't have guessed that she's an idol.

 

Any insights why music station hasn't ever invited her? Did her solo not making an impact enough to be featured? Both Rainbow and Identity is never featured.

I mean, current female solo act which is sayanee's peer eg ieiri Leo, ohara sakurako, miwa, sakura (forgot her last name)... etc are all invited. I don't know whether music station still a top barometer for this but how do you think sayanee's solo is actually competing there? Anyone have experience first hand in Japan?

Indeed! I prefer girls with out (too much) make up. Sayanee is a 'natural beauty', I would say. One more reason to love her.

Her new songs are great. But I like 'let's go crazy' and 'どうしてどうして' the most.
And to me it sounds like she is experimenting with genres. But I'm not a music expert. :q
