    Promotion is not simply appearing on music shows. Even more importantly is how much notices you see on TV CMs / stations / malls / streets, including on the roads like ad trucks. This album has much better promotion than Takamina's.

    Anyways 1st day is already 3 times of Takamina's 1st week.

    I just realized that she's finally release "Hitoikitsuginagara" lol

    Well, that's right. Some songs are just standard jpop song.
    But, there's a few songs that really stand out (for me), like Rainbow Rose, Yukikoi, Bad Days, Hitoiki, and my favorite off the album, SMILE!! :omg:

    Overall, I'll give 3,9 out of 5 stars for this album.

    Album is ok~ I like quite a lot of songs, but I have no idea if I'd have them on repeat u know? Still, for a first time release from Sayaka I think it's good and the sales are actually pretty good tbh

    Cross-post from Sayaka's thread just in case.

    Hello there I posted a really lengthy but comprehensive translation of an interview with Sayanee on her solo debut where she discussed about various things such as the songs itself, how she came up with the name of the album, the songwriting process, the recording process, her motivations, her goals and hopes etc.

    It was titled:

    Yamamoto Sayaka Special Interview


    The Long-Awaited Solo Debut of NMB48’s Captain in Achieving Her Dream to be a Singer-Songwriter

    To read the full thing please check it out here:

    @convenience93 thank you, I enjoyed reading it. It was cool that there are specific mentions of almost all songs, making me more curious about the other songs other than Yukikoi and Hitoiki.

    One more thing, I felt like it, so I translated the lyrics to Track 4 from Sayaka's Rainbow album, Kanojo ni Naritai!
    Enjoy!

    You can refer to the Japanese lyrics here:

    https://mojim.com/jpy176567x1x4.htm

    It’s one of the songs she wrote and composed herself, and it's a cute pop rock song about a girl in love!

    Kanojo ni Naritai Lyrics Translation

    Composer: Yamamoto Sayaka

    Lyricist: Yamamoto Sayaka


    Yet again I found myself unable to say to you

    Just the two words, “Good morning”

    Though I had decided to say them to you today


    What time did you wake up this morning?

    You have a bit of bedhair and it’s kind of standing out

    But that part of you is adorable


    Whenever I think about you

    I end up getting butterflies in my stomach


    Please look this way

    Even from way back, you’ve always been the only one I see

    My heart just keeps beating faster and faster for you

    And there’s no one in this world who can stop it


    I heard your voice coming from somewhere

    So I tried turning back just to see

    Who is that person next to you?


    The way your face crunches up when you laugh

    And your frank and serious side profile too

    I want to have it all for myself


    Everything in this world projected in my eyes

    They’re shining bright at all times, that’s the magic of love


    Please hurry up and notice

    I love you more than anyone else, that’s for sure

    Even just when our eyes meet, could it be you feel for me too…

    Somehow I end up being expectant


    Sparkling in the night sky was a shooting star

    At that moment I murmured, “I want to be that person’s girlfriend”


    Please look this way

    Even from way back, you’ve always been the only one I see

    Perhaps this will have a happy ending?

    I’ll prove that I can decide that answer for myself, it’ll all be okay


    Please hurry up and notice

    I love you more than anyone else, that’s for sure

    Even just when our eyes meet, could it be you feel for me too…

    Somehow I end up being expectant


    Please look this way

    Even from way back, you’ve always been the only one I see

    My heart just keeps beating faster and faster for you

    And there’s no one in this world who can stop it

    I'm here for the slayage.

    She's gonna get in a week better sales than Ayu's latest got in a month?

    Bring it, Queen of Namba!

    I haven't listened to the album properly because whenever I get to BAD DAYS I have to listen to it 163 times in a row and it leaves me exhausted.

    Same thing happens to me every time I get to Kokoro no Tate.

    I'm really happy Sayanee didn't disappoint. <3

    Lemme correct myself.

    Sayanee got in THREE DAYS what Ayu got in (over) TWO MONTHS.

    Y-A-S!

    Sayanee with a pretty great album and great sales numbers! I'd call this an amazing success, and another certain former member's "solo debut" a complete and utter failure. The numbers can't even be compared...
