I'm beginning to think you have the energy to be the forum mascot...

I do have a whole lot of energy!
I jump up and down a lot, Try to dance to Raspberry♥Heart a lot, and i'm usually constantly hyper.
Usually so hyper i have to suppress it in school otherwise i act like a mad man, and laugh a lot... and scream....

I was wondering why Sayaka's thread already had two pages.

I was sooo excited until I actually heard all 3 songs.. which sound almost exactly alike.

And seeing the videos... I think Saya's little sister got her first video camera for Christmas and wanted to try it out.


Have you seen her nose?! (Not that I don't like it or am bashing on her or anything.  It's cute. )

Anyway, yay for Sayaka.  Find some more interesting songs to sing to and I'll follow your solo endeavors! (Blah, I probably will anyway.  )

EDIT: Heyyyy. Can someone translate the very last line on her profile page? According to google, it says..

"2008 "BeForU" activities as a member. "

It's probably wrong, but maybe it's saying she's still a member of the group. 

Well, being that Sayaka and Riyu are the only two members who haven't shown any concrete nor ambiguous hint of leaving yet, I don't think I'd be that surprised.

By the way, I find it kind of interesting that out of all the members, the two who are most likely still there just so happen to be the two who I'd personally regard as the best vocalists in terms of skill (although I may not be the biggest fan of their voices).

I don't think those are the official videos for the songs, i think they are just a way to kind of promote them, so if she does release a lead single it'll have a different official video.

And does anyone know if this will be underAVEX/Konami/Be+Wings?

The outfit Sayaka wears in LIFE reminds me of the general outfits of BeForU in Rx3. At least, the top half does. 
And I have the oddest feeling that I've heard the melody in Sonzai somewhere else before.

Meanwhile, her fanclub will start on the first of March.

Just random speculation:
Since the site is called South Wind, maybe "sayaka" is one of these:
澄風
快風
清風
爽風

since Minami means south and 風 is the character for wind. Of course I wouldn't bet on it since there are so many hundreds of ways of writing her name.

2008, in the role of being among the activity of a BeForU member.
(something along those lines, very rough translation, I'm too tired and lazy to try and make it work out better.)


And btw, random question: what does the .nu in the URL mean? (and isn't it odd that her site topics are written in English and yet the actual stuff is Japanese?)

.nu is a domain name for the island of Niue. Funny she would use something like that.

Maybe free-webhosting?

I want a bunny.

P.S Here you go. A reference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.nu

[Semi off-topic] Yeah, it's not free web-hosting.  .NU domains are really expensive.  The domain itself, not including web-hosting at all, is 180$ USD for 2 years, which is the minimum amount of time that you can pay for.  Compare that to my domain which I got for free with my web-hosting package.  The total for mine, including all web-hosting costs (for 2 years, and my domain is free for life), is less than what Sayaka payed for the domain itself.  Plus, there aren't many web hosting companies that host .NU websites (yet), so you're going to have less to choose from and end up paying more too. But oh well, at least it's easy for people to remember!    Saya must be rich.

[also semi-off-topic)
I've always wondered how rich the girls are, and how rich most of the Benami people are.

(semi-off topic)
Most of the beatnation artists (from what I've gathered) are fairly well off, same with the majority of the other bemani artists that make an appearance or at least have enough money to be musicians and live a fairly good lifestyle.  Even though they have unusual ways of... saving money.

Like how? I do know she comes from the rural areas of Japan (if you consider Yamanashi a rural area).

I don't know, but I feel that the perception of Japanese being "rich" is due to their society having a very "western upper class" way of life. I don't read much into Japanese society from their point of view due to my rather bad Japanese.

And somehow she has this interesting hoppy hobby of collecting toy sheep.

UPDATE : It seems that the bunny is scheduling the album release or funclub activation on 1st of March. Thank goodness my conscription is in April, which means more time for me to stalk the bunny (sounds abit wrong here, don't know why). Source : http://www.sayaka.nu/funclub.html

I really, really, really, really, really, really hope it's an album.
