Sing to the Sky is ayaka’s 2nd album. Included in this album are her popular singles such as Jewelry Day, Te wo Tsunagou and Clap & Love/Why. The track “Konya mo Hoshi ni Dakarete” is the theme song of the 2008 anime film The Sky Crawlers. Do check out the English version of “I Believe” as well (ayaka speaks decent English). My favorites are SKY and Mahoutsukai no Shiwaza. [Download links after the cut].

YUI’s back with her latest single entitled “Summer Song“. I like this better than Namidairo, and listening to Oh My God (track # 2) somehow reminds me of Rolling Star.

Hmm, is it me or.. did YUI lose weight? She’s so slender!! I’m pretty sure she looks chubbier in I Loved Yesterday’s cover. Or maybe I’m just mistaken. Whatever. Go enjoy her music!! [Download links after the cut].

This will be the second time the group has covered a song, the first being a cover of a Luna Sea song used for a special tribute cover album.
