    Inside is a short interview with May'n with regards to her upcoming concert and her outlook in life. http://weekly.ascii.jp/elem/000/000/129/129697/?fb_action_ids=10151332968896374&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=timeline_og&action_object_map=%7B%2210151332968896374%22%3A209527992521314%7D&action_type_map=%7B%2210151332968896374%22%3A%22og.likes%22%7D&action_ref_map=%5B%5D

    Oddly this one is named the ' Papapapan song' which is actually a popular wedding song with no lyrics (I've actually let a married person hear it but she couldn't quite remember where she heard it - sheeesh, her wedding must have been a looooong time ago) Judging from the name It sounded like some prototype song which they haven't quite given a proper name for it and finally decided not to use it. My first thoughts were the same as ATLMYK's. - promo for Sayonara no Tsubasa showed Sheryl in a wedding dress and in church and it looked like Alto didn't quite make it to the church (maybe gone the same way as Fokker in the original TV series!) Could have been popular at weddings - Macross/May'n fan style weddings! Even More Awesome - She sings it LIVE at your wedding! Hmmm......maybe should ask the person who sang this for the background story.....

    Finally they launch their good galore for the concert and the documentary DVD is also available there, one day before the official release. http://mayn.jp/micamania/

    The way I see it, everything is running late. Maybe there was a final cut that director didn't like as the footage of the DVD version is slightly different from the Blu-Ray one. Because of the delays, they decided to go ahead with the DVD mass production or maybe the company doing the Blu-Ray press has it's quota filled and can't accept anymore jobs for the time being. Very likely the Blu-Ray version will come out later as it's the industrial standard today (another fan is also waiting for this format) In any case, if you can't wait - The DVD format encoding is also superb. Judging from the previous concerts releases, you can't see the pixels (I'm watching it on a 37 inch LCD TV ) Thin diagonal lines appear smooth and not 'staircase like'. Only thing I can complain is certain dark areas appear like a faint dark cloud (not patches) and that is only when you look at it up close. I'd remember seeing some less well encoded ones that when you look at it, it looks like there's a dark cloud of flies buzzing around! By the way, I need to confirm this, my DVD player is a PIONEER. It seems to be Region free. Another member also had the same brand and Region 2 plays without problems. Alternatively, try using your PC DVD drive. Mine is a SAMSUNG and it's region free. I suppose the safest way is to borrow a Region 2 disc and try it out before you buy the player.

    This is kinda out of the norm, I mean, usually May'n would release her new album sometime before her BIG concert but this time I can't seem to find anything (checked with my other sources also) - not even a hint of the title of the album - unless it's Mic-A-Mania! Maybe they want to surprise the audience but it can have an unresponsive effect - such as one I witnessed in Singapore during AFA 2009 where she introduced a few tracks from her Big Waaaaave album. The audience just stood there - passive. They just clapped when the song ended. I suppose a lot of them are trying to digest what they are hearing and can't decide whether they like it or not. When she revert back to her known songs, the audience behaved back to the likes that you usually see her videos.

    This one is somewhat late, like everyone else has posted already.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00J_Fn-tehQ

    Second promo for her 'Rock Your Beats' World Tour 2012, coming out on March 3 2013

    This just came in like 48 hrs ago (Thanks to Desmond and antibiotictab). This one really got me by surprise as this one landed practically in my backyard! I didn't manage to post this earlier as i was busy with Vanpang trying to arrange for other members of our Macross club and her fans to attend this event. While it's under Animax, but it's sponsored by our local cable network ASTRO which require the monthly bill as proof to participate in this event. (1 bill for 4 persons) The event looked like it's a meet and greet thingy (probably 1 to 2 pm), still it's a good chance for those that could not go to Singapore to see her in person and watch her perform live. I hope that it would 'blossom' into a full concert as she's already here! Would be a waste to for her to travel (6-7 hour's flight) all the way here, stay on stage for an hour or so and fly off....... Anyway, that's the topic for March 16th https://www.animax-asia.com/carnival2013my/guest

    Here's the full version of Ao zora (posted by fans), the ending theme of the anime BTOOOM! There's something about this song that got me listening to it over and over again. I guess this song will rank high among my favorite May'n slow numbers like 'Swan', 'If you wished for.....', 'Love, like falling stars' and the all time 'Diamond Crevasse' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKesZOUsRDc

    Well, she might, after all she came to the 30th Anniversary one in Tokyo May'n with 3D Sheryl http://s1320.beta.photobucket.com/user/jameswmc88/media/parco1_zps306c933d.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 May'n with 2D Sheryl http://s1320.beta.photobucket.com/user/jameswmc88/media/parco_zps6271ea97.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1

    Don't let that serious look and those dark glasses fool you. He's really friendly and honest in his answers. One of the media guys asked why does he always has his dark glasses on when his pictures are taken, it seems it's was his publicist's idea. Maybe to deter signature hunters........ : )
  12. VF25-F
    Nothing much going on. From her blog I gather May'n is taking a much needed break, which I don't think is very long cause her new album will be coming out, new songs to practice, new dance moves and of course her 2013 'Mic-A-Mania concert in Budokan to prepare for. Happy New Year 2013 everyone!.
  13. VF25-F
    Wow, someone was recognized! Go get the DVD/BD when it's available! It's one of those moments in life that you'll have fond memories off. Me. I'll get it because the tour didn't come to my region! Hope next year she'll drop by with the full concert!

    One of my friends posted this some 2 weeks ago but suddenly removed it from his site. Maybe he jumped the queue or something but thanks ALTMYK for posting this!

    Hmmm.....the hands flips out. I think I rather they slide out of their housing which makes it more practical in the real world. But I think in the long run, as a toy, the slide option might come loose and while in plane mode, a pair of hands might suddenly pop out!

    Ooops! Sorry! Toyoguchi it is! Megumi Toyoguchi! Thanks antibiotictab!
  17. VF25-F
    Ha ha ha, what I meant was the original Zetran Giant Klan2 and the Micronized one which was both voice by Megumi Yoyoguchi. Since she sang with both voices, it sounded like there were 2 different persons : )
  18. VF25-F
    I guess this is appropriate. Watch everyone sings - both Sheryls, Ranka, Klan2 & Klan2 and even Alto! plus a special guest! (posted by a fan) And Merry Christmas to everyone! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1Kppb3AfpU

    As this is the first post on this site, i thought we might take a trip down memory lane with a first also. Here's May'n with her first TV life appearance! She sure look really different back then.(voice and all)
  20. VF25-F
    Ok, it's out but under another heading (May'n - Galactic Fairy) as we thought that the current thread title is kinda out of date - May'n....2011. All new posts will go under the new header.

    Got the interview back, with some minor changes (really minor). Will be up soon! There was this PV (promotional video) about R.Y.B. world tour which is due to be out Jan 2013 posted for a short while (really short) before it was removed. Not sure why, maybe it's not the final version?

    Being the first time Horipro has set a booth in AFA, and able to meet May'n face to face and a handshake, we'll it was definitely good news for her fans (in previous cases, only those who won in a 'lucky draw' were able to do that, which some fans just can't seem to beat the odds). For many who are a first timer, it was an emotional moment! You can see their faces flushed red as the leave the stage. one almost stumbled off the stage. I could relate to that as my first two times meeting her was ...... kind of embarrassing. But till today, that feeling of my intestine churning still lingers. Sea*A (born of Maid café) looked tanned and really tired, more like zombies! They were at the Horipro’s booth to have their pix taken by a photographer, when suddenly the photographer said ‘Hang on, I’ve got the settings wrong!’ They closed their eyes to catch whatever little sleep they could. You could see eye bags on each of them. One particular girl (Winnie), I would say the cutest of the four, had puffy cheeks – last year! Now, it’s ….. let’s say not so puffy anymore. Then the photographer finally said ‘Ok, I’m ready!’ Immediately all of them were awake and smiling – in a flash. Poor girls. The price of being in showbiz. Who the hell said being an artist was fun? May'n though, was in better shape. Probably because she's more established and her ex-manager has to push the 4 girls because it's been 2 years now and they've not scored a notable achievement. When I earlier said it was good for Macross fans - able to see May'n many times was a plus and then another plus! Which is Macross PLUS! Director Shinichiro Watanabe was there and he spoke fondly about his experience working on it with Shoji Kawamori and Yoko Kanno. Vanpang has the story. (just finished submitting it for approval) Anyway, I'll leave you with Mr Super Future Star - Animax (posted by fans) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yue-G-A3jOY

    Clearly from the video of the LIVE concert in Singapore, the video game PV and during the interview (still waiting for approval), May'n voice has changed. Occasionally, it'll be husky when she hits a certain note, whether when she's singing or talking. Anyway, her next Mega Concert will be back in Budokan, 2nd March 2013 - MIC-A-MANIA
  24. VF25-F
    Well, no news yet from the PR section. Anyway, here's something interesting : This is from the Capcom game : EX Troopers and guess who's trying out the game!

    While waiting for the reply on the interview, here's some goodies. This event was organized by May'n company Horipro during AFA2012 Singapore. It include sketches and a song performance. You have to excuse the video tilting as I was trying to capture her footwear but was block by someone's head. The Merlion (half Lion and half Fish), is the symbol of Singapore. The Original one can be found at Marina bay. It faces towards the sea (Indonesia) and water comes pouring out of it mouth. But recently, there are some land fill projects and it now faces the new Marina Sands. MAYBANK, as u can see at the back ground is actually a Malaysian bank's branch in Singapore. Originally known as Malayan Banking Bhd, decided to change to a friendlier name - Maybank some 20 odd years ago. I suppose May'n picked up on that as it has M A Y on it. Anyway, the file was too big and it has to go in 2 parts
