Hi Comet.
I am almost convinced reading from you post that Hayley would come to Japan, finally. Judging from the new album with 4 new songs, her promotion tour will be done in Japan, I bet.

She hasn't been here for years. It will be soon a year since we had a big earthquake and the Tsunami. The release date 11 March 2012 is exactly one year since the devastation. We are still having problems and her visit to Japan would be something.

Regarding those original 4 songs, I will be finding them soon and let you know.

Best wishes.
Maya

That would be really nice of Hayley, Hope she is not busy in the UK around that time.

As Neil Diamond might say :

Walk on water, ain't it like her
She leads the children
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right

And ain't it wond'rous,
The way she does it
Gives love and loves it
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right

Many thanks for the alert Jillian! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

I didn't get the email but have ordered this CD - wonder what will be on the DVD?

Best wishes

2 Music videos one for I believe and another for one of the new songs XD

The temptation is too much, even though it is pricey. And even though I probably already have most of the tracks.

Yes, I got the email too!

Must go and place my order!

Sorry to say No, Comet.
I first thought that I'd better not to inform this to you and others. But I wanted to let you know that those 4 songs are all Japanese songs below.

Regarding the Youtube links, I dare selected videos that are not against our internal regulation. They are posted by the record company or TV shows posted by a viewer.

Original Japanese song / English meaning, Youtube link
"Asu to iu Hi ga” / ”Tomorrow will be”, www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYkqlu820PI&feature=fvst
"Ruriiro no Chikyu” / “The Earth coloured azure”, www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZHpvgSgMog
"Arigato ” / " Thakn you", www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zupb7xXgX8&ob=av2e
"Haru yo Koi " / "Come, spring”, www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmiI6oWreXQ

Best wishes.

Yay! Four new songs should keep us happy for a while. I bet the DVD will have a music video from one of the new songs.

I hope she tours Japan again, too.

I would love it if she did a special album for Taiwan & China! I really hope they do that someday!

Hello folks!

The album can also be pre-ordered at HMV.co.jp and Amazon.co.jp.

I'm hoping one or more of the sites will add a picture of the cover soon, then I'll post a link on our Facebook page.

Hi everyone,

A site here has what appears to be the tracklist. I Believe, Tsubomi, Amazing Grace and a Japanese version of World in Union appear to be on it.

This website also has details of the DVD. It has the content listed as: Amazing Grace, Tsubomi, Nemunoki and 'Tribute to Mom (unreleased footage). Thoughts? Would Amazing Grace be new?

Probably the duet with Ms Honda. But there are so many recordings of Hayley singing Amazing Grace.
