Some rumors are saying that YUI is doing secret lives under a band named “E.U band“.

E.U. (Spell it in English)
イーユー
U.E. (Spell it in English)
ユーイー
YUI !

E.U. is in fact YUI in reverse. Also E.U band is credits in the again booklet.

They apparently performed twice in live house with this Set list:

1. Laugh away
2. 雨上がりの夜空に
3. Rolling star
4. I’ll be
5. Love is all
6. again
7. Sea

In this band the drummer is replaced by the girl drummer saw in Rolling Star, I’ll be and again.

Will YUI (E.U. band) perform this set list at ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2009 ?? Mystery…

Utada Hikaru: New Single on June 27th?!

As you know, Utada has been chosen to sing the main theme of Evangelion 2.0 film and it seems her “new song” (title still unknown) will be unveiled the same day as the movie, on June 27th, 2009.

With her U.S album and 2 weeks before the release we doubt about a new song…

No more details…
