[edit] Blood type

How is this artists blood type relevant to an encyclopedia article? -- Longhair 23:45, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't know... To whomever it may concern, I guess. Out of the small amount of information I have so far been able to get from her japanese website (yes, her website displays this), and taking into concideration that plenty of other artists' articles have similar information, I put it up. --Ifrit 07:09, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

I now made a little trivia section. Better? I don't think it is. The main part is so empty, it needs every bit of info it can get. Any hints on what I can put in there? --Ifrit 07:25, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes. The information on blood type, if it must be included at all, is more suited to a trivia section. The intro currently mentions her "third" single? Perhaps information on her earlier singles and her life before becoming an artist could be included? How popular is this artist in general? Why was her song chosen to be used as a theme for an anime series? How well did her music rank in music charts? There's a lot to be explored and written about if you can find reliable sources of information to base your research on. -- Longhair 21:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

As long as her site is in Japanese only, this will be difficult. --Ifrit 17:47, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

When japanese people list personal datas they always include Blood type. It's like the Zodiac sign. For example:

    Blood Type A: Calm, composed, level-headed people.  Firm character, reliable and trustworthy.
    Blood Type B: Curious and interested in everything.  Can be wishy-washy.  Will get interested and excited and get over things rather quickly.
    Blood Type O: Peaceful and Carefree.  Sets the mood when in groups.
    Blood Type AB: Sentimental people who care about other's feelings.  Can at times think about things too much.  Very Sensitive.

[edit] Movie?

"YUI will soon be honing her acting and singing skills in a new movie that will be released in April called Taiyo no Uta or in English, Sun's Song." added by 24.83.146.3 - 01:50, March 10, 2006 24.83.146.3.

Anyone have a source on this? If not, I'm tempted to delete it. --Ifrit 23:08, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

It's here: http://www.taiyonouta.jp/ (Japanese) --Karuikimochide 13:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

That site has some kind of error. The flash interface won't load here, even though flash is installed and working. Anyways, how reliable is this source? --Ifrit 04:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

That is official site of the movie "Taiyō no uta" (タイヨウのうた). There is a few more Japanese sources: Yahoo! Music News / Livedoor News / Livedoor Interview and Google search result for タイヨウのうた+YUI. --Karuikimochide 16:48, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Full name

I just saw that her full name is listed on www.imdb.com as Yui Yoshioka (Yoshioka Yui), anyone know the source of this? A quick google search only led me here. The Yui Yoshioka here is definitly not her. --Ifrit 16:30, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Several Japanese pages describe her real name (本名) as Yoshioka Yui (吉岡唯)."[1]. But I can't find out any evidence. --Karuikimochide 19:19, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] YUI's second bleach song

According to YUI's information page on her website, the song "Rolling star" will be the new Bleach anime opening. I believe this should be slipped in somewhere since it is likely that "Rolling star" will be her next single or signal the coming of her next album. On a side note, is it unprecedented for an artist to have two credit sequence songs for the same anime? Gdo01 05:21, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Not unpresedented, has happened many times in the past... I can think of several artists or group... for instance Akeboshi and FLOW for Naruto. --Ifrit 16:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Do As Infinity for Inuyasha, lots of songs in Detective Conan, L'Arc~en~Ciel for Full Metal Alchemist (series and movie), T.M.Revolution and Nami Tamaki for Gundam Seed, just to name a few more. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 21:56, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I was looking for other cases of this. Gdo01 01:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
