News round up 24/02/2011

2011 ‘You Can’t Catch Me’ Tour Goods Announced
From the traditional pamphlet and t-shirts to the more niche YCCM bus tin of cookies, this year’s tour has some very nice pieces of merchandise up for grabs. Available at the concert and through the official IDS website, you too can have your own piece of Maaya Sakamoto memorabilia! Take a look at the goods here (PDF). I quite like the look of the t-shirts myself.

Final part of the ‘April Fool’ documentary on air
The last part of the journey from demo to polished track is now streaming on the special ‘WORKS BEST ~beautiful songs to remember~’ special page here. It’s all come together and now all we have to do is wait for the release later in the year. The song was also aired in full on a radio broadcast available in Japan in the past week.

DOWN TOWN/Yasashisa ni tsutsumaretara Lyrics Translated
Frecklegirl has provided the English-language community with her ever wonderful translations of Maaya’s last single here.

‘from everywhere’ goes on sale

Maaya’s new essay went on sale on Monday and is currently sitting at number 41 on the Amazon.co.jp bestsellers list – very nice! Maaya’s official homepage also posted up a blurb on the book by Maaya on the release day which deltafour has translated over at his site here. Looking forward to reading it!
