First off the Matsuurian Forum has been moved to a new platform.
This had been indicated by the host company and it has finally happened.
The new URL is
http://matsuurian.fr.yuku.com/(though the old URL and links like matsuurian.x.am will redirect to the new address)
The important thing is that all members must login with a new temporary password which has been sent to the email you registered with way back when.
In case of any problems contact me at
abji@operamail.comAnd now to the fun part of this post
The Lyrics Database the Matsuurian had introduced a few months back has been extended and is called Songs Database now. It is also linked above.
It now includes all songs Aya has ever sung - on CD, on TV or in concerts, shows and musicals. Even commercials jingles are included!
All songs you ask? Well, it might be that there is a song or two in a FC event or smaller show that I don't know off but there can't be many - if any.
Furthermore all performances of the songs are presented at the bottom of each page.
And to make this even better there's a (LQ) mp3 for each and every song!
Okay, except for one - "Saa! Koibito ni Narou" which Aya sang together with Melon Kinenbi at the Last Melon Greeting. That one I don't have a fanrecording of. So if anyone has one.... :-)
The database is still a work in prgress as now I have to go hunting for translations (and in some cases even the kanji/romaji). You can see what's missing here. Again if you can contribute something here...
On top of the page in the left navigation bar you can choose between Aya's own songs and the covers (or both).
Often enough performances on TV mean only part of a song (sometimes just the refrain). The unsong lyrics are presented in dark grey in these cases. For songs Aya sings in an ensemble her solo lines are printed in bright yellow.
But I'm sure you'll figure everything out...
Have fun :-)
