I recently discovered Japanese music poplet wannabe You Hayami. She's got a fairly juicy back catalog, especially her Debbie Gibson-esque manufactured pop hit Beat Lover.

I've never heard of her. I assume some fellow Japan and LD dorks here may know everything about her, including her cup size and blood type so I wanted to check on something. Namely, WHY IN GOD'S NAME DOES EVERYTHING BY YOU HAYAMI COST MORE THAN THE GDP OF CHINA? :crazy:

I was looking for a copy of Beat Lover on CD and a loose mini-CD single of it, no case, nothing, just some beat up old disc on it's own that looks like it was shot out of a cannon in to the sun and then sandblasted is on sale for ¥1000 starting bids. Then there's the Laserdiscs starting at ¥54122566999965466 opening bids!

Oh and not forgetting the sap on Rakuten who wants ¥965,000 for a CD-R copy of Beat Lover. You don't even get a badly printed injket cover and complete with faded Avery Dennison CD label where the inkjet cartridges have started to run out, they are emailed to you to print instead!

Anyway, bottom line is, everything this lady has ever done seems to cost TRILLIONS of Yen. I only wanted a fecking copy of Beat Lover. :(

Here's the song anyway. It's whopper.

That about sums it up. :lol:

The only people that can afford Yu Hayumi's stuff are heads of state and people who wear crowns. I'd say even Bezos and Musk would struggle to buy any of her stuff. :lol:

Holy s**t. Do you seriously use YouTube for free? I don’t use the music service ever but it comes with Premium which nixes all ads. I signed up the second they offered it.

Nothing is free, you are subjected to watching their ads and that's not free either.
I won't ever pay for youtube or any other company like this ever again.
Not worth it, they want to work for free, well they don't they get paid up down left and right and all around......

Try this. I don't think it's restricted?



So I did a little further research in to Beat Lover and it turns out that the lyrics were written by 森浩美 (is that Hiromi Mori?) who, if I have the name correct, also wrote a Japanese version of Toy Soldiers, of course originally by Martika!



Anyway that still doesn't change the fact that everything by Yu Hayami costs trillions and jillions. :(

Clearly you've had some kind of experience or something...or you woke up drunk.

I pay to remove the ads because I really really hate ads. Its the only time I've ever given my credit card number to Google for any service. Other than search, Youtube is the only service of theirs I use.

I don't really like Google very much to be honest, but without ads Youtube becomes the best thing on TV. I'm absolutely not talking about whatever stupid original programming they've decided to make either, I've never seen any of it.

That would be cool, I want to wake up drunk, how would you do that without drinking in your sleep?????
Its like a beavis and butthead deal.

I was able to find a video on youtube for FREE of this Beat Lover, fun but just that Debbie Gibson pop Japan style.

Western-Market pop idols such as Debbie Gibson and Paula Abdul effectively prepped me for 80's/90's Anime music,
indeed well before getting the opportunity to experience much of it...

It's not worth eleventeenjillion Yen or whatever it is that scalpers and blood type obsessed otaku dorks are asking for her stuff. Still want a copy of Beat Lover though... :(

Oh and I learned something brand new this week about those little 8cm mini CD's. When you buy them you are supposed to fold the packaging in half apparently. Never knew that! :crazy:

That was the original idea. They used to have easy to breakaway centers and slots and tabs so you could fold them up. They were only longer to stand up nice in 7” bins.

Few people actually did that though so eventually the art started to be designed around the full sized. I have a couple that actually have outer full sized jewel cases, sort of like widescreen ratio.
