Credit to depyon from YUI-lover forums for the translation. This announcement was posted on YUI’s official website earlier yesterday. The title of the album is a reference to The Beatles’ song ‘Yesterday’, obviously, as YUI admits to being a huge fan of them. And now, for the grand unveiling of covers! Drum roooolll…
She is sitting in a box! In horrible, horrible make-up that can be seen in the picture way above. The boxes apparently signify the ‘layers’ of safety around YUI, how she had always been sheltered, but now she’s stepping out of it so she can become more independent! Or maybe it’s a pictorisation of the expression ‘thinking out of the box’ or so, I wouldn’t know really.
Credit for the large covers to cLam of YUI-lover forums. And thanks to shuzzack from Jpopmusic forums for the even larger covers! And now for the tracklist!!

Live clips from YUI’s live at Budokan on 2007.11.19
HALLELUJAH! NO ‘UNDERSTAND’!
I was really, really looking forward to this album… until Laugh Away showed up. Yes, it was catchy in the beginning, but now it’s growing old on me very quickly. And now that picture with horribly un-YUIish make-up. Why is Sony Records commercialising YUI so much? She was never meant to be like those super-fake-looking diva-come-singers out there, so why this ‘change’? Do. Not. Want.
I don’t know if I want to hear this album so much anymore. Bah, I’m so possessive it’s almost scary lol.

Regardless of any lack of YUI-ness, I am in extreme anticipation of this album. I love the covers (don’t see all the makeup…), and I’m really excited about all of the tracks. Also, I’m still not tired of Laugh away. Very refreshing. I hope she keeps the more natural style for her album tracks.
Comment by Nick March 17, 2008 @ 3:37 am^ Haha, I’m just very difficult to please I suppose. I am waiting for this album, but not madly like I did for CBML. Still, I do hope that it’s a great album nonetheless~!
Comment by isshi March 18, 2008 @ 5:43 pmWell I think I rather liked this album, although I agree that the style is different from the previous ones. Perhaps its because of the movie she starred in that made sony records commercialize her so much?I dunno…Particularly liked find me, love and truth as well as my generation; not much for laugh away though<.<
Comment by Michi June 16, 2008 @ 2:28 pmBut I actually quite liked the cover^^
