This it turning out to be a bit of a YUI special

Today, let’s watch another clip from Bokura no ongaku. This time YUI is collaborating with Bianco Nero to perform a cover of Michelle Branch’s song Goodbye to you. Bianco Nero is the band that gave YUI advice on how to pursue a music career. She met them at a street live after she had been in the hospital, where she had decided that she was going to be a singer/songwriter. (source)

I’m not all that familiar with the lyrics, but YUI ’s singing sounds a bit like pseudo-English

A couple of days ago I found some YUI videos that I had downloaded and forgotten about. It’s been a while since I took time to just sit down and watch lives and music shows. I’m once again struck by how good YUI is and how… I’m trying to find the English word for it… she performs her songs “perfectly” while making it look easy at the same time.

Here’s It’s happy line from Bokura no ongaku from 2005-04-08, almost exactly 4 years ago (has it really been that long?).

Today I was prompted to update my PS3 firmware to version 2.70. Every time I upgrade I try some video files I have on my harddrive that haven’t worked on the previous firmware. Many of these videos are seemingly correctly encoded DivX videos that the PS3 has refused to play. After this update it can play almost all DivX videos

There were some other new features too, but I don’t really care about them
