Maria bets on quantity to make herself known

New singer Maria, signed under Universal, is preparing the release of her second single which was announced barely two days after the release of her debut single..

Maria, a Jpop newcomer, that we introduced at the beginning of the month, has just announced the release of her new single.

It seems the young singer wants to get noticed with quick and numerous releases for Getaway, her debut single, has been available only since Wednesday. By the way, it did not have unanimous support, because it only ranked 35th when it was released and dropped out of the top 50 on the following day.

Goin' My Way is slated for a July 15 release and will be out in two editions (CD and CD+DVD) including two original songs, just like her first single. There will be Goin' My Way and a B-side titled Ichiban Hoshikatta Mono, as well as their instrumental versions.

Now let's hope Marai will succeed in being successful. Anyway, it seems the media are beginning to get interested in her. Indeed, she has a rather close relationship with Shoko Nakagawa that she calls sensei. The latter decided to take Maria under her wing for her future releases. This "sponsorship" is quite surprising, since Shokotan does not operate in the same musical universe as YUI and ayaka with whom Maria is always compared. Could Maria surprise everybody by releasing songs more varied than expected?

Pre-orders are available on CDJapan
