Ah I didn't know anyone made a post for Niiyama Shiori! She's the woman I call my replacement YUI! Not that I mean it in a demeaning way but she sings with that "Umph" that Yui used to sing with. Her songs all lean towards melancholy so I'd like to see her try some upbeat songs and based on what I have read it seems she is getting ready for just that. PS That face she always makes in pictures is so cute (I f you want to know what face I'm talking about look at about 10 pictures of her and you'll understand)
