YUI, JASMINE, Shota Shimizu(清水翔太) performed at "Live in the Dark" event

YUI, JASMINE, and Shota Shimizu(清水翔太) were chosen as Sony Walkman’s new “Play You” campaign representatives. The trio got a chance to perform on December 12th at the Ebisu Garden Room as a part of the campaign called the “Live in the Dark” event.

The concept for the event was “I want to hear more lucid sound“, and on that idea they held a special live event that occurred completely in the dark. YUI, Shimizu Shota, and JASMINE all performed on the dark stage for a small audience of 438 people, all randomly accepted from over 10,000 applicants. The lack of stage lighting and visuals allowed the excited fans a rare opportunity to focus entirely on the heart-felt singing from the three vocalists.

The first one up on stage for the night was JASMINE, who performed her new campaign song she wrote in New York, “ONE.” She commented, “A live in the dark is a new feeling, it’s fun,” as she captivated the audience with her vocals. The second performer on stage was Shimizu Shota. He performed his new song, “YOU&I,” along with “Kimi ga Kurasu Machi” and “Kimi ga Suki” in an acoustic style. Last on stage was YUI, who debuted her new project song, “Your Heaven“, that she wrote while in Sweden. She happily called out, “From now on let’s have fun at lives together,” as she finished up her act.

Footage from the campaign live will go up on the official “Play You” site on December 22nd. JASMINE has announced that she will be releasing a single version of “ONE” on February 2nd, and YUI will be releasing “Your Heaven” in January.
