A Tumblr dedicated to posting romanised lyrics for songs that Fujita Maiko (藤田麻衣子) has written. Work-in-progress. No translations here.
Currently working on Futari no Kare.
Singing Wasurenai de. She also sang the Japanese version of Mulan's Reflection at the event.
The video was from a Youtube upload (not my own) but could no longer be found.

Okimasu Natsumi (violinist)'s profile indicates her performance at the event.
Notes: I remember distinctly that Maiko also had a duet with Amalia Neculaes for Hijo de la luna - and she confirmed it with her diary entry in August 2009 but am unable to find a copy of the video. She likely participated in the Little Mermaid cover of Under the Sea.
Amalia Neculaes sang a The Sound of Music medley at the event as well.
Other videos of the event are still on Youtube.

First was covered yesterday - the release of her new song, Only One at various digital music stores which was the theme song for Ikemen Sengoku’s 1st anniversary.
Second is the release of Kimi yo Susume (君よ進め) on July 20th. It is the image song for Apita Piago’s commercial. The commercial hasn’t been released. (The link leads to their English site that’s based in Hong Kong.)
Third and lastly is the one-day only live consisting of herself with members playing the violin and cello at Nagoya Blue Note on October 22.
New releases to look forward to! She had mentioned that’s she’s been recording and mixing some songs ww
Otomate Party’s Twitter announced that Maiko will be part of the artist lineup!
Other artistes that has been announced are love solfege feat. Marie (8/13 night performance, with Maiko), Yura Mari (8/14 day), Yoshioka Yui and mao (8/14 night)
It’s been such a while since she appeared (probably since 2011 or 2012?) and I’m so glad the Hiiro series is making an appeareance xD The franchise has been so quiet, I wonder if there’s anything planned?
Maiko is a big fan of musicals ever since she was a teenager. When she started to write songs at 20, her dream to perform with an orchestra has led her to Tokyo from Nagoya. This dream of hers has been mentioned countless times and finally, this dream of hers will come true on April 1, 2017 at Sumida Triphony Hall!
She announced this (no other details besides the date and venue) last night at her first 47 prefecture tour venue.
According to Sumida Triphony Hall’s Wikipedia entry, it has two auditoria, one main hall with 1801 seats and a small hall with 252 seats. Here is their website. More about their main hall here. (in Japanese)
Sumida Triphony Hall is also the home of the New Japan Philharmonic. But I can’t be sure if they will be the one performing with her xD
You can read her entry about the announcement here: http://ameblo.jp/maiko-fujita/entry-12152994266.html?timestamp=1461340410
Congratulations on Maiko’s 10th anniversary and to her dream of performing with an orchestra coming true!
