Last year, ⌈again⌋ was released, then the performance at Summer Fest, The release of ⌈It's all too much/Never say die⌋, etc. Thanks to the support of so many fans, YUI was able to work in a 'my pace' manner so to speak, We are truly grateful! Thank you very much!
In 2010, YUI and her music, Will hopefully become the origin of smiles for everyone, including us the staff members!
This year, let's spend it enjoyably too! We'll be in your care. (Yoroshiku onegaishimasu)

As a YUILover and also an amateur web designer, I have always been fascinated by how YUI's official website (referred to as YUI-net hereafter) is designed to keep out unwanted ripping. After managing to gain 'access' to YUI-net's system, I will now list all the security blocks currently working on YUI-net.
To start off, I must say the security blocks are very well done. A person with no knowledge of HTML/CSS will not be able to figure out just how Sony Japan create this miraculous website.
Security blocks:
#1 Masked web-forwarding. The URL, YUI-net.com, is in reality a secondary URL. I will not reveal the primary URL here as I want to keep it to myself.
Basically, for non-web-designers, masked web forwarding means a particular URL will redirect to a particular web page BUT the URL of the particular web page is 'masked', i.e. not shown.
In the case of YUI-net, http://yui-net.com/ will redirect to http://.../ (I'm not going to reveal it to protect Sony Japan - ironic much?) BUT the URL in the address bar will still be displayed as http://yui-net.com/
An example of masked web-forwarding in use is my secondary URL http://ping-gd.net/. Try clicking on a link and be amazed the URL in the address bar remain displayed as http://ping-gd.net/ Click here to see it in action.
#2 Hidden within and within and within another hosted folder. Sorry to disappoint but this is no adabracadabra trick. It's relatively simple - hide a particular hosted folder deep within a few others. Too bad my hosting agent won't let me try this, otherwise you will be confronted with a high-tech and professional-looking layout the next time you visit my website.
A neat little trick that is a must for this hiding technique is a 404 error page. To do this, create a 404 page, name it as index.html and place it within a hosted folder. The hosted folder will then be displayed as 'access denied' to all but clever you, who knows how to get around to this.
Although I can't go all Grande Desseins like Sony Japan, I can still throw around a few 404 error pages. To the retards who tried to steal the pictures on my blog, I present you this.
