That could just mean that their singles really aren't all that "limited." Though I doubt that Avex would have knowingly moved her out of competition with Fukuyama just so she can go up against Kanjani8 instead (who would be harder to beat).

Still doubt she would stand a chance against Kanjani8, I don't think you can take sales of international online shops as an indication. But I thought Kanjani8's singles will be sold 1 week earlier?

We don't know if they will be part of the double week or not. Most likely though the double week will be Ayu's week plus the week after hers and not the week before.

My thoughts exactly :)

Oh thank you for the info!! :D

I want a HD ver. is an amazing pv, but we have to wait

i got an extra copy of both CD+DVD, coz i order them first at cdjapan, then i order 2 more at mumo for the extra free gifts.

i'm thinking of canceling one version from cdjapan

that was what I thought
combined week usually on last week which is ayu's week and the week after not a week before

I've just realized that release day isn't Wednesday O.o Then she is definitely going to debut at #1

Crystal_Ageha 14th December 2009 07:02 PM

Well, isn't that cheap, lol. At least her streak shall continue......

ayumisrael 14th December 2009 08:38 PM

^It's smart.

Max_ZZZ 14th December 2009 08:56 PM

^^ doesn't she need a special exception? lol otherwise wouldn't everyone do that
ex) Mirrorcle World was done a day early for her 10th anniversary

Seizuka 14th December 2009 09:04 PM

I can't wait for this single! I don't like "You were..." that much because it sounds generic and like a boring Mix of all her sad Winter Ballads:headache. But "BALLAD" is a georgous song and I love the mix of epic singing and the traditional asian Instruments, it sounds like a fusion between "GREEN" and "Part Of Me"!
The Covers are alright. Nothing special, but they are way better than the "Sunrise / Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~"-Covers :grumpy. The basic idea of the "You Were..."-PV is very cool. I like the whole Image with the weird couple, the hand puppet, the Trees made of Paper (I don't know how to descrice it in a better way, I think you'll get what I mean) and the dress made of a chain of lights - But the assembly is very dissapointing.
The weird couple looks like dancers from Lady Gaga :(. They are way TOO futuristic and ruin the beautiful atmosphere, even though I like the scene with the shining stone.
The idea of the hand puppet is very cute and creative, but you can only see the puppet during the opening of the PV. I have the sense that they just used the puppet as a filler for the opening Blank stare.
The "BALLAD"-PV is better. The Background-Story is very touching and Shu Ya is a great actor. Even though I hate Ayu's pink dress, the scenery is very beautiful :love.

^ she's probably reached the point where she can get away with murder.
