BLUE BIRD was changed sadly due to the track not being ready in time or something... (they could have just delayed the date imo)

I still feel like NEXT LEVEL is the track that didn't make it onto BLUE BIRD.

I doubt they would, 3 A-Side is epic.. just right for a 50th single :D

I don't see that happening...it's the 50th single.

I'm missing something, what happened with Blue bird? was beautiful fighters supposed to be an a-side too?

BLUE BIRD was supposed to be a 3A. It is not.

Oh really, why? I think they sound too much alike to have been on the same single but of course if that's true an earlier version would sound much different, maybe in a different key or something.

I could easily see next level being the third a-side on the blue bird single. It definitely doesn't fit in with next level, next to rollin', identity, rule, sparkle, energize, or disco-munication.

Maybe immature "JT CM Version" and WHATEVER -version J-can be included as b-sides too? xD
Maybe teen (acoustic version) as well.

Well I'm happy next level is on well next level. Its a nice start with bridge to the sky. Nice balance to the album.

Anyway I doubt they will change L. I'd be hard to imagine songs not being ready with all the recording she's been doing.

I hated sparkle video... But may be that was because lady dynamite wasn't still up
LOL. :P
Now it just seems like an oversexual vid... And it might be good, but with all due respect is also far from being art.

I hope ayu is preparing something outstanding and beautiful to celebrate these singles though :heart :luv2

I REALLY don't want another rock song. If she does another one to promote the 50th single I'm going to be so angry.

^And Im gonna get to be a really happy bunny. ;P

Actually I would love it if she did a new INSPIRE-ish single with one lovely up-beat pop song, one rock-ish song and then something else like a ballad or mid-temp song or something like that.

But yes, that is way to much to ask. ;)

Wasn't it also supposed to be called "B" or something like that? I remember reading that somewhere but I don't know if it's true or not.

I also wonder what became of that 3rd song. Did it end up on Secret? If so I wonder what song it was.


Well you know they like to announce stuff before she's even done recording or shot the jacket photos and you never know, something could suddenly come up that will cause them to make it a double a-side.

Well, us fans have already established that she can't do another ballad, no more rock, nothing Next Level-ish and no more typical pop!

So Ayu, whatcha gonna do? Jazz? Metal? Country? Not a lot of options left, but remember : SATISFY YOUR FANS OR WE'LL BE VEEEEERY ANGRY.

Please understand that this post is a joke. If you didn't, I fear for your sanity.

"B" is usually what I call the "single that never was" and NEXT LEVEL would be called BREEZE or breeze to fit in with Beautiful Fighters and BLUE BIRD, haha.

I'm with you, avex can make magic with the sales :yes

Thanks 4 the info, now i can understand :)

Woww, interesting, a single called B.
at least we have the pvs of BLUE BIRD, Beautiful Fighters and NEXT LEVEL

LOL

Wait, she can still do something like ourselves or Real Me... one of those R&B sounding songs she does once every blue moon that you can't really classify in a genre. :P Or maybe she can do 'choir in the street' music again... aka Bold & Delicious. XD

Really, I just want something great. Naturally I have my preferences, I loved to see a nice balance like & was... a rock track/a pop track/then the weird one you can't put in a genre. The third one will probably be a ballad though she honestly doesn't need another one as an a-side... like she has two already, save some for the album lol. But as long as the songs are good/great then all that stuff is secondary. :P

^As long as it isn't her singing "AND I I III WILLLL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU" I'm happy. :P

I will be kinda disappointed if she does another ballad for L, but she does ballads so well that I'd still be happy, as long as all three of the songs aren't ballads, that would kinda suck :P What I'd really like is something like & or }{... Perfect balance of songs (and I loved every one of them :heart), gorgeous covers, but this time with PV's :tipsy Omg that would be the best single ever for me :heart

I would love some typical pop or more ballads.. just anything that isn't rock! The Microphone remix made me realize just how much better she can do than rock songs.. it was a lot better than the original version.
