It BETTER be BETTER than "glitter / fated" xD

has anyone noticed how ALL avex lineup are releasing in september? and most of the singles (if not all) are love ballads themed..

avex is going to pawn september cuz they are afraid of Ayaka's FF song

^Though it's not the same chart.

huh?

Awesome news! Can't wait! :D

this is great!!

thanks for the info! =)

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh hhhhh
I was hoping for listen something like this one. I want a strong and damn good title for the new song.

I hope the rumored title "Love Punishments / BEAT" became true. Thanks for the info. <3

I'd be very happy with a winter album, but that sounds good too. Ayu and her people should definitely think of something special for the anniversary.

I agree with you. I can't imagine what Ayu will do in the next year. I'm stuck on glitter / fated again.

Yay Ayu, there are some proof of my love to you. :love

You and fanmail posted your posts exactly before mine, I meant to the message before ^_^

She could use sifow's Kimi to Sora arrangement and melody, but make up her own lyrics. I'm sure that would bring sifow some fame as well. :P

Um, Natsumono and glitter/fated are both singles.

OMG, I totally forgot about CLAP & LOVE and Why. Oh phew, September 5.
If the number one spots go to Hikki-ayaka-Kumiko-Ayumi, I'll be in heaven. Just like I would have been in heaven (a little pun inteded) during 2005 with GLAMOROUS SKY-HEAVEN-PLANETARIUM-Be My Last.


OH ANYWAY, the news is great! wonderful! mindblowing! etc etc.
A rock song that suits a chic outfit like the one in the Panasonic CM is a rock song I can't wait to hear. :x

notice that Clap & love/why will be released september 5, but Why/clap & love will be released september 12

cool, I hope it will be a single like GAME or a bit like About You, I want sth rockish

that's VERY fast, if it goes like that we will have a new original album soon

Ku and Namie were in 2 different charts. ayu and AAA are both releasing in the singles chart twice. That's what I mean. I just want AAA to finally have a #1 single. God knows they deserve one with the amount of work they do

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I seen now. The new BoA's single will be released in the same day of her new single.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
BoA will lose a lot of sales because it. :innocent

Sorry for the BoA fans, but I feel that the new single will be sucks than the Ayu release one.

Whoa... Ayu is releasing the same day as Boa? Lol what is Avex thinking... Boa's sales will suffer..

Thanks for the news ! wow !

Yay!
new single! I aklways wanted to see a september release!!!
yay it's also released 6 days after my b-day so i can order it

YES!
HALLEJUAH!
ROCK ROCK ROCK!
this made my day!

So? I'm just saying that it's not like: OMG! THEY RELEASED ON THE SAME DAY!
Cause it's not that special :D

I would love to hear what the title is for the single!
Do you think it will be 2 songs?

according to Tower Records
the Panasonic CM song is a high energy rock song

Thanks for the news; this is very exciting! I hope it'll be an alterna-style rock tune--those are my favorite kind!

As for the competition with BoA, it can't really be helped, right? I don't think BoA will do badly; she just won't get #1 XD

YEEAH! ROCK!
I :heart THAT!!!!!!! :yes

Arigatou for the info!

ayu's rock songs owns.

Oh my god, I'm anxious. I hope that this song one won't be like 1 LOVE, I want more & more!

they're always double a-sides

Thanks for sharing! I can't wait for this, especially about two months after the 41st single released...

Finally, a ROCK single!Oh and I have HI hopes for LOVE LETTER!And jeez September is gonna be really interesting, Hitomi is releasing SHINKU the next week, and XD Jade is releasing a new album as well.I wonder why is everyone releasing stuff from 19 - 26.9 XD.

YAAAAY I'm so excited that it's a rock-ish type song! I hope it'll be great!!!

If anyone's release date gets changed, I bet it'll be BoA's. Of course they'd want Ayu's release right after Koda Kumi's. At least then Kumi will only have had a few days head start and Ayu can step in and sell more copies of her single. :D And by releasing their two biggest stars one right after another, Avex gets more money quicker.

thanks for the news, Rock songs are always welcome in my music library =D

That would make a lot of sense actually. That way her 9th studio album plus her 10th anniversary can be tied into one huge deal! I'd rather she not rush to put out an album by December anyways.

And I believe I Am... came out in January. Originally scheduled for December, but got pushed back.

So I wonder if she will finally change her hairstyle to suit this new rock-ish single? Something shorter or darker! I sure hope so!

Rock again?? I think this style doesn´t help ayu to gain popularity again >.<
She should do st like... "back to origins"..

If there are types of singles that help ayu I think that those are rock and ballad singles XD.

i think that will be what the single will contain.

i'm quite excited for this, now knowing that the A-side is a rock song in comparison to the usual ballad! i can't wait! :)

Not necessarily...remember that her last September single, "HEAVEN" in 2005 was just a single A-side.

^ rock-ish pop single usually double a-side..i think
Startin/Born to be
STEP you/is this LOVE

Hehe, got the cdjapan artist news mail today, and I immediately checked if it was already posted here, but there were already 3 pages in this topic at that moment, so someone was before me ;p
I'm very excited that she's releasing so quickly, since we had to wait a year between BLUE BIRD and gitter/fated. Now let's hope that the Asia Tour dvd will be shortly out after the single!

Glad we're getting a new single so soon. I'm so excited :D

cool... but i don't like hearing news that just isn't complete yet... like... i must know the title XD ooo i'm so excited! aaaaaah another long waiting for what it'll be like... a rock tune! excellent!

o and thanks!

wow, new single in about 2 months, then let it be the next ayu great creation coming to our live once more, hope it would be another consecutive #1 single
ayu rocks, ganbatte!!

i'd want at least 3 singles for this album.

SM might force avex to.

I wonder if any Johnny's will do any releasing (Particularly KinKi and NEWS since they both already have songs ready)

"January 1st" releases like I am... and (miss)understood are usually not truly released on 1/1/XX. They're usually released during the last week of December, for Oricon counting reasons, or something.

woo~
I can't wait !!!
so maybe we'll have an album in december? or around january?

If it's true, i'll be the happiest girl ever! I hope it's a really good song!

Wow, so fast, and a rock tune finally, can't wait for something dramatic having to do with her breakup!

I can't imagine a 'rock tune' as a single A-side. Especially one like alterna or 1LOVE. I'm imagining 'rock' like evolution or UNITE!.

But I have a feeling it will end up a double A-side in the end.

I hope there's a B-side instead though, and some remixes would be nice.

^but it would be so awesome if a song like alterna, About You, or 1 LOVE was the actual song
i would be so happy

YAY! Love the news.. and of course it fits with the Panasonic cm that leaked not too long ago.

ayu is on the roll! i can't wait!! thanks for the official news =)

Ooo yay! I hope to see a rock song on this single. >_<

Apparently, the main track is a rock song. Tower Records states that it's a "powerful and charming rock tune." So, woo!

Makes it better.

aw, poor BoA.

So when will the album come out if she's going to release another winter ballad? Maybe a New Year's release like (m)u?

Nice surprise. But I prefer albums...anyway GOGO AYU!


Im so sorry BoA...

hahaha BoA.. she doesn't sell too well nowadays -_-

I thought a same thing.

And as for Johnny's: Arashi will release their new single on September 5th (info by yatsuda in the official Arashi thread). Haven't heard about others, though.

yeah i want that too *-*!

i love so much ayu dark's side <3

btw thanks for the info

I'm really excited for her next single! I hope it's a double A-side :D
A dark rock song would be awesome!

It'll be interesting seeing Ayu and BoA.

Ayu will beat BoA into the ground. http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z.../zekaemote.gif

http://www.jbook.co.jp/p/p.aspx/3408800/s

jbook reports 3 "versions" or as avex likes to say, "three tracks" on the single.

I for one think she'll change it soon, but.. I dunno. It's anyone's guess.

thanks for the news

Meaning only one A-side, probably a remix and an instrumental?

OH CLAP. And I just read that ARASHI will be releasing on September 5.
Well I'm pretty sure that if Warner has two separate release dates for two separate versions, they're not that interested in a high position, they want steady sales. Which is, at the end of the day, exactly what I want. :D I sure hope that that FF tie-in and that drama tie-in make both formats sell at least 200k combined.

Well, it is if you're a fan of Ayumi & AAA or Ayumi & BoA or something.

great news! i hope there will be a november/december single as well!

I can't wait! 19th of September is almost 6 weeks away! :love

I think we get an Mini Album after this^^

I find that highly unlikely. I think she'll probably try for a full album after the 9/19 single.

I really wanna know the title of the song(s)

^ FROG FACE c/w perfection.

Uhm... Are You Joking?
I mean... FROG FACE?

^ Are You Wake Up?

(yes, I am joking. Yes, I am prepared for these posts to get deleted, since they probably will. lolz.)

But serious: I mean... If it was true what you said and FROG FACE really would be a rock song...

That's just weird. Then I guess the Panasonic CM must be green, right?

AND AYU WOULD BE A FROG. IT'D BE PERFECT.

Lol!

Question: If this news is official, how come nothing is on the Official Site of Ayu?

They haven't gotten around to updating it yet.

If it's on Tower records site and for pre-order on CDJapan that it's official.
The Official site updates it later after few days sometimes even weeks.

I see... thank you!

Yay I'm so excited for the new single!! But geez I wish this one would have a first press bonus, a poster or something. Oh well it's the music and the videos that count so I can't wait for those!

Haha the whole BoA thing. I remember back in the day when people thought BoA was/would become Ayu's biggest rival.. So much for that eh? Oh well they can change her release date if they want, but I mean.. Changing the release date because she can't beat Ayu for #1 seems weird for me. Doesn't being #1 mean you can beat out all other competition? I know avex have strategically placed some of Ayu's singles on certain dates to avoid heavy competition but she's also had to face fierce competition too and bet them. Imo if BoA wants #1 on any week including an Ayu week then she should get right.. Besides, the chances of her getting #1 singles nowadays aren't the greatest anyway

ayumi will be number 1. boA can't beat ayumi with single sales

Omg...fast fast! yay cant wait!

Six weeks is pretty far away buddy.... O_o

I want a dark rock song too! Something like GAME with a vocoder and such!!

A rock song makes me happy. :luv2 I love Ayu's rock songs. Can't wait to see the CM now, to hear the preview. Thanks for the info, I can't wait!

well seeing as glitter/fated leaked around a month in advance, we might not have to wait that long :)

oh myyy!!
I wonder what it will be called?

:D

Official sites are usually the last place you find info for Ayu and stuff. :\


But other avex artists, they just reveal it on the site when they are able to leak the info. :|

Ahahah it took me three days to notice this thread. :laugh

But yay! Rock song! I hope it has a rockin' title.

I should've posted this little speal here, but I guess I clicked the wrong link or something. LOL

You know, looking at the J-book entry for the new single, and the one for BLUE BIRD.. I wonder..

It's odd how there's no number in front of "version".. [but the kanji for number is.]

^Triple A?

No.

Otherwise they'd be advertising it as such. The single will likely contain three main tracks [not necessarily all new songs, so don't jump to conclusions.] and will probably total an X number of tracks [with remixes/instrumentals.]

^ that would make my year. :)

OMG! it's on YesAsia

:scry :scry x100000000000

I want it! Otherwise, i die :dead (then I'll bet you party, huh?)
