what new single so soon ? Her new single haven't been released yet but oh whatever lol

it can be good or bad thing but I see your point in this

Yiaiyaiyaia.. NEW SINGLE.. but I'm affraid if that's her last single and going retire

I hope not

even if she wants to retire , she should do it properly with a best album & not with a single

wow, i wasn't expecting a new single already, but i'm still happy :P

^I am too,
But still.
This is not cool. I DON'T want her to retire. She can't retire.
She's got so much talent. I'll seriously cry if she retires.
Although, her CD's are seeing a nice bounce for this, no?

I was expecting she would release single then followed by 3rd album then BEST album and retiring

I don't know it's hard to say

but until then , enjoy 夢を味方に/恋焦がれて見た夢 , it's already leaked out - http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88835

Yay I finally listened to the single leak for the first time and I love Yume wo Mikata ni <3 I find Koi Kogarete Mita Yuma abit boring though, lol. Maybe it'll grow on me.

I'm actually quite shocked that it has leaked out so early considering that it wouldn't be out til next week

but oh well it doesn't matter lol :laugh

I'm totally agree! However I think if she continue to release now I don't think she'll retire! Ayaka'll sing lika Ayu namely until the end or until she'll be pregnant maybe!

I' gla she releas a new single.

Tokyograph mentioned ayaka on the charts in an article:

it's from iTunes Store, they have it week earlier.

oh really ? I didn't know that

I like the live version of Kimi ga Iru Kara

it's scary that she sounds the same be it on CD or live , it's unbelievable

you don't often see that happening with artistes at all

^I know, right? That's what I love about her!

:yes

the only other artiste that I can think of that sounds the same be it live or on CD is Ken Hirai

& Kobukuro too

Does anyone have the translations to her album Sing to the Sky? It's been a while, and I really want to understand those lyrics. ^_^

ayaka will be performing next Fri at MUSIC STATION

http://pic.ipicture.ru/uploads/090416/if1hiXm3N8.jpg

I'm surprised to see Wang Lee Hom on the list :O

If you talk about the name next to "SLOW TIME", that's Tamaki Hiroshi :P
But yeah, their names in Kanji look alike =/

:dead2

OOPS , for a moment there I thought Wang Lee Hom was going to be performing at MUSIC STATION :roflmao

but yeah Tamaki Hiroshi's name looked a bit similar to Wang Lee Hom's :O

I want to see the live^O^

didn't know that TOHOSHINKI's releasing their single next week hmm :O

which one is ayaka? i can't read japanese :laugh

uhm.. no ayaka there

maybe it's because her single is out on the 29th, and not next week? lol.

Guys, ayaka is at #4 :laugh

girls , ayaka's name's at #4

you know the amount that's stated 38.80

you know up to now , I have no idea how to recall the full title of her new double a-side even though it will be out next Wed :dead2

I just said Yume .... :laugh , I know it's BAD sorry T_T

:yes

Okay I just realised my limited edition of the single is in shipping process on CDjapan already <3 This means I'm more or less going to get it on the release date itself, yay!

EDIT: Wow and it's even Out of Print already. Thank god I preordered earlier.

wah really Travis ? O_O

*goes to CDJapan's site to check* - http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=WPCL-10679

I hope the bonus sticker wouldn't suck , design wise

oh.. her name is using kanji.. i thought "ayaka" :laugh
it's Yume wo Mikata ni / Koi Kogarete Mita Yume *thanks to my kanji program :P*

:laugh

her name's pronounced as 'shuen xiang' in Chinese

I didn't know her chinese name Oo

But it won't help me I can't read/write/speak chinese -_-'

I can't believe there are so many people above her...
I can see Tohoshinki...
But who are the others? (I can't read any Kanji and only recognize my favorite artist's Japanese names...)

I tot she release the singer on 29... LOL

it's very low NINKI. Hopefully she'll kill Toho

Yeah riozz is right! Ayaka'll be NO.1

Why is she so good?!?! Seriously, it boggles my mind every time I listen to her new material. I love her so so much. <3

02. Yuzu - Two guy rock band
03. Stereopony - Three girl rock/pop band

Kinda surprised Stereopony is higher than ayaka.

Because her voice is fabulous! :innocent

:roflmao

oh yes definitely

I'm listening to Yume wo Mikata ni that's currently playing on air at my local chinese radio station :luv2

I'm surprised that the 2 DJs didn't said her name in Chinese hmm

You have a local chinese radio??Oo

It's so cool. I'm so jaleous. If I want to listen to the radio I must listen to it on Internet!

lol yeah there're a few local chinese radio stations here in my country but they don't play kpop let alone jpop that often :(

like for last night , there's an hour segment dedicating to the latest top5 j/kpop hits & they go according to every week's Oricon singles chart

eg. this week Koda Kumi's faraway & Tsuyoshi's Sora ~ Utsukushi ware no Sora were played last night cos they were at #4 & #1 respectively

I was hoping that they would play BREAKERZ cos they were at #2 but nope :( :grumpy

you're really lucky!!

If BREAKERZ was #2 I think they'd play it!

It's probably due to copyright issues or something since BREAKERZ's under ZAIN RECORDS & YES 933FM (the name of the radio station) might have problems to get some license or something to play their tune

they don't have any problems with ayaka & Tsuyoshi since their material's distributed/released via Warner & Universal here

wah, STTS still on top 40 daily
46 40 42 37 -- 42↑38　絢香 「Sing to the Sky」
but it still couldnt outsell her rival who release on same day
36 -- -- -- 47 39↑30　GReeeeN 「あっ、ども。おひさしぶりです。」

I just realised something

any word on whether Koi Kogarete Mita Yume has gotten a PV or no at all ?

As far as I know nope, she doesn't have a PV for that. Maybe she's too busy and doesn't have the time... lol

hmm ok thanks for that Travis

so this will be the 1st time that she didn't made a PV for both singles pertaining to a double a-side release

rats

ayaka debuted at #5 on the 1st day - http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/

*****s its very low

43　84　**2,180　*,596,150　41　絢香 「Sing to the Sky」
72　148　**1,445　1,193,569　117　絢香 「First Message」

STTS will pass 600K for sure.. I'm very glad

Not a bad debut. :yes
I have faith she'll rise higher

I will update that with regards to her wikipedia

hopefully so , O_O at TOHOSHINKI's 1st day sales

#5 is okay :yes i'm sure it'll do better.

thanks, Karen

I thought with her marriage news and disease would boost her sales like FM and STTS did.

it will not sell as well as Anata to did

aim higher ayaka!!! Kill DBSK!!

well it did helped her album sales but single wise , not that much I guess

:roflmao

ayaka is still at #5 today :)

I got my limited edition of the single today and the sticker was disappointing LMAO. It's an "ayaka calendar" from Apr 2009 ~ Mar 2010. I will post pictures later.

I just read that Ayaka has been diagnosed with Grave's disease. I'm so sorry :(

it's hard for Ayaka to sell 50K in 1st week

yes but at least it will be another top10 hit for her

^ thanks Travis

so the 'sticker' is a mini pocket calendar of sorts -_-'''

thanks, Travis.
the calender is cute. I thought it would have Ayaka's face inside

Thanks for pics.

I thought like you riozz. It would be good if Ayaka's pics would be in the calendar. It's disappointed

I know

I wouldn't expect it's actually a mini calendar of sorts -_-'''

Well if you didn't have a calendar before, you do now.

yeah pocket/sticker size somemore go figure

-_-'''

A queston've just spreat my mind! has Ayaka never done a calendar like Ayu, koda kumi and so on?

she did

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/list_from_c...ODS&key=381670

but all are out of print on CDJapan

LOL@the calendars.

:love I would like to see pics from them!!!
Do you know some website where I can find them?

I remembered some of this year's calendar pics were uploaded in the previous thread & I managed to dig the link up for you earlier on when I searched in the previous thread - http://rikayla.livejournal.com/313593.html

thank you very much Karen. Ayaka is so cute on these pics!!!

Thanks for the info, the eye.

Also she performed on CDTV on April 26th (today). :)

That's 5 performances so far, including Music Station. :D

I want to see te performance at CDTV!!^^.
I hope we'll have it soon

any clue as to what she performed at CDTV ?

i'm guessing yume no mikata ni? :laugh

lol yeah I supposed so

^ It's ok Karen. lol

WINDING ROAD back to the chart again

89　*72　**1,208　1,194,777　118　絢香 「First Message」

go FM.. almost 1,2 million and STTS 600K

it's like STTS sold half from FM> LOL

:thud

amazing on what a little bit of marriage news can do to your sales damn

WINDING ROAD? o.O woah

STTS really didn't have a hit song like FM did with Mikazuki.

Guys, is that true that she is releaseing another single in July?

^ yes, she is.

yeah, STTS doesnt have a big hit like Mikazuki,
I think big hits for STTS is Anata to and Okaeri

:yes

& it's said to be titled Minna Sora no Shita & that it will be out on 8th July

We already have the title? Is itthe official one?

it looks like it

cos I remembered someone posted about the title a few posts back , I forgot who it was though oops

I wait for CDJapan to send me an email update on this

ok.

Don' forget to say it^^

So what Ayu should learn from ayaka is to get married so her sales will all rise up!

Lol jk xD

LOL :laugh

sorry I think that move will backfire :no

My God! WINDING ROAD charting again!? WOW.

Ayu needs a boyfriend first, lol.

^ :yes and as hot as HIRO :laugh

no she's not dying . She has Grave's Disease which's a type of thyroid condition

it's curable I believe if the symptons are detected early
