After seeing some people at 2ch mention it, I wonder if they'll switch out the "Christmas card" extra for those who purchase it at mu-mo, since the switch to the 29th makes it completely useless, haha. Perhaps it's proof that there was no intention on moving the single to a later date... but then again, they could make it into a New Year's card or something, right?

SunshineSlayer 21st November 2009 08:03 AM
^ Yeah, that is pretty much further proof. I didn't know about the Christmas card thing; that would have been cool.

We don't know yet. FNS site is adding artists one by one. Tohoshinki were added this morning for example. I think Ayu will be announced soon, just check the site from time to time XD

yuki_unmei 21st November 2009 08:14 AM
FNS is the same thing as Kouhaku right?

SunshineSlayer 21st November 2009 08:47 AM
^ No. Totally different. There are several end of the year shows in Japan. FNS is one of the major ones.

Yoake 21st November 2009 09:24 AM
omg the covers are really nice but she is weird on the promo pic O.o

Like B'z didn't exactly need Buzzer Beat for Ichibu to Zenbu to sell well; it would have anyways. But having a successful drama tied with it made it sell even better. Same thing with Ayu probably. Everything else I agree with though. Still though, Ayu having a major tie in for once would be nice. Dandy Daddy though not a huge hit drama was at least a step in that direction. It didn't seem to have a positive effect on her physical sales though maybe it is what helped drive the digital sales.
No no no, you got it wrong, I meant that it seems that major tie-ins are usually (and mostly) the dramas featuring the JE people :) (and I mean no disrespect)

Considering that B'z's 2008 singles couldn't clear 200k either and that their last album barely sold 320k, I'd say yes the song needed a tie-in, else I really doubt it would sell close to the amounts it did. Sure I'd like seeing Ayu get a tie-in like that someday :)

I used B'z as an example because you said Ayu didn't need a tie in to sell well. B'z single sales last year are comprable to Ayu's - in fact they only had one single last year and it just barely outsold Ayu's last year. So if Ayu's non tied in drama singles are considered selling well enough, then B'z sales as well should also be considered selling well enough is what I mean. :) But just like many artists that don't need a tie in to sell well, the tie in - if good - can make it sell a lot more. Don't know if how I just explained it made any sense though.

Yes I know and that was exactly what I was trying to say. They didn't sell just well with a tie-in, but extraordinary well :p - considering they were selling as much as Ayu in 2008 :) I wasn't trying to imply B'z wasn't selling well without tie-ins if thats what you meant :)

KarenPang 21st November 2009 12:53 PM
Both A-sides for B'z's Ichibu to Zenbu / DIVE single had really strong tie in's which contributed to the extraordinary sales which it obtained despite the fact that it was only sold in 1 edition

like Ichibu to Zenbu was used to promote Buzzer Beat while for DIVE , it was used to promote Suzuki's Swift compact car

MY LONELY TOWN was released in 2 editions but it's struggling to cross the 250K mark D:

maybe avex should ask Vermillion Records for advise to get better tie in's for ayumi

Only if they beg their parents will they get the cd and even then, most children are more likely to beg their parents for a Tinkerbell doll or something I think. :)
there are many teenagers that really love Tinkerbell, and are really looking forward to the movie too, as weird as it could sound. It's a movie for children in America, but many people especially girls who are gyals, really really love tinkerbell, and will go to watch the movie about it.

anyways, they said that you were... is the song of the image of the movie, so I think it will be in new trailers and such. we should get the trailers soon.

behwatch 21st November 2009 02:12 PM
Hey I think the first press edition includes a free kisaeke keitai theme download.

i thought that one is confirm is a changeable cover?no?

behwatch 21st November 2009 02:48 PM
sorry my mistake for my poor japanese language. Its a changeable cover lol. I tot the word kisekae links to keitai only. Anyway haha this time the cover is really good and Both songs are used in movie and drama!

love in music 21st November 2009 03:57 PM
i want them to change her official site layout already. then we can get HQ pics of the covers and nobody will have to deal with seeing the HQ s/s pics on her website anymore

^ Yeah, yeah that's what I meant. I interpreted your post as meaning that B'z sales were only good with tie ins.

waterballoon 21st November 2009 05:50 PM
Well, whatever the case is, we can't deny Ayu has some really sucky tie-ins lol

waterballoon 21st November 2009 05:56 PM
but well we don't know how well tinkerbell's gonna be... I hope it'll be a good tie-in seeing how it's a family-movie and all, but yeah we shall see. I don't really care about the tie-ins though... just good songs and PVs please, we already have gorgeous covers!

koumori 21st November 2009 06:06 PM
^ Yeah..I pre-ordered based on covers only for the first time everr. I hope she makes this worth it XD

This~--Whyyyyyy do they give all the major tie-ins to bands who really don't need it, lol?? D': Meh. Whatever.


About Tinkerbell... At first I was so excited, because I figured this would be one of Ayu's biggest tie-ins in forever...but the more I think about it, the less useful this tie-in becomes. DDD: Guess we'll just have to see what comes of it.

polka-dot-jewel 21st November 2009 06:36 PM
According to various websites, Disney mentioned "...the only icon suitable for this collaboration, and whom shares fame like Tinkerbell, is none other than Ayu." Tinkerbell is a very popular character around the world, and even stamps of Tinkerbell and other Disney Fairies were issued in Japan a few years ago.

I wonder if Disney Channel Japan will play the "You were..." video. They tend to overplay their videos, so if they do decide to air the PV, that'll definitely be a lot of exposure right there. Plus, Disney Channel (in both the US and Japan, at least) always air specials and CMs and such about upcoming TV movies, DVD releases, etc., so I wouldn't be surprised if Ayu appears in a few of those regarding this movie. Goodness knows Disney Channel in the US played MANY specials on this Disney movie, plus the theme song's video, a lot.

Polyrhythm 21st November 2009 07:11 PM
Disney films have been crap recently. What's everyone so excited about. *shrug* It looks like another crappy tie in to me.

aura~ 21st November 2009 07:27 PM
Sometimes I think that Ayu is who helps this products XDD Even more with this drama that doesn't seems to be really popular.. is like Ayu is gonna help them and not viceversa xDD I don't know if I have explained it well tough...

ayumisrael 21st November 2009 07:35 PM
Yes I completely understand you. ^^

It's seems that it's the same with Panasonic CMs nowadays.
They probably still want her because she sells their products but I'm not sure if those CMs are that appealing on ayu's side since I'm not too sure that those CMs make her singles/albums sell more than they would (or a lot more than they would) without the CMs.

tokyoxjapanxfan 21st November 2009 07:48 PM
it's not like people sit around and say "hmm, let's see who has lackluster sales right now and give them the new AMAAAAZING tie in." companies are in it for the money too. ayu being slapped onto every brand doesn't necessarily mean cash for the company anymore. in fact the majority of commercials in japan right now don't feature many singers at all. it's usually models, actors/actresses and tarento.

*sometimes* the songs are actually really good and that more than just fans buy the single. i mean, all tie-in's do are play a small preview of the song. most people don't sit around thinking "oh ayu looks so pretty wearing that makeup! imma buy the single!" "that's a cool car...let's go out and buy the single~!" it's "imma buy the makeup/car!"

people buy things that they like now and what they feel is worth the money, with or without a tie in. people didn't buy sunrise because it was sucky, not because it had lame tie ins. likewise, the b'z single was purchased because it had good songs in it. and also, they do still use radios here in japan *sarcasm intended.* it's not like people depend on tv's to hear song previews.

*btw, i'm speaking in terms of CM's, not dramas. people's emotions are played up in dramas and so a link is formed between opening, closing and insert songs and the characters and story which cause more of a sales increase. and i'm also not saying CM's don't have positive effects on songs, but I mean, it's not the sole reason things sell.

It's more likely that they probably have a contract with her that lasts several years. If Panasonic had a choice between Ayu or Arashi or any JE group for that matter, I'm sure they would pick the JE group.

Part of the reason why Ayu doesn't get as many tie ins anymore or any really good drama tie ins is probably simply that the producers would rather have someone else who is more likely to make their product successful or that they feel really fits their drama - pretty much as simple as that.

Exactly. Ayu just simply doesn't have the power with advertisers that she used to and companies are in it for the money.

That's true.

Still, a contract for 7 years? (+?).
She does Lumix since like 2002...

It's either for a long time or the conrtact got re-newed a few times or 2-3 years ago (and she already wasn't the hottest in the market).

That's what I'm assuming. At least then though, she was still more marketable. Notice though that she used to do all Panasonic products, now she seems to be only limited to the Lumix commercials - they have a model doing the other things now.

But still back then there were kumi, ai, yuna ito, angela aki, mika nakashima (and some others too) but still they stayed with ayu for some reason

SURREAL__RAINBOW 21st November 2009 09:48 PM
Anything could be better than Dragon ball evolution xD


So that means I'm happy with the tie-ins for this single :D

I think it's because at that time everybody associated Panasonic with Ayu already, so suddenly changing her with somebody else might have been worse. She most likely would not have gotten a completely new contract from another company or for a different kind of product.

AyUta 22nd November 2009 04:40 AM
I just want to see the You Were....PV :heart It sounds like it's going to be so gorgeous!

angelababy 22nd November 2009 06:35 AM
beautiful. beautiful cover pics! absolutely dying to hear it...

Hydeki 22nd November 2009 10:15 AM
Here is another person who just went to the cinema to hear Rule, lol. I didn't like the movie U_U.

I was thinking on FNS... It is in 10 days, isn't it? Ayu usually goes there every year, and in the list of guests Ayu doesn't appear. I suppose that they will be putting ayu in the list, but, why this delay? Maybe avex is still planning their advertising strategy? You know, You were.../BALLAD is being releasing on 29th, almost a month after FNS, they might don't want to show the song(s) so early because it could get tired the public to listening to the same song along a month.

So...do you think ayu will be singing any new song in FNS?

njanjayrp 22nd November 2009 10:29 AM
^ at this point it's really hard to say anything, considering the tradition of her performing a new ballad, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Ayumi_lover 22nd November 2009 10:34 AM
^^She may sing BALAD on FNS and then start singing You were... from the middle of december

Can someone translate this news? It talks about Ayu doing the theme song for Tinkerbell's movie, it's from Tinkerbell's movie official site.
It talks about a CM? :

I think this means that from mid-December "You were..." will be played in the TV commercial for the new Tinkerbell movie. (..If O.A means "open access" anyway xD)

The rest of the news just talks about how Ayu is honoured to make the theme song. And that the people who requested her to do it, feel Ayu is perfect to perform the theme song for this movie, because she spreads 'power' to those around her like Tinkerbell does.

I really don't know how good or bad the Tinkerbell tie in is.
Cause outside of Japan the Tinkerbell movie is just released on DVD and nobody without little children do care about it.
I love Disney, but I'm not excited at all about this tie in. :shrug
A big Disney/Pixar movie with an Ayu song would be great on the other side.

TITANIC 22nd November 2009 02:09 PM
I dont think Tinker bell is such a strong of Disney movie but its alright. 1000000x times better than BALLAD tie-in

Maybe this tie-in opens the door to another and bigger tie-in with Disney :).

Well Disney is huge in Japan so let's hope the fact that it's Disney helps more than the fact it's Tinkerbell. :shrug

NintendoHTF1242 22nd November 2009 03:54 PM
Disney died a long time ago bbs'. But hey, not every J-Music singer gets a tie-in with Disney. So let's like, embrace it or something I dunno xD

KarenPang 22nd November 2009 03:57 PM
it's better than not getting a tie in at the end of the day

I don't recall a lot of jpop artistes getting a Disney tie in ? I could be wrong about it though D:

SURREAL__RAINBOW 22nd November 2009 05:10 PM
^^yea!
xD

thanks luna for the video :lech


Good that she gets to be part of Disnii Japan once again after all these years :D

Hydeki 22nd November 2009 05:56 PM
I don't want to let you down but, do you remember Rule? There were parts of the song released in Internet, but it took more time to leak publicy than we thought (a week more or less if I remember correctly). I really hope this time we will get it sooner!

Rule actually leaked before there were clips iirc, but only in those mean circles that don't share, the song was around 2 months before it was released

Delirium-Zer0 22nd November 2009 07:19 PM
Not everyone who decided not to leak the song was mean, you know. If they'd leaked the song to too many people, they wouldn't get advance rips on any releases later, and that would mean no clips or previews for anyone.

Maemi 22nd November 2009 07:25 PM
Yeah, but those people who are lucky enough to get the leaks weeks before us should also learn not to scrobble those "early leaked" stuff that can't be found anywhere. I think that's not ok.

I meant it like Maemi meant it. I can't STAND it when people talk about what a song sounds like when it's not available yet. There's nothing wrong with getting advanced leaks and not sharing them I suppose, but it becomes mean when they basically advertise that they have them and then not share

Never seen that video :). Thanks! :D

KillTime111 23rd November 2009 02:44 AM
liking the covers, the cropping is nice. sanks for the info~.

Picaflor 7/4 23rd November 2009 03:19 AM
well, we'll get the leaks eventually. who knows, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day before the physical release.

on a side note not relating to the topic at all because I feel like it.

I went to barnes and noble today and bought this book called "scandalous metropolitan". its pics from around japan. really cool. and I swear one or two of the pics look alot like ayumi and one even looks similar to kumi. not sure though, I doubt it but still. eerily similar looking people. one looks like ayu with shuya but not sure.

Mmm... it is a bit but I think at the end of day one should just let them be. We're going to hear the songs eventually so I find the idea of sharing or not sharing leaks a bit... well silly. I'm one of those people who are super excited when we get a leak but I've learned not to be too upset if we don't :)

angelababy 23rd November 2009 09:41 AM
I am waiting patiently for the leaks.. and until then... no more posting about my excitement!

My rough translation from Luna62 quoted message :

Spoiler:
The movie [ティンカー・ベル] & Ayumi Hamasaki best collaboration!
Disney movie [ティンカー・ベル と月の石] decision for the image-song!

The clothes are become more cute, greater adventure from what I experienced so far, the world of the fairy has scaled-up, I pictured a new TinkerBell and having looked so far with the new characters of [ティンカー・ベル と月の石]. The Japanese Diva who is proud of to the image-song of this movie, new single 「You were...」 has decided. As for the musical piece, TVCM of [ティンカー・ベル と月の石] will airing from the middle of December.

<Comments of Ayumi Hamasaki for taking this decision>

This time, I have presents 「ティンカー・ベルと月の石」 image-song of the Disney Movie, I feel glad. It can affect my work and loved by many people, I am very honored. With a movie, I think that you have enjoy my new song.

<Comments of Distribution of Walt Disney Studio for taking this decision>

I wanted to tell the charm of 「ティンカー・ベル」 to more people. Not only the popularity but 「ティンカー・ベル」 will also stand. I'm looking for a woman with the image of "Evergreen" the one who never changing forever. Therefore I met Ayumi Hamasaki. I take the overwhelming support from a Japanese woman, she herself is having a circumstance like 「ティンカー・ベル」. There is only Ayumi Hamasaki, the one who loves you well with the power to gives everything herself is like 「ティンカー・ベル」. So, I asked her for this image-song, because Hamasaki always shine at the top. The figure which continues giving spirit in all, I think it will be good image in 「ティンカー・ベル」. The best Diva of Japan and The best Disney character in Japan that they are proud of, is the strongest collaboration for Ayumi Hamasaki, and she realized that she feels very glad.

Itīs B3

Lanz16 23rd November 2009 06:38 PM
^ That was so small! :(

dartsofpleasure 23rd November 2009 09:24 PM
I love the covers :) She looks so great with dark hair

Yeessssssss

Suteisi 23rd November 2009 10:04 PM
B3 is not too small if we get all 3 different covers, then it's easier to put all of them on your wall, one next to the other n____n!

I agree. I get that they have no obligation to share anything, but sucks **** when they have the files, they talk about then and they don't share... that's not fair to me.

Kazeyomi 23rd November 2009 10:52 PM

people seems acting like the songs are their own property, as the drama they make when someone take the song and forgot to credit them. OMGIWILLNEVESHAREANYTHINGANYMORE'CAUSEYOUARESOOBAD lol it's Ayu(Avex) property she should be upset of it, not you :laugh

Picaflor 7/4 23rd November 2009 11:03 PM
^psh. I'm the total opposite. I don't like it when people credit me. like if they use a signature I make and put my name below it or something. its like walking onstage infront of an audience and going "This next skit is by Picaflor! Everyone stare at him now akwardly." or something. I don't like displaying for all to see what I've done, good or bad. If I post it myself, that's something different.

I actually like the cinderella song, the intro is very very nice. Sounds cool. and I don't like vob, flac, high lossless crap. I don't even know how to play it. I'd preffer an mp3 though.

amorphose 23rd November 2009 11:17 PM
Is a B3 poster the same size as the Rule / Sparkle poster? Because that one was pretty tiny... haha

That's good for me though! I have barely any space left for large posters! My walls are COVERED. D:

Picaflor 7/4 23rd November 2009 11:21 PM
how big is B3? and no complaing shane! the fact that you even have one beats me! D< :'(

amorphose 23rd November 2009 11:24 PM
^^Haha, I'm NOT complaining! :D I have so many that I can only fit small ones without making it look awkward. xD The first thing I saw when I wake up is "BAM! A BEST 2 -BLACK- SCARY ALIEN EYES AND PIERCING ULTRA BLUE STARE." haha

I buy posters before singles and albums because they seem more useful to me. :P < / end OT >

Picaflor 7/4 23rd November 2009 11:27 PM
jeez. I'd love to get some promotional stuff to decorate my walls, the only thing I have is some anime scrolls from years ago. I don't have anything jpop related. actually nothing in my room says I like anything japanese related I don't think haha. I'm just gonna get a big black paint bucket and pain "A" on my wall or something. hehe

I think A2 is normal poster size, promotional and stuff, so B3 must be alot smaller than that.

amorphose 23rd November 2009 11:31 PM
^^My room is an Utada and Ayumi shrine. @.@ My friends joke and say that walking into my room is like walking into a record store in downtown Tokyo. Especially when UTADA UNITED 2006 is in the DVD player. xDD

And to make this post (at least somewhat) relevant to this thread--
Is there any speculation as to when the PV's will air? She did mention that she was shooting at least one of them, right?

dreamland2.0 23rd November 2009 11:54 PM
B3 is the same size as the rule/sparkle poster, B2 was green/days
here's a picture if you want to know what they look like on a wall lol:

nemesisyume 24th November 2009 12:02 AM

my whole apartment is covered in ayu and some namie + one kuu & BoA LOL
so I have no idea where I'm gonna put the poster when I get it.
oh wait I still have space in front of the kitchen windows :D
ayu sees me do everything so I never do anything I wouldnt wanna my
mom to see.

amorph~ - haai she did mention at least one PVs shooting with the diamonds and stuff!

I do wonder if this single will be like some of the last few without
any new pictures inside the booklets - bcos I'm always so disappointed when
I look in the booklets and there is gibberish I can't understand :(
I am probably not the only one missing the dear inside pics :cry

hope we are lucky enough to see some pics of the style the PV is gonna be

i miss that too! the last time she had more pics in the booklet was.. talkin' 2 myself i think? and a lot of those pics inside were better than the actual covers. but we're already getting alternate covers so i'm okay if there aren't any more pics in the booklet, but it would be nice!

thanks for that but do you have a refference? a pencil, a book, a ruler, a pillow? something to show us how big or small that is? by that picture its hard to tell if the posters are 10 inches or 30 inches if you know what I mean. can you hold them in your hands or something? are they large wall pics?

nanakopy87 24th November 2009 12:33 AM
maybe teddbear can post up the measurement?

amorphose 24th November 2009 12:57 AM
@nemesisyume & identity I'm with you guys! I miss the photos in the booklets. :yes It was part of the perks to actually buying the physical singles for me.

@Picaflor 7/4 Here's a shot of one side of my room with the Rule poster (size B3) so you can compare it with other objects in my room. xD It's not very big at all. The BLUE BIRD, Secret and HEART STATION posters that can also be seen are (what I consider to be) normal size. I think they're called A2, maybe B2?

pommy48 24th November 2009 01:04 AM
I think I'm in love with your room :luv2

Too bad the poster is so small....I have it too~ Well at least she looks fierce on it lol

You have a point here. I miss them too, very very much!

jbrat2219 24th November 2009 02:55 AM
I'm kind of glad this poster is smaller! Now maybe I'll have somewhere to put it lol.

tinta_chan 24th November 2009 10:10 AM
Thanks for the info!

ayumi.hamasaki 24th November 2009 10:25 AM
I don't have much space for poster, too

so it is cool that they are only B3 size

koumori 24th November 2009 11:18 AM
