Omg now were talking, the album is slowly coming! <3

I haven't read the ViVi myself, my Japanese roommate in Japan just told me. I think if this is true the lifestyle book will be pushed back? Which could be why we haven't gotten any more info?

^^maybe, but all the sites still say it will be released on 12.28?

What if she just like...DROPPED an album out of nowhere...like oh hi guys, it's in stores today, go get it! lol that would be kind of awesome.

But then in the article about the tie-in it says: 楽曲は来年２月から配信を予定しており、あゆは「幅広い世代の方々に共感して頂けたらうれしい」とコメントを寄せた。

The song is planned to be released in February. So I don't know lol. None of the Chinese sites have the ViVi yet?!

I think they will push the book back.
So maybe we will get an album announcement after the CDL.

Hmm...a drama tie-in!?

Now I know that the last time Ayu did a drama tie-in was for an NHK daytime drama in 2010 (BALLAD, recorded 2009), but I'm not sure about a tie-in for the primetime dramas...

I hate these little tidbits of news! I need more!! LOL

I want new album in Feb, so the news will spread in Jan :> so close.

The Vivi's are out :/

the title is too long in my opinion haha in the old times she would have said "what a beautiful you are" :P

I hope the book isn't pushed back. I've already pre-ordered and YesAsia will probably keep emailing me about splitting my shipment again, haha.
But to say it's supposed to be released shortly, there's no news about it; no cover, no promo info on her website...
Seems likely it will be pushed back.

The single's name is cute though. :)

how beautiful you are is arranged by Yuta Nakano.

So little info, but I'm soooo excited!

CANT WAIT!!!!!! OMG :) I love it when we start getting tid bits of info like this makes so much anticipation! X) and yay a drama tie in! :) hopefully it'll be a SUPER popular drama (unlikely but i can dream)

It's kind of an ~adult~ drama which is to say that I don't think it will be as immensely popular as you might think. You never know though!

oh, thanks aura! when i heard about the song being used in a drama i just assumed it was "Happening Here!" i'm glad we have a little more news. :yes

aaaaand, i am THRILLED to see more Timmy!

that has to be a typo on their part...there is just NO way its possible.

"1st" official song and its a medium ballad. Yay. just yay...

oh god... :dead2

i didn't think about that.

here we go again! :grumpy

Yay for pieces of news! The excitement is building...

Then I listened to the HQ 1:29 of "Happening Here".

Ok. I know this is kind of song that everyones hates but they secreatly shakes there bums to it when nobody's watching.

But 2 things:

Ayumi + english = NEVER WORKS.

Wt* is this backround sound like a cheap keyboard bought during last minute of black friday in 2$ sale? are you kidin me? the arragments weeps for help.

Her raps are cute though, I guilty-pleasured them. They sound just like in Fly high. Besides her english, her vocals are pretty amazing.
