Does that mean Ayu has been on a break for the past 3 years then as well? Lol.

Aw yeah great sales! I wasn't expecting it, but it is not much of a surprise, since there are two versions, a quite interesting DVD [even though there's nothing new, there have never been a compilation of her a/Rhythm nation' perfomances], a new song AND add to it all the fact that the pregnancy brought some more attention to her and, who knows, made her image a bit better? Congrats Kuu, and bring us that new single!

tbh I think she might as well have lol

still havent heard beach mix. sad. maybe later.

Ayu has just released a studio album and is about to release a BEST album tomorrow as well as perform on TV. If anything Ayu has been release whoring lately as usual. :p

Ayu promotes more her image than her music right now (which it's not a bad thing, I'm just saying) and Kumi isn't doing both of them, she could easily do magazine photoshoots like SCawaii last year, just her face. But I think this is good for her, she has been in the public eye for such a long time, she can rest her image a little till the new single.

I feel so sad with all those summer special lives with no Kumi. I know all the things that are going on, but summer is such a great time to see her performing. XD

Agree with everything you said XD

Also I was bored so I was looking at the page where it talked about giving Kuu's upcoming single to people who buy tickets from the fanclub and I noticed something about some Lawson voucher thing near the bottom on October 23rd. Does this basically confirm the October 24 date rumor flying around?

who is in playroom here? she put a pic of the baby up! i want to seeee ;_;

I don't think the picture will leak anytime soon :(
The japanese media will explode everywhere showing the baby, and I think she just wanted to share with 'her fans" a.k.a. "the fans that paid for those things".

@KuuXAyu-fan: I'm not sure if this confirms the date, but the source where the release date leaked is reliable iirc.

Most likely - fanclub members - those members who are "loyal fans"... :no

No, it's not a photo of her son, it's apparently a photo of a friend's baby.
XD

Hurray for double b-side!! I'm assuming the CD+DVD info on the furthest right is some sort of fanclub version?

I love how her news isn't ever secretive. I'm excited for darling.

thanks <3

I think thats the anime edition.

A new single? I need this.

what is the third track in romaji?

honestly I'm disappointed GTTT is going to be an a-side, it's b-side material imo, or even an album track. I wanted double a-side single with a ballad + dance track ): oh well...

^ the third track is "to be confirmed"

^ "mitei"
means "undecided"

2012年初のシングルは、攻めのサウンドが満载の痛快作!

幸田来未の真骨顶とも言えるダンスチューン「Go to the top」は今年、期待度No.1、TVアニメ『トータル・イクリプス』オープニングテーマに决定!! !

ダブステップ要素を大胆に取り入れた疾走感あるビートが炸裂した今作は、恋爱、人生と様々な葛藤の中で生き る人々へ向けたメッセージが込められています！目の前に立ちふさがる困难があったとしても、何度でも立ち上 がろうとする姿势、前を见て歩き続ける事の大切さを教えてくれるのではないでしょうか！？

幸田来未らしい、ダンス・トラックで、今の幸田来未の势いをそのまま象ったような攻めのシングルとして期待 が高まりますっ！(^-^)v

カップリングには、リード曲とは打って変わって、ハートフルなアコースティックサウンド「darling」 を収录。今、ある"幸せ"をストレートに缀ったラブソングは彼女らしいもう１つの侧面を覗かせてくれる心温 まる一作。更に、DVDには初のアニメーションミュージックビデオを収录！

A面没什麼可说了
B面darling又是acoustic sound的少女恋歌
然后DVD是初次收录 动画MV。

Can anyone translate what this says?

thank you both! reminds me of Love Me Back announcement, so most likely the third track is a remix of Go to the top.
