It’s been revealed that Hamasaki Ayumi will be singing the theme song for the upcoming drama, “Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi“.

Set in Kamakura, the drama follows actors Koizumi Kyoko and Nakai Kiichi, who play out an adult love story. Hamasaki, who agreed to take part in the OST after reading the script, commented, “I wrote a song that will bring warm feelings to anyone who listens to it.”

Her song, “how beautiful you are“, is a medium-tempo ballad that describes the feeling of gratitude towards someone.

This is Hamasaki’s first time in two years and five months since she last sang a theme song for a drama. Her last OST contribution was “Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL” for the TV Asahi drama, “Dandy Daddy?“.

Producer Wakamatsu Hiroki commented, “She created a wonderful song that has both kindness and sadness interact within a mature atmosphere. It’s perfect for the drama’s image.”

“I will be happy if people of all ages can sympathize with the song,” said Hamasaki.

“Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi” will air every Thursday night from 10:00 p.m., starting on January 12th. Hamasaki’s song is scheduled to be distributed in February.

Just saw this on tokyohive then I rewind to read some of the posts in this thread...

So I guess we have to wait till 2nd week of Jan for the preview?

^ Another medium-tempo ballad...:thud Well, at least it's a good tie-in.

truehappiness 21st December 2011 12:35 PM

We also seem to have rather upbeat-ish PVs this time around... I wonder if how beautiful you are's PV was done in London already?

I can't really see it being any of the ones they filmed there... (factory with robots, night club, partying in an apartment)

Waiting for the Sun is not bad...i can kinda see Ayu singing that. It has that very j-pop melody.
btw is that him singing?

(the other songs are kinda...meh...lol..and Akatsuki totally has that BRILLANTE thing going on)

I've read someone saying the life style book was pushed back to 31st January? Then it would make sense what has been said that would be released at the same time and the info about releasing the song in February!

Do you think this means a single in February? Or just a way to promote the songs for new album in February?

freedreamer 21st December 2011 01:09 PM

there was something about the new album coinciding with the release of book right?
im gonna laugh if its called HOTEL lol!!..
with all the news about AT12..its gonna be hard to say for sure now.
but i dont think avex will put it within that time period...
(there's kuu and ayaka..with all due respect for them)

from now, we're looking at a mid feb release but with the tour which may start then, probably a march/apr release.

maybe the new song's gonna be a digital single.

pepper 21st December 2011 04:50 PM

I would not cry if the album would be called HOTEL to be honest. It's a good name for a non-cohesive album. And it reminds me of Ladies Night PV lol.

TeamAyu2004 21st December 2011 04:55 PM

I dont Know about that title, lol.
All her other titles had meanings to her and her career at the time...
Hotel cant mean anything but that... hotel... lol.

I still would love to see the center stage and a bed in center of it and she just performs from that... lol. Classic. A hotel bedroom theme stage....
All the good ideas must be taken, lol.

freedreamer 21st December 2011 04:59 PM

HOTEL could symbolise a place people from all over the world visit for relaxation after recreation. it has to be comfortable and widely accepted. Hence, it would mean an album for the worldwide audience. A hotel also houses many types of people hence, going by that, could also mean an album with different stories and perspectives, different styles and genres.

that's how I see the word. I think its really meaningful and unique :)

ohsixthirty 21st December 2011 05:24 PM

^HOTEL is also where Ayu usually gets to meet her fans! :yes

AyumiAi 21st December 2011 05:32 PM

Please no digital single :'( I want physical copy to buy!!!! X) I hope she does release a single! I miss ayu's singles

adantatu2 21st December 2011 07:14 PM

maybe there is a secret message on the word "HOTEL" (like FIVE)

YUKARI 21st December 2011 07:24 PM

no, I don't like the title "HOTEL"! it sounds so cheap :thud

maybe this could also be reason why she covered a song called Happening Here?!

Mari-chan 21st December 2011 07:36 PM

Will "Happening here" be on the Album to, or is it only for the tour? Sorry.. but I really dislike, what I heard until now.
But the new song sounds promising. A new mid-Tempo Ballad... that's good!

we don't know yet, but i doubt it will be on the album. i might be wrong though.

!Lawi! 21st December 2011 08:02 PM

I doubt the title will be HOTEL, or even a longer title with the word "HOTEL" in it... I just hope she won't include Happening Here in the album...

But the fact we got that song so quickly after it was announced makes me confident about a release in January / February for the upcoming album !

Heavenly 21st December 2011 09:36 PM

HOTEL is a bad title, and personnaly I would like HOSTEL better :P

A simple word or letter is enough to change the whole meaning or feeling:
before the Rock'n'Roll Circus album announcement, there was a rumour about the title CIRCUS. The word itself is shallow and meaningless to me, but add "the" in front of it, and you get an epic title. The Circus sounds more powerful than Circus alone. :)

HTMSD 21st December 2011 09:47 PM

She's had ballad-song, and the title is BALLAD
She's had album with many Love songs inside, and the title is Love songs...
So, why not HOTEL?

lol xD

ayumisrael 21st December 2011 09:55 PM

I will laugh if it will be HOTEL, I will be then a psychic (j/k) it's almost of the obvious titles but it can be something completely different too :laugh
