First time making a thread like this, sorry if its not the best but I am excited.

I was just checking TA like always lol


*Notes:
- タイトル未定 is not a the tittle for the song, its means tittle unknown.
- L is the Roman numeral for 50.

Yaaay thank you for the news!!! I didn't have time for checking TA...
Wonder how the other song will be titled... :D

EDIT: 50th single will be out 1 week after the 49th releases?? pretty awesome... and she's going to be so busy and restless (again) u_u

oh this's wonderful to know so , thanks a lot :D

now people can stop speculating when crossroad will be out now x)

but eh , L as a song title ? I haven't seen that since & but I look forward to both releases no matter what <3

if im not wrong the 50th single seems to have 6 versions??? *faints*

and maybe L for love?? xDD thank u sooo much for this!!! made my day!! :D

not sure if L is the title since I cant read Japanese but they arent listing much info on it or the 4 versions it has

Thanks for the news~

So looking forward to remix of blossom and MOON's orchestra version~

i really thought they'd wait more than...one week to release the 50th single :roflmao but it's good news! the only word i can think of with L is "Love" :P

i'm hoping crossroad will sound better in full than in the preview :)

It says L has three new songs! OMFG IS THIS THE 3A SINGLE I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF!?!?!

YESSS!!! Omg so happy I didn't go to sleep.
So wait. What does that say after crossroad as I don't speak japanese haha~
So two new tracks

I'm curious about the 50th. "L" ...the ambiguous one character titles. Just lovely ayu XD

Well hopefully they will be good songs. ^____^

@relmy

no... it says the title is not chosen yet xD

omggggg *dies*

:D

but only one week apart?! O_O.


And the 50th single says that a limited first press package is planned.
初回仕様：初回特殊パッケージ


and we have 7 new covers to look forward to O_O.

ikr? it's a little crazy... o_o specially if it is 3A single...

NO WAY NO WAY NO WAY OMGGGGGG OMG OMG OMG
Freaking out

50th single ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! oh my goD

im surprised Ayu now has a song with Japanese characters lol

ah i cant wait im ready to buy all the versions lol

She doesn't. It's a TBA title.

no she doesnt! it says the title is to be chosen yet or something like that lol

Omg, another lettered single!! I'm in shock

^haha ok, I should start learning Japanese...

Lol....22/09...My Birthdayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy........I love Ayu xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDdd

I hope it will be up for preorder soon...lol.
I wonder if the 50th single will have a nice bonus...

OMG YESSSSS sorry I'm freaking out lol

Ayumi Hamasaki & Love?

I'm so excited!! I had a minute long spasm when I saw the news.

oh my god!!! yeah!!! soooooo excited!!!!!! two new singles in September!!!

-jawdrop-

this is the craziest release i've ever seen lol

haha im freaking out too

Wow... I'm shocked their only a week apart. Not surprised at the letter single, but I wonder what it stands for... A and H are obvious.

Lol I was confused too XD whether it was real or a tba thing. I need japanese

Well then looking forward to seeing. Other titles

Oh god, this means there's 7 chances for the 50th single to have fail covers. :laugh

I'm excited for these! It's like we're getting a mini album from the 48th-50th singles. I can't believe there's only one week apart for the last two singles! It will be interesting to see how this goes.

I'm guessing Love! How many times does love come up in her lyrics after all.

I can't really wait for it now!!! (no, I mean THEM - 49th and 50th!!!)

she hasn't released a song like "LOVE" or "HEART" yet. it seems very likely. I always love such basic things as singles. :)

nice idea, but idk...hopefully it will be revealed in an interview.

What's the point of "ayumi hamasaki & love"? ...I hope for something more.

Best new ever. (this week).:P

I'm super excited.

Wait...does タイトル未定 means untitled? A song to be determined?

And I hope she doesn't...those titles are wayyy too simple and cheesy for an ayu song. </3

because her discography is so cheese-free, eh.

Wait... Kuu's releasing a single also (on the 22nd) - isn't she from Avex's rhythm zone subsidiary? But I know that her recent singles were not #1...

Cause all we need is Ayu and love. :P

I wonder how crossroad is going to do up against Kuu's 好きで、好きで、好きで。 / あなただけが single. I'd like to see both get number 1 but that will never happen. I wonder if Avex would push Kuu's back.

...yeahh, it kinda is. compared to kuu's, yuna ito's, or even namies...

if not mistaken,this single will release on the same day with kuu's single?

im dying to know the tittles for L but im thinking they wont reveal them until the crossroad is out, just to mess with us. I really hope not though lol

Maybe they'll push kuu's back...but even if not, kuu hasn't gotten the number one for a while I don't think, so ayu should be OK...

@Edge: Do A and H singles really stand for her name? XD (I thought it was possible but never. Knew it was confirmed) The only one I ever understood was M.
L. Love. Laughter. Lazy. Loopy. Lusty. ...so many word but Love makes sense. :yes but ill just keep thinking of it as L. I like ambiguity.

Also, flumpool is releasing on the 29th, but that's not a concern...

so looking forward to "L" single the most :3 I hope this won't dissapoint as moon/crossroad :weep

That I know of it was never confirmed but kinda obvious.

yea, because that 40sec lq preview of crossroad is so revealing of how the entire song will sound...

I feel soooo excited now :D

omg, it says "titled unknown" in japanese. for a moment i was like 'WHAT?! FOR ONCE IN HER LIFE SHE HAS A JAPANESE KANJI SONG TITLE?!?!" (sotsugyo shashin doesn't count, it was just a cover. XP) lol too bad.

Yes, but Ayu's recent single outsold Kuu's first week by a smidge (60k vs 70kish i think?) but Ayu had no promo for M/B, so with it she should be able to secure the number 1 spot.

Avex doesn't switch Kuu's release dates because she doesn't have a streak to hold, so it will probably stay the same.

please someone translate what they say on L!

I don't understand ._.

3Aside, right?

I think I'm done shaking and crying for now.

For the 50th single -
"First press extra: Serial number access card , 50th single song a cappella ver. chaku uta present, 48/49/50th single purchasers unreleased image present, first press packaging"

And in the single:
"3 new songs, 49th single acoustic / orchestra versions for a total of 7 tracks."

or something.

M stands for Maria. and I don't think it was ever 'confirmed'. it just seems likely.


@pieces of seven
I won't argue your bias.

Please HANABI~episode III~... regardless September is going to be an amazing month for Ayu. *____*

She can take Koda most likely (no offense Koda Kumi), even if it's not by a large number. Gossip Candy had 5 new songs and it still sold less than M/b.

Good, then I don't have to argue your foolishness. win/win.

I can't believe the 50th single will be released on my birthday...ahhhh ayu and I were meant TO BE! <3

She has never done something like this. Get ready for this - Avex might want to move some things out...

HANABI ~episode III~ would be AMAZING!

I think it was confirmed in her Time Magazine interview back in 2002 or were you talking about what A and H stood for? Sorry If I got what you said wrong.

3 new songs specifically, but it's kind of obvious it'll be a 3A since it would just be --/-- if it were another double A-side.

Current status for Johnny's competition:

• ARASHI - OK (Løve Rainbow: 9/8, also with an "unknown title" song, which is a B-side...)
• SMAP - OK (This is love: just released 8/4, currently in progress)
• NEWS - OK (annoucing a new album called "LIVE"; don't know when that will release...)
• KAT-TUN - OK (nothing busy right now, except for kicking out Akanishi Jin)
• Others? We don't know...

And there seems to be no word of competition from Kobukuro, Hexagon All Stars, AKB48 or something else... AKB48 is releasing two new singles, but that starts a month after Ayu's single madness...

They mention that this is her first "maxi single" since &.

well it's a TK song and I don't like his works at all, but we'll see.. I think I'll love the 50th single as it'll have a kikuchi song <3 I have a good feeling about it :)

If I'm not mistaken all her single character singles titles except for M have been 3/4-A sides.

Oh my god, five new full songs in September from Ayu. That's like the amount she dishes out on an album already. This is super exciting!

10 track 50th single ftw!

new song 1
new song 2
new song 3
new song 1 remix
new song 2 remix
new song 3 remix
new song 1 inst
new song 2 inst
new song 3 inst
bonus track

^Where did you get that from? or is that just what you're hoping for?

So if someone purchases the first press edition of "L", they get acapella versions of the new songs on the single through chaku-uta. It also comes with unreleased photographs from the photoshoots taken for the 48th, 49th, and 50th single as cell phone and computer wall papers.

The first press edition of "crossroad" would come with with chaku-utas of "L", even though I personally feel it isn't even necessary :P.

To say I am a bit excited about this would be an understatement, lol.

d'oh. :no

Just what I'm hoping for :P

OMG *dies*

2 new singles :heart!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah. Well it would be nice if that's how the single turned out.

Thanks for the news!!!

It was brought up elsewhere but L is the roman numeral for 50.

How fitting.

I had that thought until I saw that you posted it!!!

i like that!! xD

never could of thought about it lol

MOON ORCHESTRA
BLOSSOM ORCHESTRA
HELL YES

AND 3A OH GOD I'M GOING TO EXPLODE ;_;

I know! I'm glad it puts that "Love" theory to rest. LOL

Wauw 2 singles... and both should be able to get #1.. but I wonder if they're gonna that much...Let's all buy them this time.. this is for the record guys ;)

OMG OMG OMG, This is a dream right?? OMG

isn't kuu releasing her single on the 22nd? :laugh

N...not necessarily. :weep :weep

That makes a lot of sense. Ayu is so smart XD

I'm soooooo going broke in September :thud Ayu's totally worth my money, though!

Ayumi Love & Hate :P

Well, she could still have a song with love in the title!

Gaaaah, excitement overload.

OMG I'm so confused!

"L" hehe reminds me of Death Note :3

But thanks for the news! I'm so excited for this!

True, but the roman numeral thing seems a bit more plausible.
Lol...guess we'll have to wait and see.

I can't wait for the rest of the song titles!

This was really too much for one day, now I cant sleep :P lol

Oh wow, I didn't know that XD That's amazing. Before that, I was actually thinking more about L from Death Note. :laugh

Ayu does have a song titled Love, it's just followed by "~destiny~", "~refrain~", and "~since 1999~"

I'm actually more scared than excited... because my wallet is finally getting raped, murdered, cut into pieces, and burned with fire... and also going to hell most likely and never coming back

@truehappiness: gah. The one time I could use all those roman numerals they taught me when I was seven. Lol. I totally wouldve never thought about it that way haha~ cool

Oh I'm more and more excited *crossea fingers* please be awesome. Please be awesome

yeah getting all this versions on this short period of time is a bit overwhelming but worth it lol

this.. except well.. i'm still really excited LOL

I pray L is a working title, and will change. Or she will at least give us a deeper meaning than "50th single". I'm happy to hear it's a triple a side though, but why does she feel like she has to do those one character singles like that? Whenever there are more than 2 a-sides to a single, she just slaps a single character onto them as the title.

@@~ what? limited version for 50th single? @@im afraid if ayu release 48,49,50th single in one package as a limited box...T.T

I hope some of the songs from the 49th and 50th singles make an appearance at a-nation, because if they do so, maybe this is just to warn us that the content for Ayu's a-nation might be containing the songs from those singles...
