LOL. I thought the As-yet-untitled is a song :laugh
|
Thanks for this second thread.
Thanks for the detailed tracklisting of each version of the 2 singles~ |
whoa! Busy Ayu!!
|
I guessed I'm late for the big news!
I looking forward to buying these two singles. I'm already sold on "MOON (Orchesta version) remix" on the "crossrod" single Waiting to hear more news on the 50th single "L" |
Aah, so much happens when you spend a week in the Caribbean without internet! I almost cried with happiness-- my name starts with L and it's released on my birthday! It's like Ayu's singing me a present!!!
|
^That's amazing! You are lucky. ^^ Gongrats!
|
Hmm triple A-side but only 2 with MVs?...I think she may be releasing the PVs for blossom and that last song
|
Thanks for the information!
Can't wait to listen Ayu new single. |
Quote:
ot: I'm so happy too, cause my real name starts with L *-* hahaha |
A & H didn't have any PV's, right? & had them all... how many of the & PV's were released on the single?
|
I'm a little optimistic about the ballad on L because the ballads on H and & are probably my most favorites...
|
|
it would be sick if we got
crossroad- crossroad pv, blossom pv L- final pv part for one of the songs, pv for the b-side of crossroad |
Quote:
40 days till L! So in the next short weeks we'll get covers tracklists and leaks and maybe lives... :Q_____ |
Quote:
|
I'm hoping that the b-side for crossroad will be a talkin' 2 myself-esque rock song and that for L, there will be a STEP you-esque pop song, an is this LOVE?-esque rock song, and a HANABI ~episode II~-esque ballad. :)

But well, I'm pretty sure all were broadcasted in TV when the single was released, cause in "A COMPLETE CLIP BOX" we have all PV's from "Poker Face" till "Forgiveness" (and left out MA new PV's BoY and ANGEL's SONG cause MA was the first album that had CD+DVD ver.) |

YAY!!!!!!!! i finally got 2 replies from ayu~~~~~~~~ http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/5...utweettome.jpg this is my happy happy happy day~~~~ |
some interesting thoughts from Japanese Ayu communities:
H's songs had Hanabi, Independent and July 1st. H, I, J. Which are close to each other in the alphabet. And so people are thinking that for L, it might have songs starting with letters K, L, and M. I think that's kind of irrelevant, but it's interesting to say the least. haha |
Quote:
|
I don't think there will be a set pattern on the titles lol. I think the H single was just a coincidence.

Why would the 48th single PV on the 49th single? Makes no sense. |
My Name is Women ended up on the STEP you single, so anything is possible...?

At this point I don't think we can really depend on anything. I think she'll be surprising us with her 3rd single. |

Does anyone think the first press bonu's box set will run outbefore the covers come out?:S
or some time soon? Cuz i wanna wait till covers to decide between the two CD DVD versions, cuz im only getting one;) and a CD version for both the 49th and 50th? I think the second pv on Crossroad willbe for the untitled song. |
Kome (Ayu's sound engineer with the mohawk-y thing) tweeted this:
浜崎あゆみ 49thシングル「crossroad」は、小室哲哉氏作曲！ayu単独への楽曲提供はこれが初！ http://twitter.com/rice20000 I want to say that it's the single in general and that he'll be doing that other song on the single as well... but I can't say for sure. |
^^ I don't think there will be any problem with the first press! I waited for the covers and even for the PV with MW and D/G and it got the first press bonus' box
|
I just want this single. Fisrt press or not (although that would be great). My parents must get L for me at least.

praying for crea, but im still not expectinganything

Do you guys think she'll have an amazing cover for L?
The covers for A, H and & have always been some of my favorite covers of her, and definitely the best out of their era's. A: Look at all the single covers that came before A. That's my point. H: Maybe not spectacular on it's own, but it had 4 different covers that were ACTUALLY different, not just her bending her arm a bit more or something. It's also an outside shoot, with props (motorcycle) and other people. Quite groundbreaking for her. &: Do I even need to discuss it's awesomeness? So I'm having high expectations, and I'm hoping for H-like truly different covers again! :) |
Ahhh! I cant wait to see the covers! Then I will know which first press box I want.
Will it be like the slipcovers that they used in MW and D/G? Or is it like an actual BOX? |
Even if A was better than previous covers (except whatever imo) but I don't find it that great at all
H and & were excellent however But idk. I don't have expectations for the covers. I just hope they're great. |
We don't really know what kind of packaging it is.
Because the CD only editions are getting special packaging too, people are thinking it might be some sort of digipak release since a long-box would only really be suitable for CD+DVDs... |
Wouldn't it be amazing if they decided to do a medley PV consisting of independent, July 1st, and HANABI as an extra?
Let me dreaaam!! |
I hope you all like my closing statement for the previous thread.
Who knows what they'll do. I just hope they do something. As I said before. they had a freaking concert celebrating her 30th single (not forgiveness specifically, but getting up to 30 singles), and the actual 30th single, was nothing special, it was just like every other standard single she's released so far. If they make a huge deal out of just getting 30 singles without actually doing anything special for the actual 30th single, I can't imagine how her 50th single will be. Also as I said before, I really want them to do something like Britney Spear's "Chris Cox Mega-Mix" for ayu's 50th single as a bonus track, it was was a 5 minute mega mix of like, 10 of her best selling single songs. There's even an official video for it. If ayu could do something like that, it would be awesome. |
^I think the fact they're doing a special packaging, have this "extravagant" team of composers and this is her first 3A in 7 years is confirmation enough that they're doing something special for the actual single this time. How it'll all turn out is another thing altogether. :P
I love Mega-mix's, I tend to like fanmade ones the best though but it would still be a cool idea. How would they chose which songs to use though? She has 50 singles... even if you did like 30 sec of each song.... lol yeah. XD |
Quote:
Also, I don't think special packaging really means "extravagant". Mirrorcle World and Days/GREEN had the long sleeve cases. ayumix 2 had the "limited edition speckle" cases. Her H single came in a digipack. NEXT LEVEL came as a USB. Rock n Roll Circus came in a box set. First press versions of Rule/Sparkle came with picture disks instead of the standard ones. Specially packaging her discography isn't exactly new, and I don't consider anything "special" about anything I listed above except Mirrorcle World cause it was to celebrate her 10th anniversary. Also the fact that it's a 3 A-side single doesn't mean it's special. Yeah that's cool, but I may be wrong, but she didn't release A, H, or & for anything special in her career. They just happen to be singles with 3 A-sides on them. Although, there is always time to prove me wrong, so I guess we'll just have to find out what is so "special" about this single that will make it different from the rest of her singles. Do we know who the "extravagant" composers are of her L single? I sound mean saying this XD but unless they are composer's she's never worked with before, and have a list of amazing songs they've released in the past and have an amazing rep. I won't consider it to be amazing. I especially pray for composer's she's never worked with before. If the compsers are like, Kazuhiro Hara and max matsuura then I would consider this single anything but special. :P |
Oo oo! How about a mermaid theme for the crossroad covers? :D That would be interesting, wouldn't it?
|
I'd prefer no meermaid theme. She's dressed that way. Its used not only by her. And ijust by a crossroad preview its awkard. Unless the other song might fit :)
Idk. I don't want a specific theme. I can't wait to see what she throws at us. This is fantastic. Ayu finally reaching her 50th single. Its a feat for her really. I'm proud of her. I could almost cry hehe~ This wait is just gonna suuuuck. And suck hard. But hopefully it will be worth it |

As far as packaging, she does it regularly with releases both normal (RnRC, NL) and special (MW and D/G) and for the most part, they've been unique to that specific release. Who knows what this packaging with entail but I feel it'll probably be something along the lines of MW and D/G... something we don't see too often and remember to be unique to that release. Or at least, I hope. The composers... tbh, I don't expect anyone *new* to the Ayu line-up but I feel we'll get some surprises regardless (and of course, I'm referring to CREA and DAI :P). |
DAI, CREA and Kikuchi.
My dream composers for L. |
Quote:
|
^^YES YES YES. :heart Those three are all I need to make this release perfect. :heart
|
Quote:
|
Well, one out of those three is already confirmed to be coming back for something (It can't be for album stuff, right?) so...
COME ON CREA+DAI. |
^Oh right! I forgot about Kikuchi's coming back!:) Thanks for reminding me again!
|
I just don't see why she would compose anything unless she seriously thought she could write better or it was important to compose something.
Either way ayu can compose something great but its the arrangers that will make or break it Ayu might though. Just for the hell of it. Its the 50th so yeah. CREA+DAI? How probable is that? At least kikuchi is composing. Hopefully that's a good thing. (I really hope) :yes Can't wait to see who else |
CREA+DAI would be amazing. Sometimes CREA doesn't do good on her own, everything with DAI is fantastic though.
|
Well if CREA's ever going to make a comeback, L would be the perfect opportunity. I mean, her 50th single by CREA. I'd make an exception to the rule I made in order to protect my economy, and buy the single.
|
Quote:
IMO everything CREA has done has been some of ayu's best songs in her discography. |
Quote:
|
^^Who cares if you offend people?
Lol as long as you're respectful, it's your opinion. I'm curious to know which songs since the ones she did are so amazing to me. |
Seen from a songwriter/arrangers POV I guess most songs from I am... are crap. They aren't constructed as songs usually are. But I loved them because they were so different, so unpredictable. They never went like: verse, another verse, chorus, verse, bridge, chorus, chorus, done.
|
Quote:
|
^^ Well those would be my least-favorite CREA songs as well :)
|
I've always adored Humming 7/4 :innocent. It's one of her only songs that makes me want to headbang and jump around crazily lol.
|
I like winding road but I agree with flower garden :)
|
Sorry was this ever posted?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_waldman O_O sounds very exciting. |
wow, this sounds very excited !!! it makes me feel so anxious for crossroad <3
|
I see that he+Kumuro have done a lot of Namie's songs in the past. but then again, that sound was 10 years ago so...i wonder if this collaboration is a first since then
|
omgg, I'm so much more excited for crossroad now!!
|
Wow, im so late for the big news!
2 new singles in each week... its amazing! |
Sounds all very exciting. OK, I'm gonna go on YesAsia and change my order around to make sure crossroad ships separately from "L" to help the first week sales of both singles!!
|
I don't want to pay twice for delivery %)
|
^ I agreed
|
I changed my order so it now looks like this.
ORDER #1 crossroad (SINGLE+DVD) (Jacket A) (Japan Version) crossroad (Jacket B)(Japan Version) crossroad (Jacket C)(Japan Version) Rina Aiuchi - Last Scene (ALBUM+DVD)(First Press Limited Edition)(Japan Version) Order #2 L (SINGLE+DVD)(Jacket A)(Japan Version) L (SINGLE+DVD)(Jacket B)(Japan Version) L (Jacket C)(Japan Version) L (Jacket D)(Japan Version) Kumi Koda - Sukide Sukide Sukide/Anata Dake ga (SINGLE+DVD/Jacket A) (Japan Version) So now i got all i want and both orders get free shipping. Last Scene releases the week before crossroad on the 15th, so it can't hold it back, and Kumi's Sukide x3 releases the same week as crossroad, so it can't hold the shipment of "L" back either. Also, both orders will be shipped so that both of Ayu's singles count on first week sales. |
^ you are so~lucky... x_x
I will choose 2 different ship too ^_^ |
i'll change mine to 2 different orders later on too :)
|
So the clip we got to hear of crossroad from the MOON/blossom single may not have been the final version?
|
^apparently not.

Oh silly me, I was stressing out as to how to help Ayu with the sales of the singles and you totally helped me out by showing me this! ^__^ Will order "crossroad" and "L" seperately @ CDJapan! Thanks for solving my handache~ xD |
Quote:
|
OH WOW. So I guess YesAsia works for you.
I've never gotten customs charges from ordering anything overseas, thankfully! With CDJ though I get release-date delivery now...plus they have the points system, so I like them. ^_^ |
crossroad a medium-tempo ballad?
Not again a ballad... Still hope for the other song on the single. |
Quote:
|
Yeah, could be, but I'm a bit worried, cause I don't like the Chaku Uta. XD
|
Neither do I...but I never like them. lol
|
i would end up paying an extra 30 dollars if i order seperately :S
But what i realised is that CdJ always ships it early so if L is released the 29th crossroads and L will be shipped to me around the 27th so they will be marked as shipped and they will count as her first week sales i believe Moon/blossom was shipped to me on the 12th of July so i think its possible and that way i dont spend another extra 30$ >.< |
