Suddenly becomes colorful
I love it, this the first time I’ve felt like this

It’s a miracle that I met you
on this huge, yet tiny planet

Hello new me, Hello new me
I’m a new person, looking at each day with new eyes

Our personalities are so different
but that’s what balances us out so well
We love it, I’ve learned more day by day

I want us to let this relationship bloom gently
Slowly, there’s no rush

Hello new me, Hello new me
I’m a new person, together we’ll be happiest of all

Hello new me, Hello new me
I’m a new person, looking at each day with new eyes

Hello new me, Hello new me
I’m a new person, together we’ll be happiest of all

Oh god. Ayu's turned into one of those people that goes from saying, "I loved the movie!" to "WE loved the movie".... :roflmao

The title of the song is "Hello new me" but we don't know the release date ! It's will be a slow ballad. She was responsible of the theme for the 1st season (How beautiful you are) ...

http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainm...007928160.html

It's good !! I know you are all tired by ballads XD but Ayumi without ballads it's not ayu ...

http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20...4-spnannex-ent

The song is a slow ballad and 'release is pending' (I assume it's from the new album) and could be considered a bit of a 'cheer song' for those who may be starting new lives. The lyrics were penned with a bit of a nod to her new life with her husband.

Broadcast of the series starts on April 17th. Ayu previously sang the first season's ending theme, how beautiful you are.

Minttulatte 7th April 2014 12:20 AM

Hello new me makes me think of Seiko Matsuda's songs for some reason. Oh well, I hope it's good because lately I've felt so disconnected with Ayu and it sucks :/

Beauty4123 7th April 2014 01:20 AM

I'm happy to hear about a new song! "Hello new me" is a cute title & I look forward to listening to the song. :)

Surreal17 7th April 2014 01:34 AM

Finally! Ayu news! I'm really excited for a new album. The title of this new song sounds promising!

AyUmIXx 7th April 2014 02:33 AM

the title is really something lol..
hello new me? XD
but hopefully it's good

ayumisrael 7th April 2014 02:50 AM

I knew that I know the drama's name from somewhere lol.

At least something new! I hope it will be pretty as how beautiful you are.

Was the drama successful?

I also wonder if there will be more ballads in the new album. It might be an album promoter song.

The drama starts in 10 days xD

Should be an album announcement too I suppose? A June release? =P

Yuniz_hime 7th April 2014 02:52 AM

I'm happy for the news.

freedreamer 7th April 2014 02:53 AM

YAY NEW SONG!! I'll take it :D
Perhaps Album in June then..i hope

AyuGAME 7th April 2014 03:04 AM

Yay for new song!!! looking forward to the song and also the dorama..love it

hidekirby 7th April 2014 03:34 AM

The title sounds really unayu. I hope the sound will be fresh too!

& + H 7th April 2014 03:37 AM

Ah songs about her significant other are starting now.

Ahi_max91 7th April 2014 04:11 AM

finally new song, can't wait~

adantatu2 7th April 2014 04:15 AM

I hope is a good ballad, i don't want another hbya

ExodusUK 7th April 2014 04:26 AM

I'm expecting something kinda lame and Feel The Love level of blah from the title? Hopeful though.

RealLight 7th April 2014 05:25 AM

/\ Pretty much what i tought

truehappiness 7th April 2014 06:30 AM



Someone got audio from a morning TV show. So cute and sweet sounding and IIIIIIIIIII-Ayu is back.

aqua_crystal 7th April 2014 06:53 AM

I'm not particularly impressed by the preview. Ayu's cutesy songs aren't really my thing, but of course, its too early to say.

My Rainbow 7th April 2014 06:55 AM

now I am excited! Sounds nice!

adrtwb 7th April 2014 06:55 AM

that's something refreshing! will it be released as a physical single this time?

AYUCREA 7th April 2014 06:58 AM

hello new me~~hello new me~~~
the preview sounds interesting

Ashen Twilight 7th April 2014 06:58 AM

Omg!! So excited!!!

I'm waiting for her rock songs god damn

edit: Oh my gosh I'm shivering from all the happiness sounding in the preview.

AyUmIXx 7th April 2014 07:16 AM

still can't judge from the preview specially, it includes MCs voices talking..
hard to tell..
waiting for the real preview.

tasking 7th April 2014 08:31 AM

I've got one word: ugh.

CeReSu 7th April 2014 08:48 AM

nothing new but I'll wait for the full song.

~StarCatcher~ 7th April 2014 08:51 AM

I'm happy we will get a new song from Ayu soon and hopefully a new album soon*__*

"Hello new me" sound so like a Kana Nishino song title haha :-D

LONJJONG 7th April 2014 08:55 AM

The title sounds like a teenager hahaha =D
Ayu has been singing for theme songs recently (which is good)
Anticipating her new album :D

freedreamer 7th April 2014 08:57 AM

Its sweet :) i hope it builds and has more twists! The hello new me was interesting chords wise hahah

holy_arrow 7th April 2014 08:57 AM

For the first impression, I think this song is normal and not better than "how beautiful you are" ... Hope that I'm wrong when the full version and PV is released !!!

njanjayrp 7th April 2014 09:01 AM

Why is she singing like that? Is she trying to destroy her voice again? TBH I dislike the preview. Hoping the song will sound different somehow.

Tom Punks 7th April 2014 09:03 AM

ugh. i hope it doesn't sound anything like LOVE and LOVE again in full because from the preview it sounds exactly like she's falling back on that style AGAIN =_=

tokyoxjapanxfan 7th April 2014 09:29 AM

I like how it sounds!

I for one like her cuter songs. :D

Also with the release of this song, all songs released prior are all very different. None of them really have a common thread. I like that. While I do love Love songs and Love again, they're very much filled with similar styles. And it's a bit daunting to listen to. But so far the new songs have been a mix of styles, which adds to my excitement of how the final album will be.

I wonder how much longer it'll be for the release of the song...

Zemus 7th April 2014 09:33 AM

Great news. I expected this ever since they announced season 2 of that drama. :)

Looking forward to more!

*+Dark.Night.Angel.+* 7th April 2014 09:42 AM

Well, it's a cutesy song and so far I've loved what I heard.
Who knows how different may the full version be?

Anyways I'm looking forward to this release.

Linza-mo 7th April 2014 10:23 AM

Fresh and lovely, not a masterpiece but why not ! =)

ayumisrael 7th April 2014 10:28 AM

The Hello new me part is extremely catchy.

Surreal17 7th April 2014 10:35 AM

I don't like the preview but hopefully the full song is good.

Yoake 7th April 2014 10:37 AM

The preview sounds nice. It's rare to have a cute fresh and sunny ballad from Ayu. I'm glad because when we get such kind of song it means she's happy. :)

tsumekaze_ 7th April 2014 10:42 AM

YES AT IIIII-AYU BACK. I've been a lot into her older stuff lately aaand i'm so happy to hear her voice sound so similar to those again... it's not that I don't like her current voice but it's so nostalgic and I'm very nostalgic lately. As already mentioned, title sounds like a kanayan's song lol but I like it very much! Can't really say anything about the song itself, the snippet is too short to judge

Extremely annoying.

Corvina 7th April 2014 11:07 AM

Apart from her voice the preview sounds quite nice.
Hm, hopefully she sings normal in the verses.
I'm really curious what'll happen next with her schedule, the album and this song.

x-megumi-x 7th April 2014 11:48 AM

I don't like the preview, I usually don't like "cute" songs and the "hello new me" part is kind of annoying...
Waiting for a longer snippet / full song to have a proper judgement. :)

SKYia 7th April 2014 12:38 PM

I really like the title, it's kinda cute and refreshing, can't say much about the song yet.

AyUmIXx 7th April 2014 01:05 PM

wahh love the song instantly after hearing it from this preview:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Boj__...ature=youtu.be

can't wait for the full version :)

koumori 7th April 2014 01:37 PM

Sounds adorable. Looking forward to a full version. :)

ayuPanda 7th April 2014 01:41 PM

I'm so excited for the new Song =)
Thanks =D

Minttulatte 7th April 2014 01:49 PM

That preview was so short I can't really judge it yet but it did sound very cute. I wonder what the new album will be like then. I got more curious because this song did give me a old Ayu feeling. :3

kendelle 7th April 2014 01:56 PM

Looking forward to it :) I knew Ayu was coming back soon so this is a decent sounding preview imho and I hope the full version is better :D

ayumisrael 7th April 2014 02:01 PM

I will never understand how some people that love her classics voice, complain about this voice =P

Anyway both style and vocals sound Sweet Season, just that this one sounds more interesting so far.

pheonixflame15 7th April 2014 02:11 PM

I'm not crazy about it so far, need to hear the full thing to either love it or hate it

No. Because this sounds forced and nothing like her old voice which sounded way more natural at the time. She's overdone it in Feel the love/Merry-go-round.

pimenta 7th April 2014 02:49 PM

It sounds cute! :heart

channy 7th April 2014 03:12 PM

Would love an studio album full of songs with screechy high-pitches in her voice. Can't stand the rough chain-smoker voice she slowly acquired over the past few years. I liked it on GUILTY, though.

Let's have the full version quickly.

axmish87 7th April 2014 03:28 PM

Still in the love phase
Well can't blame her. I certainly hope that in due time we WILL have a more of a rock song
I over played everything from recent releases that fit into the rock category

xLuna&1LOVE 7th April 2014 03:41 PM

it sounds a little bit like YOU, I think. Not a fan of the preview, but at least it's great to have another ayu song.

krtman2002 7th April 2014 03:42 PM

Anything new from ayu will be accepted :D :yes

But for me it doesn't sound so promising.

I want a new album!!! I'm starting to be impatient! :tipsy

Zeke. 7th April 2014 04:25 PM

I love the sound of this. It's very refreshing, calming. So much better than Pray or anything she's released since awake me up. Different atmosphere than LOVE again as well. This song is pretty distinct. It's looping in my head now and I only listened to preview twice lol.

inspire_rmx 7th April 2014 04:28 PM

I love what I am hearing so far :)

Earth_maiden 7th April 2014 04:36 PM

I wouldn't call it a slow ballad, I'd call it a mid-tempo ballad. I like what I hear so far, excited for a new song!!

ayu-butterfly 7th April 2014 04:46 PM

I liked this preview!

Off topic: is AHS back for good?

AyuGAME 7th April 2014 04:56 PM

i like it..its different...the beat and the style of the song is kinda new for ayu..looking forward to longer preview...

i think the decription is so wrong, its not even slow..its medium beat

Chibi-Chan 7th April 2014 05:11 PM

From what I heard I may end up liking it.

Livey~ 7th April 2014 05:17 PM

So sweet~~
I think I'll love this~ :laugh

marty 7th April 2014 05:23 PM

I just expected a new Pray, what with the "slow ballad" label, lol.
Instead, it's something light and sweet. I like the preview, I certainly like the title (even if, while she's go all "I'm brand new", I would have liked it done with something like my name's WOMEN, but ok). It's really a Kana Nishino-like title! XD
Let's see!

yea, it's not a slow ballad.
kinda sounds like sweet season~

Refix 7th April 2014 05:38 PM

Kinda cute, that song reminds of Sweet Season. Its medium pop than ballads. Then again, it still a glimpse, need the full version to describe it well.

Beauty4123 7th April 2014 06:26 PM

"Hello new me" sounds lovely. :heart I can't wait to listen to the full song!

marcoba 7th April 2014 06:55 PM

Sounds so nice, can't wait for the complete version!!

cosmicfirefly 7th April 2014 07:50 PM

Can't wait to hear the full version! To me it feels like a combination of ANGEL'S SONG and Honey, but more toned down.

:yes this one here is patiently waiting for other new songs... That "hello new me" is so annoying. On the other hand I do hope her Japanese audience loves it.

spanishfan 7th April 2014 07:51 PM

I can't judge just from this preview, but it sounds like sweet season: forgettable.

Not saying is a bad song, but not the kind of song I wake up singing in my head xD

visionfactory 7th April 2014 08:03 PM

I almost went deaf with her IIIIIIIIIIIII

Apart from that the song is pretty good ^_^

Darkifrit 7th April 2014 08:23 PM

Hmmm no. Thank you.

Agreed. I really am not too impressed but it's hard to judge when I've only heard a snippet. I don't care for her squeaky voice in the song...:shakehead

maxikot 7th April 2014 08:27 PM

It sounds really pleasant and catchy! I'm already humming in my mind all the time "Hello new meee" :)

petitepiper 7th April 2014 08:41 PM

Nope

Sweet Season is one of my favorite songs. lol

AyusakiFan 7th April 2014 10:34 PM

Thanks for posting the preview! I like how it sounds so far, I'm looking forward to hearing the full song! I hope we'll be getting an announcement for a physical release soon.

owlflight 7th April 2014 10:42 PM

As short as the preview is, "Hello new me" is stuck in my head. Definitely interested to hear more.

Was the drama successful?

It was successful or else they wouldn't have made sequels and specials in the first place. It is faring well in comparison to other dramas of the same time slot as well (Fuji Thursday 22:00).

Definitely a worthy tie-in if you ask me. :)

RealLight 7th April 2014 11:19 PM

I'm gonna wait until the full thing leaks, but judging from the preview it sounds so boring and generic, something that was left from LOVE again x-x

adantatu2 8th April 2014 12:28 AM

I like this little preview, i hope isn't repetitive

YUKARI 8th April 2014 01:51 AM

Yay it's great she got a tie-in!

Deep snow 8th April 2014 06:20 AM

OMG this is so cute. Thank you for sharing the preview.

freedreamer 9th April 2014 03:41 PM

Kunio Tago is the composer!!! wow..doesnt sound like something from him haha

AyuGAME 9th April 2014 04:35 PM

^i love his work!

spring song, pretty refreshing :)

From the preview, I'm not liking what I hear lyrically, its so bland... and it sounds too cute in a bad way. I feel you, I've been very disconnected with Ayu too. Probably since around Love Again. I don't know about this one while I'm happy she has a new song I am very pessimistic about it, haha. I'll try to keep an open mind though.

truehappiness 10th April 2014 04:46 AM

This is probably one of the new songs that wasn't originally part of the plan. I think she must have wanted to do all dance/electro tracks but then decided to stick this and probably one rock song on the album.

AyuBlackwind 10th April 2014 05:31 AM

She, or someone she is working with is flat out of ideas and melodies, this is starting to become really predictable. Not really looking forward to the new album. :(

TeamAyu2004 10th April 2014 05:42 AM

I really like this... not a slow ballad whatI was thinking, but good...
and a new season of Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi!!!! AMAZING!!!

RylanJames 10th April 2014 06:11 AM

It's a song for a TV show, so I assumed something like this.

But I hope it's a B-side only track so it doesn't take the space of something of another genre on her album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


!!!

I feel the exact same way with you, it felt so bland and flat. It's a cute slow song yes but I don't feeling it at all :(

AyUmIXx 10th April 2014 09:19 AM

come on guys..let's wait for the full version first..

AyuWorld 10th April 2014 01:04 PM

i cant judge it now, i barely hear anything for the preview >_>

AyuGAME 10th April 2014 03:00 PM

Hello new me...Hello new me...atarashi...

pepper 10th April 2014 03:13 PM

*yawn*

Machiko 10th April 2014 03:26 PM

Loving it already! But then again, Ayu doesn't need to do much to impress me, lol.

Kazeyomi 10th April 2014 03:48 PM

Eh it sounds adorable, but I'm not impressed by the preview.
I'm waiting for the full song.
