According to TowerRecords, Ayu's next CD will be called "Inspire", and will be released as both a standalone CD, and a CD+DVD package which will be released on 7.28.2004

--------------------------------------------------

Also, this bit of info was mentioned on the above link (auto-translated):

The new single in which the musical piece +Panasonic TV commercial song "GAME" determined as the theme song of image song &avex audition2004 of the "New York Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum exhibition" was mentioned appears! One indispensable sheet in summer which begins "A" and follows "H" and "&"! It puts on the market by two types of only CD+DVD and CD!

Interesting...

wOOt.. sounds sexy :thumbsup

Thanks for the infor. :thumbsup 7.28.04, a month and a bit to wait :rolleyes

cool! thanks for the info!

cool! I have a feelin ayu is gonna use "angel" as a theme for her new album cover, hehe, mayb becos of the Olympics 2004 Athens?

kool thanks ^_^ about time... any news on when arena tour 2003-2004 will be release:D?

Inspire doesn't sound very Ayu for some reason...it reminds me of Will Hung instead. o_o

thx for the news!!!
"Inspire" it sounds nice!
can't wait for that single... whole month + couple of days :|

mooka...william hung^^ thats pretty funny. once again, something released on my birthday. anation cd, hikaru concert, ayu single.

I can't wait for the 28th of July.

nice theme! ;) i surely will buy it :)

It's a single.

what's the thing about the Guggenheim?

Like it's been said. Inspire = Inspiration = William Hung =/= Ayumi Hamasaki :shakehead

Guys, stop it with Willy :mgagged

An Olympic-inspired singles? :rings

Well whatever it is I'm gonna get it!! Erm... sorry if it was mentioned and I sorta blindingly missed it, but what's in the DVD?

umm... most likely will include a PV or PVs of the songs...
btw, thnx for the news jose! ^_^

cool! thanks! thanks! thanks!

WOW!!! cooll!!!!!!!!! cant wait for it to come out! ^_^

finally!! an official title for her next single! Thanks Jose! I hope it'll be good~ something upbeat and not a ballad ;) AND I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR GAME!

Nice^^
Thank you a lot for the info!
I was kinda "wainting" for it, like this sequence of summers singles... so lets just wait^^

Inspire?? that sounds sooo cool!! thank you for the news.
I'm sure I'll buy it.*hehe*

Nice :D I want to hear Game - will try and get some money for CD+DVD set.

Yea...Inspire sounds cool. Really inspiring. Ayu always comes up with great meaningful titles to her songs, unlike some artists who name their songs I Love You or something. Can you get any more bland?

tahnks for the info, master. i dont really like "inspire" but hey, its a new release. cheers! but um, i am a bit confused. so is "inspire" or "game" the a-nation 04 theme song? and which one is she singing at hte museum exibition thing? also, whats the bit about "A", "H", then "&"? is inspire going to be one of "those" singles? like a triple+ A-Side? boo. i want it to be a real single. and is "inspire" a song or just ht ename of the single containing "game"? :confused i'm also hoping its just a single w/ only an upbeat song. oh well, i'll just wait and see.

on the note of new releases, i believe that the "&" songs forward will be on her next album. "inspire" is being released about a year after "&". its taken over a year to finally peak up to her new FULL album. pretty anticipating-ish eh? :)

yay cool!!!

OH, thanks for the info! I can't wait!

Is this gonna be a three song single like "&" and "H" or is it just featureing "GAME"? I'm confused x__x;

The title made me think of a cologne or deodorant. o_o

wo0t!....inspire......sounds so diff.......but...it really fits w/ her ^^;;

thanks for the news....i personally hate the name!!

ahha I agree it sounds like a cologne name :laugh :laugh I actually like the name though. Thanks for the info Unimatrix. I think it will be a triple A like the others....it's getting bit repetitivebut let's hope the songs won't. ;)

Interesting.. I will have to buy it.
Sounds like an inspirational song.. yet, William Hung keeps popping into my head at the moment :laugh
So, GAME will be a song eh?

I like 'Inspire' very Olympic-ish LOL ^^;; Anyways I'm thinking it's gonna be a DOUBLE A-side single with 'GAME' as one of the tracks and possible 'Inspire' as the Museum theme song. Maybe also a B-Side song hopefully not titled theme of a-nation '04

haha whats wrong with "theme of a-nation '04"? :laugh

oh, and yvette, its "inspire", not "perspire". :thumbsup :roflmao

On the TowerRecords link, it mentioned "Avex Audition 2004", so I dunno if that's the name of the song, a translation of A+Nation, or something else.

I know. :laugh But they name their products anything these days. O_o

:yes

The audition is just that...and audition they're having. I forget where I found a link, but AVEX is having open auditions for "the next big thing."

Wow! A new album already? But by then she'll probably only release 2 singles, usually Ayu releases more than that before a single, but oh well I can't wait, it sounds like official news I can't wait!!! Thanx for the info!

Game + theme of a-nation '04... Interresting ;)

Ooops I made a mistake, sorry it's a single comming out :headache

i think itll be like this

1. Inspire=Ballads...for the Musuem Exhibition
2. Avex Audition 04=Pop
3. GAME=Rock/Upbeat
then 3 instrumental of those songs
plus the PVs of the tracks on the DVD

then a new FULL album after that

BOO HAKU! NO NO NO! :no

theme of a-audition '04? LOL Hmm I am hoping there'll be PVs for all 3 songs especially
'GAME', it's one of the few songs I LOVED immediately after seeing the CM unlike 'Because of You' which I thought was complete crap when I heard the CM but after getting my 'Memorial address' totally fell in love with. Oh and I hope if she tries to pull anything even close to R&B it better be like 'Real me'. OH and one more thing PLEASE NO ENGRISH AYU!!!

I kinda like her engrish....

Yeah a new single coming out. Can't wait for it and thank for the news.

Nice to have confirmation of what the next single will be.

cool. can't wait! =P

Theme of a+nation 2003 wasn't even used in the concert....

Cool, thanks for the news.

......I guess they were just using Ayu to promote their a-nation even then :shakehead

Alternatively, they were lazy to give the song a proper title :shakehead :shakehead

Cool! I wonder if Memories will be on it too

I love Game and I cant wait. Hey whats Memories?? What song was that (OOPS).

And ayu's engrish is getting good

Hopefully it'll be another three track single.

Thank you for teh info.

I think that was just a typo on a Japanese site I had posted here around the time Moments was released, so I don't think that was an actual song

I dont mind about the title, since the song is good :P
:think I hope the next song (the one that we don't know the title) will be as good as Theme of a-nation '03...

Not the biggest bit of news, but HMV lists the CD and CD+DVD set as well.

thanks ^_^ :)

!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!
it's a confirmed stuff!!!!!
whoohoo!!

thanks for the info!

yay!!!!
finally some news on her new single!
can't wait can't wait!

thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info José! I can't wait to hear this song and for the release! :thumbsup

I noticed on the HMV link that someone posted a tracklist, although it doesn't list "Inspire" and has no source, so it's probably fake:

01.Shining Bright
02.GAME
03.beauty
04.HUMANIZE
05.Shining Bright (Instrumental)
06.GAME (Instrumental)
07.beauty (Instrumental)
08.HUMANIZE (Instrumental)
Bonus Track 09.And Then +

DVD
01.Shining Bright
02.GAME
03.beauty
04.HUMANIZE

Yeah...that looks VERY fake to me. o__0

espeically when the cd is 1050 yen

ummm if it was true ^_^ ill kick ass ^_^

The single will probably be 4 tracks, but I can't say for sure yet

um please be fake :no

um arnt 4-trackers 1000 yen? i think its like a no way to say..or i hope o_o

I loved this tracklist o.O I hope it's original xD But it seems fake actually ;_;'

yay! something to look forward to XD as always, thx for providing us with the latest news, Unimatrix =]

i think its a potentially cool tracklist if its real....some of the names are kinda wierd though lol thanks for the info!

1000 yen is the online price. retail is 1050

The track list is very interesting but I'm not going to believe it until Avex post an offical track list.

oh. hey, u learn soemthin new e'ryday

hmmm.... wonder if HMV allows someone to post fake tracklist?????

dat sounds mroe like a BoA single..o.o

(and if they're releasing a PV for each track..i wouldnt be surprised to find the next album is also a mini..o.o)

Uhm its 1890 yen guys...

It's that much for the CD+DVD set.

for some reason i'd like Jose's tracklist to be real
and remember guys ayu have this habbit of NOT keeping the title of the single/album same as the first track..
example:

RAINBOW; 1. everlasting dream

}{; 1. independent

&; 1. Greatful days

A; 1. monchrome

LOVEppears; 1. introduction

Duty; 1. starting over

Memorial address; 1.ANGEL'S SONG

A song For XX; Prologue

think thats it..

umm whats with japanese songs and the word "shine". :/ nobody even uses that word in english unless their talking about jewelry in the sunlight. :rolleyes

wowowow, i want it NOW!!!

ARGH!!

the battle with UTADA ... AGAIN!!! AHHHHHHH I HATE IT!!!

But with the exception of the multi-A side singles, all the singles & albums have had a track with the name of the album. Rainbow first print had track 00 Rainbow preview, and LOVEppears didn't have a song with that name but it was love~refrain~ and appears.

I agree with you on that one... sometimes it really doesn't matter what the first track is, it just depends on how good the release is.

Oh, and haku-san, [&]'s first track is ourselves not Greatful days.

cool I'll actually have money this time to buy it. :)

'Inspire' is something I never had expected from Ayu but it sure makes me look very forward to it^^

So cool! I want it badly <drool>

But this time I'll surely wait for the overseas version to come out :D

Wohoo can't wait. xD

Can't wait... Thanks for the info! ^^

ROFL....HUMANIZE...:laugh good one.

Sounds more like a Nami Tamaki tracky to me. :)

People shouldn't try so hard with these tracklists.

thx for the info,but its too long time..

yup i agree!

someone else on top of the tracklist posted on hmv that the "information below was GASE", if only i knew what gase meant. o_O

It probably meant "fake"

Thanks for info!!
The name inspires me

interesting... probably wont check it out until its 100% comfirmd thats the release date nor will i build up anticipation for it... just wait for it lik everyone else

Inspire's tracklist reveal???
A long-awaited single is the theme song of image song [ of the "New York and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum exhibition" backed up on a grand scale in Fuji Television ] & "Avex Audition 2004"! The "Panasonic" TV commercial song "Game" is further recorded by coupling! It is an inclusion schedule at other all 4 [ two music ] versions. a jacket image -- just -- "sporty summer" -- imagining -- any musical piece -- her -- it is the musical piece to which no one but chestnut EITIVU sense shone with [ here ] DVD -- the promotion clip of "Inspire" -- inclusion

HMV
this single will include 2 songs 4 version
