Single from 'SHINOBI' to be released in July.
 

http://www.shinobi-movie.com/

If you click the 5th link down from the flash menu on the bottom of the page a page should come up on the top with Ayu's name. Click it and info will appear, I'm pretty sure the last sentence is saying the single from the movie will be released in July. A translation would appreciated...

I'm surprised they would release the single two months ahead of the movie, instead of marketing them together.

No, it's not gonna be released in July.
The last sentence only indicates that ayu's 36th single is gonna be released in July, which is part of the introduction to the artist who sings the theme song. The theme song, if follows the tradition, should be released one or two weeks prior to the movie premiere date, which means 9/7 or 9/14.

Then this could sort of contradict the 'dancing' rumor... According to the rumor, 'dancing' is supposed to release in August. Then the July single will be 'alterna'? I don't know, I doubt she'd release singles so crammed together like that, considering that hasn't happened in years...

thanks for the info

hmmm, someone suggested (sorry I forgot who...) that maybe Ayu will do a trilogy again..but yeah, it seems like the release dates (according to various sources) are really crammed together tightly

thank u for the info~

It happens all the time, same with Utada Hikaru, in any case, I'm glad to see this official info! Thanks

Thanks for the info :yes

Wait so the SHINOBI single ISN'T being released in July right?

The thread title should be changed to 36th single planned for July release. Wow I can't believe she's going to be hitting the 37th single mark by the end of the year!

I think this movie is the live-action of basilisk animation. It's a new anime, but the male lead actor called kouga gennosuke from the kouga clan and female lead actor is called oboro from the iga clan.. Kinda surprised, but i'm not sure about this

thank you for the info!
I'm already looking forward to it so so much

Anyway, it's great news Ayu is going to release a single in July, whether it's the Shinobi or the alterna single. :) I can't wait to hear her new songs!

wow~!~! thanks for the info....so i reckon Ayu's 36th single will be in July and Shinobi will be around september!! yay!

and maybe another single after shinobi!~!~!

Thanks for the info! This still seems a bit confusing to me, but there's not more than a couple of months until we get a new single, whether it's the SHINOBI song or alterna.

in case you guys already forgot, vivi mentioned that ayu's new single will be out in july (the ayu deji deji diary), and since this release is so close from step you/is this love, it wouldnt be strange if she released the shinobi single in sept, maybe the reason why step you came so late after my story was because she took a break? and now shes back workin!

haha..i'm pretty confuse right now..
there is many rumour and expectation
i really want an official news..
OH MY GOD..!! (>_<)

Official site of shinobi, mentioning news of ayu's 36th single
 

http://www.shinobi-movie.com/
At the bottom left corner, click スタッフ
It shows ayu's name and when u click it, the article says ayu is going to release the next single in July

Well, if this and the 'dancing' rumour are true, plus the shinobi title song, There may be a chance that ayu will release singles in three consecutive months. :luv2

i think dancing will be in her alterna single.and dancing just being a title of song not a title of single..
i thikn ayu will release a single on july and september
thx for the news..

that's a good news, i'm really looking forward for her new release, a summer single will be a great idea, i hope it's a multi-a-side single and i hope it's better than last year's INSPIRE [and i ALSO hope that it'll include alterna plus a DVD with more than 2 PVs]

about the fall-release, i'm very excited, very looking forward of what kind of ballad will it be, it said to be a really good ballad like SEASONS & Dearest, well just wait & see [and hear]

PS
please no "dancing", the title's crap...

Oh, now I hope that is the title of her new single just so you'll be annoyed. :thumbsup ;)

It's not quite a given that Alterna will actually be a single though. This time last year, About You was used in a commercial and that ended up just being an album track.

Perhaps the next single has two new songs, alterna and dancing...?

:dead
:dead2
:ymad
:tmad

yup that's wat i tohught as well, i also hope dancing won't ber her next single...sounds a bit suss....

i'm getting too hype about all these news! yay!
thanks for the info

Ayumi Hamasaki mentioned in "SHINOBI" official site
 

Here goes the offical site of the movie "SHINOBI":
http://www.shinobi-movie.com/

Click on the 5th link in the bottom left.

Ayumi's name will appear (3rd name). Click on it, and a brief biography will appear.

The movie looks pretty good, hehe. There's also a trailer. I can't wait to hear Ayu's new song!




I hope nobody have posted that yet.

I was looking on it last night and it looks really good!

It's nice to know that Ayu's song will be used for Shinobi. I think it's the first time her song has been used for a movie, neh?

Well, "no more words" was in one of the Inuyasha movie, but that's a anime.

Looking at some of the pictures from SHINOBI, i'm really expecting a powerful ballad.

WHere is the trailer for the movie?

SINGLES IN THREE CONSECUTIVE MONTHS!! I hope it's true. It would be great! :D

OMG!!!! this is sooo cool! i just saw ayu's pic there! :P

and di anyone notice that Yukie Nakama is there as well? u might remind her as the Ringu girl! from... Ringu 0...! i love yukie Nakama so much! :D

this is so cool! :D

Ahhh... Honestly, i think there gonna be a single release around July which's the Summer single. I believe "Alterna" gonna be in the Summer single if i'm nut wrong. Plus, i think the Summer single ain't gonna be "Dancing" ,but sumefin' else though. It's jost a rumor! I mean if it's official i believe all over Japan should know it before any other country. As for the theme song of "Shinobi" as the fall single ,it gonna be release around few month after the Summer single which will be like 1 or 2 month. This is only wot i think, but i might be wrong! Who knows! :irked

If the Summer single gonna be call "Dancing" then i'm totally no way to say! :shakehead Then i'd be wishin' that it can be rename into one of those rumor single title like "MAGIC" or "Alterna". Hehehe... :lech At least it sound better than... "Dancing"! :headache Ouch!

Thanks for the info! I think that the single in July will be a summer single (maybe with "Alterna" on it), and the single for "SHINOBI" will come out a few weeks before the movie.

prolly BUT I CANT WAIT THAT LONG! lol

thanks for the great info

Wonderful news! It looks like this movie will rock, and so the theme song! =D

oh~ great news

I like you. :yes

That's so sweet. :)

I don't think ayu will do trilogy PV again because "vogue, far away, SEASONS" is a typical PV that makes ayu famous especially SEASONS. Many Japanese like this song lyrics actually; they think it's very true in the real life.

someone on this forum has already say that dancing is going to someone else's song not Ayu, according to Sanspo

geez, i'm completely confused...

i wouldnt object if she releases a single in july then another one in september, but now it seems it is unlikely as fairyland will be released in august

confused about what? you shouldn't take rumors as facts
