[rumor] 'HEAVEN' will be released on 17/9!

'HEAVEN' will be released on the same day as the movie. I wonder if this is a rumor...

I'm not sure if this is the actual release date for the movie. Is it the 21st? Or the 17th?

News report in the Apple newspaper (a HK newspaper)

日本偶像女歌手濱崎步將會下星期三推出全新細碟《 fairyland 》，由於對上一張細碟《 STEP you 》銷量普通，所以步姐今次落足心機宣傳，佢除下星期會狂上音樂節目增加曝光率之外，早前又本到夏威夷拍攝《 fairyland 》 MV ，硬銷夏日氣息。而同碟另一首歌曲《 alterna 》 MV 風格就同《 fairyland 》相反，步姐 MV 入面重會化身做機械人，內容重非常有意思。

扯線木偶
步姐可能有見日本傳媒近年成日話佢人氣大不如前，所以今次特別《 alterna 》 MV 入面自嘲一番，向傳媒提出無聲抗議。步姐 MV 入面化身做機械人，係一個人氣唱歌機器，佢十足扯線公仔咁受人擺布，重經常受到一班黑衣打扮記者追訪，搞到冇晒自由。
可惜花無百日紅，人氣不繼之後，機械人唔單止無人理，最後重被人解體，隨街丟棄，認真慘情。步姐因為 MV 內要扮扯線公仔，所以要吊威，又搽到全身白雪雪，展示機械人種冰冷感。

另外，向來多產步姐又為仲間由紀惠同小田切讓合演古裝愛情片《忍 ~SHINOBI~ 》創作主題曲《 HEAVEN 》，新歌會配合電影上映九月二十一日推出。

The Japanese idol female singer Ayumi will be releasing her brand-new single "fairyland" next wednesday, as her previous single's, "STEP you", sales volume was ordinary, therefore Ayumi will be promoting her single big time.
Other than going to attend many shows next week, she also went down to Hawaai to film the "fairyland" PV, to add to the heat of summer. But the other song, "alterna"'s, PV style with "fairyland" is opposite, Ayumi's PV appears as a machine, and the PV has a very strong meaning.

Alterna Revealed
Ayumi possibly have seen in recent years, the japanese media have been reporting that her popularity is not as before, therefore this MV appears to face the ridicule, silently protesting to the media.
Ayumi's MV appears a incarnation to a machine, a human spirit singing machine, she becomes a puppet controlled by people, frequently being chased after a chased after a group of reporters dressed in black, resulting in a lack of freedom.
A pity good things dont last long, after her popularity died down, the machine is neglected by people, in the end she is disintegrated by people, and discarded along with the street, earnest pitiful sight. As Ayumi had to play the role of a puppet, therefore must hang the prestige, andcover her whole body white, showing ice-cold feeling of machines.

Moreover, Ayumi is singing for "Endure ~SHINOBI~", an ancient costume movie of a love story, theme song "HEAVEN", the new song will be relased on the same day as the movie.

That's cool, she follows the same "release pattern" as last year. I can't wait to hear Ayu's ballad for the year and I expect it to be better than what we heard in the preview. I didn't like the preview that much.

Ohhh!!! In your face people! I told you the clowns weren't Avex!!!! lol
Thanks for the info! ^_^ I can't wait to hear the full version of HEAVEN. ^_^

I thought the movie was coming 9.17.05 :o

Oh well :3

Zeo

That's the reporters view of the video, not actually what may have been intended by it. Just a single persons view, not something that is official. :) I still believe that the clowns represent the media at times as well as the recording industry. (hence the scene in the room with the records on the wall.)

Thank you for the article though. Where did it come from?

Thanks for the info :P

very interestin' news!
but oh well...i can't wait to hear the full single!

thanks for postin'!

Yeah, it's a video that can be seen several different ways. :)

I'm sure Heaven will have a PV, just hopefully it won't be just scenes from the movie like Voyage was.

I also remember reading an article on a Japanese news site about 2 weeks ago saying that Shinobi was coming out on the 17th, not the 21st. Not sure which is correct.

I was a little dissapointed about not havin a big orchestral backround music, but I hope they have a mix of it on the single. Then Ill definitly buy it. :yes

I think all singles in Japan are released on Wednesdays so it doesn't matter if there's a few days gap with the movie's release...

That's interesting because I had the same thought as the article stated for the alterna PV when i first watched it.. lol.

I heard that the date was 17th September!
Thankies for the info! Oh, I can't wait for "HEAVEN" to come!

It'll be nice to have another single so soon.

hmmm... hope this is true so i can buy another single.. hehehehehe :D

Nice! thanks for sharing the news can´t wait for the single to be avaible for me ^^

This is what I presume...

Movie release date: Sept. 17th
Single release date: Sept. 21st (Japanese CDs comes out on Wednesday, that's why...)

awesome, i hope its true! i'd love to have two singles so close together...just like old days almost, haha!

Thanks for the info!!

that's my birthday !!!!!!!! =D

I can't wait for the release ether, but I doubt this is the truth, no one knows for sure, usually the song comes out way before a movie anyways.

it probably is 921 cuz a)its on a wednesday n b)cuz hikki is releasing a new single on 928,a week later than "HEAVEN".

Yeah I read that Hikki has a new song coming out(finally.) It'll be interesting to see what happens. Although I'm sure Hikki will sell a ton. I like Hikki a lot, but I'm not sure why she has such a hold over the music buying public. Probabally because she doesn't release very often.

I'm hoping that the single will be released on the same day as Hikki's! If that really happens, i'm sure the other fans will try to buy the single just to help Ayu get number. It's going to be a war again!

I'm gonna be weird and quote Scarlett O'Hara here.

"War, war, war. This war talk's spoiling all the fun... I get so bored I could scream! Besides, there isn't going to be any war."

i really need to catch up with the songs. Thanks asongforXX for some info. ^__^

-_-; I was given false information......again >_>;
Anyway...on the official Ayumi Hamasaki site it says "Heaven" is to be released September 14.
AND ANYWAY! I have the full version of Heaven...Nobody else got it here? Weird. I bet it even kicks God's holy ass!(as in, liking it...eh you get it.)
ANYWAY!!!! I got it on both my Myspaces. Click on one and it should play.

^ ummm...sorry to say this but i think we knew that HEAVEN was gonna b release a week earlier since wut? like last week? mayb even b4 that: 2 weeks ago?

n another sorry...the full version of HEAVEN has been in the DL section since (i think) the beginning of the week

to QTmashi: singles/albums/DVDs r generally released on wednesdays cos oricon starts its sales week on wednesday n ends on tuesdays. u really wouldnt want to release on a monday cos u would get lower ranking on the important oricon weekly chart

so now we know it is released on 14th, earlier than the movie...which is great, cos i really cant wait that long to buy this single!
