http://www.drywhisky.com/
2. According to Neowing, fated is a summery medium-tempo rock ballad and both songs from the new single which be featured in some kind of mobile downloading site (the likes of mu-mo, music.jp, dwango, etc.) CMs.
3. Rumor has it that "fated" will be the theme song for the movie "Kai-dan" which opens on 8/4. (http://www.kaidan-movie.jp/)

Oooo so my info is right...
Hope to listen to the rumored Secret "HAL's mix 2007" maybe

I'm just so extremely happy to see that there might be a remix!!! Secret might not've bben the track I was hoping for but never mind that, it's a remix!:love

YEEEY


A remix of Secret??? I hope it's true... also hope it'll be a HAL'S mix! they sound good!

I'm so happy about the official confirmation!

I believe in a acoustic or remixed version of Secret

I thought it was just the original mix of Secret.

Extremely happy here!

a remix for Secret!! wow!! definitely looking forward to it.. thanks for the info!!

Looks like. But willn't it be weird to add the original version into this single? I really hope that they will add the rumored version instead

thanks, good news !!

COOL!! thanks for the info!!! =)

Tat is awsom

It sure is :love :luv2

I hope it's not just the album version of secret.

That'll suck >___<

Acoustic?
Please? I love acoustic so much and it would be lovely.


I've pre-ordered the CD version anyways.

Erm... Hi..!!

Can anyone explain it to me...? I don't understand the meaning of "...opens her 3rd chapter..."

Thx in advance^^

I guess they mean
poker face to A BEST = 1st chapter
evolution (or Endless sorrow) to A BEST 2 = 2nd chapter

lol

Hmm... that's reasonable (make sense) :p :p ahaha.. lol

Thx cloud^^

Happy happy!

yes..but 3rd chapter began with startin/born to be^^

Maybe this time Secret will have a PV like my name's WOMAN in STEP you / is this LOVE? single o_o !!!!

Wow...thank you so much for the news...Can't wait for the covers!

great news. and i'm sure it won't be the original version of secret.

well, i hope it won't be anyway.

omg...I really hope so...even though it probably won't be as entertaining as my name's WOMEN.

"With the success of the asia tour and hit album A BEST 2, ayu's new double A-side single which opens her 3rd chapter finally arrives!!"

3rd chapter...I hope this means ayu will approach something different musically..like how it was different before and after A BEST...maybe compose again or use different composers and arrangers.

Great great.. just great ^^ Like it, thanx for the translation~

Wooo thanks for the info! A Secret remix, perhaps? That would be nice.

WAAAAWWWW!!! Thanks

oh cool! new single! :D

i think it's pretty smart putting "Secret" on the new single to promote "Confessions of Pain". can't wait to see the PVs!

Why on Earth is Secret there? :/ I know it's promotional, but at least make it a remix or something. =/

Also it says 3rd chapter? Ooo new style for Ayu? :0 (glitter was kinda different from the norm)

^ isn't the Secret in this single a remix version? Or did they change it again?

Oo~ thanks :D
It will be lovely if there will be a Secret PV >w<!!

thanks for translation~ :)

Thanks for sharing the details!

since we don't know what is in the dvd, there is a chance that there could be secret pv..(maybe they will leave it hidden secretly)

^ Noo~ too much hidden/secret stuff lately! XD :laugh Just kidding

Those words "3rd chapter" are getting me excited! And I'm not sure as to whether me playing "Born To Be..." in the background is helping or not! :D

Secret PV would be god-ly x_x

but the version of "Secret" in Confessions of Pain is the Cantonese version sang by Denise Ho ? O_o unless they're using the pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~ for the pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~ release (Which makes more sense...)

but still, why re-release the song ! i guess we'l see

thanks for the INFO/Trans =D

^In japan they use ayu's Secret japanese version though the movie is still in Chinese with Japanese subs ^_^.

I was hoping for a triple a-side single.. lol
Great news anyway! Thanks a lot.

What is meant by "3 songs 5 versions"?

What's with the three songs, five versions? =S

wow sounds good to me :D

I was hope how have a orchestra version of "JEWEL" :/

But I understand... Is a summer-single! Finally! I'm so anxious! xD

fated better be better than glitter, i'm still pissed at it's shittiness. Is she even trying anymore???

I love it! Sounds very dancey!

Anyways, look at this:
from cdjapan: "New single release from Ayumi Hamasaki featuring two summery new A-side quality tracks. Title track "Glitter" features a shimmering up-tempo track, while "fated" stands as a medium-tempo rock ballad that will have you feeling that summertime longing."
(Found at Tokyo-Nights)
Is "is this LOVE?" considered a medium-tempo rock ballad" as well? If so, then I am really excited!

I thought that's what it meant to but that doesn't make sense really

^ Well it doesn't say "Hard Rock Song" so I don't want to expect that, although I want something like GAME again... However, I think is this LOVE? was described as less hard than it actually is!

i think its the original version of secret..but i dont know...hope to hear remix version or accoustic version..cant wait to hear fated...and yay for being a movie theme again

pretty kool!! besides the fated and glitter PV that will be on the DVD i hope Ayu makes a bonus PV for secret or something!!

Thanks for the info!

I sure hope that fated is a nice song!

if it's a remixed version of secret why the hell plays the album version in the trailer for the movie?

OMGGGGGGGGGGG ROCK BALLAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something like It was sounds amazing for fated.
I hope there will be a new version of Secret (though I wouldn't like some trance remix :/) or a PV (a meaningful one) for the original album version.

thanks for the news. i hope it is a remix of secret, not the album version

just curious, was hanabi ep 2 a "rock ballad"? im really hoping for another song like that haha XD

im not keeping my hopes high for a remix of Secret..thou it would be gd to have one...but they most probably use the version in the movie, unless they IMPROVED/re-mastered it...haha

cant wait to hear fated either! i think HANABI-epi II- fits the diescription for fated...so i think we can expect a powerful song...

3rd chapter...i really hope so...
(1st chapter - pop
2nd chapter - changes more to rock
3rd chapter?)

^ Heavy metal? =P

I'm hoping there's at least some changes to Secret. I love the song, but we've heard the album version already. Why put it on a single if it's going to be the same?

yaaaaaaaaay omg I really hope that it's a H/\Ls mix, I wouldn't have choosen Secret though... didn't like that song, but still H/\L always makes songs better! Yaaaaaaay I hope this single comes out in mid June or close to that time.

cool!

It's out on 18th July.

I wonder if it's a remix of Secret... hope there's gonna be a PV for Secret.

i hope the "3rd" chapter is pop..again..haha. mostly like loveppears and duty :D

Why everybody compare the new single with "step YOU/is this LOVE?" single? I think it's a "fairyland/alterna" part 2. alterna it's a medium tempo rock song, not hard as is this LOVE?...

Well... That Secret track would be because it's the theme of that movie that's being released now... I don't think it's a remix... A PV would be interesting, but I think it would be like the "STEP you/is this LOVE?" single.

PLEASE LET THIS BE LIKE THE "STEP you/is this LOVE?" SINGLE!!! (Sexy cover plus a PV from the previous album!!)

That sounds great! :)

They haven't updated the English site. :dead2

I really hope that it's remix of Secret on the single...

That was.. quick. LOL

Maybe things will change? :D

Yay!!!! a HAL's MIX for Secret!!! And a PV for both of the songs!
omg I can't wait for this single already!!! Only in July... pah.

Well, it's not really official, so I'd say to wait a bit till we get confirmation.

I hope this is not going to be the original version of Secret. In my own humble honest opinion, that would totally suck. I hope its a HAL's Mix but they haven't done remixes for Ayumi in a long time, really, and if it is Secret (original), I will be so disappointed.


Because it was the only track I hated in her last album. It never picked up speed or anything and was too soft.

Either way I'm happy at least two of the songs from the single will be promoted. Hopefully fated will too, this is a really good move for Hamasaki. I think even if the single has the album version of Secret it will still be good because people are more likley to buy the single than buy the whole album that the song came from.

I had a feeling it as going to be a HAL's mix. XD Thanks!

it was said that only 5 tracks inside rite? (like...translated 5 'version')

but it's ok if it's Secret original mix, BUT they have to put the Instrumental !
I'm dying to sing that song

I'd Prefer Like :

01. glitter
02. fated
03. Secret 'H/\L'S MIX 2007' (something like HANABI epsII HAL'S MIX 2003)
04. JEWEL 'Acoustic Orchestra Version'
05. glitter Inst.
06. fated Inst.
07. Secret H/\L'S MIX Inst. (original Inst.)
08. JEWEL original mix Inst


hahahaha

But but, I LOVE SECRET! I don't understand why people hate it.. I love it.

I doubt that they would put the same mix of Secret on a new single just to promote a movie it would probably be a different type of mix,

yea I think they will put a remix of secret on the single and if people want the original version, buy the album! or I guess download it.

Thank for news!

I hope it'll be the remix of secret. not the album version (>.<)

It will be so good that if Secret have a new vocal.

At least a single version! :) (but I don't think so, because is the album version that is featured on the movie >_>)

It was just released. What's the point? :P

yeah really think rational new vocals its only been a year Ayu voice hasn't changed, same version why would people be into buy a single because of the same version of secret, Its mostly a alternate version like acoustic or remix

Secret "HAL's mix 2007" is hot. I love HAL's mix. If it is original mix, it should have Secret -Instrumental-.

Does anybody know when ayu's single covers are usually out before the release date? I kinda remember as about a month before the release date. How long before the release date did her previous 2 single covers released?

Usually we get covers two weeks before the date of release.

BLUE BIRD's covers - > June 5th [June 21st release date]
Startin's covers - > February 14th [March 8th release date]

u sure its 2 weeks not sooner? :cry ah crap...that means we won't see the covers till beginning of july...:(

not fair...:weep...ai's cover is out and its later than ayu's

Well, sometimes it is sooner.

But most of the time it's two weeks.

Secret's covers were released on November 8th. [21 days before release.]

I hope we see the covers!! soon! maybe a poster will be first press!

a possible PV for secret?

i don't think so :(

COOL 8) ! 10x

tnx for tha news~

great news! thx!
this is exactly the news i was waiting for after the highlight of ayu asia tour

I hope it's a remix of Secret as well, although I believe it's gonna be the original mix, just because of the movie.
