Apparently, the songs were recorded in Los Angeles! I wonder how when she found the time to go... [the blog was posted arond 5 days ago..]

Looks very 2004-ish Ayu-wise, hm?

Thanks for the update, Tru, Cloud, & Akane. Here is my translation! :D

Good news to me!! Can't wait!

Wow, sounds great. I love her hair, it looks cute.

I cant wait to hear more about the songs.

the first picture is adorable! ayu is so cute :) thank you! both songs have a rock sound to them :D cool!! xD

Thanks :D.

Yeah... she does look like the 2004 ayu somehow (CAROLS ayu?). I sorta wish she will do something new with short hair style.

Ugly hair. Can't stand short on her.

Woo, I love it!

I kinda hope she uses wigs in the cover/PVs..

Her short hair doesn't translate well into shoots unless it's done well. :D

Wow thanks !!!

I love her hair, when ayu was a short hair she looks so young and cute. I love :luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2

Thanks for the pics and translation

i think her short hair is awesome :) i think that in all of ayu's singles/albums that feature ayu with short hair are beautiful! i wish ayu would have her hair like it is on the "A" single though, gorgeous color :D

I LOVE this hairstyle. It looks like the one from the evolution era, I wanted her to return to that hairstyle sooo much. <3 <3 <3

Anyway, thanks for the photos! Hope we'll get to know something else about the new songs soon.

YAY! ^^ so cute! thanks!

love the pics! i'll get used to the short hair, lol.

yessss
i like the hair right now
can't tell if it's darker or not, but it's fine with me!
can't wait for the rock songs and PVs to be revealed!

Omg that black outfit is sooo flattering on her! :D Her new hair makes her look fresh again in my eyes. She doesn't look like she's still dragging out those hay-like blonde extensions. Love it!

OMG! The old Ayu is back. Looking great :luv2

the hair remember to me ~About You PV~ lol !

evolution hair again~!! :love can't wait for the new songs :D ayu looks like she lost some weight...by the second pic, her legs look very skinny.

i love her hair!!!

I love it! I really like the 1st picture! :yes

I can't wait for the new songs!

Her hair is teh awesome.

I like the first photo. The short hair is refreshing. It's not my favourite style, but I'd gotten really tired of her last hairstyle.

evolution Ayu!!! YEAH!
Roc song! YEAH!! I love her rock songs.
I feel like she noes somebody released glitter/fated before she did

Huh? What's that supposed to mean? :tired

ayu looks good. Love the pic with the black outfit. ^^
I want to hear those new songs. NOW! *_*

I love it when her hair is short. Reminds me of the good ol' days...XD

I agree that she looks great in the first pic. Her hair looks really nice; it makes her look more grown up, more her age. It's not quite the "evolution cut", though; there seems to be a little more party in the back. It looks like "evolution + Moments" to me.

Yes, remeber to me About You PV

I love the first pic with the black outfit!

Although I love Ayu with long hair, I also like this short hair, because it's nostalgic to one of her previous (and very succesful) eras :)
She looks well :)
And let's hope we hear something soon about the new single, a title for example or a preview (Lumix CM?)

3rd of august????
so she's back at japan on 4th of august to attend the kaidan premiere event??

2 new rock songs, 2 new rock songs, 2 new rock songs, 2 new rock songs, YAY!

The songs sound cool :)

Also, Ayu hasn't had short hair for quite a while, so I think it's good. She's one of the few girls that I think look good in short hair.

So her hair really is short now! Cuuuuute~

gosh, look at her legs, they're so so boney it doesn't look good O_______O

well, the rest is really good-looking, love her hair. but eat more, ayu.
thanks!

thx 4 the translation and pics

Didn's Ayu says she will tell more about the song when it's close to the release day so it wont be leaked too fast

yay! thanks for this :D

Yup, hopefully the song doesn't leak too fast like glitter did! I like her new hairstyle! It looks like a variant of her 2004 short hairstyle though, and it certainly doesn't look like her hairstyle in 2001!

I love this hair too! mine is like hers atm :D
I also think she looks younger with short hair :)
Can't wait to hear the new songs!!!!
thanks for the pics!

OMG, Ayumi is so skinny.
But I like the cool outfits she's wearing right now, the whole "I'm-glamorous-with-a-designer-dress" style got a bit boring, though that's really cool too.

yea! NO EARLY LEAKS PLZ! i think it totally harmed sales big time!

Ayu is so cute! young and hip!

ROCKyesh! finally

I don't want the songs to leak fast...

but somewhere I hope it does leak *evil laugh*!
I can't wait! :yes

I don't think leaking was at all a problem.

is this LOVE? came out EXTREMELY early and STEP you was her highest single yet~ :\

woow in LA again..
i prefer long hair to short hair

Wow, she looks great. And LA! Really hard-working Ayu, can't wait for new songs. It's cool that she posts new info ;)

Gah, I love short hair on women so much x___x

She looks great :D

Thanks for posting~

that's no where near CAROLS imo XD

more like About you/walking proud/Humming 7/4 imo XP

thanks :) looks nice ...her hair that is
I thought it was in US before I read the text~ ^^ yay XD

why do they fly over the world just to record 2 songs? they must have recorsstudios in japan right or are L.A better? :)

Wow! Great she already recorded those 2 songs :D And she looks cute with that short hair~ Just like in walking proud. But I think she looks a little like a mom with that hair ^^

ayu's new hair really rocks!And im so happy that both songs are going to be cool and rock ~~cant wait!

Gotta love the new hair. <3

I'd like to ask her the same question... some studios have better equipment and sound systems and such than others, but since the arrangements and production is done in Japan, the difference in studio equipment/system quality would only apply to vocal track quality (clearer, sharper sound).

It could be they wanted a certain studio to do post production on the track rather then any japanese one they have in hand, but even if so, it would have been enough to send just the track itself (with vocals recorded in Japan) for mixing...

Seeing how she went to New York to record (miss)understood, I think they're doing all this just becouse they can (i.e. becouse they have the money), not becouse it has much of sagnificant effect on the work they do.

Which is a shame, becouse it's useless to spend money on going overseas for recording sessions if the song is not good. No high-tech studio or expensive traveling can save a bad song.

So let's hope it was worth it.

BTW, she looks absolutely georgeous in the first pic. LOVE IT! Her hair is not exactly A BEST/evolution era, becouse if you look at the second pic, where she's wearing the gray top, you can see the back side of the hair reach the shoulders - they're longer on the back than they were during A BEST/evolution.

The hair is very "evolution"

yeah early leaks might hurt sales. but what are you gonna do? there are always people out there that think leaking helps us fans but in fact it just harms the artist.

i love carols hair

nice!! i so can't wait for the new cool rock songs!

ugh, that short hair.

She looks really good in that first pic~!

I can't wait to hear the new songs. I think the songs leaking early last time only affected sales because they're not amazing songs. I love them, but they're not her best. The songs from }{ leaked 3-4 months before the single came out, and it still sold 1 million copies (though that is in part because of the different covers). Moral of the story, good songs sell better.

I'm looking forward to the new single.

Piracy is not as rampant in japan as it is in america and europe so leaks would not hurt her sales.


Cool rock ey? It better be on par with her better stuff cos that hair is just ..

I was right when saying that Ayu's new hair looks like Momentsu-GAME era :)
thank you :)

Thanks for posting! I can't wait until we get to heard the songs! :D

love her short hair..she looks great!

not too sknny at all....

Thanks for sharing the pics! Yeah, looks reminiscent of the 2003-2004 era on her hair...(ex. No way to say, MY STORY)

great pictures ^^
thnks for sharing!

I like her new hair, it's different
yeah it reminds me too the my story era
love how the studio is decorated! XD

[/QUOTE]

Yeahh!!!

thanks for the pictures! lol. i like her short hair~

awww but i was hoping decision to be a ballad... =P

the hair is good. and i can't wait to hear some "cool and rock" songs. i love her rock songs.

I love ayu with short hair :D It's just so classic ayu style :yes

I can't help but think of Koda Kumi and her short blonde hair that ayu's now kinda resembles...

thanks for sharing these!!

she looks good in short hair! it's very evolution era!

Everything looks so cool right now, can't wait for the single.

i like her glasses. :D i can't wait to listen to the new material.

She cut her hair again? :P It DOES look like "walking proud"/"Humming 7/4"-esque Ayu...

i think she took out her hair extensions? I hope she changes it for her pv. i want pretty, ashy, dark brown with long extensions and longer bangs. lots of waves too!

Ayu's short hair is loveeeeee. This style suits her the best.

I hope so too.

あゆはショートにして素敵よね

HER HAIR!!! YAAAAY!!! :D

And oh man... I LOVE that black outfit on her, whatever it is... And those sunglasses are so like the ones she wore all the time and made popular during her EVOLUTION era. :D

Can't wait to hear the songs, I don't like the short hair as much but it's still cute.

Whoa! I can't wait for the new songs...

new songs ^^ i seriously wonder how she went to LA...ahahaha...so unexpecting~ thanks for posting!~ as for the hair...its not THAT bad, its just like back in the old times =)

Thanks for info....no matter she's long hair or short hair....both of them just suit her...^^

good to hear she got rid of those extensions :)

(on a more important note) i cant wait to hear these new songs :D:D:D:D
