i got it too, thx ^-^

only two jackets? :( she's been spoiling us lately.

so everyone who orderes the CD+DVD version will get a jigsaw puzzle???

I feel stupid !!
What is (a) Jigsaw ? XD

i've pre ordered mine..yay :)
can't wait!

^wow, you preorder it fast~

preordered cd+dvd and cd :luv2 finally an ayu jigsaw :love

Preordered Yesterday ^_^ But with all the excitement I ordered the DVD Version lol when for singles I usually only order Cd versions

Now I'm debating on switching or just keeping this version, Maybe I'll wait until I see covers :)

thx for the info.

A puzzle, right? XD

But I wonder, if that is the first press bonus? If it is for the CD+DVD version, I'm glad that I ordered that one! I did order it at YA though..

hmmm.. shall I pre-order this or not?...

I'm happy there are only 2 versions this time ;)

Pre-ordered both :)

Jigsaw? What does that mean? :O

Maybe I'll be lucky enough te receive a jigsaw puzzle AND a poster :D

thanks
I'm going to pre-order mine!

I doubt there is 2 first presses, just for a single ;)

I don't think so either, but I can always hope, right? :D

Well.. Mirrorcle World and Days/GREEN kinda had 2 first press bonuses right?

- Deluxe Cardboard Sleeve
- Poster

I know a sleeve isn't really an item, but it's still a first press bonus.

But I'll be very, very happy even if we get just one bonus :D

Did MW have a fp poster? o.o

And yeah, I really hope it'a a Jigsaw, that would be so nice! XD

It comes with a Jigsaw puzzle set? It's so random in the description just saying "Jigsaw" after the fullstop :shrug

I kinda have a feeling both editions of the single will not have a 1st press

CDJapan didn't flash the words '1st press available' for both links :shrug

CD - http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-31719

CD + DVD - http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-31718

then again anything goes in due time

Hm...I might order this...emphasis on "might". Depends if I have enough money or not lol.

To be honest, a jigsaw puzzle is a bit much as a first press. What do we get when we put it together? A picture of her face? O_o

I pre-ordered the cd only the other day, but I didn't see First Press...I hope I get a poster. :\

I preordered through YA - I'd better get FP if there is any!! lol

A jigsaw is a bit much for a single present....there were only a few jigsaws for A COMPLETE, remember. They're not expensive to make but the perception is that it's an "expensive" gift. You won't get a jigsaw of more than 10pcs unless the single price rises.

The cover, I guess? :roflmao

It talks about ordering before July the 7th for the first press bonus, but its still too early for the full information but it looks like a jigsaw, i was actually half asleep preordering this :tipsy my phone buzzed with the email waking me up and before i knew it, i had preordered it :D but i dont think that will be the latest date to get a first press bonus, yeasasia will mostlikely have one too.

The email is more of a first press bonus alert:
"To secure your first press copy of any of the items listed below, preorder on or before July 7, 2009"

^ If they don't I'll be mad! I used YA for the first time (to preorder a single), I hope I don't regret it! D=

thanks for the info~ :lech

For me, personally, YesAsia is terrible. I ordered a Namie single which they promised would be first press and it wasn't. :no

I just use CDjapan instead. :D

^ Well hopefully because I ordered it on the first day I'll get FP. If not, I can look on YAJ if it's sold out on CDJ. I think I'll have a window though as MW and D/G First Presses were available for a while after the release!

usually cdjapan announces FP when they make it available to preorder....hmmm maybe their tempting us to buy just in case? :shrug

*i preordered both versions on CDJ and if a jigsaw is not included with the cd+dvd, i will sell it to someone for half the price. cuz i preordered one off of mu-mo as well for the poster.

Thanks for the news

That's kinda' random o.O
Having jigsaw just..flung on the end o.o

Meh.
Pre ordered anyway :P

CDJ always includes that "order before xx to get a 1st press for sure" even if there is no first press. I think if CDJ get´s some bonus then only the poster that is also available at mu-mo.

CDJ reveales more info on the new single
 

under the "tracklisting" on CDJ there's a link with japanese info about the disc.
i used google translate to get this:

so this pretty-much proves that Sunset is a ballad like we all tought, while Sunrise is the happy summer time song :D
and i guess we'll only get a preview of Sunrise since it's the Dandy Daddy theme/opening song ^^

Glitter/fated episode II :)

^LoL yeah, pretty-much xD
but hopefully this'll go in a diferent direction than glitter/fated :P

omg soo cool ^^

thanks!

agree...
LOL:luv2

I still don't understand the Jigsaw in the description lol

Do Not Want

no way shes doing glitter/fated again xD

shes using the weird director remember?? XD

she will be walking down a Bali beach looking like a Diva and on the ballad pv she will be crying or something :D

^since the TA members will be used in at least one of the PV's it could be that the wierdo only shoot the covers and/or booklet and won't have anything to do with the PV's :D

thats my dream :luv2

Excellent.

Do people say it's glitter/fated part 2 because of the upbeat/ballad part or because they think they will sound the same?
If it's the latter I think it's already impossible if the japanese say that Sunrise reminds the style of July 1st/+. lol

Really does sound like glitter/fated all over again. Remember alterna? Now that was an awesome 2nd a-side.

my toughts too :luv2
that guy just doesn't know how to realize his ideas :rolleyes
he killed the Sparkle PV. GREEN was good, MW kinda idk what just blah, but Sparkle was killed xD

glitter/fated was win, I don't understand why most people hate it. T_T

lol i loveee glitter/fated
but i dont understand why people is assuming that this new single will be same like it...


maybe a bit more like Beautiful Fighters and HANABI with PV or something :D

^same here...i love that single

haha i actually love Sparkle XD Mirrorcle World is good to me too... GREEN was a bit too overworked and overacted (or just bad acted...)

But this guy always choose weird things to do, or he just performs them really weirdly... I dont mind him but please dont let him do an entire album shoot or all the videoclips EVER!

^i remember one of Ayu's TA msg's about the Sparkle PV, she said she can't beleave she'll have such a let's say..um... crappy? PV xD
that's not the word she used but still...she was VERY unhappy about it, so hopefully she won't use him in her PV's again xD

I said that for upbeat/ballad^^

I see, so yeah it's like glitter/fated in that manner, I don't mind it at all and I will even be happy if the songs sound great. =D

It would be funny if NEXT LEVEL would be there lol.
Secret was on glitter/fated but NEXT LEVEL sounds like a summer song so it would fit the single well. xD

ohh true. Sparkle's pv was really cool xD but I understand what she means... I guess that shes not use to do anything like what she did on that pv ^^

true, but i'm certain she also said she can't beleave she'll have such a meaningless PV.
somehow the word meaningless is the main thing i remember about the TA message :S

I hope the songs are stand alones, like Beautiful Day and rainy day. Or at least PV-wise.

i always like the idea that every new release, there is something to look forward to!! like A-complete, AT08 DVD becomes 3 DVDs. den NEXT LEVEL having a USB. and now this!!

Hmmm I don't think it'll be like glitter/fated, not that I'd mind that...I think it'll be the same melody but one played sound, the over overdone. :P

I agree :yes
sounds just like it...
thanks for sharing

Thanks for the info! I really love her summer ballads; monochrome, HANABI, HANABI ~episode II~ and fated are all excellent imo!

Now let's predict how Kazuyoshi Shimomura will butcher the PVs:

Sunrise/Sunet: TA Members get instructed to do the fish mouth and prance around the beach like the lost divas of Japan.

as what we expected.. hoho.. I like the concept single like that, happy song and sad song

:love:luv2 OMG! can't wait for it!

thanks for the info ^_^

and yeah i don't understand what it is about glitter and fated that people hate. if anything, fated is really really good. the lyrics are really nice and i think the music is great. and actually i think glitter is one of ayu's most catchy songs ever. as a pop song, i think it hit the mark exactly, to be honest. PV wise it's a little stale on both ends, but PV's aren't everything. And if people are saying that it's like glitter/fated because pop song + ballad, that wasn't necessarily a new thing...haha. basically it's H and & minus one track. As a single, i'd say blue bird was worse because beautiful fighters was just meh.

BUT YEAH. hahaha im excited to hear previews~~~

Yeah! I like "summer ballads"... she should re-start doing winter upbeat like evolution or summer slow like fated

Me either. :no It was one of her BEST singles IMO.

And I hope that "man" won't be director of these two PV's. Please no-no-no!!:grumpy

Well the last ballad she released on a single was Life (on Mirrorcle World and it wasn't even on an album). XD

I'm happy it's both new up beat song and a ballad song.
Versatility is a good thing.
The next single might be like that again or two up beat songs. xD

^ Days/GREEN?

^ ALBUM.

LMAO I totally forgot it was a single XDDDD
I was like MW>Rule/Sparkle LOL.

ayu release really small amount of singles lately. -_-.

But yeah the last single had no ballad. xD

Oh I thought with this, the jigsaw thing would have been cleared up :S
I'm still kinda' confused about that >.<

Exactly. It's curious. Yesterday i was watching some videos by Chris Cunningham and the guy is a genius... he is such a great director :yes and it's kind of ridiculous that ayu, with all the money she's earned she's going to hire this idiot who clearly is not able to transform his ideas adequately into life :shakehead Green had a great concept but was ruined with the stupid overacting :rolleyes

Anyway, about Glitter/fated ll, i think this is not the first time ayu does this kind of dual idea. Step you/ Is this love? evolves around the same concept. One theme is super cheered up, and happy. And the other one is furious and angry, but she's talking about the same thing: unrequitted love. Great how she changes perspectives on the same subject :yes Green/Days is also alike. one song is hopeful, and one song is sad. This is a usual pattern in her singles:yes

ballad noooooooooo ToT

thanks for the info~

I hope the ballad won't be too sad..

that's all I have to say for now ;)

^ Lol!~ i want the ballad to make me cry~ ......does that sound too emo?~ X__X

Thanks for news.

... :laugh

I was kinda hoping for a more medium tempo song like Life (I don't consider that a ballad, really) but a full out ballad would be okay. the Japanese eat up her ballads like candy so it would probably help her ballads in the long run.

I hope so, I want that. *__*

Yeah, what's up with the "jigsaw?" I saw that yesterday. Is the first press item an Ayu jigsaw puzzle?!?! :laugh

its exactly like glitter fated love distance ...

so nice

I hope Sunset is like HANABI ~episode II~ *-*;

THAT would be cool! ^__^

Speaking of which, Sunset COULD be a CREA work? I think Ayu somewhat has the possibility of composing at least one more song based on her past TA messages and the relaxing time she had in Hawaii and Bali. :yes

thx for the info! sunrise and sunset..sounds romantic to me! somehow can picture that! looking forward to both the songs!

thanks for posting! cant wait! :luv2

Hahaha. We're still holding out for that CREA comp, huh? Lol. I'm actually more excited that she's working with new people than if it were her. But I wouldn't mind a CREA song :O

I'm so glad that she's using a totally new composer for sunrise.....that means a totally new sound..as for sunset....I'm praying its CREA..but something tells me it mostly likely will not be.

really looking forward to this single...I look forward to all her singles...lol

Even though Green Mv is not that good but it lead to a wonderful performance on PCDL which was generally based on the MV

Ditto. =\

oohh.. tat wld be nice..

thanks for the info..

i just hope ayu will shock/surprise us all :P
i wonder how ayu felt when she was doing all that sexually suggestive stuff in sparkle pv :tired

I had added this to my thread awhile ago sorry, looks like maybe 1 or 2 hrs before this thread was posted

http://ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91639

that information was there when i posted the thread too but you had to click on a link to get the full decription

yes! Although I don't think that song is really a "ballad", it's still sad but.

^ It's kind of like a power ballad.

I hope the PV of sunset is taken on the night, with all TA member walking around her...
And yet, she sing the song when all the TA member dissapearing one by one :p
