Happy Posting

The text has been on it since the cover first surfaced...

i luv I BELIEVE nd JEWELRY DAY. cant wait 4 her best album! i tihnk she should stop dressing so erotic tho, inappropriate 4 a married woman such as her self :no

ERROTIC!?!?! Are you serious!? She's probably THE most tame Jpop singer right now!! She doesn't even TRY to be sexy! She doesn't sing about sex! What are you talking about? She always has clothes on!! I've never even seen her tummy!!

OMG! That album looks so beautiful! I didnt see it yet *gasp*

oh the photobook previews are so cute~ i kinda like her hair shorter like that~

I was going to name this thread

～We are all under the same sky～The Fifth ayaka Thread

( :weep ) I love that song...

^I love that song too, strobe edge. :)

And I really like the cover of the compilation album. Once it's out I'm going to listen to all of the songs on both CDs lots of times and very carefully because I only like mostly her single songs xD.

me too , I love that title for the 5th thread *always can ask a mod to change it you know :innocent

regarding ayaka's dressing - are you crazy ?! she's the last person I expect to dress up like a hoe

but I do admit some of the things she wear , make her look 10 years older than her actual age & she's the same age as me :dead2 :dead2

I agree, like for example, I loved the covers for YwMn but really, in the live performances it looked like old woman clothes.

I was pleasantly surprised to see her in something cutesy on the Best cover. It was just her shoulder sleeve slightly slipping from her shoulder but ^^;

That's why I got upset by

'i tihnk she should stop dressing so erotic tho,'

cause she's completely innocent!!

yeah she looked really much older & terrible in the covers for Yume .... & that goes for the PV too :dead2

like she was wearing PJs or something & what the heck's up with those yellow shoes too o_O

lol yeah , it's a totally baseless comment

LOL erotic? this user must not even know what that word means. because ayaka is FAR from it :yes

anyway, beautiful pictures! their so simple and pretty. now i really like ayaka's hair :D

Ahhh ayaka is so refreshing for me, like a cold glass of water on a really hot day...

the tracklist for the 2nd disc of ayaka's history supposedly as follows

1. Yume no Kakera (I believe C/W)
2. Blue Days (melody ~SOUNDS REAL~ C/W)
3. SKY (Sing to the Sky)
4. Peace Loving People (Real Voice C/W)
5. POWER OF MUSIC (Sing to the Sky)
6. Konya mo Hoshi ni Dakarete... (Sing to the Sky)
7. Goodbye Baby (Sing to the Sky)
8. Start to 0 (First Message)
9. Kimi ga Iru Kara (Sing to the Sky)
10. Arigatou. (Minna Sora no Shita C/W)

Bonus. Minna Sora no Shita (Piano Ver.)

wow I'm pleased with the tracklist if that's true & HOOORAH for Peace Loving People

god about time it makes the cut on a CD considering that she perform that song a LOT live

except for Yume no Kakera in which I can't remember how it sounds like , the rest of the tunes are <3

can't wait to hear the piano version of Minna Sora no Shita but eh I think Gold Star should be included , it deserves to & that goes for Sha la la as well

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

P♥WER ♥F MUSIC IS ON THERE! WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

well the tracklist for the 2nd disc is not 100% confirmed yet so hold your horses on that !

if you realise the packaging for the 2CDs + photobook , it's kinda like the limited edition for ARASHI's All the BEST !

from left to right : photobook , slipcase & digipak

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...n/IMG_1843.jpg

& yes that's my copy xD

I think for ayaka's case , it might not be a digipak for the album but never say never

From the looks of the picture though I don't think it will be in a digipak but the standard jewel case with the cover as the back cover just like First Message LOL. Anyway I think the only thing I'm excited for the second disc is the piano version of Minna Sora no Shita..

I wish that wasnt the tracklist. I want sha la la included

I already said it in my post that it's not 100% confirmed

it might change in days to come

The photobook looks so lovely. I really like her new haircut, it's so cute on her!

This statement makes absolutely no sense at all.

First, ayaka doesn't do erotic. She doesn't even do sexy or sensual. I don't even know what makes you think she does. Second, it's not because someone is married that they can't be sexy.

I like the track list for the 2nd dist ( :heart ). And a piano version of MSnS!? That's too awesome.

Oh hey what's a digipak? Is that like a digital version of the album that you can put on MP3 players?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digipak

it can be considered as a 1st press thing too , just like what happened for otsuka ai's LOVE LETTER & Namie Amuro's BEST FICTION

Hmm, I'll make sure to download the release. I could give ayaka another try xP

Yes! Do so. Imo, her singles are her best work, so this release will really show you if she's for you or not ( :yes ).

I'm still deciding whether I should buy the DVD or the Photobook version....Help please? :(

Oh, btw, in the last ayaka thread I said that I'd miss her because she was retiring, then you posted that she wasn't retiring forever; I thought that the word 'retire' could be temporary ( :yes ).

The word that I in articles and stuff was 休止 (pause, rest, etc) so I figured "retire" was a correct substitute. Even so I knew that she wasn't going to be gone forever. But that's not what English word for retire means~ hahaha

Thanks for clearing that up ^^;

I don't want ayaka to go away forever, she's WAY too talented...
Can't she just pull a YUI and go on "hiatus" for like six months?
(Ayu takes longer to release when she's NOT on hiatus...)

Wait HUH? I thought her hiatus was long over @_@

photobook version

her PVs to me they're not really that great & can be quite boring & you can download the PVs on the net but photobook it's a different thing unless you don't mind soft copies scans of it

ah no problem because when you said retire , it means that she will be leaving the business for good @_@

taking a break is more like it , at least she will be back sooner or later

it takes a while to treat such an illness , it's not a hi & bye thing you know

LOL it didn't even officially begun :laugh

Don't think it has been posted yet...

wow

for once she didn't do Peace Loving People live considering that I realise she never ever fails to perform that song live whenever she had the chance to

The ending of the concert sounds awesome. I wanna watch it D:

I wonder it it will be available on DVD. *Googles*

http://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/090...0505008-n1.htm
http://www.ayaka.tv/index.html

due to poor health, performances are being discontinued.

oh no...:(

that sucks D: I hope she's okay.

poor thing

I hope she will take the time to recuperate in due time when she goes on hiatus

She needs to stop work like, immediately and focus completely on recovering LOL.

I read about that on her site, it was the Dream Summer live in Chikyuu machi.

It sucks for all who were anticipating it. There's no way she'll promote the Best album with lives now though, although there was nothing in the schedule to give us the understanding that she would anyways.

It would help sales, but she just can't ( :no ).

ayaka's featured on the cover of the latest Only Star mag ; 31st Aug

I honestly couldn't recongise her at all O_O

She should stop her works just by now otherwise she will be worse than now

I gave 三日月 and remembered that was the song featured in this Japanese Comedy show where a girl was making fun of ayaka xD But the song is pretty. I still like Jewelry day to some extent, not digging how ayaka can't say Jewelry though.

Wow, that looks nothing like her at all. I hate her clothes here too.

What songs would you have used for an ayaka Best album? Since History is basically a single collection, since disc 2 is only first-press.

Ai o Utaō is being currently played on my country's local chinese radio YES 933FM :heart

nice to hear it again <3

Hello! I'm back. IS there a kind people person to sum up news about Ayaka?
I've just looked the first post. The pics are really nice.

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! POWER OF MUSIC IS ON THE 2ND DISC!!!!!!!!!! I'm the winner, I'm the best, i'm brillient, just kidding.

She's releasing a best before going on hiatus called "ayaka's History 2006-2009", there is a regular version, a first press version with 2CD (second CD is full of tracks chosen by fans) and a DVD (with live footage, PV and so on), and another first press version with 2CD + a photobook! (Previews of photobook can be seen in the first post)

ayaka had to cancel all lives til the end of the year because of her poor health, so her last live was on 20 August, it was an orchestra concert
(tracklist :

1. I Believe (Instrumental)
2. Koikogare Te Mita Yume
3. For Today
4. Good Night Baby
5. Mahoutsukai No Shiwaza
6. Mikazuki
(Intermission)

10. Power Of Music
11. Yume Wo Mikata Ni
12. Arigatou
13. Minna Sora Wo Shita
14. I Believe.)

I think that's pretty all

Thanks. I really hope she'll get better very well.

That's too bad about getting ill - the worst thing she would ever do. And will she ever perform in the upcoming Music Station Super Live and the Kouhaku at very late December of this year? And how could she get ill? What's the reason why she got ill?

And by the way, is there any good fan sites that I can take a look at?

No, all performances have been canceled so she won't go to these events.
She has Graves' disease, now she's on hiatus for an undetermined time.

not much other than the fact that the 2nd disc tracklist pertaining to her best album has been announced

you just need to look at the post of mine above your reply

Personally I don't think she'll be on hiatus more than a year. It's not as if she has a cancer. One year to rest and to make the most of her wedding is a perfect time I think.

thansk fro info ;)

Yeah, I'm just wondering - is there any good fan sites for Ayaka?

I second that request too XD I never saw any fansite on her, it interests me too :yes

While I was searching for wallpapers of ayaka, I found this pic :
http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/7339/ayaka.th.jpg

Does someone know where it comes from?

^isn't that a Jewelry day promo pic?

Thanks a lot!!! :luv2

wow thanks for sharing I never saw it before

I don't know any fan sites!

I Think if i'm going to buy her best i Must buy the photobook version :heart

Cuz her PVs is quite boring :innocent

LOL yeah unfortuntaely but true

I'm getting it too but it will be OS press

it depends on which edition Warner is going to make at their end :O

Sorry if it has been posted, but I found this :

This special drama will have 2 episodes broadcasted at the end of the month, on 29th and 30th, look at the Moon calendar... (For those who don't know "Mikazuki" means "crescent moon")... Here's the official site : http://www.tbs.co.jp/mikazuki09/

ah I actually read that in wikipedia , it's just that it's not as detailed as what you posted :laugh

you know I'm surprised that Mizushima Hiro's not acting in it seeing that well , it's ayaka's husband so :shrug

it is a proud for her, her sonh would be made into drama...
xixixix

I really can't wait for September 23rd >.<

222　237　***,574　*,614,872　*60　絢香 「Sing to the Sky」

I guess that can count as promotion for the best album as well xD

good to see that it's still selling

Might have to review this...what other album releases and single releases will be happening on September 23rd besides Ayaka's album?

Singles that will be releasing on 23rd Sept

Ken Hirai's CANDY

Takizawa Hideaki's Hikari Hitotsu (S , this better leak out in FULL soon :heart)

What about albums? Singles aren't necessary for competition, so we might want to look to see potential threats...

I see mihimaru GT, which will also release on the 23rd of September, and it's also a best album, so it might going to be a "best-of-the-best" fight, but is there any other releases of albums on the 23rd that might be notable?

not that I know of . I'm not sure how much of a threat mihimaru GT's to ayaka since I don't know how their chart power's like so most probably ayaka's probably get #1 on that week

I don't think mihimaru GT can be much of a threat, because their previous best album, released only 2 years ago, only sold 400k+, and given how album sales are right now, I honestly doubt mihi will be able to sell 400k xD But ayaka may be able to so.. :P

artists that release on 23rd september

Okay, that should hopefully calm ourselves (and Ayaka herself) down that she might be able to get #1 for her album...

(Besides, ikimono-gakari is going to release a single on that same day, but I don't think she can perform better than Ken Hirai...)

thanks for posting.
I can't wait to see that drama. Mikazuki is really so nice.

wow RIAJ has changed the status of Sing to the Sky

Sing to the Sky is now certified Triple Platinum for shipment of 750K copies in Japan :D

it used to be Double Platinum status but not anymore

I'm just wondering...is there any promo pictures for the single "Real voice" in 2006? If so, please post them here...

ayaka will be on next Fri's MUSIC STATION 3 hours special belting out Minna Sora no Shita

http://i25.tinypic.com/6h82ep.jpg

this probably will be her final live appearance/performance before she go on hiatus :(

Oh well...

Yaiiiy.. finally triple Platinum for STTS. at least selling more than GUILTY should have the same certification.

woot , my copy of ayaka's History 2006-2009 is in shipping process via CDJapan :heart

I hope it will arrive at my house soon . I know I said before I considered to get the OS press but I don't know how's Warner Music Hong Kong/Taiwan like when comes to OS presses

Somemore , there's no telling which edition(s) of ayaka's History 2006-2009 they will be making

like for Sing to the Sky , I was sore that they didn't made any OS presses pertaining to both DVDs editions of the album & in the end , I have no choice but to settle for the CD only edition :(

ayaka best album will sell like hot cakes, i believe it can be the most selling female album of the year

Hopefully when ayaka's History is released, STTS could sell a million (one of my wild fantasies)

I hope so

I'm quite sure it will get #1 & etc but as to sales I have no idea since both limited editions of ayaka's History 2006-2009 are still available for preorder on CDJapan

I think it will take a while before both limited edition go outta print eventually on their site

On JPN iTunes, AH is #6, and it's only avaliable 4 pre-order! This will be a success, I can sense it.

Oh yay mine is in shipping process too! !! I'm excited about how well it will do on the charts.

i'm not suprise to see her best album got HUGE success

eh which edition(s) you ordered ar , Travis ?

I ordered the one with the photobook . Couldn't care that much for the PVs LMAO

I hope so too since this's probably the last album she will be releasing in a while now :(

but at least she will be doing Minna Sora no Shita next Fri during the 3 hours special of MUSIC STATION

^ I got the one with the photobook as well haha.

AND OMG THE NINKI NUMBERS ARE AMAZING

:hi5

the PVs of ayaka , I can download them from the net & frankly they're not that great to begin with ;p

I hope her best album's able to get good sales in the 1st week . It looks like a shoo in for her to get #1 this coming week :)

Am I the only one who bought the 2CD+DVD version? XD

Ninki predictions are impressive o_O

LOL

I think so :laugh

why did you bought the edition with the DVD ? o_O
