thanks hyde0924@JB for the info
sorry i cant edit my posts at present
ill update more info later

P.S i have no idea what's that "light music" mean
maybe something like pop/ light rock etc

That sounds awesome, but is it official, yes?

Waaaiting for this :)

ummm.... -Black- containing mostly ballads? that seems outta place, and light songs on -white-, sounds like no rock songs? doesn't really sound right unless "light songs" have a different meaning...

Awsome!!!
But I want more new song.
So after this, we definitely have to wait for several month till her next release

i dont know how shall i translate that "light songs" into english
should be something like pop, light rock etc

Thanks for the further info.

wahhh..then must buy both already..
new song and CDL..gosh..

wads ALL PVs?..

btw, the new song for Panasonic is in Feb

9400 Yen for both?!?! will people even consider buyin? so ex

NEW SONG! :D!!

I see.. backstage footage and the live itself..

Whoa, pricey. :eek I wonder how bloody expensive these will cost when they arrive in my place.. *starts saving*

I hope sales figures aren't hampered by the price.

Anyway, will these two separate albums be counted as different CDs when they chart in Oricon? I think they will, won't they? Since they're two different albums. I think that'll also mean this is the first time that Ayu gets a #2 album on the charts. :(

i can't wait to hear the new panasonic song >D

and that whoppin' price is so huge!! O.O;

Technically, no.. if the places switch around after week 1, they'll both get no.1.

Her competition as of now:
02/28 月島きらり starring 久住小春(ﾓｰﾆﾝｸﾞ娘｡)(2種)､浜崎あゆみ(Best/2枚)､misono(+DVD/2枚/ｵﾘｱﾙ/ｶﾊﾞｰ)､D-51､mink(+DVD)､ｼﾞﾝ､
　　　　PENICILLIN(+DVD)､ART-SCHOOL(+DVD)､ﾅｲｽ橋本(限定)､MACKA-CHIN
03/07 SHAKALABBITS､いきものがかり､安倍なつみ(+DVD)､BEGIN､GRAPEVINE(+ DVD)､秋川雅史､faith､ﾀｲﾅｶｻﾁ

Ayu's definitely getting no.1 in her first week for one of the bests..
Hopefully the other gets it in the second week :D

:D

And MY STORY Classical is her most recent "not no.1" album :p
But the price can be justified, as there are a LOT of PVs and songs, it seems..

oh my, one new song! can't wait to hear it <3
as for the price... indeed it's huge, but I'll buy both versions anyway.

I'm not counting remix albums, I thought you'd figure it out but apparently not.

And if they don't...? Maybe one of them will sell a lot more than the other, or Koda might want to release her BEST ~837693847th Sessions~ and take over the charts. It's quite unlikely the other version will triumph in the second week, although it's possible.

I wonder how it will sell though, it'd be real nice if it turns out to sell more than 4 million.

since the songs have PVs..then i suspect its gonna be single tracks..(i mean duh..hopefully some album ones too)...and hopefully there are rearranged and maybe resung for the older wans...thats better...

Oh, I knew that :p


Just lightening up the situation, since she isn't ALWAYS no.1 [but she's still pretty high for remix albums]~ But most likely, BLACK and WHITE will battle in the top 5 of the charts for quite a while, considering that these are Ayu BEST albums, with a ton of stuff. :o

Looks like I'm getting the WHITE one. XD So... none of these will have rock songs? Or does that classify as "light"?

why is the CDL live on the 29th?..or iz that the date this news is reported

I wonder if by light.. they mean..

Light -> light stuff in Because of You.. AHHA. :o

what light stuff in because of you? O.o;??

The PV has a bit of a "white" element to it. :\

I really don't know where this is going.. hopefully it's all for the best!
