[Jan - 2006]Sweetbox's new album - Bold and Delicious [Ayu-related]
 

"I've added the unofficial & incomplete tracklisting for the upcoming album, those are the songs that Jade performed a few days ago in Japan, and some of them might not even get on the album!And some of you've already heard Ayu's versions of the songs, including her latest single Rainy Day, Jade's song (Rainy Day) will be called Every Step, and hopefully it might be a theme song for the International versions of Onimusha 4, but that's just me hoping."
--from fansite of Sweetbox

It seems that all the songs on (miss)understood are being recovered by Jade. >< Argh. xD

REMEMBER PEOPLE:

Ayu was approached by GEO with 12 songs on a disc or something that had Jade singing the songs roughly with the music in the background. These songs were indeed originally for SWEETBOX's use, but GEO gave permission for Ayu to use them. :p

Hopefully, ayu doesn't do this again.

edit:
Thing is, that these songs will most likely be arranged/mixed differently in the Bold and Delicious album for Sweetbox..

What's wrong Break Down? It is actually a good song, I heard it from Raw Treasures album.
As a Sweetbox fan, I'll look forward to this album. I'm curious to hear the English version of the songs.
I just hope that some die-hard, overreactive Ayu fans wouldn't bash on Jade once this album comes out, like calling her an Ayu-copycat or something, although Sweetbox did wrote the songs at the first place. If only they'll give Sweetbox a try...

After all, the songs were composed by GEO himself, so I don't think they'd have any grounds for the copycat argument.

Hmm, sounds very interesting indeed. Looking forward to listening the songs.

Let's hope so :) !

I said that for Break Down cause it was that rumor song that was c/w Startin', you know? LOL

Ewwww ~

To truehappiness: ah I see now.
This is exactly what I meant :rolleyes .

gross, Jade's voice sucks.

rumor may have been true

I'm not really happy that two artists are releasing the same songs, regardless of what language they're in.

Copycat thingie is sort of blah since Jade was going to release these anyway.. just that Ayu got a hold of them before she got to record/release. Most of them anyway.

I bet the lyrics are going to be sort of.. blander than usual. :\ 'IT's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day, I wonder what it's like innn that plaaceee'

DANG !!!!!!!!!!!!! i thought rainy day and Ladies night are exclusive to AYu

Yeah, me neither. Didn't Sweetbox also cover the English version of Koda Kumi's songs "Real Emotion" and "1000 Words"?

Woah half of Ayu's discography is on Sweetbox's..

who is Jade / SWEETBOX is she japanese or american artists
and this is so wrong
ayu shudnt use GEO of SWEETBOX ...
this is pretty lame
but i want to hear the english version of those songs !!

Source from Wikipedia:

Jade is singing 5 songs on this album, already sung by Ayumi Hamasaki, GEO wrote the songs for Sweetbox but gave permission to Ayumi to sing the songs.

Those songs are as follows:

Bold and Delicious
Pride
Ladies' Night
Every Step:- Ayumi's Rainy Day
Beautiful Day

Well, I'm just curoius about why Sweetbox's new album will be released inJapan. Doesn't that mean competing on sales with AYU?? I guess~~

I've heard Jade's voice and I think she has a sexy and sweet voice.(pretty good)
But in terms of the 5 songs above I prefer AYU's voice^^!
AYU certainly has an incredible charisma for both voice and appearance!!

Jade's voice ROX! :D I love about all sweetboz songs. Except.....ironically.......in the corner :P.... Can't wait to hear english versions of ayu-songs, cos that's always awesome. The only thing better than hearing Ayu-songs in english is.....Ayu singing the english versions herself :P

I HONESTLY HATE THIS KIND OF THINGS!! i'm not hating sweetbox or ayu, but... i donno... it makes everything so UNORIGINAL!!!

Yeah, I agree! No-one's copying the other one, but still... Ayu's songs on (miss) Understood don't feel so personal anymore... Still, as an Ayu-fan, I'm sure Ayu's are better lyricswise, hehe!

well.. personally i dun mind jade/sweetbox doing that cuz GEO composed them anywayz. PLUS I won't listen to Jade anywayz so it doesn't matter to me.
