i don't know if i necessairly think this way, but my japanese friend thinks that because a-nation starts on aug 1st, then the single could possibly be out the prior week, or the week before that. he uses the fact that ayu's news tends to be really slow.
but as for me, i think that's too soon. but meh, who knows. there's only speculation that can happen right now
