Now our next job is to wait for the 49th single and get started if we can tie the consecutive record - because now she's ONE AWAY from the record at 24!!!
But when will it be released? September? Maybe I want September 1st, but the announcement for that may be a bit too late - it should be sometime this September, but we'll just have to see by Avex executives and Ayu when the single will be released on...
