I think at this point we should just be happy that she isn't retiring after 59th single or going on hiatus. Plus it seems like she's making much more money on her tours & merchandise now rather than on her music. She's kinda like Madonna now, her music doesn't sell as good anymore but lots ppl still wanna go see her live, 'cause she always delivers. If the new single does come out eventually I hope it's gonna be something BIG, like Namie's 60s 70s 80s, with HUGE tie-ins.

The song is a total rip off, but it doesn't take the shine away, it's a gorgeous song.

Oh I know about it, my point is if there were legal issues she wouldn't have been able to use it anywhere anymore. I mean Furtari De... is an alternative version of Yume no Uta but she still performs it, it's just Yume no Uta was replaced with Ai no Uta. Sadly.
As for the original, it starts well but the build-up after the verse doesn't go anywhere. It just dies out. I liked it when it started playing but chorus is so weak, while Yume no Uta has an epic chorus and that ending always gets me like wowza. Not to mention that misono's 0-ji Mae no Tsunderella chorus sounds like Yume no Uta as well & Kumi even covered the song. lol Although her cover sounds less like Yume no Uta's chorus.
