[OFF] 42nd single 9/19 RELEASE!

[truehappiness]

Well, either way, there won't be much competition for Ayu.

Not many artists get 100k first weeks. That includes BoA and YUI..

[ayumisrael]

^Specially not 110,000 xD.
I think the next single's first week's sales might be even higher.
Depends how the single will be and what are the tie-ins.

Maybe they'll be a single in November and we won't get the album till February? I'd like that scenario the most

[thinkingoutloud89]

hmmm I also think they will change ayus date cause of kuu...they maybe ait for sales predictions...if many people tend to buy BoAs single too then they will move it for sure

[truehappiness]

I don't want that kind of situation.. x.x

She'll probably pull for a December album, to get the most out of yearly sales.

She's NEVER done an album outside the November/December range.. save for best albums..

I don't think Kuu's second week or BoA's first week are a threat to this single.I also doubt avex will move the release dates around for BoA's sake, since no week will get her #1 anyway.

[Darkifrit]

great news ! I'm exciting

Ayu won back my interest with Secret. I hope the song will be like GAME (her best rock song ever IMO)

[truehappiness]

Utada's new single is at the end of August, so is that really in September?

yes. well i didn't know that. my bad.

jeez. everyones so ..ugh. today.

Well, "Duty" was released in September, wasn't it?
I'd also like a February release-date, but ayu will probably keep her usual release-pattern.

[truehappiness]

Yeah, it was. I knew I forgot some album. XD

I was like: Hm, she did a triple release at some point and broke records for it... eh. XD

[atomicguy]

OMG OMG OMG!!!
is the day that i'm leaving Japan for good!
thats so amazing, i'm gonna have a goodbye gift!!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

i dont want an album after this single..i'd hope for at least one more single..or even two. but im excited for this!! xD

[kaue_]

Excellent news! Thanks.

[ayumisrael]

I think there will be one more single after that or two, and a new album around April because of the 10th anniversary, something like 9th studio album + 10th anniversary tour.
Though there might be a chance it won't be like this.

[Beauty4123]

AWESOME! september isn't even far away. thanks for the news!

[Neo Daydream]

*SQUEAL OF DELIGHT* rock song! yes! i can't wait! ^^

[Raiu-Ayu]

Yay! New single

But NO!!! AAA is releasing that day too!!! that'll be twice that ayu pushed them out of the top spot! She released glitter/fated on the same day they released Natsumono

[qwerty]

If this is true, then her new single will be the perfect birthday present for me.
