Crossroad 49th Single Speculation Thread I

They said 'consecutive singles project' well it would have been consecutive had they not announced any kind of special plan. I mean its not like they could just random number hop and declare that she has broken all records because they are labeling her next single #1,000,000 and declaring its her 1,000,000th single even though they haven't made #49-#999,999 yet. I mean if they're not gonna be released over the course of like 3 months or w/e then this whole thing seems really stupid and pointless and they should have just not announced anything but that she was having a new single named MOON/blossom and just pushed crossroads and single #50 out very soon afterwards.

It's probably just plain old marketing. Lumping the 48-50th singles together and calling it a project will get everyone hyped up and ensure sales for the 48th and 49th. Those 2 are the cruxes when it comes to whether she can break the record, not the 50th. 50th is THE big one, people will get that for collection's sake, 48 and 49 don't have that push. Which is probably why avex is making them ride on the 50th's wave with this project.

well~ u basically just stated why they can still call it consecutive as ayu singles are usually spread much more far apart. with them releasing this close together its still fine to call it consecutive. it does not have to have strict timing. like one per month. were still expecting three singles in a considerably short period of time for recent ayu standards. its really not as complicated as people make it.

That's what I think too (and I've said it before lol). I'm 99% positive that the original plan was to have the 48th and 49th singles over the summer, have Ayu promote them like crazy and then have the big tour final to further milk/promote the 50th single that would've been released the week of or a week prior. But AVEX didn't take her schedule nor the summer competition into account and I bet they didn't expect Ayu to make the decision to sacrifice promo for her other responsibilities neither. What I think is going to happen now, is that Crossroad is going to be released some time in September and the 50th will be performed at the final but will be released in the winter. Or that could've been the plan along but I seriously doubt it.

Good news everyone~~

LOL true facts babe <3

[roanmy]

^Wasn't this just a rumor from a Chinese site? Besides, an august release does seem rather unlikely as it has not yet been announced, doesn't it?

[zellyx]

travelin' reminds me of startin'.... but if those are the true names, I like the combination of names for a single.

[jbrat2219]

For some reason, I would prefer "traveling."

[AyUta]

I think they go good together too. We'll just have to see if they're real or not now .

[agashi]

is that for real?? "travelin'"? hmmmmm...

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

wikipedia is so unreliable. I wouldn't take it for certain unless it's from ayuchina (MAYBE) or avex

[adantatu2]

This is just a rumor, but i hope another song better than crossroad, the previw is boring

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

travelin' has to be fake.
probably some idiot hikki fan.

I meant I forgot Hikki had a song called Traveling too lol.

[Keiichi_JPU]

^ no Hikki fan would ever give the title "travelin' ", to another artist. the ' looks horrible, and traveling is too epic to ever be outdone.

but it's fake anyway.
