Crossroad 49th Single Speculation Thread I

[Ranma Matsuri]

@ero-kakkoii: I have to admit, I'm one of those fans lol. I'll still enjoy (or not enjoy) the music regardless but I do like having bragging rights with my artists. I think they'll keep trying to maintain the streak as long as they can after beating Seiko's but it still makes me wonder what their true goal is.

Me too. I don't like how Avex plays it so safe with her singles, planning the releases carefully like what's happening now. I would like to one day be able to purchase an Ayu single along with Perfume or whatever big artist is out that week lol.

Avex would never let Ayu do a large consecutive single project like that, lol. They care too much about her getting number 1 on the charts and she would break her streak. Which is why they are probably going to wait until September for the next single where there will be weak sellers and no competition.

^That has me thinking, I guess since Seiko's record is the closest to attaining it's the only one that's been discussed but do you think that it's actually the B'z record that Avex is aiming for? They have the most #1's overall, right?

I dunno, they will probably keep shooting for number 1's even after breaking Seiko's record.

Even if the title of most number 1 singles is just for bragging rights (as some fans have said they plan to use the streak as in the last few single thread ) or whatever, I don't really care myself as long as I enjoy the music. It has been a long time since I enjoyed Ayu's music so much as I am now, so that's the most important part for me.

Now if only we could hook her up with a good art director/photographer to design her singles / albums!

Hmm This is my first trilogy so its kinda exciting for me so i wouldnt mind her releasing them quickly but i dont mind waiting either

They said 48th 49th 50th consecutive single project or something like that.

BUT ALL OF HER SINGLES ARE CONSECUTIVE. 34th, 35th, and 36th singles were also consecutive, that's just what the word means.

They are definitely not a trilogy as far as theme goes. I'm glad they aren't to be honest.

This

[thinkingoutloud89]

nope it wasn't
these are just 3 singles "on the road" to her 50th single anni

[Hextan]

Well I think what they said was "3 single project" which is definitely isn't the same as if they said "Trilogy single project" or something like that, don't you think?

[Max_ZZZ]

but then what's the significance of pointing out these three singles would be consecutive? seems a buit random if it's irrelevent.

I think it's a mistake on their part to call it that. imo what they really mean is these next 3 singles are a count down to her 50th and grand single.

Yeah but even so, that would mean they would have to release them much more quickly than normal right? I mean if she were to go her normal pace, we wouldn't get single #50 until next year...

Maybe that's how they intended it at first, but now that the tour name has been changed, it seems that everything is up in the air... ugh.

[Max_ZZZ]

ya LOL so many unanswered questions and speculation, it is up to crossroad to dispell everything

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Then the three singles in three months just people making assumptions...? I thought it was official news it would be arranged like that.

Nothing is set in stone until it has already happened. Besides this is a forum, if we didn't speculate, what would we talk about? 10 threads about how we like the single and agree that it will be released real soon?

I get your point, but it's annoying when people think that all this speculation is, indeed, fact, because they didn't feel like reading through 39457 pages of chatter (and they shouldn't have to...).
