I've ripped the stream and made a LQ recording of the CM as well.

Oh, and all credit on this one goes to RJ. :p

EDIT: It's been confirmed that the song is titled "Stay Gold" and it's by Hikki.

There's no official date or anything but at least we know that the mystery person in the CM is Hikki! Yayyyy! Go Hikki! Can't wait for the new single! Woot!!!

Here's a 30 second clip of Stay Gold (Thankies to mmtan1218 from hikaru.sc) http://www.mediafire.com/?1gy11nx4ttm

[MemorialAddress]

I really like it a lot

[Beauty4123]

yea, the preview we got sounds nice so far.

[cloud♥honey]

That's nice but not much more special than hew new ones. I prefer her old stuff more.

[Mirai Noah]

"Stay Gold" is kind of a funny title, but I'm excited for it

[*Petit*]

It sounds good. But not as good as the oblivion song. Her voice sounds more comfortable though. Her new stuff is getting better and better in generel. at least more in tune with my taste. haha

[AyuGAME]

already a new single?
wow

not confirmed yet...

it maybe an album track just like 'This is love' for nissin cup-noodle

[alt.total-loser]

I really like the title and the song's softness is welcome. <3

[fanmail]

sounds boring. "NEW STYLE" please. -.-"

[Luv ~Venus~]

^C'mon fanmail! From whatis heard of the song...IT'S NOT BORING! Speaking of style, the singles she put out this year doesn't really seem all that UB to me either. I think she's slowing moving on to a new sound. I would say that she's experimenting now.

Here are some more clips of the Stay Gold (I believe!):

Quick EDIT3: Feel free to post these files elsewhere, just write something like 'ripped by Chimpoo! from HSC' or something.

EDIT4: It's definitely not ne DAARIN. I still think it's nedari - and it's obviously your song now!

EDIT5:
Nedari, your song
Yasashiku kagayaki tsuzukeruwa
Daisuki dakara
Zutto nanimo shinpai iranaiwa
My darling, stay gold
Mujaki ni warattate kudasai na - itsumademo

I think those are the lyrics?

Its definitely not the right chorus, if you listen to the chorus that starts in the intro preview. But it definitely has the same melody, so whatever haha.

[summersnow]

I think Nami has a song with the similar title?

anyway cant wait to hear the full version!
thanks for the info! =)

[Impracticable]

i love it so far.

<3 Hikki.

[sora-kara]

im liking it, and i hope its just an album track.
thatd mean an album sooner!

also...from the singles she's released so far (excluded Boku wa Kuma, haha), it would seem that this next album will be to Ultra Blue what Distance was to First Love.
