[Official Message] 45th Single: Rule/Sparkle 2009.2.25 IN STORES - Page 9

We will most likely get an album on 8th April which is ayu's 11th anniversary!

And again I highly doubt arashi's single will be out on the same day.
The fact that it's nowhere on the listing sites already shows that it won't.

^An album in the begining of April? Doesnt that feel kind of soon? Or maybe not.. Hmm...

Mirai Noah · #**163** 13th January 2009, 06:05 PM

Woot! I can't wait to hear all the songs!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY

i soooo want this!!!!!!

but, wait i don't get it.....

in the description it says that ALL versions include PV's of Rule and Sparkle. but the first one doesn't have an acustic ver. of Days/GREEN. so i'm confused now......

ren0210989 · #**166** 13th January 2009, 06:14 PM

tnx for the info^^

~Tsubasa~ · #**167** 13th January 2009, 06:15 PM

This sounds cool!!!! I want to hear the acoustic version of Days!!!!!

MissElin_ · #**168** 13th January 2009, 06:28 PM

Im confuced. Here it says video from both Rule and Sparkle... But on her website its only Rule. How is it now? O.o

jbrat2219 · #**169** 13th January 2009, 06:41 PM

Yay! I can't wait! Ayu said she would focus on giving us more songs this time around! She never disappoints ^^;

The way these singles are released (1 CD+DVD, 2 CD-only) is similar to MERRY's pattern of release <_<;;;; Very new for Ayu though! I can't wait for the acoustic versions of Days and GREEN!!!

I'm not an expert on J-pop (as a matter of fact, Ayu is the only one I listen to) but it seems like Ayu almost always gets the #1 her first week. I mean with three versions it is entirely possible. After all, GUILTY would've been number one had Oricon allowed a 52nd chart week, and "Rule" has the whole Dragonball tie-in.

But if this arashi band is as popular as you say it is, it is possible that Ayu will lose the top spot. It happened to Mariah Carey in 2001 with "Loverboy." She was pretty much the American Ayu, in terms of claiming the number one spot, but "Loverboy" stalled at number two because Destiny's Child's single "Bootylicious" was released opposite hers and, even after Mariah priced the CD single at 49 cents, it couldn't beat Beyoncé's jelly, if you will.

You can't win 'em all...

panda87 · #**172** 13th January 2009, 07:16 PM

OMG THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! acoustic versions!!!! *squeals*

but...... phooey, no PV for Sparkle.

i can't wait. too bad it releases AFTER my boyfriend visits me... so i must not wish for time to rush and treasure his time with me... yet i wish for time to rush so i can hear the songs sooner, yet i don't. eeeerrrggh.

do it again · #**173** 13th January 2009, 07:26 PM

thanks for the news.
that's really lame Sparkle won't have its own video and i think it's really dumb they're doing 3 different editions and each one of them has different content. at least with MW and Days/GREEN both the cd only versions had the same tracklist as the +dvd editions.

I'M SO DAMN EXCITED FOR THIS

and I think that, even if Ayu wanted to kill her streak, avex wouldn't really let her~ so there's no way they'd let her go up against Arashi. XD

but yay yay yay. I was totally waiting for these news

I hope Sparkle gets a PV like CDJapan says, though!

Yukitora · #**176** 13th January 2009, 07:44 PM

ayu's singles have been really top-notch and epic this time round. I hope rule / sparkle can continue this.

i personally hope mirrorcle world will make the next album.

jimex289 · #**177** 13th January 2009, 07:46 PM

Lol...an acoustic mix of either GREEN/Days on Jacket B & C. Interesting. Am I going to be tempted to buy all three...lmao.

blue bird · #**178** 13th January 2009, 08:00 PM

Well, at least in CD Japan it says that limited edition of jacket b&C has PV´s for both songs but I guess we´ll see how it really is later on.

ayane4ever · #**179** 13th January 2009, 08:05 PM

I was just looking at this on a different site...Wow this is great!!

polka-dot-jewel · #**180** 13th January 2009, 08:08 PM

lol Oh, Avex, why must you tempt us with buying ALL versions of this? I really want to buy both CD only versions because of the acoustic versions, but I may want to buy the CD+DVD version if I like the video... maybe I'll ask for them as birthday presents since my birthday is a little over a week later haha.
