2 weeks prior to GUILTY. I guess they did misjudge the situation, still canceling the album only a few days prior to the release would still be stupid. Especially cuz of an album that was released 2 weeks ago and was entering it's 3rd week. I thought Ayu could handle their 3rd week and they are not the ones to blame, she did sell more on her initial week though, so in a way they weren't wrong.

I'm so happy, really!! The covers are great and both have great tie-in's!! The composers and arrangers can't be better... except their work in NEXT LEVEL their past works are just amazing!! *-*

And I'm even more happy because this time seems everyone is happy with the covers XDDD it's just so strange not to find complains about how Kazuyoshi sucks, her fish lips or her dead eyes... XDDD

But people have found another thing to complain: changing dates, competition and streaks XDD Okeee~~

And I don't think the ayu+feathers pic is the chengable cover... I think it's only the promotional clip for the movie/you were... ^^

2 things:

1. I LOVE the covers, they are amazing, but I'm just dizzy because her color hair looks different in each photo!

2. I can't believe that they postponed the date... I'm disappointed with Avex, why do they did that? They are doing strange promotion things lately (since Rule/Sparkle, excepting Sunrise/Sunset, that single followed the typical pattern), and maybe it is just a promotion way. I REALLY hope that this is not for competition against the other singer who were releasing a single in the same day... What a coward act.

Gah I don't know what to think about the delayed release date. Well, I guess since there's nothing to do about it we just gotta stop worrying and overthinking and just focus on the single itself, not the release. But I cannot deny that I would be sad if she lost her streak.

Has there been any new info on the drama tie-in? (there wasn't anything on the first page and I might have missed plenty of stuff said in earlier pages so many) Anybody know what show it might be? I really hope it will be a goood show.

I'm also excited for the disney tie-in! I guess that's pretty big, huh? At least I hope so Even though I hope the song itself isn't too "disney"

Oh, and I can't wait for the chaku-utas! Hopefully somebody will leak them...

Oo that sounds pretty interesting! I hope it's well executed and has a good storyline, and that it'll gain at least some kind of popularity. I thought it would be another half-assed modern love story dorama or something xD

The intended meaning there, but we think it ♪ I hope it will get you.
Hmm, is she referring to the new single covers? I wonder what she means with the intended meaning..

she looks so cute! but the lighting kinda makes her hair seem a bit gray-ish, so to me, she looks a bit older, lol. but it's probably just the lighting of the pics. either way, ayu looks great

btw, i really like that tattoo in the last picture

Oooh a period drama! Could it possibly be NHK's yearly taiga drama? Taiga dramas usually last up to 40-50 episodes, and if Ayu's song is used as it's theme or insert song, wow. People would be able to hear the song throughout the year. There may also be a possibility that the song will have a traditional feel. Awesome.

I read the author's wiki, and the most likely novel it's based on is Soukyuu no subaru (蒼穹の昴) -- Pleiades of the Blue Sky/Seven Sisters of the Blue Sky (Seems like Pleiades is a type of star clusters?)

Now THIS is the Ayu I know and love. Gorgeous cover and NO fishlips.

My only issue with the covers is that the posses are too similar like the covers for BLUEBIRD. Those who actually go out to a Japanese music retail shop will have to look very closely at the tracklisting details to make sure they get the version they want.
