The first part's translation is based on what ayu posted on her blog though.

They're very nice . Thanks Deli.

Ayumi Hamasaki’s 'You were…' chosen as Tinkerbell theme song

Friday 20th November, 04:00 AM JST

TOKYO —

Singer Ayumi Hamasaki, 31, had her wish come true when her new song “You were…” was chosen as the theme song for the Japanese language version of Walt Disney’s animated film “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure” (“Tinkaberu to tsuki no ishi.”)

Hamasaki was chosen for the role as she “is as popular as Tinkerbell with Japanese women, and has the power to make those around her feel good,” says one industry insider. Hamasaki said: “I’m just honored to be part of something that is loved by people all over the world.”

Another of Hamasaki’s new songs – “BALLAD” – will be used as the theme song for “Sokyu no subaru” to be shown on NHK BS hi from Jan 2. Both “You were…” and “BALLAD” will go on sale Dec 29.

“Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure” opens on Dec 23.

That title is the title in most other places, but “Tinkaberu to tsuki no ishi.” (the title of the movie in Japan) means "Tinker Bell and the Moon Rock."

I'd say Moon Stone, it sounds much better

At the moment I prefer both of last year's winter ballads to 'You Were...'. I like it, but time and a PV are needed for it to grow on me more
