To be free was in an au CM ? *failed mode
I don't know but it's safe to say that a new album will drop shortly after To be free is released I think Johnny's trying to dominate June/July again cos 7th July , Hey ! Say ! JUMP's debut album JUMP NO.1 will drop also x)

 WHAT!!? Why are they releasing ONLY ONE SONG!? Same thing as ikimono-gakari's "Arigatou" single back on May? And why is the Johnny's group starting to LOVE July 7, 2010!? At least Ayu's NOT going to compete on July 14th, safe from a possible threat - or maybe not... Remember when Arashi's "Troublemaker" in their second week OUTSOLD ikimono-gakari's "Nostalgia" just in their first week? Oh no, this is quite concerning... I'm kind of concerned here because Arashi might just run away again and could be spoiling what it could be Ayu's year and making it Arashi's year again, even though Ayu's single (MOON/blossom) will be releasing on the 14th... I don't know if this can really affect Ayu's #1 streak...

Well it's only one version so doubts that they will sell more than Ayu's first week with their second...
I'm so tired of singles though!! Well my wallet is anyway... I want an album!!!! |

O_O Everything , My Girl , Troublemaker , Monster & To be free ? If that's the case man , the album tracks are going to be & HAVE to be really really really really good I don't want another Dream"A"Live to happen again .__. OR they can pull a KAT-TUN & put To be free in the 10th album xD

I might need some analysis here, but first of all, the thing is that if fans are expecting for a possible album, it might be coming up later on maybe in August or such, as usually if this is just a single song in a single and that's all, and maybe before then there will be an upcoming album that the single is actually in the album, this single might just be considered by myself "useless"!
Here's how my analysis goes among "summer singles" (any Arashi singles released in July or August)
And when we take a look at Troublemaker's second week sales: #2, 64,632 What about Ayu's second week sales? Remember, her last single "You were... / BALLAD" had a double week in their first week, but I decided to put it here for reference; the last one that was regular was last year's "Sunrise / Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~" - here's the stats:
I don't know if this is quite concerning, but I think Ayu can make it through. The fact that Arashi's song is quite a bit slower tempo compared to the "Troublemaker" and "Monster" singles released earlier this year, as well as greater (earlier) planning for Ayu's 48th (MOON/blossom), 49th and 50th singles (which can equate that people are starting to buy this such item all because they want that preview for the 49th single!), I hope Ayu can get #1 there. But already Arashi's single is sold out for pre-order, while Ayu's still not, though with four choices and the first press releases are still available, I think she can make it, and there's still time (longer time) that the first press can sell out. At Arashi's pace for summer singles on the other hand, they don't produce such 500,000+ sales, but they're still going to be great hits for summer; however, Ayu's much more planned and I hope her fans will be really crazy for this single. (And I hope both Ayu and Arashi come on Music Station at the same time for the summer!) And already, this would be Arashi's 5th single since not releasing an album (except All the BEST! 1999-2009, which did not include "Everything"), and five singles are MORE than enough to fit in an album! (Except there's only five A-sides for Arashi, and generally Arashi does NOT release B-sides of their singles into their albums; Ayu only released two singles that would be in the Rock'n'Roll Circus album, but both of the singles were double A-sides, and as always, Ayu's B-sides are also included in her albums; as such, "RED LINE ~for TA~" was included in the RnRC album!) Also, I have another thing to say: Are all of Arashi's works (along with other Johnny's artists such as Hey! Say! JUMP and KAT-TUN) available on iTunes (including Japan) or not? And if not, why?

I can definitely see this being the lead-in single to the album. More and more artist release a small (one song) single a month or less in advance of the album. |

i think with only one edition (& it's limited, right?) the new single won't produce the amount of a second week as "Monster," imho. i think Ayu is safe for the most part (unless JE drops a KinKi Kids single or something that week, lol).
& yeah, full songs & singles aren't on iTunes. most fangirls buy the physical copies anyway, right? the bonuses are the sole reason i buy JE stuff. it's true!

yes , To be free is limited & only released in CD + DVD's format & there's a 1st press item involved , just like for Aozora Pedal & Ashita no Kioku / Crazy Moon
it's safe to say that a new album will follow very soon for sure cos if that's the case , why JStorm doesn't allow the single to be released in CD only format ? anyway ayumi will be safe from this . MOON / blossom is going to be released in 4 editions I wouldn't be surprised if To be free's sales will be lower than Monster & Troublemaker overall I feel sorry for the fangirls who have to buy each & every single of them , it burns literally

I'm guessing this will be some sort of Everything effect ... it will still sell more than a lot of other groups can manage, but not nearly as much as the other singles XD

it doesn't have a strong tie in except the song's featured in the ad of Mitsuya Cider which Sakura appeared in Even if I don't like To be free , it still can sell cos well it's ARASHI & all a bit off topic but Mitsuya Cider tastes like 100-Plus according to my younger sister xD
