I'd rather a re-release of an album with the music videos included than re-release of an album with just like one or two new songs (that usually aren't that good). I also don't get why they release like one or two singles then the album and then keep releasing singles off of the album. o_o I mean, I get it's to promote the album but at the same time a good part of the target audience has already bought the album so why would they purchase songs they already have? I like that J-artists release all the singles beforehand as it increases the hype because you're thinking "oh these singles are amazing, I wonder what the whole album will be like" y'know? It's a lot more exciting than hearing the whole album and wondering which track you've already heard that they will make into a single.

A lot a the time (not always though) the reason that western artist release 1 single before the album then a few more after is because usually the single preceeding the album is to gather hype for the album while the singles afterwards are to promote the accompaning tour (if there is one). This really because the main way of business during the '90s when bands like Nirvana, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins and Garbage would do extremely long world tours (usually spanning 2-3 years) in promotion for 1 album, so they'd need a song playing on the radio/tv so people will be like "oh we should go buy tickets to see them live."

That's not always the case though, like Mariah Carey released 7 singles before she toured for her Mimi album.

I don't mind honestly, as long as it looks natural. Not like it was shot in front of a cardboard print (S/S again, bad editing imho)

Yeah, that's what I meant.

With "greenscreen" I was referring to some other artist's cover that appeared recently like alans new single covers.
I love how she herself looks on most them but the background..

Actually for me, GREEN flows perfectly, I love to listen to GREEN right after rollin'.

I think because you have intensity for the previous 2 songs, and then when you hear the opening few lines of GREEN, it's kind of relief from the heaviness. I don't like all genres in this corner, all genres in this corner, so I think NEXT LEVEL flows perfectly for me, even with GREEN where it is, it strangely very works for me.

That sucks that they canceled the release. It's unlike them to cancel anything, let alone a single release from their biggest artist. I wonder what happened.

The single itself is not canceled, just one version of it.

AyuGAME · #**286** 10th June 2010, 05:30 PM

COVER!!! i really want to see the cover...i believe it will coming very soon, maybe this week or next week...really can't wait

kiseki · #**287** 10th June 2010, 07:47 PM

I think it's time for the covers to be revealed to us I guess

I really can't wait to see them and hear a clear full version of both songs

Mintkisses · #**288** 10th June 2010, 07:48 PM

^ I've been thinking about what Ayu will be doing for the covers..
Maybe similar to Kuu's MOON single cover? That was so gorgeous.

I'm not a singleologist, but there are a lot of time constraints, you know. She's releasing three singles in three months after all.

Although Kuu's MOON covers were amazing but I hope Ayu can do something even more beautiful

Mirrorcle Monster · #**291** 10th June 2010, 08:42 PM

I think the covers will be showed next week

Bigtop · #**292** 10th June 2010, 11:31 PM

But the problem is this: could they delay the single all because of THIS!!? (TA blog)

This is the scatterbrain news channel.

During the early hours this morning, singer Hamasaki Ayumi-san, in preparation for a recording session the next day, was just about to send the lyrics for her new song over to her director for copying. However, she deleted the lyrics by mistake, and a terrible fate has fallen over the world.

...

..

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Further reports will be made about the details.

And with that, everyone, have a good night...

!Lawi! · #**293** 10th June 2010, 11:59 PM

^I think these lyrics are for the next single, not for MOON/blossom, or at least I hope so ! I don't hope they delay it anyway.

hidekirby · #**294** 11th June 2010, 12:18 AM

I've just thought about the lack of blossom's PV...

We already said she could do another trilogy PV... so blossom is just the first part of it.
The 49th and 50th singles could also have just on new PV each and may follow the same pattern.

She/her team didn't have enough time to think about the 3 parts clip or to concretize it (they may want to wait for the 3 related songs to be made).

Then we would have blossom+xx+xx PV with the 50th single (as a special release) or with the album...

I don't know if I'm clear... Poor English sorry guys! -_-

They're probably for the Kazuhito Kikuchi track.

Crystal_Ageha · #**296** 11th June 2010, 01:36 AM

Omfg, we don't even know for sure if we actually won't have a blossom PV - and, Ayu herself said that she thinks we'll be pleased with what happens - yet people here STILL have their panties all up in a bunch?? >__> Seriously, guys, it's okay. D: There's still a good chance it will have a PV, and it's not like they're canceling the entire song or something...

AyuGAME · #**297** 11th June 2010, 02:47 AM

wow...i hope everything will be still on time...
good luck ayu!!! GANBARE!!!

Bigtop · #**298** 11th June 2010, 04:40 AM

Oh, maybe that's for later this fall, I believe, the one that she deleted the lyrics?

Ranma Matsuri · #**299** 11th June 2010, 06:38 AM

lol Ayu deleting the lyrics... that seems so cute for some reason.

Well, I'm sure it happened for a reason, everything does, and she'll come up with something even more amazing. So I'm not worried about it.

Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~ · #**300** 11th June 2010, 07:13 AM

^ oh yeah... i think it's for the 49th single (?)

blosssom/Moon has already been recorded right?
