Moments heard on radio

[kiseki89]

A few min ago, i listen to MOMENTS by ayumi hamasaki on air. I was wonderin how come radio station in singapore will play a song that is not released yet...

[~K+]

Well...the CD is released in HK already lah (they get it around 4 days early). And btw...Radios get promo discs to play songs before they're released I think...

[kiseki89]

really?...didnt know sg can get them so fast

[a1strank]

I think there is nothing wrong to play a song from a CD that's not released yet, just to let people preview the song. Even tho it's already released.. I believe the radio version of Moments that was avaliable for download a week or two ago was recorded from radio.

Hey, you can download it from here. It has to be out somewhere, right? ^_^ And radio stations generally do get a single a little before everyone else. Gets people excited to buy it. ^_^

I was so shocked when I heard it on one wednesday afternoon and sunday morning last week... First time Yes 93.3 boardcast it before the release in japan... They always boardcast it aft the release in jpn and b4 the release in S'pore... Anyway, it is going to be out, likely this fri to nxt fri in S'pore...

Airplay of a song is the oldest and most reliable way to promote a song. I often feel jealous of Taiwan, Singapore, China, Thailand etc. due to the fact they are so exposed to Ayu. The only time I've seen Ayu in the English media was on a BBC show called "Liquid News" when talking about Britney Spears' dome concert in Tokyo in May 2002. They talked about the 'raining j-pop diva' (Ayu) and played a clip of the "Free & Easy" PV and showed a few bilboards advertising the single/"Free & Easy" magazine on the front of "109" & "La Foret" etc. Oh yeah, germany is also on my "jealous list" too, for the actual single releases. I don't ever see Japanese music entering the British market too be honest. Most people are just too small-minded to accept foreign langauge songs. A few French songs appear every 10 years or so (Most recently the excellent "Moi Lolita" by "Alizee") but that's about it. A huge change needs to take place. But that's a whooole other can of worms. I will say, though, its pathetic that almost every country in the world is saturated with songs in English by western or domestic artists yet most British people can't really speak a foreign language to any high degree. A good example is British people on holiday. They can't speak a word of the native language yet everyone speaks English to them. I know there are plenty of enlightened and educated British who can communicate in a number of languages. The fact English is so heavily prolificated means we are lazy when it comes to anything 'foreign'. And I said I wasn't going to ramble on about it...oops.
