Anyways...You & Me PART DEUX!? Is this a "sequel" to the original Y&M song?
it's actually strange because GACKT is also with Avex but probably with different label of theirs cuz he doesn't have that crap. The PVs air on TV eatlier than the release date. like now the new single should be out only at the end of this month but the full PV of the single aired more than a week ago. And he already performed the song live on TV like twice. I'd like them to do the same with Ayu, honestly... I somehow have this feeling that Avex is all about money and sales at some point. Tho acording to some fans who follow the charts he's always been in top ten.....

People are complaining because they had ridiculous expectations. We won't get a leak of something released three days later than usual on the Saturday before. Getting it Tuesday or Wednesday(more likely) is a more realistic expectation.

I guess its because usually when a CD is released on Wednesday proper, we get leaks (esp Ayu's) by the weekend before and thats 4-5 days before the actual release. Hence, from such experience, it should be within these 2 days. LOVE leaked 5 days before its release, so most are expecting it to be soon..

but well, tmr's tuesday! Let's hope for the best (and hope CDJapan can ship out asap hahaha)

^That's what is assumed, haven't you seen the last vivi ?
I hope it will not only be something like :
You & Me: they break up
wake me up: she dates the other one
snowy kiss: back together

I think You & Me might be a summary of everything that happened from beginning to end? Or You & Me is Ayu's adventures with Maro while dating him on the side?

The approach seems to be a bit like Virgin Road since Love song happens first then Last angel... which loops into Virgin Road kind of? So in this case You & Me would come 'last'.

I always found it pointlessly mind-blowing

I'd personally rather have 3 separate PVs for 3 separate songs unless the story is really captivating. Not that they're bad, but I remember feeling a bit cheated that glitter or fated ended up stuck with one concept along with Love song/Last angel, and now Wake me up/snowy kiss. Now she's done it 3 times in the last 5 years which is more than she did in the first 9 years of her career (vogue ~ Far away ~ SEASONS only?)

Now that I think about it, I wonder if glitter/fated counted as the "Tomoya" set of PVs since they also broke up just before or after that single.

I agree. I'm a little bummed that we're getting *another* trilogy series similar to Virgin Road/Love Song/Last Angel. Especially after hearing the previews for Wake me up and snowy kiss, I would've like to have seen separate PVs for them, instead of a continuation of You and Me.

Oh well. Hopefully the storyline will be well done.

glitter/fated is really amazing IMO, it had a very interesting (even if predictable) story
vogue~Far away~SEASONS is kind of boring and there is nothing really interesting happening. But is artistic and i like the art direction
Virgin Road was amazing as a PV, but the Love Song/Last Angel was confusing

I always think of the Love songs trilogy as if there are two couples: The thief couple, shown on Virgin Road, and the normal one who lives in NY. Virgin Road just shows the beginning of the thief couple and nothing more. The NY couple lived happily but that Mannie cheated on that ayu and when she discovered it, she got so upset and mad that she killed him, and that's why she's so depressive and full of guilty, the weight of it smashes her and is almost driving her crazy, like in those scenes in which she think she's being followed in Last angel. That's actually nobody, but the phantom of her own guilty. When she decided to move on from that dramatic and terrific love, the thief couple was in NY and they were scaping from that bank, and she got in the middle of the thing, got shot and died. Once dead, she could finally meet again with Mannie, free of her sins.

No. I'm not high.

But this is not the right thread, aaaaaand I expect this trilogy to be as confusing as this one.
