[News] 44th single: Days/GREEN & GREEN/Days (12/17 Release)

[Neo Daydream]

TO BE?? yay! ^^
can't wait to hear em all! ^^

props for the GreenDay comment lol

[Coelacanth]

Yey! I'm so souped for this.

'Days' doesn't really tell me what the song will sound like, but I'm going to bet it's some kind of ballad, possibly one that would suit Kouhaku and FNS at the end of the year.

I was thinking a totally kick-butt futuristic trance arrangement but both would be great. I'm a total trance head though, lol.

Agreed!

[Olw---A]

I just can't wait but I don't see any interest by multiply the number of version again... Avex should be careful with that not to loose fans and discourage the others to buy some Ayu material...

[AyUta]

Oh man, not more of these version things lol It makes it so much more harder for me to buy the single(s). I wont buy Great news though, I was waiting and waiting on the single's title. Now I just need those covers, which I know are going to be gorgeous

[Chibi_Venus]

I literally said out loud, "Aww..." in a loving way when I read what the 10th anniversary rerecordings would be. ^^

Thank you so much for this information, Rody!

Haha, and I'm a total hater of trance. XD

Wish they'd do a complete revamp for a 10th anniversary tho. Like
rock > techno
techno > rock
ballad > upbeat
upbeat > ballad

or w/e you know

The opposite, they are doing it to sell more and as we see that sales are good with this method (and avex earn a lot by doing it) and making people interested and you won't see japanese fans protesting against it so there's nothing to worry =P.

Besides GREEN ayu wrote in TA blog she recorded a kakkoii song which means rockish or up beat. (unless if GREEN is the kakkoii and can be looked as kakkoii as ayu means it).

[Kazeyomi]

Uhm, I don't think Days will be a ballad.
A single with 2 ballads? Strange..
I hope Days will not be a rockish song, I'm a little bit tired of those kind of songs. I want another ubercuteelectrorock song like STEP you

[bluegie]

Finally a new single..

I just hope she's not gonna ruin LOVE~Destiny~ or TO BE. tbh, I dun really like any of her 10th Anniversary version songs so far...

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

Woot! I haven't been this excited for a new Ayu release in quite some time. Hopefully the 4 new covers will be gorgeous (ditch the photographer turned director already!) and that Ayu can pimp out LOVE ~Destiny~ so I might have a chance for liking it!
Trance for TO BE is an awesome idea!

Kinda like the Version J of WHATEVER? XD

Anyway, I'm so stoked! I love the titles, and I love the GREEN preview. I have really good feelings about this single!

[[taskin.ayu]]

I wonder if she will have a CDL this year, since the release date is very close. Maybe she can use CDL as promotion?

She's done it before, releasing an album on January 1st after a christmas single. As with B&D and (m)u. So an album is still possible then.

but in THAT year, B&D was already her fourth single and 7th and 8th song of that year...so it was not difficult to record another 6 more and just make an album..

currently she only has Life (assuming its gonna be in the album)..and THIS single. and thats really..little

I hope in 3 weeks time! haha...first week of Nov would be nice XD
they can release Days at the end of Nov..hahaha

o man..it's two months and now they got us pumped but Avex wont show the MVs so early right?..unless Ayu starts doing early promo like fairyland which was 2 months before the release also

I wish she would too, but imagine the complaints & whining from fans that would result.

Like I can imagine a pop/punk version of LOVE ~Destiny~ that's like, REALLY freaking fast. And it's FUN in my head. But everyone would freak out. "OMG the song is ruined forever". Uh, no it's not. Go play A BEST. There it is, right there. If you don't like the new one, don't listen to it. It's not like you don't still have the old version.

But for the sake of pandering, songs like "Who..." only get slight beef-ups. Honestly, if you're gonna keep it almost exactly the same as the original, what's the point of doing it? As much as I didn't like "Who... (across the universe)" on A BALLADS, it's a totally different take on the song and I appreciate it's existence, you know?

That said, I at least hope that "TO BE" is still pretty.

[Kazeyomi]

lol there are too much pessimists, at the moment I like all of her 10th anniversary version's songs.
And the DoY arrangement its really underrated (and hated, lol)

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

wow
awesome!! xDD

at least we got single bfore this year is finished D:

and yeah... with all these different versions AVEX is gonna eat our money AGAIN

D:

gosh... now with the economic problem, I may get the single or the calendar xDDD

the single of course

[taskinillusion]

:O Finally!!! An official announcement! TWO PVs?! That is wonderful news! And more re-recorded older songs too! YAY for December, the best month of the year!

yes, you can edit and cancel your order, but you don't have to email them. you can do it yourself at the customer account. see my screencap below?
