(ok if the chaka-uta is on the 25th...does that mean the songs are gonna get leaked a month before???..o noooo)

They probably won't release the full song's worth of chaku-uta. Probably just a chorus or two.

really like what she said it was different

I think people should simply stop thinking way too much and stop making up those meaningless titles, as the song already has it's name and it is in no way related to any of her previous songs. Just because she has jewels/diamonds all over her body that is far from being enough to say that any of those PVs are even remotely alike. On top of all you don't even have the slightest idea on what the new PV looks like and you're basing everything on what she said, which is very little.

not like I would like it either that you see all these kanariya ~episode 74~
not trying to be funny anyway

is it just me or have ayus release dates been moving around a bit more than
usually - not just this week or so but this year.

but mostly right now I'm just looking forward to the songs because she has
been working with great people and I really hope that shows - and I kinda
think it will.

Could you elaborate that, please

As far as I recall this is the first single/album release of hers that has been postponed this year.

Minttulatte · #**228** 19th November 2009, 10:43 AM

Wow those covers looks pretty.

Those are very nice, pretty winterish which is good.

I am pretty much indifferent, especially when it comes to the calendar/book release dates being postponed, but yeah you're right, though I am pretty sure it's just a coincidence

nemesisyume · #**231** 19th November 2009, 10:53 AM

^maybe they just have a lot going on with so many releases

kinda doesnt bother me too much that they push the releases back tho..
Christine Guldbrandsens release has been pushed back at least a year
ayu fans are just spoiled with so much new stuff

No, no, not you. There were a few people that asked why the date was moved.

About shops being closed; can't believe that slipped my mind. Yes, in Japan many shops are closed over New Years, usually 31st though the first few days of January. I'm not sure how many record stores are affected though and the state of the economy might force stores to be open more. Still, makes one more reason why the 29th makes even less sense.

elvesword · #**233** 19th November 2009, 11:07 AM

AYU is so beautiful in those photos, really has the feeling of winter~~Looking forward for all the songs^^

Midori-chan · #**234** 19th November 2009, 11:08 AM

Oh my...!!! The covers are like PERFECT!! Ayu looks sooooo gorgeous on them!

I really was hoping and praying that the covers will be beautiful AND they are!!!
They give me such a "winter feeling"!

Can't wait for the songs!

The question is if the stores will be closed, then will it hurt sales (overall)? Or will all the people who would like to buy CDs in those days will just buy them when they are opened again? (and there might be a surge of sales when they are back up).

truehappiness · #**236** 19th November 2009, 11:18 AM

Usually we don't get any sales updates for those days anyway, and we'll probably -at least- get a first and second day of the Oricon double-week. (on 12/28 and 12/29?)

Tony G · #**237** 19th November 2009, 11:23 AM

I'm liking the composers/arrangers behind the two songs, I'm expecting great things now. I wonder if we'll get a radio rip soon. No doubt the k1saki forum's security is a little tighter now after the Sunrise leak.

And people, Ayu releasing on the new year/close to the new year is nothing new. She's done it so many times before. I think it will hurt her sales, not because its a double week, but because she is releasing after christmas. CDs always sell more in the leadup to christmas.

dayumi · #**238** 19th November 2009, 11:41 AM

Great cover!! I love them, it's a lot lot better than Sunrise/Sunset ~Love is All~

brener · #**239** 19th November 2009, 11:49 AM

maybe the sales will not rise too much but I want her to stay in #1 at ORICON.

Hmmn I see why everyone has question marks inside their mind rite now... Weird. From what I've been knowing about double week since 2002 (the time when I am... was released), all the cds that enter double week should have the release date of xxxx.01.01. I know Gackt's new single's release date is 2010.01.01 (same week with ayu), and assuming they have the same custom, Gackt's new single should be in cd stores on the 29th as well (for Wednesday daily ranking).

But anywayz, like you said, avex will not ask ayu to battle w/ Johnny group, so I think the double week starts on the 30th this time, not 23th...
