^ i've checked at Livedoor but there's no update until now..

Amai Yume · #**302** 23rd July 2008, 11:47 AM

hmm, guess I read wrong...oh well, good to know she's coming with something new even if it's far away.
Hope her official site confirms something soon

Okay, "Shabondama" means "soap bubble" hence the straw thing Ai has in the PV that she's blowing a bubble on. The nature of bubbles is a bitter-sweet one. They bring happiness to children especially (which is why Ai is standing on top of a slide in a children's park), but the happiness is short-lived because bubbles do not exist for long. However, you can always make more and create more happiness. This is a parallel to life and especially to childhood. Childhood is a happy thing (usually) because you're innocent and you get to have fun, but it has to come to an end. However, just because you're not a child anymore doesn't mean you can't create new, happy memories as an adult. Ai is walking around the town (maybe her childhood town where she grew up) full of nostalgia. She's thinking about her childhood and reminiscing. She's comparing her childhood to the happy yet non-everlasting life of bubbles.

the A side & the 2 B sides's titles are just so ... weird

& I thought Tegomass's debut single Miso Soup's weird -_-

lol I can so imagine how the covers are gonna be look like

Amai Yume · #**311** 24th July 2008, 10:33 AM

Maybe it's me but Ai's songs always hook me. They're just something that I don't expect so they're sooo awesome. This one is no different

ayumixfan · #**312** 24th July 2008, 10:43 AM

^ lol! I agree, although RS/OxT did surprise me in a slightly bad way lol ! I thought it would've been more upbeat but thats ok =) They turned out pretty good to tho ^^

lol whatever you say Kevin but I hope despite the strange title , it will sound good

I mean over the course of time , I have come across songs that has weird/funny song titles attached to them but they sound great !

Amai Yume · #**314** 24th July 2008, 10:48 AM

From the title, Rocket Sneaker I was hoping for something like a cool dance song or something aggressive....I didn't get it XD

Some great titles...
- Melody In The Rain
- Dream Eater
- Star Tango
- Jellyfish, Shooting Star!!!!!
