New single MOON / blossom 7/14, 1st part of 3 single project [VIII]

[adantatu2]

Sounds like the old ayu, but i don't know if i like it

[Mami-chan]

Mmh... it's not bad but it doesn't sound like a song for a single. Probably I'll change my mind hearing the full version of the song, but now that's what I think .__. MOON/blossom seems to be a ways better single than crossroad ._.

[Bigtop]

I can't wait for "crossroad", but it's too early and I don't have enough sense of liking it... I'm still hopeful that this single will be released sometime in September, but if not, October, and the 50th single would come out on November or even my favorite time of the year - December...

[Zeke.]

I'm surprised that people still are not aware that the singles have already been announced to be 1 month apart over a period of 3 months...

[AyumiAi]

Supposedly the singles are to be released about 3-4 weeks apart from each other, so the schedual is something like
48 July
49 August
50 september
because in october she's holding her 7 day special concert which will include all her road to 50 singles

the more I listen to crossroad, the more I like it

[Ranma Matsuri]

Btw, shouldn't someone make a separate thread for the chaku uta? This poor thing is on it's last legs already.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I think the song sounds really cute, but do they really expect a song that sounds like it was released in 1998 to be successful? Even without it being HQ you can tell it's that sort of feel.

[AyumiAi]

I started a new thread for those who want to discuss crossroad

[toniayu]

crossroad????OMG i love the preview *O*

[Kingdom]

I actually like the crossroads preview! Just don't care for her voice much, but it doesn't sound bad!

[mobius]

meh, I think "crossroad" is just okay for now. Samething goes for "blossom"

I'm kinda stuck on MOON for now.

[stepYOU1234]

I actually like the title crossroads! Think it will be a grower on me because I also actually really like ASFXX and sometimes even her voice then. It has some of her most honest and emotional sounding songs and lyrics.

As for MOON/blossom, I really think this is her strongest summer release in years (in terms of the whole package; songs, booklet, covers, pvs, remixes. So for me since Blue Bird, maybe even Fairyland) if not just her strongest release at any time of the year for years. Two great A sides, a good amount of great remixes (I don't often listen to remixes, but this are all going on the iPod!) and a beautiful PV. Covers not her best, but the inside booklet makes up for the over-photoshop on the covers!

Loving this single and hyped for the next! Go Ayu!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I've had MOON on repeat for a while today...last time I did that was with...well, Sunrise, not too long ago LOL

[AyUta]

Cocoa's so cute ~

Crossroads sounds okay, hopefully it'll be better in full .

[Bigtop]

Last check of sales for Arashi's "To be free" single seems that this boyband is now cooling off from an exciting week, so I think Ayu's clear to go for #1...

Note: Still #1, while Kuu's still struggling to break Arashi and Satoshi Ohno's sales...

That's quite decent - but any reference for Arashi? Or we don't really need to - she's #1 there, as stated, and we should also know that we still have to count sales from the pre-order sales...
