More like NOW.

Wow... even after that long draught of Ayu news, and then the revalation of two amazing 15 second samples, I feel as if Ayu no longer exist >_<

Ayu's been spoiling me for so long

I think "theme of a nation '03" wasn't on the album because it's like


For a nation and not for Ayu? And it was for '03 so it's temporary for that time only?


eh. I'm typing like an idiot now.

[truehappiness]

It wasn't even sung at a-nation LOL

at least, that's what most say.

I think that it wasn't included because it wasn't exactly 'worthy'.. sort of like how ever free got the axez.

[Yukitora]

It was performed once at anation '03, but not recorded.



...however she did perform it at CDL, which was completely random O_O

Well, somebody had to say it eventually.

JEWEL seems pretty but bland to me. Then again, who knows? other disappointing previews have turned out for the better before. I always do end up loving her fall singles. Except appears. And For My Dear... - okay, screw it, most of her fall singles. Hopefully this one will continue that trend, especially since aside from Startin', I've found her music (well, concerning a-sides) to be rather strong this year.

well... Actually I was a fan back in 02 I believe and she didn't recently start torturing me til last year 0_o

[PrincessAyu]

=______= has ayu retired in secret? =_= did another single release ever take this long to be announced?

[Mario]

Maybe she is delaying in the news because the problems with her eye. I think she is resting until her eye is cured. I don't think that she wants to go out in the single cover with glasses covering her face

[darkswordz]

you have a point, but she should at least announce the release date or the tracklist! Actually, the title alone is enough to keep me happy for some time

[pop909]

todays COULD be the final day is she goes on HEYHEYHEY!!

[Mad_Cactuar]

Maybe it's going to be a Greatest Hits? That's why no single release dates?

[ayuRAY]

i heard the CM's ...
n its fantastic...i seems so different n yet similliar...
but the feel is something like walking proud...

[Norrel]

Gr... Ayumi is starting to turn into Utada with her slow releases x_x

[Ani_C]

Maybe Ayu's eyes really aren't bad and she's using it as an exuse to take a loooooooooong time off! xD (Hopefully that's not the case lol!)

[truehappiness]

This is in no way the same as Hikki LOL

I think it's like people have said:
Her eye problem seems to have delayed the single as well as the tour DVD before its announcement..

[greggerz189]

^__^ Like I said...I hope she's letting this album cook. I really would love to see her wait a REAL long time, and then produce a super-spectacular album.

Weren't there nine months between Voyage and &? Of course, between them, she put out RAINBOW and A BALLADS, so...

But I still think she's probably gone this long or longer before without news on a music release.

It'll happen eventually (and I thought there was like a press release from avex or something stating her eye injury was delaying her DVD and such and her new single).

If not, a new album would definitely be welcome with only four singles released.
