That's what Ayu's been releasing for the past like 2-3 years :p

The same goes for Koda ... I don't think any avex artist is still releasing "ordinary" singles, they're simply out of fashion.

^unless they have the confidence that the song will be a MAJOR hit.

darkswordz · #27 13th October 2006, 01:52 PM

it is a single in my opinion

a low selling one even, as compared to A =X

It's a very good selling single considering how single sales look nowdays.

Very low compared to A though.

Maxi singles refer to the size of the disc (correct me if I wrong).

immel · #30 13th October 2006, 07:55 PM

It refers to the contents of the disc.

Definitions vary from music industry to music industy, country wise.

well in fact, a lot of singles lately failed to sell so much. A was during the VERY good times....

i feel so sad. i just read in the papers that the last Singapore outlet of tower Records had shut down last week....and even HMV sales had been dereasing 30% every year. more and more people are downloading/burning instead of buying....

Mad_Cactuar · #32 14th October 2006, 05:32 AM

^ evil people download and burn.

LacusClyne · #33 14th October 2006, 05:36 AM

well there are a lot of people here in Singapore who bought a copy then burn many copies for friends......

immel · #34 14th October 2006, 02:45 PM

And also... the singles sell 500k+ copies online.

Some of her latest singles was million sellers, because people bought them online.

I'm looking forward to when oricon announces their online sales list.

LacusClyne · #35 15th October 2006, 04:54 AM

^that is another point why stores are closing down. lesser people go to stores now...

iPODs and mp3s are the "in" thing now. Busy people don't have the time to be carrying large Cds and having to pick each CD to listen to the one song they really want to at that moment. Cds nowadays are mainly bought by the politically correct people or the hardcore collectors.

Eu-Kun · #37 15th October 2006, 05:04 AM

if its an album koi no tsubomi should be in it

According to ORICON, a single should have no more than 4 identical songs.
4 hot wave has 4 songs and 3 interludes (which can be considered as remixes of the other 4 songs), so it may either be considered as a single or a mini-album. But Memorial address can only be considered as a mini-album.

I think you mean different and not identical, or 4 original songs, but thanks for the information!
