Wow that's a first. I thought it was one of the most mediocre songs Kumi has released this year.

[Kaiouforever]

It didn't quite have the oomph I was looking for in a Kuu ballad, but it was still a nice song. More of an album track than a single in my opinion though.

I'm really looking forward to her album next year! =]

she looks cute in that. ai no uta isn't bad, but i just wish she got the award with other better songs, i want 'Aisho', though the japanese don't seem to like it that much. pity

[yukihira]

^agree Aisho is my favorite ballad for 2007, The outfit looks really cute on her!

[se7entheaven]

[ayumisrael]

[Lee_Hamasaki]

6th Album release "KINGDOM" (coming in 3 versions) => 1/30

6 songs from the singles (BUT, Aisho, FREAKY, Ai no Uta, LAST ANGEL and anytime) Run For Your Life will only be included on the PV DVD. All 15 songs on the album will have a PV making the DVD.

1 bonus track - "Black Cherry". It says that it's the full version of "INTRODUCTION" from Black Cherry.

The 2nd DVD will be the LIVE IN HALL concert from June. Like the Black Cherry CD+2DVD, it's labeled as "limited"

[Beauty4123]

KINGDOM? don't like the title. hope it's not true.

[sora2522]

run for your life only on the dvd? sounds to yuna ito to be true...

[Beauty4123]

THAT's the cover?!

[stickyrice]

omg omg love the cover!

what I don't like how a single is before the album =\ kind of a waste if you ask me...

[ayu_fan929]

Ehh this is like the 4th time in a row they've done this. (Promise/Star; Someday/BoysGirls; Cherry Girl/Unmei were all released 2 weeks before an album, anytime is now 1 week before)

[Beauty4123]

so is the single true? since the album already has a cover.

[Foxxy_Fuyumi]

aahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Im laughing because:
- I CANT BELIEVE SHE WON THE AWARD FOR AI NO UTA.
- THE COVER OOF THE SUPPOSED KINGDOM ALBUM.

LORD XD

[stickyrice]

and all those other times it seems to be pointless. either way I'm excited for that full version of the intro.

According to Sanspo:

来年１月２３日には同アルバムからのイチオシ曲「ａｎｙｔｉｍｅ」を発売。恋する女の子の気持ちを綴った心 温まるミディアムテンポの楽曲に仕上がっている。

Yes it's true. It also says it's a medium tempo track.

[stickyrice]

ALSO I find it funny how there's already a cover for kuu's album tracklist and everything...and there's nothing for ayu! they really take their sweet time with that girl.

[Raleigh]

Cover looks nice though the single release so close to the album is not so wise...

[sora2522]

another single as well?!


oh jeez that's too crazy to believe. the cover is...interesting...
