I don't really see anything wrong with it since Ayu has dabbled in it before, but never so wholeheartedly except maybe with NEXT LEVEL's album tracks + Sparkle.

I don't think either of these are going to be Christmas-y. In fact, they seem like they'll be summery. And we'll get a ballad single in the springtime most likely if that helps.

[truehappiness]

I'm glad she broke away from the summer upbeat/winter ballad pattern. Keeps things interesting.

[Refix]

a summer-y song in winter... how out of the box.
You mean that Pray song? Already confirm that its gonna be a ballad?

It's not confirmed, but I'd be surprised if it were anything other than a ballad given Kunio Tago's track record. He's never made anything that wasn't eventually a ballad for Ayu, I think.

[jiarongisme]

True enough, it's the song we heard from the TA clip.


She looks beautiful in the shots.

[brener]

i miss her "old school" sometimes.. but i'm in love with namie's current music, if it's anything like that i'm gonna love it.

[Bigtop]

Finally we've been waiting for this...an ACTUAL NEW SINGLE!!!

[AyuGAME]

WOW...single

[truehappiness]

It seems like the single is just Feel the love / Merry-go-round?

[circe154]

It's on her official site now:
