New Zespri Kiwi CM song - "blossom"

[Kingdom]

it sounds good so far!

[ストロボ・EdGE]

It better be true! Even if there aren't 4 PVs (that's just asking too much.) I just love 3+A-side singles; it's like a mini-mini-album.

I can't really hear the song that well on the cm. But like what many people here said it sounds different from her usual summer songs. I am hoping this single comes out when I am in Japan this summer.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

I love the title, it sounds good

[ayupan90]

I haven't been on AHS in a day and I've missed so much XD

what's Kachoufuugetsu? and why do people think it might be a 4A single? I'm very confused lol

[rakeru]

Sounds like a great summer song! And would offset MOON pretty well, I feel.

[ayuayu798]

From the preview the song sounds really nice and fresh!

[truehappiness]

Someone mentioned that this sounded kinda like a Tetsuya Komuro work, haha.

I'm kinda scared if it is, since that'd be two giant 90s composers in one single.

what's Kachoufuugetsu? and why do people think it might be a 4A single? I'm very confused lol

Kachoufuugetsu is this Japanese idiom that's used to represent ~beauty~. Flowers, birds, wind, and the moon. Ayu used this in Moments when she was writing the lyrics.

Judging from the titles, she has half of the idiom done with blossom (flowers) and MOON (the moon, duh?)~ So people have speculated that she might do a kachoufuugetsu single, but I don't think it's likely. Just a very slim possibility.

そして僕らは歩き始めた
まだぎこちない手と手をつないで

Lyrical snippet from the CM.

soshite bokura wa aruki hajimeta
madagikochinai te to te wo tsunaide

And then we start to walk
Awkwardly(?) holding each other's hands

[zellyx]

4A!!! I hope!!!!!!! It's been a long time... (:
I love the piano intro and the song preview is pleasant.

[Mintkisses]

WOW surprising to hear another song from her! Ayu never seems to wait!
The song sounds alright. We'll see when the full version comes out~

[ayupan90]

thanks for explaing, truehappiness ^_^

[Teppei-chan]

The few seconds that I can hear from "blossom" sounds good.

[primavera♥]

oh why didnt i come here earlier. and now i find this. the song sounds sooo cool so far. and very fresh and summery. really perfect for the commercial frankly. . .and blossom is such a cute title

and a 4A . . .would be nice but well see

[ownsarai]

It would be so great if she did a 4A single!! And I like what I hear of this song so far. Thanks for sharing~

I'd be sooo happy if it was a 4A single! It'd be like... a dream come true. I'm sure I was an Ayu fan when the earlier long singles were released like H and & but I wasn't really up to date at that time so to me it'd be like a great new thing for me in a way, you know?

In any case, MOON and blossom would make an incredible single on their own!

[JackieRos]

I love what I heard so far

[truehappiness]

Most new fans haven't been around for a multi-A. I think the closest we've gotten was 2006's BLUE BIRD (I think it was going to be called B) which got its 3A status taken away after the 3rd A-side went unfinished or something. I think it ended up surfacing as NEXT LEVEL since it's so similar and fits perfectly with BLUE BIRD, but.. who knows?

I was thankfully around right after & was released and that era was so insane, haha.

Well Ladies Night ~Another Night~ was more of a re-arrangement than a real remix, so we can think about it as a re-cut b-side You were.../BALLAD also had 3 tracks even though RED LINE was a b-side~ and I forgot what was the point

[Neko★munication]

Omg, so far it sounds beautiful! So pumped for this new single ^^

[JackieRos]

is there any news on when this single is going to be released?
