[ownsarai]

^I am also hoping to get a PV with this song! The lyrics seem like talkin' 2 myself/decision-esque to me. I can't wait!!

[pommy48]

AH!!! don't trust wiki, but may be true
Dragonball is set to be released APRIL 8th, 2009 XDD...see the ayuish connection there?

edit: never mind, it was "formally" announced

Dragonball was initially scheduled to be released on August 15, 2008, then moved to April 10, 2009 to allow time to do additional filming and post-production work. On November 11, 2008, it was formally announced that the film's release had been changed to April 8

Oh yay! At least Ayu's getting some varied promotion. And yes, a PV would be so cool.

SUPER SAIYAN AYU!

Yeah, didn't watch Dragonball too much but I do remember that xD I'm so excited for this song, it's going to be so strong and catchy, I'm sure.

As important as that date is, that's just the US date. The Japanese release date is March 13th.

@ren: Yeah the movie may be crap but Ayu is going to get ALOT of promotion with this movie, so we should be happy for her.

[GRACE]

So we'll probably be seeing the single sometime around then, which puts us at a 3 month maximum wait. Amazing after how long it took for Days/GREEN to come out <3

[[taskin.ayu]]

Ew that movie looks horrid, it's terrible that Ayu would be associated with it, but a new song is always good anyway. D:

[truehappiness]

tbh, it's probably the biggest tie-up she's ever had in her career.. lool. Or at least, the highest budgeted thing she's been tied up to.

Oh, and the lyrics seem to be basically saying that just because someone comes in with their own set of "rules" that they don't have to be followed because "we" won't give in or whatever. Kind of like if some villain came in with an agenda and people were like "uh hellz no".

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

I used to love DBZ as a kid!

This is cool! I hope I like the song.

@Melrose: I think it means.... following other ppl´s rules s unnecessary because
you know what you really want and how youre going to do something

[ll moments ll]

LOLWHATDRAGONBALLMOVIE?!

...interesting. xD

can't wait for the song? (the movie, not so much, LOL).

[EVILution]

Ayu getting a world wide audience this is great news.

i'm glad that she'll get some publicity (even bad publicity is good publicity xD)
but just the tought of this movie makes me feel sick xD

but then again, i just can't wait to hear the song!!!!!!!!!

[SheFliesHigher]

MAN I DID NOT EXPECT THIS.

Good God this movie is going to be so horrible. My boyfriend and I talked about it once a long time ago, and then we just have been avoiding it because we're speechless from how terrible it looks.

I'm happy to have a new song, and it's fun to have Ayu tied into an American product, but I reeeaally think some people are overestimating the influence this is going to have. 'Dearest" was the ending theme of Inu-Yasha, a ridiculously popular anime in the US, and that didn't seem to do much. Hikki had Kingdom Hearts songs and an English album and nobody really cared. The average person is going to hear a Japanese song and probably not react much. For the most part, only people who are interested in Japanese music are going to care about an Ayu song at the end of a movie, and people who are interested in Japanese music already know about Ayu, I'm sure.

[truehappiness]

I don't think anyone is going to identify the singer of the ending track as Ayu anyway. I mean, unless people wait until the credits roll and "Ayumi Hamasaki" rolls by in like 10 seconds..

Whatever happens, she's simply not going to get the attention that people think she might get outside of Japan, where they like to tie stuff up to everything from pantiliners to the weather segment on the news. And if they don't like it, it's probably because their tastes are just incredibly westernized, at least when it comes to Americans possibly getting it during the credits or something. Oh! And if people like it, they might come here saying "Oh, the movie sucked, but this song was really good!" and so on.. which would be nice. Although having DBZ-otaku at AHS seems really unusual. lolllll.

And about the Dearest thing.. it's possible that more people purchased it since the sales from Endless sorrow -> UNITE! had a difference of like 200k, then Dearest came out and she ended up selling around the same as Endless sorrow..

[AyUmIXx]

another rock song..
can't waitt for it..
go Ayu go Ayu!
so if we watch Dragon Ball movie in our theatre, we will be able to hear Ayu's song???
if so, how cool is that!!!

[terra]

I wonder how will the song sounds...will it be like MW? t2m? Startin'?

I'm quite excited about this, more about Ayu's song going to be known worldwidely XD

[kotora]

THIS MOVIE SHOULD BE BETTER THAN SAILOR MOON OVERSEAS-REAL-PERSON VERSION

I can see why ayu has a song in this movie.

The date of release of this movie = Release Date: April 8, 2009

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

I hope theres a single... which its almost 99 percent sure of it going to exist.
