Seriously? It is literally the epitome of a summer song for me.

I wonder if we’ll get the PV along with the song. I know I shouldn’t have my expectations set too high but I can’t help it. From what we have seen, it is shaping to be amazing, at least visually.

If Nonfiction is anything to go by we might get some kind of preview. I would love a YouTube short with the intro this Friday and one with the chorus Tuesday/Wednesday next week, that would get me so hyped!

Remember the time when we get an idea about the new songs from short ringtones? That was exciting)

Not going to lie, I miss snippets, CMs and full on leaks! Release cycles were always super exciting because of them!

and the TV drama/Anime opening and ending snippets. Dearest is the best for anime ending. Remember we need to guess the song title while the CM out? They only put "Song by Ayumi Hamasaki" and we had no clue what the new song name was, e.g. July 1st. TUKA is also iconic.. (I still have all TUKA booklets!)

I miss tie ups too.
I think she could have them tbh.

I kind of think she pulled away from them on purpose. (It’s possible the money offered to her was not to her standard as well.)

But at the same time, commercial tie ups in Japan are far less common than before.

In fact, I can’t even think of a current one O_o
I’m sure there’s at least a couple… lol

Dramas are where the biggest tie ups are now, but considering almost every drama has Johnny’s attached, it’s often one of their groups.

*sigh*

Music access is easier than ever before, but I certainly miss the times we used to have.

For me the most precious summer song is You & Me. It was my first visit to Japan, it was August and it was hot AF and she performed it at my first Ayu tour ever.
Anyway, I hope she appears on FNS or something.

fated is a good song but the PV is bruh... running on the street over dark with the ridiculous dress and she is not sure if that guy only likes her for quickie or her money... and she thinks about marriage.
