She just posted this on twitter, saying "Yeah, the single has been changed. About the reason, after a while I think you will find that you'll be able to think 'Oh! So that's why!!', so please look forward to it."

I think she has something planned for the blossom pv, or something else planned in general! Really looking forward to it.

From Misa-chan:
NEW SINGLE 「MOON / blossom」 set for release 14 July!!

Aiming for the 50th single, the first in a series of 3 consecutive works!
This 48th single is a double A-side featuring the widely-acclaimed famous songs 「MOON」 and 「blossom」!!
Both tracks are the current hot topics and much-welcomed comeback works of the composer for debut song 「poker face」 and famous work 「A Song for ××」, Hoshino Yasuhiko!
「MOON」 has been released as a limited chaku-uta to fanclub members who purchased the album 『Rock'n'Roll Circus』, and the full version has also been sung during live performances. This is one song that everyone has been wanting to be made a single.
「blossom」 is part of the large-scale tie-up promotion with Zespri, with it being the CM song for the 「Gold Kiwi, Green Kiwi」 CM. A number with a catchy tune, characteristic of Mr.Hoshino, this song's melody remains with the listener and brings on a feeling of breeziness associated with the coming season.

Popular songs from album 『Rock'n'Roll Circus』, such as 「Microphone」, 「Don't look back」, 「Last Links」 and 「meaning of Love」 are coupled with the new single as remix versions. Along with a DVD containing the video and making clips of 「MOON」 and 「blossom」, 3 versions of the single are to be released!

★Special first-press item: Serial Number Access Card
◎ Free chaku-uta download of new song in the next series (49th single)
◎ For those who have purchased all 3 48th・49th・50th singles, never-before-seen photos sent to the mobile phone + PC wallpaper

50th シングルに向けて、3作連続リリース第1弾!

「MOON」は、アルバム『Rock'n'Roll Circus』を購入したファンクラブ会員にのみ限定着うた配信され、ライヴでフルコーラスが披露されるや いなや、シングル化の要望が殺到した超話題曲。「blossom」は「ゼスプリ ゴールドキウイ・グリーンキウイCMソング」という超大型タイアップ楽曲で、星野氏によるキャッチーなメロ ディが耳に残るこれからの季節にピッタリの爽やかナンバー。

I'm curious as to who the arranger for blossom is. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's HAL with the piano introduction, bell sounds and strings. I think tasuku might be another option...it'd be funny if it's neither.

That might be true, but if it is then I want to thank them for not ruining it this time, lol.
It really seems too good to be HAL though, in my opinion.

The Microphone remix reminds me a lot of that Depend on you Remix from the Ay-u-mix CM (that one with Ayu turning from her from the club cover to her from the acoustic cover). I think it's the Dub's Electro Remix if I'm not mistaken.

[new]
I am totally loving MOON. It reminds me of something you would hear on I am... or ASFXX like everyone said. I love the nostalgic feel and concept of it (as what I thought from the video.)
blossom is just plain beautiful. Just freaking perfect almost.

I just listened to the single, and it is GREAT ! One of her greatest summer single ever ! Not asgood as &, of course, but really awesome ! blossom is almost perfect as a summer song ! And MOON is better than many RnRC ballads imo !

I think blossom was arranged by Yuta. The strings are too Yuta-y, haha.

Whoa... MOON takes up about five and three-quarter minutes (that's long again!), while blossom takes only about four minutes or so...

I don't think there was much of different...we were just exposed to the CM version for a while which makes us hope that the song would be very energetic and such~~

Maybe I'm one of the ones who really loves Step You remix, the DJ TAKI-***** one, so I am really looking forward to Don't Look Back, because they sound similar.

I LOVE that step you mix. It screams fun summery beach days

Yea agree with truehappiness..there's something Yuta about the strings yet that magical feeling is somethng HAL creates..maybe we just scored a collaboration. HAL did t2m as well, so rock is not an issue.

im so glad everyone is feeling so much for the single! i wanna listen to it again

oh yes...i kinda forgot about the PVs lol!
