If you click the 5th link down from the flash menu on the bottom of the page a page should come up on the top with Ayu's name. Click it and info will appear, I'm pretty sure the last sentence is saying the single from the movie will be released in July. A translation would appreciated...

I'm surprised they would release the single two months ahead of the movie, instead of marketing them together.

No, it's not gonna be released in July.
The last sentence only indicates that ayu's 36th single is gonna be released in July, which is part of the introduction to the artist who sings the theme song. The theme song, if follows the tradition, should be released one or two weeks prior to the movie premiere date, which means 9/7 or 9/14.

Then this could sort of contradict the 'dancing' rumor... According to the rumor, 'dancing' is supposed to release in August. Then the July single will be 'alterna'? I don't know, I doubt she'd release singles so crammed together like that, considering that hasn't happened in years...

thanks for the info

[shinde]

hmmm, someone suggested (sorry I forgot who...) that maybe Ayu will do a trilogy again..but yeah, it seems like the release dates (according to various sources) are really crammed together tightly

[mui-gei-tal]

thank u for the info~

It happens all the time, same with Utada Hikaru, in any case, I'm glad to see this official info! Thanks

[Every Heart <3]

Thanks for the info

[TeamAyu]

Wait so the SHINOBI single ISN'T being released in July right?

The thread title should be changed to 36th single planned for July release. Wow I can't believe she's going to be hitting the 37th single mark by the end of the year!

I think this movie is the live-action of basilisk animation. It's a new anime, but the male lead actor called kouga gennosuke from the kouga clan and female lead actor is called oboro from the iga clan.. Kinda surprised, but i'm not sure about this

[CyberSpaceQueen]

thank you for the info!
I'm already looking forward to it so so much

[Hachimitsu]

Anyway, it's great news Ayu is going to release a single in July, whether it's the Shinobi or the alterna single. I can't wait to hear her new songs!

[Qt Mashi]

wow~!~! thanks for the info....so i reckon Ayu's 36th single will be in July and Shinobi will be around september!! yay!

and maybe another single after shinobi!~!~!

[Cyria]

Thanks for the info! This still seems a bit confusing to me, but there's not more than a couple of months until we get a new single, whether it's the SHINOBI song or alterna.

[PURIN]

in case you guys already forgot, vivi mentioned that ayu's new single will be out in july (the ayu deji deji diary), and since this release is so close from step you/is this love, it wouldnt be strange if she released the shinobi single in sept, maybe the reason why step you came so late after my story was because she took a break? and now shes back workin!

[AyuGAME]

haha..i'm pretty confuse right now..
there is many rumour and expectation
i really want an official news..
OH MY GOD..!! (>_<)

At the bottom left corner, click スタッフ
It shows ayu's name and when u click it, the article says ayu is going to release the next single in July

Well, if this and the 'dancing' rumour are true, plus the shinobi title song, There may be a chance that ayu will release singles in three consecutive months.

[AyuGAME]

i think dancing will be in her alterna single.and dancing just being a title of song not a title of single..
i thikn ayu will release a single on july and september
thx for the news..

[Deep snow]

that's a good news, i'm really looking forward for her new release, a summer single will be a great idea, i hope it's a multi-a-side single and i hope it's better than last year's INSPIRE [and i ALSO hope that it'll include alterna plus a DVD with more than 2 PVs]

about the fall-release, i'm very excited, very looking forward of what kind of ballad will it be, it said to be a really good ballad like SEASONS & Dearest, well just wait & see [and hear]

PS
please no "dancing", the title's crap...
