and...
the SINGLE title have a remix with title ........
SINGE ( ladies,please put a ring on it mix)...omg...>XD

i would die happy if ayu did a cover of that song in engrish, omg. :roflmao

as of right now, i believe the only other popular artist releasing ANYthing on that day is Namie's new album.

other than that, there aren't any singles scheduled yet that could cause a threat, unless there happens to be a huge hit with a random act that doesn't usually happen.

*however, i'm unsure about "The Birthday"--are they popular enough to be a threat?? not sure about them...

in terms of singles let me see

not much competition on that day from the look of things

^

Wow, that's good for ayu!!

and what about the next week? Must we hope for a 2nd week in #1 place?

we don't have much strong singles here too... except the ELT best-album and flumpool first full-length album

:rofl
That would be the freaking best single ever, even if it were just for the titles.

well all the big Johnny's releases are coming up in full force during Nov (all my $ D: D: D: D: ) so I don't think any big major Johnny's acts will be putting out their stuff in Dec (if so maybe after the Oricon year 2009's done)

I think it's pretty certain You were ... / BALLAD can get #1 on that day . I don't think MISIA pose that much of a threat but I really don't know since I don't really listen to her

& YES I'm SO happy & excited for flumpool's debut full length album What's flumpool ?! :D

so getting that for sure alongside with BREAKERZ's FIGHTERZ album which will be out on 2nd Dec :smitten

MISIA's and Ayu's releases often get the same release dates, MISIA never posed a threat though :)

MISIA's songs are ok but of course she can't fight with ayu,IMO.because not many can actually accept her song genre

MISIA's single before the last one sold 9,930 in total.
I think MISIA can't almost fight anyone anymore.

Glad Ayu doesn't have much competition. :D

Haha! :roflmao

yeah, MISIA is no longer a menace to ayu

awesome, new single coming up :)

Thanks for the information about the new single! :)

Hope the covers will look better this time.

Lol at all those pictures I missed. :roflmao

Meh. I'm already getting impatient for some cover leaks or previews or something, but we still have a while away yet. >__<

Yes, still 2 months to go. I'm sooo looking forward to this. Although I love all of Ayu's music, her ballads are just so special. They never fail to touch my heart. Yes, something to look forward to this winter.

Karen, I don't know how you do it, but you always manage to talk about Johnnys in Ayu's thread ( :laugh ).

what does that mean? like, you can take the booklet out of one cd and put it in another cd or something? as far as I know. we can already do that. :O

Did they announce that? Or are you just saying for they people already complaining just cause it may be him...?

Gosh, to the people saying they would like a cover similar to CAROLS-- I too would LOVE that. That cover is gorgeous. :heart
