I didn't realize that I couldn't comment on two issues at once, sorry about the confusion...

It's okay, I just wasn't aware of the other issue lol.

I think any like 'disappointment' is due to pre-release jitters. Because a lot of people (myself included) who aren't feeling MOON/blossom and/or crossroads in months will in 5 months be like "MOON is my favorite song by her the best things she's done in a loong time." or "I wish she would do another song like MOON." Like a lot of people didn't like Days when it first came out, now pretty much everyone likes it.

It's been like this for a long time though. It's kind of a given for any specific topic, in this case it's Ayu. People really need to realize that there is always going to be 2 differing opinions on songs/photo's/PVs etc. Not everyone is going to like something, and not everyone is going to dislike something.

When it reaches a point where the people who like a song/photo/PV are obsessing over it and the people who dislike a song/photo/PV are raging about how horrible it is, it starts to get out of control and annoying. Some people don't know how to stay behind the line of obsessing or raging about something, and think just because they like/hate a song/photo/PV, everyone else has to like/hate it too.

If only everyone could be like "I don't particularly like this song/photo/PV" or "I really am liking this song/photo/PV!" and move on without getting caught up in everyone's opinions, AHS would be so way less heated.

I usually like songs a lot more when they're released as a single. I was absolutely in love with You were.../BALLAD and thought it was the most perfect winter ballad single ever, and now I never listen to those songs anymore, I think they're boring :laugh I find myself listening to her older winter ballads instead.

However, I'm pretty sure blossom will stay in my favorite-song list for a very long time. It's such a perfect song. I miiight grow tired of MOON (eventhough I still love it now!) but blossom is forever!

Like pretty much everything in life, it comes down to one thing : the middle path. People have a right to be disappointed with her, people have a right to love everything she does, neither side should take it too far and either side should accept the opinion of others.

And that's basically it XD

AHS would be a peaceful place if all members were forced to agree on this when joining. :P

It makes a whole lot of sense, and it's exactly what I'm talking about. People also tend to mix two different scenarios: when trolls say: "She sucks! I wish she would do something like SEASONS again!" or when I say that I'm not feeling it, but I'll continue to support her because I love the damn woman, and I don't hate her music at all. All I was saying, was that I don't like it as much as I like her old music. If people get annoyed by that...yeah :irked

Moving on.
Thinking back on previous single releases, how long do you think it will be before we get the/one cover(s)? I'm really anxious..!

well LOL anyways
so what dates would be "safe" to release the 49th on? if it's a month all the releases should already be announced?
does anyone know whos releasing and whatnot

Im suspecting she might do a July-Sep-Nov...then just in time for the CDL...if there IS a change in plans...(is there?)

Im hoping Crossing turns out good. Moon, Blossom, they were okay....But they're not songs I'd keep from her. I still don't like Days...

Ah, I love all the different titles.

crossing
crossword
crossroads
crisscross
cross-shaped

Okay... scratch the last two...

^LOL...that's funny

i highly doubt if it will release in august because i think they left not enough time to prepare for it.unless they plan to release it on30th,but still,i think 80% it will release in september

^I think that to, MAYBE every two months, so MOON/blossom in july, crossroad/.... in september and 50th single in december. That looks the most logical for me

really?! :teek i love komuro works but i'm not feeling this :(
waiting for the full preview ;)

I think it'll be July-September-November, IF competition allows it. Because then she could still easily perform all three at the final dates at Yoyogi, as well as have 50th single Countdown live! =D

And if it's coming in August, it should've been announced now, shouldn't it?

maybe they are waiting for the first week of sales of MOON / blossom to be over so they can start promoting x)

^ i think it's impossible :laugh LOL since the 50th single anniversary concert will be held at Oct 2nd, which is exactly ayu's birthday~

so it must be around september~ :D
