However, I have had CDJ ship orders for CDs like a few days before it's release date, so that could happen as well. Still, I wouldn't worry too much. There may also be people in Japan planning to walk in on release date of "L" and buy them both together to save some time or something.

Yea but i want mine to count for her first week sales XP lol ill figure something out no problem

This is the CDjapan real time ranking fo cd orders! from most to least she holds the top 5 positions and more i didnt chekc the rest ! XP
Edit: i just checked she also holds the 6th and 7th position

^The only way to do it is to buy separately. I did actually ask both YA and CDJ and they both gave me same answer about this. "All sales of an item DO NOT count on Oricon Charts until the order is shipped since it is possible for the customer to cancel an item or an item become unavailable."

Next please, these two singles aren't worth it

don't worry i know exactly what you mean

sometimes producers have this signature sound, and his are just so ugly sounding LOL
i have this bad feeling they'll have this lingering sound of his which will be such a turn off
hopefully we see some crea!

Because Ayu's done nothing worth being positive about for such a long time

crossroad is probably the worst song in all creation, so I see no reason not to knowing there's MORE TK out there.

Don't lose hope yet, luvey (trust, I don't like TK much either lol)! It says 3-5 tracks with both Tetsuya and Kikuchi. 2 of those tracks belong to Kikuchi and we already know crossroad is Tetsuya... so that could be all he's doing. Plus, it mentioned a team of composers for 'L' so probably 1 of those songs will be Kikuchi and the other songs off that single will have different composers.

Then i shall order seperately! problem solvedXP ill just have to pay a bit more :P

can we wait until the actual songs out for the listen before judge for more?
it's only a short preview which i couldn't even remember how crossroad sounds like already~
we keep on waiting..
if not like it, just leave it as it is... find some other songs that make you happy and positive or whatever that is for you~

I hope all the majority of the songs aren't by that same composer. o.o;

You obviously know something we don't :thud

Yes, I was thinking that also; besides, somebody says an Ayu song is the worst song in all creation every time something is released.

In any case, the arguing stops here; it's spamming this thread.

I doubt Ayu would release two singles after each other, that are filled with the same composer. It could be that they're not all composed by him; perhaps if they made 6 songs together, on the next two singles maybe 3 in total are by him, and maybe she'll save something for the album so as to have some variation.

OK, I'll try to compile the whole load of information that just came in from TA about these 2 new singles. 7 updates in one day, avex needs to learn to not release so much all at one go. :P

Do note that alot of info is not yet confirmed, even by avex itself. So we should brace ourselves for lots of changes along the way. o_0

Ikr? :laugh

I love it when the titles and composers. Of the songs aren't yet known, but they're already an abomination XD

Thank you so much Misa ! So, the video on crossroad is not confirmed yet to be the B-side PV ? It could be blossom ?

how do I know something you don't? You can tell right from the preview that it is the worst thing ever created

Yeah, since it says video clip (planned) it can be
a) blossom PV
b) as-yet-untitled song's PV
c) totally removed

So yep, noone knows at this point. :P

@GRACE: Yes, we get the point. No need to repeat it in every single post. I'm disappointed with crossroad's chaku-uta too, but I don't go around flaunting it like it's the most important discovery ever in ayu-world.

have you really not liked anything released by Ayu in a really long time out of all the stuff that's come out?

bits and pieces, nothing's been amazing or wonderful since before I became a fan however :l

Thank you misa. :D I just keep getting more excited for this.

And it would be cool if it were blossom pv but I would be fine without I think. Either way. Its good :)

Ok thank you again :D I'm still hoping for a "short film" on the last single !

Wow, thanks for all that info, misa! I'm so happy that "L" is gonna have so many remixes!! I really hope that the second PV on the crossroad single is blossom's!
