CDJapan have listed the single but only the normal CD+DVD and CD only editions. Does this mean that the anniversary edition is only sold at special live? (I was assuming that it just meant there was a live/anniversary track replacing the b-side or whatever...)

I bet you jacket c artwork is flawless compared to the other two. I BET YOU ALL.

^ Surely it'll be the best :laugh And the live version was just avaible through pre-order at the Hibiya mini live, just like the CD+Earmuffs of POP DIVA was avaible through pre-order at FANTASIA

^Oh, of course. Cause then you gotta buy membership to the fanclub to get the best artwork. I am expecting something amazing, this being a birthday single. However, I'm so in love with Summer Trip's artwork, there is nothing in this world that could ever compare. Doesn't seem like its been a year since her birthday live. I wonder if the cover will have a cake on it?

I guess even Kuu haven't decided on the artwork :laugh This single was probably just announced now so people could pre-order the Hibiya Live version, otherwise I guess we would just get the news some weeks later but with more details - like the title.

I want this single to be cute. I miss her cute songs like Birthday Eve :heart

do not know if it was mentioned here but the theme for the fanclub house tour will be halloween~

Kuu is in Washington! Bitch wont settle her botty in Japan for more than a month nowadays omg

^Those are so lovely♥

It's a part of Dejavu Tour Fanclub Photobook. I wasn't able to find separate HQ pics so I just post this pic instead. I hope it's OK for you. :)

Listening to Best Second Session and remembering how amazing this period was.

That's so ayu, lol.

I want a cute single too !

Looks like she's in party city. While we're on this, is halloween a big thing or even celebrated in japan? I never know which of our american holidays they also celebrate

Thanks much! So cute~ Now I want a cute single, too. Themed would be cute, but Halloween will be over by then. Maybe Thanksgiving :laugh Now, that I know they don't celebrate in Japan. Halloween, I think they like the idea of. And I guess the President, too. I remember Japan being really happy when he was elected. I guess that's why Kuu is in Washington?

^ iirc BACK-ON was playing in an anime-con there so she must be with them in the US it seems

So, Kuu is more popular among the younger crowd, along with Kana and Miliyah, where as Ayu is more popular with the older crowd.

Oh, I though most of Kuu fans were between 20~25 actually, as also I thought ayu's fanbase was older :P

And Namie :heart

I'm not surprised that Kuu's more popular with the younger people. She makes music that fits their taste better where as Ayu makes music for older people. However, that doesn't change the fact that I love them both so much♥

Yes! Agree!! :D

I'm actually pleasantly surprised that she's even on that list. Japanese teenagers to me seem like the only non-idol music they're interested in is Namie and Kana

I just want more details about the new single, is that too much to ask? ]: I'm ansious as hell for this

Wonder when they're annoucing JAPONESQUE Tour DVD release also btw... Usually her tours are released in September or October, but if they haven't announced it yet probably we won't be getting it that soon yet.

This actually makes so sense! Especially for Namie, I've always seen her having this charm affecting both young people (with the sexy act) and the older ones (with the classy act). She's multitasking, lol.
Can't wait for Kuu single news, btw!
