They need to change it to Hajimari no Uta or ANYTHING else on the album. smh

Well, there's still late January/early February for potential promotion...

^Yeah just... promoting it on GyaO? It's not like she's an up-and-coming artist, IDK what she's doing on there when she should be on TV instead, even though the performances were top notch...

Maybe since it's her own label they can't afford the promotion? There's no huge label backing her up now other than Avex distributing copies after all. Not exactly sure how the former would work.

Seems like the "big gamble" is paying off - primarily out of those long-standing Ayaka fans that still stood up after her announcement of going into hiatus in end of 2009/start of 2010...

Spoiler:

I'm quite surprised that Ayaka had the highest ratings among the red team performers! Must have been that comeback that proved that she was quite popular there; only two boys (a group and a soloist) are ahead of them, but I am really surprised that Ayaka even outscored Arashi in viewing popularity (47.2% vs. 45.1%)...

ayaka’s new song “The beginning” becomes the CM song for Yokohama Tire

ayaka’s new song “The beginning” has been chosen as the theme song for Yokohama Tire’s new commercial, “Blue Earth.”

The song is the title track for her upcoming album “The beginning“, and the new CM will start airing on the same day as the album’s release, which will be on February 1st.

Additionally, one of other tracks in the album, “Hello“, is being used in Yamazaki’s “Lunch Pack” CM which is currently on air.

http://www.tokyohive.com/2012/01/aya...yokohama-tire/

See at least The beginning (the album) is getting more promo of sorts besides Hajimari no Toki being the only album track getting a PV

This's ain't so bad :O

Bigtop

7th January 2012 04:33 AM

Okay, this kind of makes me skeptical... I have no track record of tire companies' using songs from popular artists - especially when it's new songs...

And another thing is this - what's with the "Blue Earth" commercial? Is this advertising a particular tire? Or is this advertising a tire company itself in general?

ayaka’s “Soko Made Aruite Iku yo” becomes CM song for Kubota Corporation

ayaka’s new song, “Soko Made Aruite Iku yo“, has been chosen as the CM song for the Kubota Corporation.

The Kubota Corportation is a manufacturing company that provides a variety of products that contributes to people’s lives and communities worldwide. The concept of their latest CM revolves around the motifs of “Food”, “Water”, and “Environment”; heart-warming scenes were filmed featuring shots of parents exchanging smiles with their children.

The company reached out to ayaka as they felt that the image of the song fit well with the CM’s concept and the attitude of the company.

The CM is currently available for viewing on Kubota Corportation’s official website. It will be available for TV broadcast on January 22nd.

“Soko Made Aruite Iku yo” can be found in ayaka’s new album, “The beginning“, which will be released on February 1st.

I'm kind of shocked about Kuu's new album first-day sales (and subsequent)... I'd have to imagine how would I compare to Ayaka had it not been pushed back - maybe some people wasn't aware of this...

...but I do have confidence that Ayaka could run away next week's. We'll just have to see.

Right now I'm still waiting for that Ayaka CD+DVD to be shipped; it still hasn't left the ground, but by using EMS it should go by pretty quick...

(I am NOT downloading out of ANYWHERE just because I ordered it...)

^ HMV usually shipped the order on the release date, so don't expect it'll shipped to you (and me) very soon :/

Can't wait for the album release, it's 4 days more!!

I'm listening to ayaka for the first time,her music is really good!!could you tell me some good songs from her? :)

Midori-chan

29th January 2012 08:55 PM

^ ayaka is awesome, isn't she?! :heart

My two favourite songs from her are "I believe" and "Why"!
But she has a lot of other beautiful songs too, like "Real voice", "Hello", "Okaeri", "Hajimari no toki", "Minna sora no shita"...!

You can find a lot of her songs on "YouTube"!

Wahhhh~~
I really need her new album RIGHT NOW! :smitten
