They're not all singing classic songs, some are promoting new releases. Sandaime J Soul Brothers will be singing a new song from their new album as well. And, technically, Ayu's also promoting a new release, it just so happens to be a re-release of an old album... As for AKB48 singing 3 songs... oh, well, I don't really like it, but I can't say I'm surprised.

yeah, you have a point there! havent thought about it ! so happy for asfxx though!

She hasn't performed for promo in a long time, right? When was her last TV performance?

please.. perform original mix or a best ver. (i hate 15th anniversary ver.), no dancers sing alone. please please ayu..

Well, she performed SEASONS on FNS. Also, she did A song is born on Music Station in September. And she also performed on NHK SONGS in July, don't remember the set list for that one

^ One of the songs she performed on NHK SONGS was Step by step, so I guess it ended up being sort of a promotion for sixxxxxx?

FINALLY!!!! so great she will sing A song For XX!!!

A Song for XX? I'll take it! Cannot really wait for the return of Ayu on MSte! (A BEST 15th anniversary, that's why...)

I would cringe if it's like SEASONS so THANK GOD FOR ASFXX

Wow great news :-D

Oh yeah! An exciting news.

Well, I certainly hope that this is a first step back to doing promo again. I think her entire career will benefit from doing these things again.

Wow awesome news, she's still not making any new music and performing yet another song released over 10 years ago . . . again!

wow A Song for XX. probably for promotion for A BEST ~15th Anniversary~

I will not praise anything, until we will hear her singing. Her vocals have been terrible.
That Song is Born performance, SEASONS, whole CDL 2015-2016... uhm, yeah. Please, Ayu, use A Song For Xx to your own benefits. It's a great choice, people love it. Please, sing well.

This is exciting! Personally, I'd hope it's the arrangement from A BEST. Makes sense, right? :P

I imagining is a rock version XD

Happy with this choice but I hope she will not perform the song with too many dancers. This song is more personal than a song is born

This times a fucking million, God!

I do think it'll probably be just her and the band, though. That's how she typically performs the song, right?

Wow, AKB48 and Ayu on the same date :brush
I am hoping for a full performance.
