^That would be great if she had a Rimmel tie-in. More than likely there will be a LUMIX tie-in, it's kind of inevitable. Seems like they release new cameras when Ayu releases new singles. xD

^Well there is a mini tie-in with RIMMEL from the Arena Tour 09 - possibly if there was a good reception they may extend it :yes I hope so anyway! :)

Call me stupid but I don't get this? xD whatcha talkin' bout? Just to be clear I didn't make my comment in a negative way, I just thought it was an interesting find.. xD (like I said, I don't really get what you're joking about but wanted to make myself clear in case youre *****ing at me xD if you're not sorry for the inconvenience :P)

I really hope the singles available to purchase on hmv.co.jp are First Press but they're not yet clearly stated as so for the moment...

of course!
4th album - I Am...
supposed to be on 8th album(but later appeared on 9th album) - It Was...
probably on 12th album - You were...

She does one of these songs all 4 albums xD

yeah, HMV.co.jp always sells first press until it's sold out. If you're going to preorder you will definitely get a first press, for released items you have to contact help center

Thank you so much for the answer. Their EMS shipping is so much cheaper than CDJapan's! Plus they have discounted prices on the DVD releases!

So we know that Ballad will be a ballad, what will the other songs be?

^ i believe you were... and BALLAD is ballad...and i have no idea if Red line is ballad also or not..i hope it will be something like Replace or MY ALL

i hope that You were... is in the same style that 'I am...' and 'It was', like ballad/rock song ^^

I would like for "You were..." to be in the same style as "Together When..."; "BALLAD" to be in the same style as "JEWEL"; and "RED LINE" to be in the same style as "End roll." :heart

^ but there are 0 chances of RED LINE being like End roll, considering that it has already been said that she was referring to the "red thread" that connects people xD something mid-tempoish like MY ALL is what we'll prolly get, but who knows.

I do wonder what these songs will sound like. I just hope they're not recycled, last few albums were only descent.

you know....a while ago christina aguilera had a song (don't remember the title but I think it was on her btb album) that was dedicated to her fans. she sung in it, and then there was a long instrumental where they played audio thank yous from her fans. and supportive words from them. I think if red line was like that, I would love it even more. "thanks team ayu" and have different members record their messages to ayu and have it being played in the background.

here it is, it's called "thank you (dedication to fans)


if red line was something like this, it would be epic.

^ I love Christina's Thank You, I would love it if RED LINE would be something like that. :heart

Something could be like End roll and still be up-tempo! haha Ayu's mentioned the "red thread" in her lyrics before, in the song, Trust (the first verse.)

"I've never believed in the red thread.
I thought fate was something to grab.
At an incredible speed it winds around.
I've become tired of this world,
even though I've searched for the hand that will save love."

Anyway, did Ayu herself say it was about that, or are we still just speculating? I don't read her diaries often, so I wouldn't know. xD

That will be awesome! I really hope she does something like this!

teth posted a part of her TA post that mentions the red thread and from what he said yes, that post was based on the lyrics of the song.

No, I remember seeing that, hah. MUCH better. :)
