i think it is to 'prefect' the pic =_=

To me, Panasonic is trying hard for emphasizing the futuristic feel of its products, so they have to make ayu as a "robot" in the pictures... LOL. The last LUMIX poster (with the weird hair) wasn't too bad. The latest d-snap/d-dock posters are like "OMG ayu looks so cyber with the new Panasonic product!"

That's why I like Panasonic posters lesser as time goes by...

I suppose Panasonic does want to make sure to create a clear image of perfection and efficiency. Anyhow I don't really mind. I do enjoy the way Ayu looks.

Can you really airbrush video? She really doesn't look that different in the making ofs. o_o.. They maybe apply film filters [i.e Beautiful Fighters' sparkles and rainy day's dark hues..]~ but that's about it..

Perhaps with Panasonic, at times she has facial blemishes [or like, small bumps / pimples..] at the time of shooting, but they have terrible 'airbrushers' so then it ends up looking.. scary. o_o

This past LUMIX Panasonic CM with JEWEL, her image, imo, was terrible. On the other hand, the D-dock one turned out alright.

a future with no pores or blemishes YAY!

I hope you mean minimalised pores... :P

it was in her honda commerical i dont think the song even had a title i think it was just called "Onjani" if i am right. and "Earth Song" if that is the one your talking about was released as a b-side to "Shine We ArE"

pretty snazzy. ;3

Good to hear it's a rock song, but there's no way I'll listen to it untill the actual single is released this time :).

OMG THE D-SNAP IS SO CUTE!!! i so want it!!!

the song is awesome! plus, her image is a bit weird, but ok (hip-hop rainbow XD)

can someone tell me where the d-snap can be found? i sooooo want it T.T

OMG!!!
Ayumi looks os beautiful! AWESOME!
thank you, darling

mmm, where to dl the CMs, anybody knows? :D

Most likely at eBay.

If you'd give anything for it, go www.fdjp.com and tell them to buy it for ya ;).

The song remind me of her rockish dancey songs she usually outs at the end of her albums... The ones that are better live and person... Sounds like the crowd could really get into this one

I could really go for that future right now. High contrast and flash can't always hide my tumorous zits.

The song isn’t so bad, but it feels mediocre. Like turkey. Maybe the new single will be called “Turkey” and feature an airbrushed turkey.

LOL... Turkey :P, that's a new one :D.

(oh, remember that funny Purple/EGG single cover?? Featuring a pair of purple chicken feet?.. probly those are turkey feet instead LOL)

The song.... sounds like it'll be great at first. And then get all boring. Just because of the way it is.

15 seconds doesn't give away the whole song :<

exactly. :rolleyes

^ I second that. I usually wait till I hear the full version before I make my judgements about how a song is going to be.

Agreed. I think that that's what everyone should do instead of making judgements of the song right away after listening to any sort of previews.

what do you mean when you say 'if i'd give anything for it, talk to them?' O.O;;

I'm scared when it says

"ANYTHING WE WILL DO! ANYTHING! "

:(

hmm... we shall see after it is released, huh?:innocent

My ideas from the preview. They're usually never what I think when the full thing is released.

This song sounds promising, but we'll see. :D

It's been less than 3 weeks and it already feels like a year of waiting for this -__-"

*sigh* i agree with you yukitora

It's been more than a year mentally omg seriously. I feel like I'm going through like...

MIDLIFECRISIS.

I love 1LOVE...its the first Ayu song I liked right away...I only started liking BLUE BIRD now xD

^How can you tell, coz the song isn't out yet :shrug

Plaaeh, I'm so waiting for the release!

but the preview is ^_^ Even tho it's only in the CM, I just love the song already

I guess she won't be releasing on 10/11 since SMAP is (rumoured I think) to be releasing. So it's either 10/4 vs. PG or 11/1 and onwards. That wpuld also mean they might delay both the single and the DVD releases together or they might release the DVD 1st and the single later.

Johnny's aren't exactly into the whole 'Hey. We need a break.'

They like releasing like woah. Look at TOKIO's releases in the past year.. omg

oh... so there's no way ayu can release a single in oct then. it'll be quite late to announce releasing a new single on 10.4.. ayu_fan929 said SMAP will be releasing new material on 10.11, kuu on the 18th, ai on the 25th.. Oh well, so a nov release won't be too bad then :P

It might always be on the same day as Ai ~

Either that or 11/1 :]

I believe that they're going to really do another tour + DVD release.. i.e 9/29/04's CAROLS+AT03-04.. :)

i will go for 11.01 then :P. Sounds much better for that.

11/1 would kinda fit for Ayu, since like, she's had nothing but no.1s since like, a long time ago. XD

plus, three days after = the calendar.

We're probably gonna get previews of that in the ViVi this month.. 10 days till the vivi comes out whee

I dunno what to say about 1Love...hearing only 15 seconds of it isn't a good way to gauge how good it truly is or isn't. Yes, it sounds a little repetitive, but perhaps it will be/won't be fitting with the rest of the song (hopefully the verses are more varied in melody)?

Remember, if you only heard the chorus part of 'NEVER EVER', how would your opinion of the song differ than if you had heard at least a verse and refrain?

i like the new image of ayu! hmm, i'm not sure i would like the song rather... i hope it lives up to my own expectations! *grins*

This occurred to me while watching the 1LOVE D-dock CM in HQ from tv-cm.net..

Is Ayu singing 1LOVE in another dialect of Japanese? O_O;

..........i just listen to the CM again.............is there anyway to make that dude not talk and just have Ayus song on there??:grumpy But i completely dont mind Ayu talking at the end :D,thats ok with me......its only that dude that keeps on talking :grumpy
