I went to the TBS website to find this so called Dorama. Well it's a little different from what I have herad. I does have that Noriko Fujiwara from "Mukashi no Otoko" what a coincidence. It also isn't about some hotel. But I could be wrong and it is placed in the 70's. But you can chenck it out for yourself.

It has Fujiwara Norika? They must like to put her in doramas with Ayu songs as the theme song. Mukashi no otoko was a twisted dorama.

I think you are looking at a different program chikyuu13. The title of this one is 高原へいらっしゃい (according to kawai the english title is "Welcome to Highland") and it stars Satou Kouichi, Haruka Ikawa, Takewaki Muga, and Masahiko Nishimura.

This is the TBS page about the program (I think it is the 1976 version):

The new cast list is from kawai and this page:

The drama you're referring to (with Norika Fujiwara) is on air right now in Japan. Thanks for looking though!

But the title is to be determined.. -_-

lol ur soo true undetermined^^

I wonder what's the title? I mean if you put "A" and "H" together(puns sorta-the letter A is pronounced eh? which means what and H is pronounced ecchi, which is like pervert or something.), you get the first letter of Ayu's names. I hope she makes pvs this time, cause in 2002 she didn't make that many-only 4, and so far only one in 2003.

I hope it has remixes too. Maybe they'll be rock songs.. I have no idea.. Maybe a rap song, ballad, dunno.

the formats the same as with }{ = there're 3new tracks, both with original / insturmental versions...

Thanks for the information^_^ Can't wait. I hope there's a R&B type song on the single...I think she does better singing R&B type songs than pop. Her ballads are good but her "Rainbow" album had too many ballads on it, I think a R&B/Hip-Hop single would be refreshing to hear from Ayu. Hip-Hop/R&B is getting pretty popular in japan and Ayu started out in the music industry as a rapper (until people told her that she should sing instead). But I'm a R&B fan so I'd like a R&B song better than a ballad or upbeat rock song. If she was to release a R&B song I think the style should be similar to the things Toni Braxton, Amerie, or Amanda Perez do.

But I still can't wait to hear her new single.

Well if Ayu came out with an R&B song, that'd be like going against Utada Hikaru.

Ah, no I dun like the R&B song and Hip-hop ,too. She will be more like Hikki. Cuz, I hate Hikki most all my life and will continue till die. I just like the song First love and Sakura doroppusu. I wanna Ayu sing this 2 song someday. Just wonda what it likes.

I really really want those 10 tracks singles again, too bad there's no hope here still.

But what's that 'bonus features'?

Only 3 new songs? :curse ... I wonder who'd buy this for that few new songs, but I'd imagine the "bonus features" to be some type of image booklet or something :P

hmm intresting

'Three new songs' means three A-side songs, not three tracks.






Have a Happy Day!

}{ sold a million copies and it only had 3 new songs. It's just a single (and many singles will only have 2 or 1 new songs). It just depends on the person who's buying if they think it's worth it or not.

i don't think ayu can sing those two songs...besides, hikki wrote/composed them herself. and i like all her songs.


about the new single, i can't wait till it's release! i like all ayu's ballad so i'm looking fowards.

i think its a good concept.. [}{] was cool

i am really excited now =). hopefully ayu will make more pvs this year! go ayu!

No matter its true or not... Thnx for the info:wave kawai
