Hahahahahaha, sorry but that "OVER PROTECTIVE MOMMIES MESS UP THEIR KIDS!" was so funny!!!! :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

well, just because it says it's short will there even be a longer one? vogue and whatnot stayed at that length

I think the fact that it's called a "short edit version" means there is actually a longer version out there or else they just would've said: MOON PV full.

Yeah it wouldn't be the short edit version, it'd just be MOON.

Just to clear up some misconceptions - their concerts are mostly live, they do write lyrics and music (sakurai and ninomiya mostly) but of course not to the same level as other artists (but certainly more than most boybands). but of course music is not the only thing that entertainers are concerned with. have you seen a monthly schedule for each member of arashi? I`m surprised they haven`t died. :thud

Bottom line is i think things could be getting promoted more for Ayu`s single but they just decided not to and not because of `busy` reasons. Arashi really has nothing to do with this, they are just the most convenient example of people who are insanely busy still working in the time to promote. I think someone hit the nail on the head when they said avex have maybe given up on trying to appeal to a wider audience.

I'm surprised we actually have people complaining about Ayu's SCHEDULE? Did I miss something? Did she suddenly turn into Utada Hikaru?

This is STILL the same Ayu that released a single in December, an album in April and ANOTHER single in July, with two more to go and two DVD releases in one year. Also a tour.

It is THAT Ayu we're talking about? Man, I can't imagine how life must've been for her back in the days.

I'm not an Arashi fan, but that is one big unfair false statement.

i'm sure the full PV will be up by tomorrow or thursday.

I understand where Sunshine was coming from now, but comparing 5 people to one, and that one person actually writing everything she does, compared to Arashi who I haven't seen every single live they've ever done but the fact that they don't sing live many times on MSta, etc., and that only some of their members contribute to some of the writing of their songs-- I think that's an unfair comparison and is the only reason I said that, which after all does have truth in it, or at least an exaggerated truth, but not a "big unfair false statement."

nope.i don't think so.i think the full version will not be uploaded on youtube or will be broadcasted on tv until they release this single

Well, I'm sorry if I seem harsh, but yeah. I tried really hard, but I truly don't see any speck of truth in that statement you made. They do sing live, they do write lyrics, and they do write music. Not all the time, but they do. SunshineSlayer has already given examples to back all this up.

True, one ayu cannot be compared to 5 arashi boys, but the way you put them down, as if they are fake stars who lip-sync and have no creative talent was nothing but unfair. You may not have meant it, but it sure came across as that.

That is exactly what I got from everyone's posts too even though I tried to ignore it. I don't even like Arashi tbh. It's just kind of hypocritical how whenever another artist is mentioned, everyone swarms on them to "bash" them just to make Ayu look better. Yet, no one dare better mention anything remotely bad about Ayu... We should all be respectful with our opinions.

It happens in almost every one of these threads :laugh

I want to say that if it's Johnny's, we know that maybe 60% or 70% of the time, they are not singing live...

Anyways, of course that they are doing all these shows, but I don't think you can call them "singers", because they are a group of talent who does singing, acting, radio, etc, while Ayu is solely focused on music, so I don't think that you can compare how busy Arashi is to how busy Ayu is, because they do two completely different things. They are also obviously not known for their great singing voices and profound and moving lyrics... so... but Ayu is not known for her funny and interesting shows... so it balances.

omg ilu ero :heart

words of truth there y'all

MOON/blossom is available for digital download in Japan. But I don't know if it's normal chaku-uta or chaku-uta full...
I'm sure someone here will be able to tell ^^

I think it's just uta. They have separate categories for uta / uta FULL, I believe.

It appears that the PV is available in chunks now.

Ahhh I hope someone can upload the full version here!! I'm so excited to hear it! :heart

Those are all chaku uta (and for MOON also incoming movie clip).

I wonder if meaning of Love (Acoustic Piano version) will chart on the RBT charts for months now like the original song :laugh
The Japanese seems to love putting it for people that call to them (probably they want to say to them something by that?)

Why do people make irrelevant comparisons in the first place? ....arashi/ayu....riiiight. and now people are offended because ayu is apparently never insulted here but someone else is. Nneverending pointless cycle

Anyhow. So I really want to here these remixes. I really want microphone remix.
Since that was my fan rnrc song.
And I hope the orchestra remix is lovely
