Dozens of OT posts about Ayu's hair has been trashed. PLEASE try to stay on topic. If you want to talk about her hair, go to the thread with the TA translation here: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95744

As for the single, I preordered both of the CD+DVD first presses thru mu-mo with my TeamAyu membership. I'm hoping the fleece will be cute since I'm getting two!

^^uhhh i cant wait to see them!!! :D


I'm still waiting to get some more money so i can purchase the cd only version ;) together with alan's new album :D

Same here.
I wish it whould be pink or so, but um yes, whouldn´t match the colors at the pre-orde page, I guess it will have similar colors as the guilty fleece from the Lucky draw.

Different approach? I wonder what can be different in terms of covers... But if they're really really good, I'll want to get all three of 'em.

I agree 100%
I hate Days, so it better not sound like that :no

if it sounds anything like HEAVEN or CAROLS I can die happy

I have learned not to believe anything Ayu says in her diary entries.

I hope Ayu won't suck my Christmas...

hm hm
xD

AHS members and their positive thinking

:innocent


EDIT: friend's quote



soooo true :yes

Nothing like Together When please. I think Together When is Ayu's worst Ballad and I cringe every time she gets to the chorus. It reminds me way too much of No way to say; that's what I call generic.
Days is not half as generic as Together When and is a million times more awesome.

The "different approach" thing probably means still Kazu, but he's trying something unusual for him. Let's hope that's a good thing. It most likely does NOT mean less photoshopping, since that happens at the end of the process really. Most likely, it just means they have a new type of set, a new type of clothing/costume, and/or an actual CONCEPT rather than just "fashion posing." Which would be nice.

I bet it just means she's wearing a different outfit on each of the covers, which when you think about it, isn't something she's done. So there's ALOT that "different approach" could mean - my recommendation is NOT to get your hopes up.

^I think that's something that should be said about the whole single, imo. Don't get your hopes too high up people, she's not capable of everything anymore lol

:lech I'll pray for it to be like Together When... :love

Days is generic by definition. Since ANYONE ELSE could have sang it and it would have been just as good, it wasn't uniquely Ayu at all, it sounded like everyone elses winter ballads from a few years ago, really. Together When... had emotion to it, Days was just pretty =/ imo, anyway That's why I'm hoping that these songs are nothing like days

Maybe so, but what I meant was I don't think by "something different' we're gonna completely different covers or whatever for the single, :laugh

Ayu feels really comfortable with Kazu, so~ hope for the best!

Days does has a pretty simple arrangement so I see why many find it generic, but I would really like to hear other songs similar to Days, can you mention a few?
Together When sounds like another song from her discography; I find that equally bad if not worse, emotion or not.

Hmmm, "different approach"..... Well, I'm not gonna think too much into it. I'll probably get my hopes up for something completely unrealistic and exaggerate the whole thing, lol.

As much as I love Days, this is the perfect way to put it. Like, I can totally imagine Kumi singing. The actual song sounds a lot like some of her ballades, actually. :\

And ugh, please God don't let it sound anything like CAROLS. That's one of the only Ayumi songs where I can almost say I hate it. I tried so many times to like it, but...no. :headache

Well, something like Dearest would surely make everyone happy. :)

But whatever... Sunrise and Sunset are still 'good songs' to me, so I'm an easily satisfied boy~ you heard that Ayu?!

Thanks, just my opinion^^

Days definitly was no bad song, but it was not special at all and I do not feel much when listening to it, Together When...though...has that magic in it...

I totally hope one of them sounds like Together When...!! One of my favourite Ayu ballads, mainly because it has a mysterious quality, which I really like in ballads!! Same reason I like Far Away and Endless Sorrow!

Not me, I don't get the hype for that song to be honest.
