This is probably the last one of this cycle. Reminder that there is a tour version of the single in the covers section. |
Wow, that tour version is beautiful. I like it better than the other covers actually.
|
I'm a bit lost. tour version? is this a replacement of the 4th and cancelled blossom/moon cd+dvd version? it only has 2 tracks? so it's similar to kumi's "playroom" edition singles. hm...
|
^ It has the live versions of MOON and blossom, if I'm not mistaken (^^) I don't think it's a replacement for b/M CD+DVD though~
|
It's also only 800 yen though too.
|
They aren't live are they? I thought it was just the same single stripped down.
Also, is there a high quality pic of the cd+dvd cover anywhere? |
I had one up here, I guess the link is down for now.
They are just the single with MOON and blossom. No insts and no remixes. |
^ Ohh! I'm sorry, I saw "LIVE" under the picture and assumed it was the live version XD Woops XD
|
I hope someone upload the live version...or is it just the same?
|
^I think is the same :)
|
^ gah... you're right! :heart love it much better than the actual covers~
|
Yes the live version cover is gorgeous!
|
I just order 2 copies each of the tour edition(with poster) and 2 copies of the special edition ones, so that's 4 more copies!
|
Ayu has addressed why she hasn't had any television performances for MOON/blossom in twitter!
Quote:
And because I am in this current state, as far as music programs are concerned, I made the judgement that I wouldn't be able to show or display the songs that I gave consent for, and I took the liberty of holding back on those programs this time. With the rest of the tour, the start of A-Nation, the continuous recording of new songs, and with the tour finale that starts again in Autumn, without a doubt, I will send you[continued in next twitter. Actually, she talks about great level of entertainment in this one, but because of Japanese grammar, in english you have to talk about sending first.] A great level of entertainment, so please understand this... with that out of the way, let's raise our heads high today too. Let's go walking! |
Thanks Maikaru!
Ayu's finally taking care of herself!! I'm glad she decided not to do shows to conserve her throat and voice in better shape~~ |
Yeah it seems that ayu started really being responsible and takes care of her voice better. ^^
|
Oh, I see... I think she's playing on the "safe" side that she's not doing TV performances because she's too busy with the AT2010 and the upcoming a-nation...
I hope she gets better soon! |
it's okay but it's a little dangerous for her... She could have done Mags whatever...
|
What about magazines or radio? Even do a few television interviews gah
|
The covers from teh special version are the best it is just georgus.
And i think it is good she takes care about her voice, so recording will be better, and so she sing better at live. I just hope she will do tv shows for her coming singles. |
OMG I LOVE THE TOUR COVER!! need it in HQ..
|

Where do you order the CD? I would like to have it since in my country, it's hard to get~~~~~:( |
Thanks, Maikeru! Lol, I had only seen the second tweet last night, and thought, "Huh. What does she mean?" but I thought I made a mistake in translating XDD Thanks for the full version!
I love the live version's cover soooooo much omg :heart I want it!!!!!! :bawl |

Poor Ayu, working so hard. Who cares if she is on Music Shows anyway. The special edition cover looks better than the "official" covers. Too bad.
I don't know why but I just can't get into this single. Neither Moon or blossom seem that special to me. I don't have the desire to listen to them at all. And after I do I almost immediately forget what they sound like. That never happened before with Ayu songs. This is making me scared and sad. I hope the next single will be better, maybe with TK involved. |
I feel a little of that too Mai82Go. :(
My favorite songs on this single are easily the microphone remix and the meaning of love acoustic piano. Moon and blossom both seem a little forgettable to me. Like, when I play them I find that it's hard not to just tune them out. |
Can somebody order me the 800Y version by mu-mo, if I send you a payment via paypal? I don't have anyway to order from mu-mo, and I like that cover alot more.
|
That's using your noggin ayu :laugh.

Ayu not talking about magazines or radios though..
but it seems that there will be none~ maybe we should all ask ayu about her magazine schedules haha ~ |
Quote:
because 48th and 49th single is the single to decide that if she can break the record or not.so,48th , 49th and 50th single is the most important single for ayu XD :P |

But I'm quite wondering about this - it might be possible for Ayu to release a single on September 1st, but I'm not sure - I know that miwa and Sayuri Sugawara will be, but they're not as high-caliber as Ayu - but is there any other artists that are going to be releasing singles on September 1st? I'm possibly thinking that is one possible date there in September for the 49th single... |
Not sure if everyone knows this but...
(I think) The limited 800 and 1000 yen MOON/blossom versions have different packaging. "紙ジャケット仕様" is referring to the fact that this will be packaged in more of a paper slip case sort of deal. Not the normal plastic packaging. http://www.souyousya.net/kamijak/cd-3.jpg Like this. And then the "booklet" is inserted into that. Not 100% sure though. Unless it means that the booklet is just folded and inserted into the paper jacket like the serial numbered cards and such, which is then packaged in a plastic case. *shrug* |

^ah, sorry. I mean the limited 800/1000 yen MOON/blossom cds haha. I'll edit that :P
|
lol.i see.i wanted to buy it (800yen ) but i don't know how to order it using tenso. :(
since its so light,i think its abit expensive if i buy it using tenso since EMS minimum fee is 900yen :irked |

I´ve just heared to the whole single and i think it´s really good.MOON is a great ballad, and i totally feel it. blossom is not whas i was expecting but it has a really catchy melody and i love it. The Microphone remix has been really surprising; i love it! (i don´t like remixes), Last Links Orchestra Version is more dramatic than the original, but a little bit long.Don´t Look Back remix is just okay and meaning of love (piano version) is soooo beautiful. I think this single is really good, i would like to see MOON on Music Station.
|
If anyone wants it, i'm selling my Moon/Blossom and Blossom/Moon CD's in my selling thread, so I can save up to buy the mu-mo version.
Both are brand new/never opened with the posters for 800yen. |

I wouldn't deny that there're some songs in her discography I don't like like I didn't like Ladies Night but I really adore the remix in her BLUE BIRD single super big time Also most recently , I don't really like the meaning of Love from Rock'n'Roll Circus but somehow after I gave the acoustic mix a listen , it kinda made me appericate the original take a lot more than usual |
Yep, meaning of Love is amazing.
My most favorite ballad of all time :D Actually yesterday I heard MOON in the earphones and it made me kind of teary, so that's when it started to strike me hard (even though I liked it from the beginning) but now I feel that MOON is an amazing song. I love it a lot and it's a song ayu should have released right now so I'm glad. blossom is still really cool and the verses are beautiful. Melancholic chorus I like that too. I still don't know which one wins but meanwhile it looks like MOON's gonna get it lol. Still not sure though. |

It is just hard for me, after loving Ayu for so many years to have her release songs as a single that I don't really get. And the even more scarier thing is that what I heard of crossroad so far, doesn't make me excited for more. Sometimes Ayu's songs just are better in the context of an album, that's true. And I absolutely have to agree with the "the more you listen to it, the better it get's" It is possible that atm I'm just not in the mood for this kind of music and start to realize how great this single really is in a few months or so. But the fact remains that usually after hearing an Ayu song for the first time I want to listen to it again, again and again. And for this single it just didn't happen. :( |
i feel very similarly. i am not one of those people to nitpick and bash every new ayumi release. that drives me crazy. i usually love her new releases.
i loved next level. i still think it might be my favorite ayumi album ever. as for rock'n'roll circus, when i first heard it, i found it to be very underwhelming. microphone sounded like just another rock song, and sexy little things in particular just sounded ridiculous to me. i was horrified the first time i heard sexy little things. after a week or two though it turned out that i actually love both songs. i mean, i freaking love them both now. so it is very possible that moon and blossom will grow on me and others. i guess for me though, it can be hard to appreciate her standard songs in comparison to some of her more experimental sounds like sparkle or sexy little things. one of my big fears though is that after loving ayumi since 2000/2001, that some day she will start releasing music that i don't like and that i will lose interest in her. its hard to believe that an artist can consistently release song after song that i love. i don't know who i'd listen to without ayumi, haha. but then again, with practically 10 years of being a fan of ayumi, what is the likelyhood i would ever not be a fan? she feels like part of my life (sad, right?), even though the occassional song might be a miss for me. |
There's nothing wrong to dislike a couple of songs from her, guys.
Would be weird and sick love everything she does D: I love Ayu, even though I could be a bad fan because I don't buy every release or I don't love that much her concerts (not because she's bad, just because I'm feeling sad to see her in a video lol). But I find few songs awful and boring. Some are grown on me, some not. I mean, don't stress yourself just because you don't like some of Ayu's songs. You're smart enough to has your own personal taste and not being a fangirl who says 'OMG THAT'Z AMAZIIING!!11 THE SONG OF DE YEAR *_*<3<3' for everything lol. |

I expected it would be aboout something like this but I'm so much more proud of her for admitting it; it really displays that she'll put performance first in a way, despite not doing them. This is because if she doesn't hold back on these performances, her voice will suffer, and she won't be able to do the rest of the performances well. I'm so proud of her! |

^ You're right! Never thought of it that way~! (^^)
|
well, i'm one of them. i bought one of the 800yen version to give to my friend who like ayu too. she will be very very happy. (^_^)
|
OMG I pre-ordered 3 copies - -
http://image163.poco.cn/mypoco/mypho...037976_000.jpg http://image163.poco.cn/mypoco/mypho...037976_001.jpg pics are from yahoo.jp |
^WOOW thank for the pics! It is beaautifull.
|
so it is just a slipcase! looks nice though.
|
That is like REALLY nice. I want it now. :weep
|
omg that looks amazing!
|
Ooh, his pretty. It looks quite refreshing, I hope Avex releases versions like this in the future. It looks really nice, and it saves a lot of space.
|
it would be great if it was sold in stores too. that way casual fans who aren't going to pay full price might just pick up this version instead and sales would boost a little.
|
Wow soo nicee!! I got 2 1000 yens version (one fro angel ayumi that askedme to buy it for him~) and mu-mo ship them today~ I wonder whic day this copies will ne coutned towards oricon.. tomorrow??
|
wow.it look nice.i feel like want to buy a copy also
|
Mannn I want a copy of the slipcase
|
Ohhh I want one :D Looks cool
|
800 yen is simply too much for a paper slipcase without remixes.
|
^
according to the money converter 800 yen = 7 € / 9 $ more or less. I think its a good price for a cd like that, imo. |
Quote:
|
I signed up for Mu-Mo if anyone wants a copy of the new version, let me know.
|
For those of you who ordered through tenso, what was the final cost of your spending?
|
Quote:
and yeah. $9 is really good. I'd buy it if i actually wanted the single lol. i think that's cheap. |
Quote:
you can get the cd only versions for 1000 yen with poster, a real cd case and remixes + instrumentals. imho it's simply not a good deal. |
I really miss the times when a single of Ayu was full of remixes like the past...
|
i realli love the tour version single cover. best of the 4 =) too bad i can't get my hands on it
|
OMG I didn't know some people want this LIMITED EDITION
= = If anyione really really want it I can help you because my friend will go to the TOUR on 24th and he will have 2 days to purchase this CD |
Quote:
|
why I said so
because a 800yen version is cheaper than the postage = = |
Quote:
|
here is a total price of mu-mo and my friend CD 800 yen version
Japan to USA 2 490yen(CD version 800yen+1200yen+490yen)=28.7662USD China to USA my friend price is 186RMB=27.4536USD(including EMS postage) |

OMG... i want it sooo baaad..... :( :(
|
oh.so the songs are mastered in London and recorded in Japan.does this means she actually finish record both songs before she went to London?
|
That would explain her somewhat strained voice in blossom... As she sounds much better live now than what she did last year.

Koji Morimoto mentioned something about having a song done (YESTERDAY) when it came to mixing... and he was sending it off to London. I think they want to have every song mastered in London, haha. http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/9737/gentei1.jpg http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/3149/gentei2.jpg http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/9416/gentei3.jpg THE CDs.
