aaaaah yeah never mind I remember it was duet Tsunku.

Cool anyways.

Cherry Dynamite 31st August 2010 05:12 PM

I listened to the original it's pretty cool. I can't wait to hear Ayu's version.

AyuGAME 31st August 2010 05:45 PM

i wonder why so many people said that the song is good...
i already download the TM NETWORK version, and it's so blah for me...i don't like it at all...
i hope ayu will re-arrange it 100% so the new version will be very ayu-ish

Yoake 31st August 2010 06:08 PM

Thanks for sharing.^^

rakeru 31st August 2010 08:40 PM

Thanks for the update! I never thought of it that way, but it's true-- she almost never does covers.

JinHamasaki 1st September 2010 12:43 AM

I hope they rearrange SEVEN DAYS WAR to ROCK, I the title sounds so rockin' it needs some great guitars!

*°wann_ayubabies°* 1st September 2010 12:48 AM

wonder why Ayu is covering a song...

anyway thanks for the info!!!

Mirrorcle Monster 1st September 2010 01:26 AM

Yeah I don't get it. It's soo boring. I mean, it's like 100x more boring than the ayu songs people here consider boring too lol.. so I expected people to hate it.
I hope it'll get re-arranged too but I kind of am doubting it. Maybe ayu's voice/emotion put into it can save it too. ~trying to keep positive here~ lol

AyUta 1st September 2010 03:18 AM

oh, interesting. thanks for sharing.

Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~ 1st September 2010 02:03 PM

gosh, I'm tired of covers~~~ :D :(

Lanz16 1st September 2010 02:55 PM

Interesting update :)

I found the song really nice.
I thought that it would be a trance-rock ballad kind of song but its a rock ballad.


Check it out here to listen the original version

hehe she only ever did 2 covers and SEVEN DAYS WAR will be just the 3rd one..

Kanzaki 1st September 2010 03:05 PM

I think this will be absolutely amazing. I've just got a good feeling about this. The original is so-so, but I think Ayu will take it to a new level.

greenteadrinker 2nd September 2010 02:55 AM

^ Yeah I agree. To me it makes sense that she'll be covering another Komuro song since he wrote crossroad. I'm really looking forward to this single.

waterballoon 2nd September 2010 09:52 AM

I love how they didn't mention Jaejoong appearing in the blossom PV :laugh

AyUmIXx 2nd September 2010 10:17 AM

^
they didn't mention because this article it's about ayu covering a male artist~
all the info about the single and the content are just the additional haha XD

waterballoon 2nd September 2010 10:22 AM

^ but u know most articles like this love to add random info, so I'm pretty glad they didn't this time :laugh

AyUmIXx 2nd September 2010 01:13 PM

^ haha what if they added that info bout JJ? wahaha..
they should have said, for the first time, ayu will release a PV without her in it, the whole PV will be acted by a famous male artist instead.. XD

Peruseusu 2nd September 2010 11:26 PM

thx 4 posting ^^

and about love... it was originally written for her by tsunku but she had to rewrite the lyrics and did it twice for love~destiny~ and love~refrain~, there is also a third "love" (the one with original lyrics) but tsunku sang it himself... i think.

mobius 3rd September 2010 03:33 AM

So SDW is going to be a cover song.

Listening to the original, I'm not feeling it at all, lol.

Hopefully Ayu can make this song better.

PEARL 3rd September 2010 07:14 AM

SEVEN DAYS WAR sound so nice~
i think ayu can cover it well with her deep voice lol

C+R+E+AYUMI 3rd September 2010 08:37 AM

"SEVEN DAYS WAR"...i like the title...I honestly didn't know the singkle included a cover...

anyway i believe i won't listen to the original until i listen to ayu's version

Mayayu 3rd September 2010 11:17 AM

I have such a good feeling about Ayu covering this song!!!

Thank you Lanz16 for sharing the original version, i didn't like the whole idea of making a cover before but now that i've heard the song i think Ayu will work wonders with it :yes

lol yeah!

I hope Ayu's version of SEVEN DAYS WAR will be more.. interesting

Midori-chan 3rd September 2010 01:15 PM

I like the title of the song. "SEVEN DAYS WAR" sounds pretty amazing to me.
I can't wait to hear Ayu's version! :yes

AyUmIXx 3rd September 2010 03:17 PM

the SEVEN DAYS WAR sounds kinda related to 7 DAYS SPECIAL XD
the original version sounds kinda weird lol... but let see how Team Ayu gonna arrange it..

anyway, did SEVEN DAYS WAR somehow a hit song back then?

The third "LOVE" is "LOVE ~since1999~" and it was the b-sinde of the single "LOVE ~Destiny~". It was a duet with Tsunku. Two weeks after Ayu's release of "LOVE ~Destiny~" Tsunku released together with 7HOUSE also a single called "LOVE". One of it's tracks was "LOVE ~Dakiatte~" and another was the duet with Ayu "LOVE ~since1999~".

Here is a link of "LOVE ~Dakiatte~": http://www.jpopasia.com/play/19236/t...at-7house.html

this is only her 3rd? cover ever released. I'd say that's not a lot for someone who has been in the business for almost 12 years. I think that its great that she's actually covering a male song, too.
Thanks for the news. :)

anayufan 9th September 2010 11:42 AM

yeah i always love her covers! and the original isn't too bad but i agree with those who say SEVEN DAYS WAR looks and sounds like it could have potential to be a more rockish song! i can already hear the guitars so hopefully ayu won't disappoint!

of course she can also go the other traditional ayu way and make it a nice sweeping ballad with strings. because i can also hear something more similar to curtain call, Voyage, or BALLAD here! you know those "aah's" at the end could make for a nice choir section!
