thanks truehappiness for the info....you are always so helpful :)
|
so ayu's Feel the love is the background song for H.I.S travel agent?
|
Well, at least it's some form of a tie-in :laugh
|
whoa. some promo after all. hahah
|
Yay, a tie iN!
|
not impressive but at least something
|
I think there could be another tie-in that hasn't been revealed yet.
|
Didn't crossroad also have a H.I.S CM tie-in? It was the best selling (not by a lot) out of the 48th~50th singles (but did less well digitally). Hopefully it can do well on both, Feel the love is more general public friendly. Still, it might back fire that it's not a winter ballad lol but we will see I guess.
|
I need to order my copy soon but I keep worrying about delivery during the holidays. I believe the tie in fits nicely as the song gives me a fun/happy feeling.
|
Wow, Feel the love strangely suit a promotion like this, lol. Happy to see some tie-in!
|
thanks for all the info!
I need to preorder this ASAP! |
i'm waiting the covers and more details on the TA versin so i'll do my pre-order
|
better than nothing at all
|
she just gets weirder and weirder tie-ins
|
Get them sales ayuma!
I don't know now if I'll buy it Id rather spend a billion yen on an album, not just a single. |
Can I get a preview for Merry-go-round, please?! :laugh
|

And a pv preview of Feel the love asap thx |
finally preordered! I'm starting to get all excited about it. lol
|
omg i need the covers >.<
i wonder if we'll ever get a calendar again... =\ |
Unfortunately, ayu won't be getting #1 for this single. Hey! Say! JUMP! are releasing on the same day. Since it happens, it pretty much means avex aren't interested to extend her record/streak even farther. Unless if they will push it back.
|
Ayu already broke the record for most #1 hits so it's OK if she doesn't get those anymore. Or that's what I feel. :)

Of course I want Ayu to get #1, but their seeming obession was starting to get ridicolous. |
Seems like Feel the love is gonna get another tie-in too? This time it's the theme song for CDTV.

Nice! |

Well, that's what we're about to fear. And then again, AKB48 is breathing down her neck for the most consecutive #1 singles by a female artist (though earlier we have said that AKB48's a group, but Ayu's a solo singer). To be honest, I do like BOTH Ayu and HSJ. But I haven't been recently listening to their music recently, mainly because of the lack of activities compared to, say, 2007, and I'm really stuck to my other interests, such as AKB48, Ayaka, Yanawaraba, Sayuri Sugawara...and I don't really care about the Oricon very much. |
oh I wanted #1 too :(
|
Avex has always seemed so strategic in the release dates of her singles.... who knows, maybe they're banking on all of these tie-ins, plus the fact that she hasn't put out a single in years to drive the sales? This just doesn't make much sense to me...
|
all their singles got #1.
I don't want to see her being beaten by Johnny's :( oh well |
i was gonna buy this single because of the #1, but now that it won't even get close to it i think i'm gonna pass....
|
^ nooooooo
you should still support her! :( |
you're right.
but i truly feel sad about it.. |
That is pretty disappointing. JE, why do you have to ruin things? Haha~
IIRC, KinKi Kids kind of did this when RAINBOW came out. |
It's unfortunate she won't get number one but at this point I don't even keep track of her sales. All I know is that I'm getting a copy and that's all I care about.
|
Well, maybe if she doesn't get #1 people will finally stop caring way too much about her streak? Maybe this way she can keep releasing singles without caring to keep her streak anymore (though I don't think she really cares about it)...
Of course I would love her to get #1, but it's totally ok for me if she doesn't as well, I just hope the single have nice sale numbers :) |
It isn't very important if she gets #1 or not....but I do think that the sales are quite important. Really hope that those sales will be at least decent because Feel the love is really nice and I doubt hard that the other song will be bad. I don't know why female singers' singles sell so bad these days in Japan.. Kumi Koda's last single sold 23k,isn't it right?? so bad :( Even Namie isn't selling good these singles. Let's support Ayu because she deserve it!At least with her albums if not with her singles.
|
well, we could dream about the #1 for one month at least hahah
|
i really want her to get #1...but it's okay...
|
Actually I'm not that sad if she will not get #1. I'm happy because they seemed to have learned a lesson with that paranoid fear of single records. avex could have planned better a single release after 3 years, imo. For istance, in a safe week.
It doesn't mean I wouldn't be happy if she will get the chance to be 1st, but it's not so tragic for me if she will not, neither :D |
If she get the #1, fine, if she doesn't, fine too, I don't care if she will get it or not, I'm more concerned about the music quality and how Merry-go-round will sound like, because I don't want it to be another Feel the love.
|
Finally, a JE's band is going to break that dramatic record. I only want good sales for our ayuma !!
|
Nothing lasts forever. ><
|
No #1 :( please ayu change the release date ASAP !!

If avex is serious/hell bent for her to still get #1 they should push the release date til Jan 2014 since the whole month of Dec will be filled with Johnny's releasing singles on a weekly basis
4th Dec - Kanjani8 11th Dec that week - Kis My Ft2 special unit Busaiku. Their single will be released on 13th 18th Dec - SMAP Xmas - Hey Say JUMP |
If AKB48 keep their sales rate, Ayu will lose her record soon, it doesn't really matter if she keeps her streak or not.
And it's not like she will be able to break the overall consecutive singles record anyway. So... fuck the streak. :P |

Watch Ayu outsell them like lmao y'all gotta believe. She may not be as active and shit or whatever but this is still our Ayumi Hamasaki.
|
Hey-Say-Jump's numbers are very crazy. Let's just say that they are usually her total sales for singles from 2006 onward in the first week...
|
Hey! Say! JUMP's previous single sold 217,803 in the 1st week . For their new 1 , they might be able to sell a bit higher as Ride With Me has a relatively strong promo tie in
|
I don't see a point of going on with that #1 sherade tbh. It doesn't matter how much it sells...
|
I don't really care about the record either, though I will say it stings that she's going to lose it to AKB48... o_O
|
well, we all knew this would happen one day since nowadays the only thing the japanese people care is about boybands and girlgroups, and this may go on for a decade or so until something new comes up and change the way they listen to music... and hell, fuck it, i thought a lot and i no longer care about it either. if avex and ayu don't care about it why should us?! let's just keep supporting her and hope she continues presenting us with good music. ^_^
|
I am just happy she releases new music after all the fuss about everything that concerns her in her private and professional life.
Times are different now so for her to reach No 1 is a bit far fetched but who knows. AKB48 have nothing to Ayumi Hamasaki sans their otaku fans |
She is still going to be known as a J-POP legend and amazing lyricist. I am so ready for this single! Want more info now!
|
it really doesnt matter coz its NOT labelled her 51st single. LOL
|
Make it a collaboration single so it doesn't count as 51st single
|
Yeah the marketing for this single is so bizarre. You'd think they'd want to use the weight of it being her first single after how many years, and the first after 50, ushering in a new era.
|
Actually, this is her 51st single, they might not have announced like "the 51st single", but they did say "The first single since "L" was released in September 2010" on the announcement, which pretty much settles it, this is the single after the 50th, which means it's the 51st...
|
Quote:
|
Labelling as 51st or not, it will be counted as her 51st single, cause it actually is.
How come people think it won't? |
Quote:
|
HBYA was also a single, with its own cover… I guess they mean the first physical single since L
|
This isn't like DREAM ON (Urata Naoya feat. Ayumi Hamasaki), this is an Ayu's single, the title of Feel the love doesn't even include "feat.DJ HELLO KITTY".
Ayu will lose the damn record finally, please accept it, lol! |
^ now she'll still hold the record until AKB beats her
oh well. I only hope she'll release another single next year |

The streak doesn't need to be sustained anymore, for now she will remain the solo female with most consecutive #1 singles, even if AKB48 can manage, they are still not female solo.
Only if a new solo female artist will rise to fame and will stay for many years, she would be able to reach that. At least if ayu will keep releasing singles all the avex release date choices discussions will stop and ayu will also be able to release a single whenever and how much she wants. Let's just hope she will use that option and keep releasing singles. ayu is beyond the proving to be legendary phase already. |
you said everything ^^
i just hope ayu wont end up being some sort of DJ like ami suzuki did '-' |
I lost count...how many consecutive #1 singles have AKB48 made (and about to be later in December)?

I love Ayumi. I like AKB48. I wonder why people talk about them. I mean, they are not in the same group (Ayumi for me is a solo female artist while AKB is a female idol group). EVEN when someone or some group (not just AKB) pass Ayu's record, I already satisfied. When she is at the top, she did very well. With her popularity and good sales. She is in her own league. And people remember who is Ayumi Hamasaki. When I asked my friends, do they know who is Ayumi Hamasaki, their answers are 'para para sakura'. When I asked them about other solo artists, they just know Ayu, Utada, some of them remember Namie and Koda Kumi. Isn't it great? Yes, I know her sales drop years by years but it also happen to other solo female artists too. For me, as long she write a new song, it's enough. The song is the 'bridge' that connect us to Ayu, not her records.
About the comparison, why we compare Ayumi and AKB48? Ayumi is a SOLO. AKB48 is a GROUP. It is unfair to compare. It's like we want to compare between meat and water. AKB48 or other idol group can sale well because of the marketing and each members' fans want to buy the single. So of course the sales become like that. If 'Ayumi' also consist of 48 members, with good marketing strategy, it can be like that too. But Ayumi is Ayu. So if we still want to compare, make it between Ayu and any members of AKB48 that do solo single project. Acchan, Tomochin, Yukirin, Mayuyu, and Takamina. Did they sale well too like when they are in the group? Come back to the single, I can't wait for the cover!!! |
Actually, for me Avex finally started to act like a dam normal company. I wouldn't want this super-pumped as her glorious, amazing, legendary 51 single since forever. It'd be pretty pathetic at this point, wouldn't it?
Tbh, she's doing what I wanted all along: stay low, single, some experiment. I could really cry (from joy). |

It said that finally Johny had announced last week the new single of Hey!Say!Jump! will be released the same day as Ayu's new single. It will be a challenge for Ayu and the press said that even though Ayu's new single is anticipated by her fans, it is still difficult for her to get no 1 on Oricon and maintain her streak. The last previous single of the boy band had been sold 218 000 copies for the first week while L only sold 70 715 copies. |
even press is worried lol why do i have a feeling Ayu and Avex doesn't give a shit about that at all xD
|
Meh, I only care it does well and is popular.
Have they announced lives yet? |
It's an article about the fact that the new single of Hey!say!JUMP has been announced (the previous week) for the the 25.12 and it will be difficult for Ayu to be #1 the first week even if fans are really excited about her new single !
The Johnny's playing a dirty trick to Ayu :/ |
It is Hamasaki Ayumi to release single CD of 3 -month about three years , " Feel the love / Merry-go-round " on the 25th of December , the potential for continuous lead medal count record in the weekly single ranking Oricon to stop it 's that came out .
