[rumor] New single is to be called 'dancing'
 

According to Hong Kong newspapers, the new single of ayu is to be called 'dancing', which is accompanied with the new drama series ' Slow dance'. the news reports that ayu competes with ELT, Ami and Ai for the song, but of course, being the queen of Avex and J-pop, she still wins!

And by the way, ayu is the only female singer who managed to get into the top 20 single chart of the 1st half year, with STEP you/is this LOVE? ranking the 9th! Congratulations to ayu, hurray!!!!!

Is this source reliable?

Dancing...that would be interesting. I hope AYu dances in the PVs then. hehe.

i duno....kinda hard 2 rely on sources from the HK newspapers......thankz anyways

thanks for the info! although I kind of agree with skydiver4lyfe...^^

Well, hk news is reliable for news about music!
It described very clearly about the drama!!!!
Besides, there is more than one newspaper mentioning the same news!
So, it is true, i guess :yes

Are you f-ing kidding me.

dancing.............i sounds kinda like a name for an r&b single or something

well.. this is an newpaper article.. then i will believe this... and i hope its a good one... since ayu never really did something "dancing" song...

Mai Kuraki had a single with the same title not so long ago :P

WOW..i think it's official
hmm "dancing" i don't really like the title
i think symbol title is more nice
ayu song is rarely become a theme of drama
so if this true, the song must be really cool!
just wait and see the official news about this

congratz ayu for being number 9th at top 20 halfyear 2005

I hope this is fake, I'm not really liking the title...

That would be great. :D

somone said, the Ayu's new single is K
release: 27/27/2005
tracklist :

DISC.1

01． flare up！-Original Mix-
02． not you-Original Mix-
03． alterna-Original Mix-
04． flare up！-Instrumental-
05. not you-Instrumental-
06. alterna-Instrumental-

DISC.2 [DVD]

01． flare up！-video clips-
02． alterna-video clips-

But someone else already said Ayu's new single is "GULLIBLE."

K is a fake
and BigJimmyC where did you get that fake rumor?
dancing is the most trustful rumor now

I don't trust HK newspapers, because they already wrote a lot of nonesens

Well, if the show is indead called "Slow Dance", it probabally means that the song is a nice ballad. The title "Dancing" doesn't have to mean r&b or hip hop dancing. :)

I believe BigJimmyC was being sarcastic. :)

omg so much unidentical rumors about getting me mad, I'll wait for the official announcment

Don't know about the title, but the top 20 single chart thing sounds nice.

why is it always one or two words? lol

I rather believe this one. hhh
--------------------------------------


elvis810, thanks for post this rumore though.
But the whole thing is just too hard to believe.
And which HK newspaper is this? Maybe we can search it up.

You should always. Rumors are laughs only.

i will wait until it appears on tower japan.

hmmm....welll it may be dancing but i dont like that title name because it' sounds too typical....hopefully not

but if it is than hopefully it'll be good

wait a minute isn't Ayu's next single is "alterna"??? or is it just one of the songs that are going to be on the album??? :eyebrow

the single is to be release in August..they're saying how
avex's artists were fighting over to sing the theme song for the drama
because of Hirosue Ryoko is making a comeback to star in a new jdrama since giving birth 1 year ago
also according from the news, ayu is the only female made it in the Oricon chart for the first half ranking at 9

edit:

nevermind...I've found the news article and i'm pretty sure that this newspaper
is telling the truth they never make fake news about music/dramas etc
otherwise..if the artists themselves change it

借廣末新劇挫亞美氣勢 濱崎步爭唱主題曲志在必得
6月 7日 星期二 03:00 更新

【太陽報專訊】廣末涼子宣布復出，由她夥拍妻夫木聰的富士重頭劇《Slow Dance》可謂備受注目，令濱崎步(新聞 - 網站 - 圖片)、大塚愛及鈴木亞美等多位歌手對該劇虎視眈眈，望能為新劇獻唱主題曲！

廣　告

廣末產後逾一年，復出頭炮劇集《Slow Dance》已安排下月起於「月9」（周一晚上9時）黃金時段播出，同劇還有妻夫木聰、深津繪里、藤木直人 及小泉孝太郎等合演，陣容十分鼎盛。

有說日本不少歌唱單位正為爭唱此劇主題曲而絞盡腦汁，不過最後主唱權還是落入天后級的濱崎步手上，她將於8 月推出全新單曲《dancing》，新歌似乎是為廣末這部新劇度身訂造。據知，步姐同門的大塚愛、倖田來未 、鈴木亞美、Every Little Thing亦曾加入戰團，但由於步姐的一姐地位仍穩如泰山，加上唔輸得的她，亦要向眼中釘亞美還以顏色，故 步姐向唱片公司施壓後，終獲得今次的主唱權。

唯一女星打入銷量十大

另外，日本Oricon公布上半年細碟銷量成績，當中步姐是唯一女歌手打入前十名，她憑細碟《 STEP you》佔據第9位；至於男子組合決明子則以大熱歌曲《櫻花》輕易摘冠，唱片推出未夠4個月已錄得91萬張 銷量，距離百萬銷量指日可待！而當紅組合 ORANGE RANGE的《*~ASTARISK~》及KinKi Kids的《Anniversary》，則分別佔亞軍及季軍位置。

hmmm... thx for the rumor ^^

i think it can be true..that dancing is a ballad song
and i think it can be not a title of single
its just gonna be a title for one of her song..

Im really puzzled....so many fakes....

we won't know until it is official announce

hmmm... when GAME was about to release, alot ppl said that the single tittle will be GAME.. almost everyone don believe bout the tittle INSPIRE... which actually did came out as INSPIRE.... then later on About you was premiered through BAKE's cm... but then it didnt turn out a single... so either dancing is true, and alterna will be the 2nd track, or dancing is true and alterna will turn out to be an album track this year end...

aiks.. so many rumours..

She competes with ELT? I don't think so. To me ELT's better, but in sales, Ayu's always ahead of them.

Are there actually time ELT was every ahead of Ayu? o_o;

Well in any case, I hope the news will be released (officially) soon.

To me, I dont like the title.....just doesnt seem right for some reason. I think she could come up with a better title than that. But we'll see I guess.

I hope they say something official soon too. Anyway, I like the name of the single, and a theme song for a soap opera would be really good.

The album only songs come out in CMs closer to when the album comes out. A song in a commercial now wouldn't be an album only track.

The people who complain about the title of the single are morons, in my opinion.

Who ****ing cares what it's called? It's about the music.

^haha, but people ALWAYS complain about the song titles! Yet...a few weeks later they're fine with the title.

"Dancing" doesn't seem like an Ayu title...

exactly. when the last single came out, everyone was like, " 'STEP you/is this LOVE?' what is that!? i refuse to believe!!! blah blah blah" (and i must admit, i was probably one of these people)

now all these rumours are coming out about the titles, yeah who cares, the music is what counts! hopefully whatever the new single is will come out soon and it will be good.

i hope that this is true. "dancing" is not the kind of title i would expect ayu to use in a single, but even so it's great !!

"dancing" eh?

Oh here we go.

Ayu has such a wide range of titles, I don't know how people expect only a certain type lol

who gives a crap what it's called? all i care is that a new single is on the way.

:yes

Well she still hasn't released EGG yet, she's been sitting on that onw for a while.. HAHA :)

I don't like the sound of "dancing".

Heh, interesting rumor.

Hum Alterna + Dancing? another double single?... She just released STEP YOU/ Is this love? ..... ... .... . ...

err...dancin'....i dun like this title...nothin' spesho~

This has to be a rumor! Ayu would never do something like this

I don't know what I think of it, although, it is my last idea about what her last single would be lol.

dear lord. :3

She's done worse.

Dancing.. eh..

Poo World sounds like an awesome title. :yes

I think the cover attracts more attention than the title.

Comments like this always make me laugh. Like it's the end of the world or something. :)

"what of Ayu got an album with a great title like "My Story" and gave it a stupid unoriginal name."

Funny, I seem to remember when that title was originally announced how the majority of people thought it was completely unoriginal and didn't like it...

seriously :laugh Whether people like the titles or not, oh well. If they're released, they're released because it had meaning to Ayu, not because it sounds "cool" or not. It is her music after all.

C'mon let's not even compare the word "poo world" with the word "dancing". Even if this is a rumour, if she actually puts a title called dancing all we have to expect is whether the lyrics and song will be good or not. A lot of times titles like that makes people think the rhythm of the song will be directly related to the title, but well, it COULD even be a ballad, as I'm tired of seein songs called "Rock 'n Roll" that are actually slow acoustic ballads. The title is no aberration at all, and there's still the chance this rumour might be proven false. The people who don't even know ayu won't pick the cd no matter if it's called "dancing" or "forgiveness" or "WHATEVER" LOL :laugh

:yawn

This is much more interesting! :ybiggrin

:vbhappy

I know what you meant about titles being important. I just wanted to mention that "dancing' is actually not a VEEERY horrible title like some make it seem like. Just think if she actually were to name a song EGG ahaha :laugh

I'll just wait until the actually single comes out to think about the title :yes

it is real

I think when people hear 'dancing' they automatically relate to Britney Spears... And they think it's going to be a crap song because the title is very simplistic. Look at 'YOU', 'SCAR', 'SEASONS'... all very generic song titles in my opinion, but all are very good songs. It probably will be a ballad, hence the name of the drama 'slow dance'. It's probably dancing in a romantic kind of way and not in an 'omg BoA, Britney Spears!!' type way...

It's odd if 'alterna' ends up being only an album track, it seemed perfect for a summer single. And now we're going to have to wait probably 6 months to hear it.

That's exactly what i thought but didn't know how to say it and you explained it perfectly. That's why I mentioned the possibility of the song being a ballad, who knows. And yep, the title "dancing" can actually have a deep meaning, because the lyrics might actually have anologies with a couple in love dancing. (anyway, I'd better not try guessing to much on an unconfirmed title, because it can possibly not be real ahhaha)

XD Haha, Big Jimmy, yer funny! XD

Hey, what's going to happen to 'alterna' then? I didn't really get a good listen to it in the CM...I suppose 'alterna' will be on her single, but 'dancing' is an odd name...Usually those Hong Kong papers are right though. They predicted STEP you/is this LOVE? I have to admit I was skeptical too, but then it turned out right. STEP you was a weird name, that's for damn sure! XD 'dancing' wouldn't surprise me. ^_^

HAHAHAHA that is so true!!!
or the other way around...you either hate it or like it
hardly anyone like nor hate a single

alterna could be one of the song in the 'dancing' single out in July(maybe?)
we'd probably seeing a triple a side single like H or & again!!!
I hope...

omg! i hope that this isn't true :(

oh..and I was just thinking...what if this is another 'Trilogy' ayu is trying to do again

vogue=alterna (July)

Far away=dancing (August)

SEASONS=Shinobi theme (September)


i sure hope that's what ayu will do hehe :D
that'd be so nice!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear god when does the horror end ...

that'd be great! :yes but I don't think that would actually happen :rolleyes

I so hope ayu dances in this pv she's got a great body and she shouldn't be afraid to show it off. That being said if anyone tries to take her place (BoA) it's not gonna happen no matter what because even when she retires she'll still be #1!!! Go Ayu!!!

BoA is good, but not good enough. She only has a few good songs and most of her other songs are quite bland. Not to mention her concerts are oh so boring...

Well happy to know there might be 3 new songs. Hope to hear all 3 soon

:laugh :laugh

i don't like the title.. i think it's a fake :)

go ayu! that's awesome news. thanks for postin!
oh and just becasue some of you don't like the name "dancing" doesn't mean it's gonna be a bad song. look at "alterna".. i didn't like the name so much at first. .. but then i heard some of the song and it's a pretty good name. So don't hate the name just yet.. wait until the single is release. yknow.

i remember that as well. every single and album that comes out, everyone hates the title...and then the cover...you KNOW everyone always hates the cover. yet...a month later, everyone loves it all. bah.

Sorry! I'm jost against Hong Kong's Media NEWS after wot they're always dofin' . Plus, i think "Dancing" is totally a fake rumor. I dun't know. I jost dun't believe it. They always give sume fart...

so the "dancing" title is the most believable to date

dAnCing ....

:laugh

Funny how it's only a few of us who think like this, while the rest of the forum is going crazy haha.

Dancing... nah..

Ditto

thanks for the info ;)

Well, I was exagerrating to make a point. A lot of people hated the cover of My Story and the cover of STEP you/is this LOVE? as well as plenty of others. And then, a lot of people hated the titles as well, plus titles like Humming 7/4 and My Name's Women. It just seems like the norm is to complain until the single/album comes out and then after a few weeks everyone suddenly loves it.

I don't see why people are still complaining. First, it's only a title. Second, it's only a rumor.

now THAT i do agree with! its all about attention, the more positive attention an artist gets, the more negative there is to go along with it.

dancing sounds...disgusting, i don't like that title, and k is a f--ing fake too, oh guys please make some trustworthy rumors...

I think no matter what is the title of the song, I think if it is a song that Ayu going to sing, it will be a great song.

If the song title turns out really to be "dancing", I guess all of us still have to accept it. Of course, we need to respect ayu's decision on the title since she titled that way. There must be some meanings behind it, which will need us to find out. SO now, why cares so much about the title now? Let us wait till the official account from avex is released. We discussed so much down here but if it is true, we won't be able to change the title too.

1 thing that i can confirm. Ayu ROCKS!

Exactly. I think why a lot of people have negative feelings towards it, is the word "Dancing" immediately springs to mind something like hip hop or techno and what not. And if the song does turn out to be a hip hop song, THEN I'll be dissappointed. :)

But, like I said before. With the title of the show being "Slow Dance" and with Hirose starring in it, you know it's going to be something understated, so I'm hoping that the song is a ballad, all waltzy and classical like - then the title "Dancing" is perfect.

OKAY OKAY!

i LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVE the title!

LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOVE dancing!

the best best BEST title!

yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!!

go go go dancing!

*being sarcastic :laugh*

i think its funny how everyone is getting worked up over a rumor.

That's the nature of a rumor.

well hopefully it is a rumour XD

According to sanspo the "slow dance" theme will be by Masaharu Fukuyama, not Ayu:

thanks for the updated news

yay so that gives a lesser chance of Ayu's next single to be called "Dancing" the :D

Wow, it's good that the title of the new single isn't that bad !!!!!!
