18 Weeks NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP
 

I have this question since the (July)1st day I watched Startin' PV and it's about the scene where the two Boys(& Girls XD) are in the video club and the black guy goes to the front desk and on the Will (sorry, wall) behind him there is a label that says:

18 Weeks
Never Gonna Give You up

Check in these Screencaps how this can be seen...

I was WONDERLAND, i mean wondering... was Ayu trying to give us a hint of her next release?
...is this (LOVE)A NEW SINGLE? hehehehe...

I know there's A song (is born) called exactly like this from Paula Abdul, Rick Astley and some other artists but since it's an Ayu PV maybe this was MORE THAN just a name... maybe it's a SIGNAL (ok I have to stop using ayu's songs as vocabulary...)

What do you think?
I guess I AM... just crazy (d'oh!)

*+D.N.A.+*

ugh. STOP WITH THE DAMN AYU SONG TITLING WHILE WRITING FFS




its probably nothing.

I was wondering the same thing! I thought maybe that was gonna be the next Ayu release!

This was just a joke... I don't usually do it.. but it seems to be bothering (for you).

I am sorry to have offended anyone with this little joke.

*+D.N.A.+*

Is she referring to Mai Kuraki's NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP? Maybe it stayed up in the charts for 18 weeks? LOL

Most probably...

Hehehe... how delusional I was!!

*+D.N.A.+*

Hey but I'm not sure, I'm just guessing.....

a mi modo de ver, la manera en q tu has utilizao los titulos de las canciones de ayu en lo q has escrito fue divertido, y no deberi'as haber q disculparte... si a un miembro no le gusta, pues... q hacer? igno'ralo... yo estoy muy curioso tambie'n si hay de hecho una mensaje de ayu sobre cuando va poner en venta una cancion neuva...
lo siento q mi espan~ol es una mierda :( he olvidao muxi'simo

^ no puedo comprender; en ingles, por favor!
(i understood only parts of it)

please restate your question in a form that doesn't cause my brain to leak out of my ears.

kthx.

It's probably nothing.

Gracias! Siempre habrá gente a quien no le agraden los demás... pero son gente.

And ok.. the question is, after having seen the screencaps from Startin' PV, you can see in the wall the label that says "18 Weeks Never Gonna Let You Down" and I had the thought that maybe this was some kind of signal from Ayu telling us of her next release...

The question was about what you thought on this...

Many have already stated that it's probably nothing or the most reasonable about Mai Kuraki's single which could have probably on the charts for 18 weeks... who knows in the end?

Anyway, anyone can give your opinion

*+D.N.A.+*

Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" was on the UK Top 100 Chart for 18 weeks (5 weeks at #1).

oh my.. why must u write it this way? its so hard to understand.. grrr

anyway, i dont think it meant anything.. its jus a poster

^ Hey, no tengas miedo en postear algo en que tengas alguna duda o quieras dar tu punto de vista, despues de todo estás posteando en el lugar correcto (Enquiries) y si hay alguien a quien no le guste...basta con evitando simplemente, además es una teoría interesante :yes, nunca me habría fijado en ese detalle...como los detalles que he visto en el video de Hikki ("Keep Tryin'"), hace muchísimas referencias a sus videos anteriores!!! Creo que haré un thread con respecto a eso...XD

Btw yo soy de Chile, tú de donde eres? :B

Now that's a coincidence!!! :P
But oh well, i don't like that title very much for an ayu song... :/

LMAO, i wouldnt have taken ayu 4 a rick astley fan!!!

lol i like your Ayu song titles in ure sentences eventhough it doesnt flow or make sense XD

huhuhu...

At least someone saw a good (confusing) side to this...

De México!
Arriba los latinos!!

Looks like she was put up against Ayu. =D Bad choise.

ouch! that was really painful to read! :headache

but uhm, i don't think it means anything honestly.

It was painful but quite punful as well. Hhahahaha.

Perhaps it was referring to Rick Astley, like nmskalmn said.

I don't really think it was a Rick Astley reference. I searched for the phrases online because I thought it might be related to a business slogan, or something like that. When I saw the Rick Astley stats I thought it was a funny coincidence.

your pun is painfully painful as well. :P

Never noticed that. lol Only until you mentioned it. :P

huhuhuhu..

I guess this won't be anything but a simple name attached to the wall, but I don't discard the whole possibility of it...

After all, 18 weeks after the release of the video would be a nice date to release something new... but it's true, it wouldn't be such a good name to an Ayu song... she's never had that kind od long names to a song...

*+D.N.A.+*

wow for a second there i was thinking
1. this guy doenst know english
2. this guy doesnt know how to write

but after reading your other posts i guess you know english, however
its alrite to do it if it makes sense, but alot of it doesnt make sense at all

Puns are fun.

Oh..okay, no Rick Astley reference after all? ^^; Well, I guess maybe it was just random wall stuff...we'll see what happens. ;)

who the heck is rick astley anyhow?

18 weeks is 4 and 1/2 months...maybe something happens in 4 and 1/2 months...?

like she's retiring.

or she's giving birth.

or she's getting married.

or she's revealing that she's really an extraterrestrial.

:shrug

LOL, that's it!! Hee hee :lech

But really, I don't think it means anything.

She's never gonna give up on Tomoya Nagase. In 18 weeks, she's getting married LOL :laugh

Yes it was kinda tough to understand your meaning but I don't think it means anything either

No, this can't happen!

Nah, in 4 months, we would've seen something by now.

No! This can't happen either. She should stay single. :yes

With those big eyes? Yes, this is the best answer. XD

well then, its solved. in 18 weeks she's gonna reveal the truth! omg, what if she brings her alien ayu space army to invade our planet? :headache

Alien Ayu Space Army = Dancing Cyborgs from the year 2503 in the Real Me PV.

Maybe she means even if her songs suck lately she'll keep singing till she gets our attention back? :shrug

It's probably nothing.
