I know it was rumored that fated will be the theme of this movie before and now we can kinda confirm it will be since hmv have this info.

Thanks for this news! I am the first to reply!

This gives me high hopes for "fated" as if it is the theme to such a movie, it must be a haunting song!

so it's confirmed now?

i hope its a great, scary kiss o' kill/ourselves-esque song.

I think secret on the single might be the original version. If you look at the tracklist, there is no 'remix' behind secret and koda's single have the word remix at the back of the remix songs...o_O I hope I'm wrong...

Yeah, but Koda's also the one who gets her tracklists and previews and covers out two months before anyone else >>

Omg! If fated is the theme song to a freaky ghost movie then it must be awesome..

This is a lesson to learn:

Don't trust anything until it's confirmed. lol

for a movie, huh? sounds interesting!

Awesome. I'm expecting this single to get a fair amount of attention now

ouuu. sounds neat! thanks for the info!

i'm curious to hear "fated" now. i hope it has an "alterna" or "ourselves" vibe to it.

There's no preview of fated or anything, but the movie looks kind of weird from the trailer. LOL

It looks like there's a small sex scene in it >>

i spot Inoue Mao. XD it's so hard imagining her someone other than Tsukushi from Hana Yori Dango.

i hope it's not for THAT movie....it doesn't look like it's gonna be popular at all :thud

It is that movie.

Kaidan translates to "ghost story" and is the same one that was rumored that she was going to be affiliated with. >>

i guess now it's worth seeing :laugh

anyway, thanks for the news. Definitly more excited about Ayu's new release now. Will keep up with the news for now on...I think.

Arigatou for the info!! ^^ - I can't wait to hear Fated now - I hope it's like GAME - than the song will ROCK!! ^^

Doesn't it means that we will have the preview of fated at 25th May?

YAY hope it can make the single have a HUGE sales

Well, when CMs for the movie with the themesong come out, yes.

So maybe even before the 25th.


[Movie comes out 8/4/07]

sweeeeet! I'm looking forward to having a 'painful summer'...lol can't wait for the preview!

this is interesting, they better start airing CMs with the song

if it's like that,i think the song will be awesome :)

I hope this will help the sales.

me too...haha ghost story for summer..lol...it doesnt look interesting lol

That would be bayond lame and probably make me cancel my single. >_<

sweet, lets hit the sale again :D

So glitter/fated is officially a double a-side single ^_^.
I hope that the songs will be really good.
The sales don't have to be high because of the tie-ins because of the most of the people won't like the songs in high rate so they'll just get tired of those songs hearing them again and again so I hope they'll be really good ^_^.

Lol, that preview looks so lame xD

Thanks for the info, I hope it's a good song :)

i saw the trailer, i hate the actor's weird hairstyle....

omg.. why does ayu songs have to always pair up with lame movies.. =.=!!

Cool news! Hopefully a CM with fated will be released soon...

hmmmmmmmmmm i'm excited... but this something that's "new"... the song might sound creepy for a creepy movie... lol... or haunting... *shivers* man, i'm getting so impatient.

Hopefully a CM with fated will be released soon... (2)

Really I'm very anxious to listen this song! OMG.

http://hochi.yomiuri.co.jp/entertain...OHT1T00035.htm

Judging from this article, it looks like this movie will be distributed to 50 countries [and still retain Ayu's theme song?]~

translation?

btw, any idea if it'll ship to the us?

Excitelol.

I hope someone with better Japanese can translate x.x

thanks for the news!

two a-sides! awesome! i can't wait to hear more about this single =)

Thanks for the article :) Its good to know there's a article about it....now we just have to wait till the official website to update the tie-in. :D so its gonna be a love themed med tempo rock ballad? can't wait for previews!

i hope it's a alterna-like song
the perfect song to refuel my love for ayu, since i became so bored of her right after A BEST 2 came out

I'm pretty sure that this new is true~and nope...i dun think this movie is lame~cuz some of the actors in that movie are really popular~so i guess it will attract a lot of people to watch it~and at the same time,to boost ayu's new single sale

So the article also says the movie is gonna show in 50 coutries... That's nice! Maybe they'll include the song as well.

wahaha!! thansk for the news.. a ghost-themed song.. haha

Correct me if I'm wrong, so "fated" is a ballad ?
Well.. It's a love song, if I'm not mistaken.. ^^;;

Singer, Hamasaki Ayumi (28)，will be singing the theme song for the horror movie,《怪谈》[ghost story] which will be in cinemas on 4th Aug. This movie stars 尾上菊之助 (29)、黒木瞳 (46), the production of 中田秀夫, who entered the Hollywood in 2005 with 《午夜凶铃2》[the ring 2]. In 2000, Ayu has sung the theme song,《Who...》 for the movie 《月》, who also starred 黒木瞳. Now 7 years later, they will work together once again.

J-pop queen Ayu has brought colours to this movie, which will be shown in 50 countries.

The song chosen,《fated》will be stored in Ayu's new single《glitter/fated》(releasing on 18th July). Not only will《fated》be the Japanese theme, it is also the theme song for the 50 countries, which the movie will be available. 《fated》, just like 《HEAVEN》 in the 2005 movie《-SHINOBI-》, is only written after Ayu has watched the entire movie.

The song is a rock ballad. About this song, Ayu has admitted that, “The feeling she has received from the movie is Love. 2 person, who, despite all the changes made since their last reunion, are still not able to be together... Thus this song was written to convey this fated love."

《fated》is Ayu's 41st single. Currently her single sales is 22.76 million pieces, and this makes her the highest record holder as a solo artiste. Together with her 2 new best albums, her total sales have broken the 50million mark, which is a record that no one has reached before. Well it is expected to see this single maintaining record of claiming the no.1 spot for new releases in ORICON charts.

thanks for the translations! :) so the song was written for the movie just like HEAVEN was...very interesting. Also ayu broke the record of 50 million in total sales! thats awesome!

btw....it is finally official now...ayu's official website updated the tie-in in the tracklist!

Thx for the translation

The song is a rock ballad. About this song, Ayu has admitted that, “The feeling she has received from the movie is Love. 2 person, who, despite all the changes made since their last reunion, are still not able to be together... Thus this song was written to convey the meaning of this un-fated love.”

This sounds like it's going to be momentum/part of Me part II

Thanks for the trans.. ^^
Wow, I'm happy for Ayu. It means Ayu will be more famous in the world, because this movie will brings Ayu's "fated" everywhere.. ^_^
*yay*

awesome!...50 countries..omg...im sure SG is one of them....wow!!!

lol un-fated love is fated...cool

It should be


" Thus this song was written to convey this fated love. "

omg I hope it hits Australia so I can prove to my friends of Ayu's goodness! xD

Thanks for the translation kiseki89!

Oooo thanks for pointing that out

think it will be in America? [god i hope so ... but i doubt it :(]

uh oh
interesting oh
yes

LOL how unexpectable :rolleyes

Another fated love song (such a rare subject to Ayu!...) and another SHINOBI. Why doesn't she do a song for a japanese gay comedy?...

what you described sounds hardly like momentum or part of Me. :thud

why would she do that? are you gay? hahahaha??

Why wouldn't she do that?
I think Dustie just wondered what ayu would come up with then? Seeing as "HEAVEN" and "fated" are inspired by their tie-up movies...

Well, it would be cool if "fated" had a feeling of mystery. Kinda like "Dolls" (from the feeling, not the type of song).

[QUOTE=(miss)understood;1097806]what you described sounds hardly like momentum or part of Me. :thud

Only If you understand the meaning behind the songs, and the pv's.

IT could be the ending song. And the end of a g=horror movie should be scary and sad, s described, sad rock ballads. I'm really looking up for the new single. Ilike the preview of glitter so much.

thanks for the news!

thanks for the info

Thanks for the info.
Highly anticipate Fated.

Thanx for the info! I want to hear this song! Hope it would have the same atmosphere as "ourselves" or Tsukiko Amano's "KOE".

I want to hear the song already..

I want to hear it already too... Sounds so interesting and like a good hit song.

It sounds interesting, I wonder what type of song it will be. Hopefully it will be very good!

Aww~ Can't hardly wait to see the PV and hear the song.. ^^ Why this single takes a long time to been released..? *hiks

I thought she could use some variety.



BTW, I love how whenever anyone types the word 'gay' in the post, someone always comes up asking 'are you gay?'

preview in the trailer!!!! select 予告編

credits: taylayu@Ayunite

edit: she sounds like she is singing it without much emotion but she sounds mature and kinda different...but the song is nice...kinda different from her usual ballad i feel...i can get the summer feel in there coz of the slight rise in the last note....and the end melody feels moving like walking proud for me...

i can see that Ayu is gonna perform this with emotion...i like the song! i like the way it ends off with that kinda hopeful tune

Thanks for the link! Now if the thing will only load

EDIT: song is different but nice

i uploaded the preview here

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...35#post1099835

i like the latest preview of the movie!And "fated" matches prefectly to that movie too~

I hope the movie flops so we get more English subtitles. Yet I hope it doesn't since Ayu is singing the song and Inoue Mao (from HYD) is in it. :)

EDIT: It seems like an "It was" part two. I like "It was". :)
