Wow, you're so fast! :D

I hope it's good. OFF seems like.. something that might be c/w'd with "ON." XDD

Hm.. official? -falls over-

Huh?!?!?!?! OFF?!

A new single so soon, that would be very nice.

that's fast ... could be true or not ... well we'll see ... thx for the news anyway

OFF??? huh???

OMG! I hope it's true!!
New Single! New Single!!!! It's really fast if she's release another single in September. but I guess she wants to apologize for the fact that be between the releasing of BLUE BIRD and glitter/fated 1 year is...

Not that much competition.. according to fan-net anyway.


OFF is not the title, it seems.. it looks more like it was supposed to be "OFFICIAL" or something.

LOL!

I was hoping it was not the title...
It would make sense if it means official

I guess "OFF" stands for Official. (Edit: oops missed that truehappiness posted this already, sorry)

I'm glad that Ayumi is back to realese singles quickly. It was a long wait between BLUE BIRD and glitter/fated. This probably means we can even expect an album by the end of year?

Yes!! New music!! XD
Thanks for posting ^^

Yeah, probably...

I hope a new album :yes!

do you think she'll be releasing just as fast as Koda?

Yeah, I'm guessing that there will either be a slight delay post-September for the album..

Or there'll be a risky November single AGAIN, and a December single.

Damn you ZeoH, thanks for telling me it was called "OFF" >__>

awesome! i'll be in japan on the 21st! so i can buy her new single there ^_^

Yeah, I'm guessing that there will either be a slight delay post-September for the album..

Or there'll be a risky November single AGAIN, and a December album? D:

I hate you!

I wish I could be there...

thnak u for the news

YAY for the new single.
Definitely the PAnasonic CM.
Can't wait for her new one, glitter/fated was such a success

wah im really looking forward to it!anyway "off" do make a good title in certain ways~but of course it stands for "official"...haha

Thanks for the news ! hopefully it's true ^^

I got it! Maybe the new song will be the new song for the Panasonic CM they announced!

omsc. Too fast. D:< TOO FAST.

'kay so. Now I have to go tell people about this. Because they can't be bothered to come here.

wooow it is very fast..
i hope it is ballad or rock song..
still rumors or offical??

I want it to be a dark rock song.

Loves it. :P

Only a little over a month away! I'm so happy to hear it might be so soon after "glitter/fated". I miss the days of quick releases. Hopefully the next release will only be a month after this. And so on and so on until she collapses. :innocent

Ooo woah~ cool~ thanks!~ :D

Or maybe she's powered by Energizer? :innocent

why do some ppl think the title is "OFF"? :?
anyway, so the next Panasonic CM is surely gonna use this new song! hopefully it's better than "glitter/fated"! (not that i don't like them)

Same day as onitsuka and BoA? Looking forward to that week :D

(I thought OFF meant fake for some reason O________o)

Yeah, but Rody seems to have meant for it to say "OFFICIAL", but he believed that it would push the "NEW SINGLE RELEASE" title off the page, you know? so he put [OFF] as a short way of saying OFFICIAL. XD

Umm because the title of this thread says "OFF", and that's why we think the title is OFF :P

Keep dreaming that her new stuff is going to be better than glitter/fated, and it won't be :P Don't lead high expectations because judging from her last few releases, you've all been very dissappointed.

If OFF is short for OFFICIAL, it should be "OFF."

o__o

I think he was trying to post it as fast as possible XD

Rody tends to get new info first, and gets it posted almost JUST AS SOON as it was posted in Japan.. so yeah. :D

Now it makes sense that the new Panasonic CM could feature a new song - and for that, I'm setting my hopes high already :P

wow!!! album will release soon too XDDD

Oof, that was quick :)

Nice, a September release. I'm actually hoping for a really nice ballad.
Please, Ayu?

one word : WOOTNESS!

hope it's true, then again I'll wait for the news on ayu's website

So the new CM will have a new song ^^

Do you mean the idea of the Panasonic CM? or that I am smart?

LOL!
I hope she isn't gonna release as fast as Koda Kumi.... That would be like, non-Ayu and too fast!

Yeah, I checked the official site but there is no news yet...:(

towerrecords lists it; so it's a 100%.. they've never been wrong

According to TowerRecords description it's a "rock tune", great =D

That's awesome!
I can't wait to tell my friend,he'll be really happy (and I'm too :))
And Chihiro Onitsuka's releasing new single?
Awesome :D

^And: They wrote "rocktune" on Towerrecords. Yay! :heart [edit] LNany beat me to it. xD [/edit]
The full description would be something like "a rocktune filled with strength and charm". (I'm bad at translating...)

Omg so cool X_X, thank you!!

Wow.. thats really fast.. if it is true.

Yey! Thanks for great info, can't wait for that! Ayu will rock again xD

A rock tune?

No ballad?! ;___;

Nuuuuuuu.

Wait, rock!

Woo!

I hope it's not one of those 'loser rock-ballads'

It. Every second of it. :P

KOUKI TANGE KOUKI TANGE KOUKI TANGE KOUKI TANGE KOUKI TANGE KOUKI TANGE KOUKI TANGE KOUKI TANGE KOUKI TANGE KOUKI TANGE


He seems to totally favor her rock stuff... PLEASE COME BAAACK.

i love rock song from ayu..
but i hope small RnB is good too

woot,rock tune...my predction's wrong then.
Doesn't she always release ballads single on September? (Dearest,Voyage,CAROLS,HEAVEN except SURREAL)
I wonder why she release rock single this year...

this single better not be crap

unfortunately...that's kinda hard to beat...

it's really going to be official..
nice!

She might release a winter ballad on December/January, it will be the middle of the winter so it will just fit.

OFF! is probably about Ayu and Tomoya's relationship is "off" :yes

i can't wait, Ayu is only releasing 2 singles a year now :(

on same day as BoA? never

HEAVEN was awesome. I know that was 2 years ago, but at the same time it was only 3 releases ago :P

[OFF] = [OFFICIAL] :D

It's official...
I hope ayu will be #1 and BoA will be #2 though her positions are lower lately >.<
I love both artists! This day is a holy day!

I think that it might sell more than glitter/fated, except for B&D/Pride single (B&D was on a panasonic CM) Panasinoc CMs bring good sales, usually.

(STEP you, Beautiful Fighters for example were on Panasonic CMs and the singles sold really good)

just being away for a week and got shocked by this latest info... OMG OMG OMG ayu's releasing something!!! (LOL yeah I'm hyper now even tho it's 4am now).

it's weird to see avex put BoA and ayu on the same date tho.. unless they think BoA is a less worthy artist at this moment... I mean, have you ever seen two top-graded avex artists killing each other?

Im glad. The more singles the better the album sales ¡¡

ayu usually has double-As now, so maybe one of the A-sides will be a ballad (IF this single will be a double-A, too)?

I'm happy for the new single, but I wish ayu would change her release-pattern. It's usually March-July-September. It'd be interesting to see the outcome, if she'd release unpredictably. Like in months she hardly releases in and styles that aren't expected for the given season (a rock song or up-beat track for winter, a ballad for summer). I mean, it maybe doesn't matter so much what she releases when, but maybe ayu became too unpredictable for some people.

Ummm I do think it's pretty meh but there's nothing to do it's official...
But BoA is not much of a competition anyway =\
By doing that avex want to bring good sales for both I suppose...ayu's fans will want to support ayu while BoA's will want to support BoA...

By doing that I hate them too >.<
They could at least give BoA her #1 then after a week release ayu's single for another #1! and it would be perfect.

I'm really glad a new single is on the way, can't wait for the scramble/anticipation for the cover art and PV's. :D

Aww, it's sad to see BoA and ayu in direct competition. I hope this doesn't mean they don't have faith in BoA anymore... but I wouldn't blame them after her steady decline in popularity/sales. :(

^ Not really. Sweet Impact only reached #5

I dun really think BoA will get no. 1.. at least avex won't let her to do so.. :P.
They will definitely set ayu as the top priority in this case.

Unless kuu is releasing new single on 9.19 as well, then I dunno whom avex would support :no

Edit: ok kuu's single will be released a week earlier.. so no harm :P

BoA's first and only no.1 was DO THE MOTION, I believe. :\


Koda's [why am I typing that?] single comes out the week prior to Ayu's.

i wonder why you typed Koda as well... LOL.

back to ayu.. I really hope she's inventing something new, or at least recycling something good (e.g., I dun mind SURREAL~second season~)

Thanks for news.
I can't wait for Ayu's New Single! (>.<)

Um...Release date of "glitter - New Single" is similar to "fairyland - HEAVEN"
If this news true...
I think Ayu must to release the winter single in November like "Bold&Delicious" (^u^)

I think avex will do a last minute change of dates for either BoA or Ayu just like they did last minute date changes to Ai's Planetarium and Renai Shashin.

WOWWWWWWWWWWW

OMG...I want that too :yes

They'll probably just move BoA's single.

It's not like they haven't done it before.

I think they're better off moving Ayu to 9/26 so that it'll be against YUI. BoA won't have a chance against her.

Well, either way, there won't be much competition for Ayu.

Not many artists get 100k first weeks. That includes BoA and YUI..

^Specially not 110,000 xD.
I think the next single's first week's sales might be even higher.
Depends how the single will be and what are the tie-ins.

Maybe they'll be a single in November and we won't get the album till February? I'd like that scenario the most :innocent

hmmm I also think they will change ayus date cause of kuu...they maybe ait for sales predictions...if many people tend to buy BoAs single too then they will move it for sure

I don't want that kind of situation.. x.x

She'll probably pull for a December album, to get the most out of yearly sales.

She's NEVER done an album outside the November/December range.. save for best albums..

...:no

I don't think Kuu's second week or BoA's first week are a threat to this single.I also doubt avex will move the release dates around for BoA's sake, since no week will get her #1 anyway.

great news ! I'm exciting :)

Ayu won back my interest with Secret. I hope the song will be like GAME :D (her best rock song ever IMO)

Utada's new single is at the end of August, so is that really in September?

Well, "Duty" was released in September, wasn't it?
I'd also like a February release-date, but ayu will probably keep her usual release-pattern.

Yeah, it was. I knew I forgot some album. XD

I was like: Hm, she did a triple release at some point and broke records for it... eh. XD

OMG OMG OMG!!!
is the day that i'm leaving Japan for good!
thats so amazing, i'm gonna have a goodbye gift!!

i dont want an album after this single..i'd hope for at least one more single..or even two. but im excited for this!! xD

Excellent news! Thanks.

I think there will be one more single after that or two, and a new album around April because of the 10th anniversary, something like 9th studio album + 10th anniversary tour.
Though there might be a chance it won't be like this.

AWESOME! september isn't even far away. thanks for the news!

*SQUEAL OF DELIGHT* rock song! yes! i can't wait! ^^

Yay! New single :D

But NO!!! AAA is releasing that day too!!! that'll be twice that ayu pushed them out of the top spot! She released glitter/fated on the same day they released Natsumono

If this is true, then her new single will be the perfect birthday present for me. :shimmy

So?

Namie Amuro and Koda Kumi also released on the same day, July 27th (Amuro released her album PLAY and Koda her single FREAKY)
