I don't know if these are counted as 2 singles, or as 1 single. 'Cos the titles ARE different, which is for the first time ever. Let's hope it's simply one single (which is most likely), for the sake of Ayu's #1-streak.

Oh Ayu...what's Greenday gonna say? :o

source: Ayu's official site

thanks for the info...2 more months..arghhh...

OMG YAY!!!!!

There are 4 versions then? X_X

Days/GREEN and GREEN/Days? (2 for which?)

If so, it seems that avex want both A-sides to equally succeed most likely.

WOW this is a great news! so this is a double A single?

wow! new info at least!!
so 4 vesions?

maybe she'll include new "10th anniversary" versions??

Days/GREEN? Reminds me of the manga Midori no Hibi, which is a homophone for Green Days in japanese. XD

AND OMG, it's released on my birthday! Which is also the relaese of Memorial address! Weird.

SO LONG...
and YES! double a-side THANKGOODNESS...

edit: OMG!!! TO BE -10TH ANNIVERSARY- !!! YES YES YES!
i like this idea!..

It will be a great gift for my bday (which is 6 days before) :D
I can't wait to get the whole single!

godddddddddddd -.-
2 more months to go, arg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh 4 versions again. i am getting so tired of these multiple versions

but of course a new single is very welcomed, and it is long overdue

so i assume to get both videos, you'll have to buy both versions? lol (i assume there are 2 videos...but one never knows lol.)

anyway, this is greeeeeat news!!! :D:D thanks!

oh if the ayuchina things are right, then the 10th anni versions are great song choices! :D:D to be is gunna get some love! haha!! and i pray...pray...praaaaay that days is uplifting...doesnt need to be danceable or anything...but just something...happy :D

*edit: ewwwww i'll be home for christmas starting from december 12th >:[ that means i cant buy it in japan >:[ i'll be back january 13th :-\

OMG!!
LOVE ~Destiny~!! : O But why TO BE? X_X That song is pretty near perfect as is..

Eeeh Days and GREEN sounds so pretty! I'm starting to think that the next album will have a whole nature/seasonal theme! Awesome ^^ I love those albums and songs

But yea, it's going to be one single. Like Mirrorcle World. I think they don't want Ayu to lose her #1 streak and they're doubting her sale skills so they're pulling tricks. =p



I wonder what kind of song Days is O_O

But why only a release date of december? =/ ffs that's still 2 months away..

omg it's being released on my birthday. I am so ordering all 4 versions LOL!

Yay!!!!!

MORE 10TH ANNIVERSARY VERSIONS!!!

TO BE AND LOVE ~DESTINY~...YAAAAY!!

.....hope it's true......

^yay!!! a new single, and clever marketing too to maintain her #1 streak :D

omg! LOVE~Destiny~ i love that song!!!

TO BE 10th anniversary?!
wow... that's like a DREAM :luv2

can't wait 'till december !!

I agree since probably Life and Mirrocle World will probably be on the album, it does definitly sound like there's a theme.

I'm pretty happy on the 10th annivarsary choices so far. I just wished they did POKER FACE....but it probably won't happen.

Does anyone think she'll have an album by the 1st? of January?

Does it maybe say the composers / arrangers somewhere? ^^

At least you can still see the pre-release promotion ^^ Posters etc

For me three days after : /

If it's not too expensive maybe I can get it on express shipping and never listen to Days..yea that'd be cool ^^ and then listen to it for the first time at meh birthday XD

it's now at the official site, aswell. tracklist is confirmed

Awesome thx : D

But how long do we have to wait for the PV releases? I was really excited for GREEN!

LOL, and it's my birthday too! XD I feel so special. lol. I wish I can order them T__T

so now is confirmed??
GREAT! the songs she choosed to do a 10th anniversary version are great!

for CD+DVD
◎初回限定特殊パッケージ：ピクチャー・レーベル仕様
first press with some "picture label"

Yeah for sure this is official..
Love Destiny and To Be versions~
Awww~ I can't wait for them.
But so random selections!! ahaha
I thought she would do something bigger, like poker face or so.

I am a bit nervous to hear Love Destiny and To Be..
With her current single style, I wonder what kind of songs they will become.

And I guess Days is the one where they dance and stuff?~~
Ahahaa.

OMG! TO BE AND LOVE ~Destiny~!!! THEY ARE BOTH SO AWESOME!!! x_x I guess I'll buy both then. :P But a dark/rock song for winter/Christmas...?

I'm guessing different CD art.

Ok pao it's time to spend money on all 4 versions again xD

why dont you order them? ^^

This sounds good. At least we'll get new material and two new pvs.

OMG yes !!!!! I really want a new single !
Decembre is tooooo far ! Thank yoooou

yay a new TO BE version ^-^ thanks for the info

oh !!!! it's a long time to this release .... hope it'll be a good single .

AWESOME!! <3 Finally we can get the new single. It's too bad we have to wait for 2 months. :/ But I'm happy she releases something. I'm so happy my two favourite songs are getting their own 10th anniversary versions. I love TO BE and LOVE~Destiny~ into bits. <3

Yes, CDJapans says

"The disc is pictured-labeled"

Finally some confirmed info. :D So it will be counted as just one single with the four versions, right?

I'm so happy!!!
First time I want to buy all 4 versions...

Praying for a new photographer. :D So tired of whatshisface!

Probably wont be seen as two singles. Probably have those alternative covers with one with Day prominent and one with GREEN prominent. Guess that means no new album soon. XD

Yes, this will count as the same single. Arashi did the same kind of title switch with their "truth / kaze no mukou he" single.

Isn't it usually? o_O I've never seen an actually empty Ayu CD / DVD, like the empty ones you buy in the stores.

green? WTF? Song titles are getting weird

Yes but usually it's like a print and not an image. I am guessing that is what they mean :yes

Oh ok ^^ Thx

Which would you prefer?

I think I'd still prefer the print..an image looks kinda bootleg to me, 'cause my two bootleg DVDs have a print like that. XD

YAY! lol. I'm excited.

I can't believe CDJapan didn't email me yet D: (Or it didn't reach yet)

Days/GREEN (CD+DVD) http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-31580

GREEN/Days (CD-only) http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-31583

I think I'll wait for covers before I order. But atm, I'm thinking GREEN/Days (CD+DVD) version.

wow december.. i think i can wait ! oh LOVE~Destiny 10th anniversary version.. so exciting.. Wonder how the cover album will look like :)

You're welcome.

It depends on the image they use. I liked the free & easy one :)

I don't like the idea of 4 different versions, its just a dirty way to get more sales :|

Well I hope the songs will be great, Ive been waiting for a good Ayumi song for me in a long time.

thanks for the update Rody . Is ayumi pulling a BREAKERZ or something ? :dead2

anyway here's looking forward to this single !

I'm guessing they'll do something similar to what the did with Free & Easy..., the non-1st press will have a different print on the CD... i guess...

The "this disc is pictured labeled" thing is what they say about the 1st press...

OMG!!! I THINK I JUST DIED!!!!!

TO BE AND LOVE~Destiny~ 10th Anniversary?!?!?!?!?!?

OMG OMG OMG OMG

THIS WAS WORTH THE WAIT!

AT LAST! I am pre-ordering them (well I'll pick one) in the morning (or as soon as YesAsia has them). This will be counted as ONE single as AAA had ZERO/Music!!! and Music!!!/Zero and they were counted as one release, with different covers, not to mention Shimatani had 2 completely different single releases counted as one. Anyways I didn't expect a double A side, but I am really happy about this! Although I am not sure which version I'll buy in the end as I think I equally like TO BE and LOVE Destiny, so I guess the better cover will prevail!

wow I think I'll again buy all 4 singles **~

wow
Another new song XD

Yay :D

Hopefully there will be a new album at the end of the year

i think Shanghai shooting = Days XD

I wonder if they'll release a '10th anniversary album' and compile all the 10th anni. versions....

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES.....
can't wait......
Ayu ganbatte ne ^^!~

No, as that would be too much considering they released A COMPLETE.

I WOULD LOOOOOVEEE IT!!!


haha sorry, this just made my day!

I'll buy the two CD + DVD versions -- hooray I get paid tomorrow! ^__^

Ayu's used the word 'day' in a few of her songs....Greatful days, rainy day, until that Day..., Daybreak and Beautiful Day...and now a song just called "Days"--I hope it's the upbeat song she was talking about recently in her TA messages!!

omg I'm gona spend alot of my money buying them all :( why does she do this :P lol

I checked her site and I can't find it. I'm confused

Here is the real link to the news on the official site:
http://avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/news/081022b.html

thanks for the link! :)

wooaaaaaa ayu 44 single thanks

12/17 would be a very GREENy Day..:D:D

can/t wait!

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!! awesome news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'll order a CD+DVD version, but i'm not sure which one....
i like Love~destiny~ more than TO BE but i think i want the making of GREEN more....
so i think i'll choose based on the image, or based on which PV will look better (gotta wait till some shoots of Days come out...)

anyways... YAAAY & GAMBATE Ayu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want LOVE ~Destiny~ 10th Anniversary version!!! Wow, and I LOVE GREEN too! I can't wait to hear how Days would sound like... I really the names of this new single!

Aren't you happy that using this trick she can get #1 again..? I definitely am ^^ I'd rather have avex pull out all the dirty tricks in the book, than her losing her #1 streak

Ah okay o.o

Yay finally the new single! Ooh~ we'll have to wait until December, that's so long... But that's okay, I really love Christmas releases, it's fun to wait for Christmas and new album/single at the same time.

And two PVs, am I correct? It's really felt like a long wait since Mirrorcle World, I'm really looking forward to them~

ahhhhhhhhhhh need to buy both again >__< where comes the money!!!
can't wait to hear both of them~

Probably Days is going to be the sort of "the days we spent together are..." kind of ballad. Unless Ayu can get away from the cliche.

And I can't wait for the cover, how long do we have to wait anyway?

*sigh* No online shopping experience, no money, no credit card, dear daddy or mummy aren't nice enough to understand my "needs". lol. There are chances of them appearing in local stores, but most probably after...years of its release. >_>

finally :D

GREAT NEWS!

LOVE~Destiny~ I love that song :luv2

I'm going to order Jacket A & Jacket C versions!!

Yes. FINALLY!!!

But I'd prefer more "A Song for XX" single re-recordings. "For My Dear..." wasn't redone AT ALL so far...

I'm looking forward to the new songs, nevertheless. ^^ Two different titles could mean two completely different covers? That was already done before by some J-musicians.

*waves goodbye to money again*

holla! :cool (just HAD to quote this :tipsy)

anyways, simple titles, but YES, 2 new PVs. :D can't wait.

^Oh. So it was Arashi after all. ^^a Because I wasn't too sure about it. ^^;

YAY!!! I want a 'Days' preview :yes

Finally! I can't wait for Days.

yes & also BREAKERZ as well . They have released 3 double a-side singles (upcoming 3rd one Angelic Smile / WINTER PARTY) & all of them so far have 4 editions (2 CD only's & 2 CD + DVD's) & just like ARASHI , they did a switcheroo thing as well & it's not doing good for my wallet :dead2

is this for real!???? Can somebody slap my cheeks! LOL... This is a nice news... but december is a bit long.,., lOL

Wee!17 December,my friend's birthday~

Ayu,10th anniversary versions of ~LOVE~Destiny and TO BE?I'm disappointed,I was hoping for poker face 10th anniversary version.

How does she plan on putting out the usual winter album now? Is it possible she's FINALLY breaking that whack tradition?

*FREAKS OUT* I'm in class and the teacher is teaching but I'm SCREAMING WITH JOY ON THE INSIDE!!!!!!! FINALLY!!! <333 And a double A-side at that <333 and in mid-december!? <333 *dances*

:banana1

Finally a release date! *-*
Can't wait! <3

NEW SINGLE YAAAAAY!!!
Days, that title surprise me ^^


Lol, me too.
I love TO BE and Love Destiny both, when I see the covers I decide what order.

thanks alot for the news! cant wait for december to come!!

WOAHH o.o Depending on the covers and basically everything xp, i may be buying both cd+dvd.

wow!!! what's up with ultra short titles like

Life
GREEN
Days

:D anyway, i am loving it!! a difference of 8 months in between!

dayum...two versions in two months.

ayu, why?

wow.. right on my brother's b'day!!

need to be patient though..

Well..at least now we know the first a-side is some other song...I hope its an upbeat! unless she decides to rock it up again

actually its only 1 name: Days/GREEN, just that the 2nd version GREEN is the 'main' song...so does the PV has GREEN making of instead of Days

thanks for the news! can't wait to be hearing this

Awesome news! Yay for new Ayu stuff!

Awesome track list! I'm so happy it's out now. Love ~destiny~ & To Be in their new versions ^_^. Can't wait!

FINALLY!!!! Im soooo happy right now! When did we see the CM for the first time? Like in june?! And about 6 months later the single comes. Crazy long time!

Anyway, BLUE BIRD flash back anyone? :P
