It appears that Tetsuya Komuro really did work with Ayu.

His only work with Ayu before this is A song is born.

I'm gonna guess that the song that goes with this will be another Komuro track or a Kikuchi track. She could just have Kikuchi on the 50th since he's worked on two tracks it seems. WHO KNOWS?!

-rage-

If you haven't heard it yet:

What other songs has he worked on with her?

Oooh interesting. I don't find A Song is Born that memorable but it would be good if we got a TK song as good as Namie's I Have Never Seen.

mi|kshake~

I dunno.. I don't like a lot of his works but I liked what I heard from the preview so I'm still excited to hear it in full.

asib was kind of a snore fest, but considering he only ever composed one song for her, and that was back in 01, I'll give him another shot. lol

brb. Dyin'. In absolute GLEE.

EEEEEE =D

ETA: just heard the clip and, yup, it's definitely a TK composition, haha. I can imagine KEIKO or any of his other singers doing this song.

TK!!!!! *______________*
this single is going to be the best!<3

I like A Song is Born and the 40 second preview so I'm happy she picked this composer ^^

ikr!!! What happened to the Kikuchi songs? I thought for sure they'd be the 49th single. Maybe the 50th or maybe they've decided just to use them for album tracks? T.T

Quite interesting... though I'm not sure I like his compositions but I'll see if crossroad will change my mind...

new single new single...lalalaaa yees~

I like a song is born, but I don't like the crossroad preview atm lol.

I actually like the preview. For some odd reason the song reminds me of her older works. I'm quite pleased. :yes

A Wonderful composition by Tetsuya Komuro. That's what I'm talkin' bout! :)

I hope the 50th single will be CREA~~

I pretty much hate everything composed by that man and judging from the preview, this will be no different.

Still, I'm withholding my FINAL JUDGEMENT (XD) until I can hear the final finished product. I'm very curious about the second song on the single. (There better be one.)

uhm.. sounds like one of this anime soundtracks... Gundam??

-rage-?!

I'm so effing excited that this was done by Komuro!

xDDD

How do you do that :o. Did you even listen to all his works (from TM Network to AAA and such)?

Anyway, I love the preview. Can't wait to hear the final product.

I found A Song is Born to be relatively bland but i trust Ayumi, i know how picky she is and i know she wont release anything less than amazing especially for this trilogy :)

TK is veeeeeeeeerrryyy hit or miss for me - he can do absolute snoozefests, but he can do some really AMAZINGLY amazing songs too.

This right here sounds like it coulda been an old-school globe song, and I really really like it. It makes me happy. <3
