[unofficial] New Single"rainy day/startin' " will release next year

[Cyria]

Thanks for the info! I wasn't expecting there to be a single so soon after the album is released (I'm guessing 'early year' means Jan-Feb-even Mar, not late April like STEP you).

[evolution105]

Wow. Thanks! Ayu sure is busy. Wonder why she likes to work?

[Shiso]

How reliable is that source?

edit
It's a shop so it IS reliable!

[Raleigh]

She's working hard that's for sure. I do hope that this single will be highly successful too. Guess the hard work of Kumi is making her work harder

[Ryoko]

Figures that the theme songs of the game would be released as a single! Even so, I wonder if they will be featured on the album. It's either Bold&Delicious or Rainy Day/Startin', and I'd be very surprised if neither were on the new album.

[Raleigh]

Maybe this is a far fetched theory but maybe Bold & Delicious and this single are the working of her next album? Yes it's rather far fetched but she might be thinking to release a new album soon. Donno. Just was thinking about it

[Ryoko]

Already? It would be amazing if Ayu was already thinking about releasing another album! But then again, it might be a mini-album (four songs already.... Memorial address had 6 singles and 1 new song, so it depends). However, we still have to wait for the tracklist for (miss) understood to determine whether or not B&D/Pride and RD/Startin' will be on the album.

I was just thinking that about an hour ago, when I was listening to Pride for the billionth time and was sad that it wouldn't be on this album, and then I thought......

just because it's going to be in a game doesn't mean it's included in the new album. the article was misleading.

Hmm this is good news, since it leaves much more space for new songs. xD;

This would make sense too, as the single release should coincide with game release. :3

[norain]

I highly doubt this will be on the album, 'cause usually like Utada for instance, releases her single and THEN the song is on her album.

So it seems like Bold & Delicious was her last single for the album. But it might be for her next album too, like someone said, to make sales high, it shouldn't be on the album. So, we could end up having just STEP you, Heaven, Alterna, Is This Love?, Will. (and I know I'm forgetting something) on the album. B&D, Pride, Startin', Rainy Day will be on her next album. I mean, if this is all on her album that's like almost 2/3s of the album on singles.

[Sweer]

I see... thx for the info.
hopefully it wont be on the album, then theres more room for other songs ^^"
though that would imply having to spend more money as well ... bah ...

[Coelacanth]

I don't see what's so bad about an album having too many singles on it..? The singles are usually meant to be the highest quality tracks (although it's not always the case). I still think that B&D/Pride will be on the album, the experimentation with music style seems to reflect on the title anyway. I think, to make up for the lack of new material on the album, she's going to start a new string of singles earlier than usual. (that is, if Startin/Rainy day aren't on (miss) understood)

[mui-gei-tal]

if this is true, i hope the songs can still be on the album~
just like what mika did with MUSIC...
she released hitori on a single, after having it on the album prior~

[lunichi]

In 2006 there are a A BEST 2??? If bold & delicious/pride rainy day/startin' isn't in (miss) understood there are a lot of song for a new recopilation album

[benslave4u]

I don't see it on the website u gave??? Isn't that the release date of the game where does it say that it's going to be a single????? HELP!!!!

[AyuGAME]

i think startin and rainy day won't be on her next album
Bnd/pride seems won't be in there too

Personally, I'm not trusting any source whatsoever until it's stated OFFICIALLY. I don't care about rumoured tracklists. I just want the real one.

[ayu_fan929]

i think all her 2005 singles will b put on her album. as for this news about "rainy day/startin' " being released as a single, i think it could b possible. mayb the single AND the album will b released on the SAME day n the single would b those "limited version" types

[kyomiayu]

Ayu is fast! hehe. Thanks for the info!
