this This THIS! I am so freaking excited I can't deal.

Dead.

I hope it's just a triple a side. I want them all at once!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Well I guess it doesn't really say it's a "3A side" single... I just kinda assume it was because it's stated to be released at the end of the year, so I just assume that it's just one release.

Also, not sure if this has been posted but the kanji 三部作 I found to be translated as "triptych"--or "a work of art (usually painting) divided into three sections"--so I guess this -could- mean divided into three separate releases, or 3 parts of a whole in terms of one single.

edit: oh and it means trilogy lol. now I see where people are getting the trilogy reference. hahaha
My translation was being thrown off by the kanji for 3. For some reason, 3部作 is being translated to trilogy, while 三部作 is being translated to triptych. Silly technology.

though I'm sticking with my first instinct in that I think it'll be one release, as only one release period was stated. 　(Unless she plans on stringing them out, say Dec Jan and Feb releases, first starting at the end of the year)

Ugh need. more. information.

I guess it'll have three songs, but probably it'll have just two PVs... Even L had two :/ I'd love it to really be triple a-sided tho, I just don't think that's likely to happen.

If she's making a trilogy of releases, then it'll be her third theology? I'm getting so curious on this single omg

[mizuki-7]

Maybe a winter single/ a spring single/a summer single ? lol
Like tokyoxjapanxfan said I think we will have 3 songs connected together lol

[Corvina]

I thought, cause they mentioned two of the composers diretly, that it`s maybe a 2 a-side. And the third as b-side then. But all we know for sure is that it`s starting in December.

[Delicious n Bold]

I'm actually excited for a ballad or even a midtempo. I've been in that kind of mood lately.

Though I thought I was past these questions, would "Close to you" be considered a winter ballad? It sounds super wintery to me. If so, I would actually love a song like that...(though considering her current style, I highly doubt she'll do anything like it...>.>)

I would definitely consider that a ballad.

I would consider "Close to you" not only a winter ballad. Because of the arrangement it's a christmas song I think.

Christmas all the way. I actually listen to this one the morning of christmas every year. lol Love the song so much.

I really want a 3 side... but wouldnt mind 3 different singles... I wish they would do something to try and boost her sales..

I'd imagine if they're going for sales, they'd definitely want to do a 3 a-side. But I'd be willing to bet they'd go for revenue instead and split the songs between 3 singles, thus splitting the sales

[Tom Punks]

^ Agreed, def. a Christmas ballad.

Ayumi please bring CREA back and write another song like M, and bring back HAL to arrange it song

I would kill for HAL but it seems she will no longer work with them and I'm not sure if the 2 members remaining (of HAL) are still active ??

Lmao.

I love Komuro's compositions... He pretty much wrote all of my recent favorites.
