TA Ayu's message ~Together when...~

[s1012h]

i'm hoping to god that it's a good ballad
her ballads have been so mediocre lately
and there better be a bridge with some words haha
she hasn't had those in a while... except for decision

[truehappiness]

I think it happened after the HeyHeyHey! recording that teth went to, which means that the lyrics were the same beforehand... [He heard the same lyrics so.. yeah..]

[HiruNoKaze]

Hey guys, I noticed the message wasn't fully translated so I gave it a shot. As with any translation, please remember to always be a little skeptic

Digital Single
No.200 November 11, 2007 (Wednesday) 4:02am

This is how the new song will be released.
Even though it's a digital single, there will still be a cover shot and a PV.

It's an interesting experiment. I'll end with the lyrics to the climax of "Together when..."

I wanted to say thank you
I couldn't say thank you
But if it's like that, this seems as if it's goodbye forever

Because it's too sad
Someday, again, I'll be reborn as myself
And I'll embark on a journey to find you
--------------

She sure stays up late...whatever happened to beauty sleep...she obviously doesn't need it haha.

kind of like "poker face"?

I remember reading that she only gets like 4 hours of sleep and that's all she needs O.o

[alt.total-loser]

4 hours is plenty of sleep. Seriously. That's how I much I tend to get.

[Zeke.]

Wow. I need 10 to feel 100%.

[truehappiness]

I think 4 hours is good if you have a way to get up [alarms and so on..]

After a few hours though, you go into that deep sleep that is hard to get out of..

[evolution7931]

I consider myself lucky to get like 6 hours or more.. normally I get 4 or 5
And I agree with TH.. stop whining about it being a digital single.. you still get a PV and a cover, you still get a new song.. it's everything a physical single has minus the pretty packaging... you're basically getting everything you'd normally get... do you need the pretty packaging THAT bad? god.. you'll get it with the album

[alt.total-loser]

Look! No extra monies!

[evolution7931]

^umm huh?

[truehappiness]

I just wonder how the chart trajectory on iTunes' top 10 will be like..

Hopefully she stays in the top 20 [there are some releases that have huuuuge longetivity on iTunes..]


[Basically, no extra money = no extra money to pay for a physical case, booklet, DVD for the studio and the consumer. Overall, a digital release is very very cost effective :x]

[Ayumiko]

Even though I've been wanting a physical winter ballad single from ayu really badly...but this digital single is not bad...we still get to see the cover and pv. The only down side is I don't get to hold it in my hands...lol Its good ayu is experimenting or else ppl will say her releases are predictable and blah blah blah..

BTW...is ayu promoting this song as a single or as the lead song of the new album?..or both? I would like to see her perform more than 1 song...unlike JEWELS last year.

[truehappiness]

It'll probably be the flagship song of the album.

Although, that other song that is getting a PV COULD get the treatment too.. but the fact is that she'll probably milk Together When... for all its worth and perform it at every show until the end of the year.

This song seems like it'll simply be a sort of "recut" single that comes out before the album. Everyone knows that it'll be on there so... that'll probably affect sales a whole lot. But if people like it, you never know!

[Zeke.]

Everyone watch. The digital "cover" for the single will be drop dead gorgeous and we won't even be able to have a physical copy such as a poster or what not.

That was what I wanted to say, too, basically. xD I don't mind complaining - but what for? ayu could release ALL her music digitally if she wanted to... And who knows, maybe they will release a poster, too?
I myself prefer the idea of a digital release, so people won't feel ripped off, because it's so close to the album.

[TITANIC]

i like her lyric..
really ^^

[takamioda]

thanks, u're so great. i like the lyrics, so sad huhu ((

[Cyria]

Very glad to hear that it will have a cover and PV.
