Can I marry you? I love your mind.

Well yeah, it says music box version, but in Japan music box and orgel are interchangeable, all of the orgel collections are what I would call music box music...but in any case this shall be interesting it's rather unusual to have a vocal music box song.

[Kazeyomi]

Music Box and Orgel are the same thing, just different names. In Japan.
We call it Carillon, in others countries Tomato Box? oh ehm.. never mind

In japanese music box and an orgel are the same thing? Really? o.O
And how do they call a real orgel which is standing in a church?
Or haven't they a name for it cause there aren't any churchs and real orgels ind Japan?
I'm curious.

[NintendoHTF1242]

Lol, I didn't mean that Music Boxes are the same as Tomatoes or anything xD Just the way to prounouce Tomato in two different ways means the same thing. Much like Music Box and Orgel :'3 Hope that didn't cause confusion.

They call them orugan (オルガン), from the English organ.
Whereas orgel music is orugooru (オルゴール).

Thanks a lot, dear.
I've learned something today.

[tourniquet]

according to my LDOCE orgel is not even a proper english word. what you talk about is probably an organ?

[Corvina]

Yeah, that's right. I've never used the english word organ and because people here were talking about an orgel version from You were... on the sites before I was confused.
I never knew that in japanese the same word means music box. Cause orgel is a german word and so it doesn't make that much sense for me to call a music box orgel in japanese. I wonder why the japanese use it that way?
Anyway, I'm wiser now, so thanks a bunch to all.

You're right, orgel isn't an English word, it's just being used in the context of Japanese music.

From wikipedia:
In Japan, the word "orgel" (オルゴール orugōru?) is used for a musical box. 'Orgel' is adopted from the Dutch word originally meaning 'organ'. Also widely available are CDs containing popular and classic songs in music box tone. These CDs are often categorized as relaxation music.

so the single will be like H?
interchangeable covers?
are the covers the ones we already have?

[Picaflor 7/4]

^indeed. since I'm not the avid ayu fan I should be. is it going to be lik H where it's only first press re-release stuff? or is it for all versions? regular, first press...bootleg. lol

[JackieRos]

^i think is for the first press cos
it wont be special if they all have them.

Same for me also . So it's going to be a lot worse >>;

[Rainbow141]

^ Yeah. Glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this right now. Today it got a lot worse, though. Maybe it's because of the influx of leechers; already starting?

Maybe I shouldn't hope too much for a radio rip or something... After all, the AT09 will be broadcast soon, and we'll have it soon.

@ Picaflor & Jackie: Ooh, interchangeable covers?! I really need to keep back on top of this thread. Well, I never got a chance to get H, and it seems that the other special versions are hard to find now...? Maybe I should try to get this. Argh. >_< Asking for more J-Pop stuff is out of the question now, especially after talking to my parents about the Utada concert.

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

Any word on the PVs premiering?

Just an FYI about that, all of the new information that we get is added to the first post, so you don't really need to keep track of the thread or really read much more than the first post. Though things like somewhat full lyrics might slip through due to a lack of an official source for now.

The kisekae covers have been known since the single was announced five threads ago though, oi, haha.

Thanks for letting me know~ Before this, I never really checked out the Ayu news sections. I felt too intimidated by how fast the threads fill up, and how fast posts are made.

And oi is right! >_< I need to check that first post out a bit more thoroughly. Eek. >o<

In any case, thanks! ^.^

[Picaflor 7/4]

^psh, I never keep up with threads. unless I'm looking for one specific thing in a post somewhere inthe middle of like, the 13th page, and it drives me crazy trying to find the little things.

I still don't get the interchangable covers. every cd has interchanging covers. you just slide out the booklet, take one from another cd and slide it in. BAM interchanging covers.
