New Zespri Kiwi CM song - "blossom"

[Mirrorcle Monster]

a 4A would be perfect

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I don't want it to be released in August...a summer single should be released in June or July ... even if it's late July :/

Anyway, has she EVER waited four months after releasing an album to release a single? I don't think so?

[waterballoon]

^ Days was released 8 months after Mirrorcle World.

oh wait u were asking about singles after albums... my bad >_>" hmm MY STORY was released in December, and STEP you was released in April, so that's about 4~5 months

[*°wann_ayubabies°*]

woah ayu is really fast with new songs O.O

she just released the album in april...

anyway i'm happy ^-^ i like the title and it sounds rockpopish to me

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I just want a summer single that will blow everyone away like with H! I want it released early-on in the summer! Not August...then summer is almost over...

This isn't nearly as fast as (miss)understood -> Startin'/Born to be... was

[truehappiness]

She'd already finished Startin' and Born To Be... along with (miss)understood. Though I wonder if the case is the same with these two songs? They both seem to have been finished some time ago.

[waterballoon]

Since we got some chaku-uta of MOON with the Rock'n'Roll Circus album, I would say at least the basic recording of MOON was done. What's left probably is editing and/or mastering etc.

[njanjayrp]

^ most likely yeah. Considering that she was busy with touring after all, it's safe to say both the songs were done before the album came out or around that time~

Yeah, I'm quite certain they were done during the recording of the album, especially for them to be in CMs already, and sounding pretty complete. She's working well with everything I think; for all we know these songs could've potentially been on Rock'n'Roll Circus and she had to pick, and maybe decided these would be best a single or something for a future album.

With the speed and efficiency she's working I really wouldn't be surprised if she really is away some place to film a summery PV for MOON or blossom.

I think this single will be out about mid to late July.

I do hope I'm wrong about the previews, not like i can hear much, but i don't like the sound of the previews. I remember really disliking the preview for green in the camera commercial but then the full song leaked and it's now one of my faves. lol

but i prefer a 3a-side single, you know i can imagine this:

1.-Summer & Pop Song (blossom)
2.-Ballad Song (MOON)
3.-Rock Song (XXXX?)
4.-Sexy little things (Acoustic Ver.)
5.-Microphone (Acoustic Ver.)
6.-blossom -Instrumental-
7.-MOON -Instrumental-
8.-XXXX? -Instrumental

[love in music]

^ lol @ a Sexy little things acoustic version.. that'd be so weird. An acoustic orchestra version of Microphone OR You were... would be amazing to me. I have a feeling if she were to have an acoustic orchestra version on the single she'd pick meaning of Love though since it's so popular.

[Picaflor 7/4]

ugh please. no rock songs, no ballads, and no "typical" summer ayu songs. really getting tired of them. she's been on this "rock" kick ever since guilty, and i don't want any ballads since the last few singles had them, (days, sunset, you were, ballad). but apparently moon is a "medium ballad" or something like that, so that throws that out the window.

[love in music]

I don't want a rock song on there either. I wouldn't mind another ballad though. I want an emotional ballad though, not a sweet one this time. Something HANABI or HANABI ep 2-ish.

[roanmy]

I hope it's upbeat and ROCK!!!!!! =D

Wishful thinking on my part .

So what exactly are you looking for? Dance-like tracks?

I find the recent selections of songs quite interesting because they vary, and with different songs to fit different sort of situations and times. Summer feels like its for fun songs, friends, the beach and maybe a summer romance; Winter is cold, often depicted as sad, a time for remembrance of the past year, of love and life. The rock songs add awesome kicks and fits in all seasons, which is great.

I'd be happy if she stuck with rock, I'd also be happy if she stuck with fun summery songs, or with sad or nostalgic ballads. Not much of a fan of the dance tracks, or extremely pop-like songs, though I'll admit there are a decent amount of hers that I enjoy but it really just because the types of releases follow a format, doesn't mean the release itself will be boring because its supposedly like all the others.

I don't want a rock song on there either. I wouldn't mind another ballad though. I want an emotional ballad though, not a sweet one this time. Something HANABI or HANABI ep 2-ish.

I'd definitely agree with that; something like HANABI would be perfect!

you're basically right there showing how generic she's becoming. There's nothing original about having tons of summer, happy, dance with friends, good time at the beach songs/pvs, and tons of sad, emotional, alone, cold, dark winter songs/pvs. If she did do something dancey, that would be a change of pace for her, not having summer/winter songs that "sound somewhat different from each other."

if it is a ballad i want it to be like hanabi 2. something (like the video) showing raw emotion and just crying and having her be an emotion wreck in the video while singing the song. none of this "ah, this is a very sweet ballad, lalala, wee watch me smile!" I want "oh goooood *cry cry cry sniffle scream cry cry*!!!"

[Kazeyomi]

I just don't want another Ayu-generic ballad (like Days or meaning of Love).
But MOON doesn't sound like them, luckily (I guess it's just 15sec song, and I'm hoping this)
