Neat idea but a double-side album would only appeal to me if she had an actual concept going on with it instead of just putting ballads on one side and faster songs on the other (which I have a feeling she would do) and please god no Sasha Fierce/Hannah Montana alter ego crap either. lol I wouldn't mind if she did an A BEST 2-White- and -Black- type thing again. Light and fun pop/midtempo songs on one disc and dark, emotional rock songs and ballads on the other.

This whole single is a bit underwhelming, considering I loooooved crossroad so much. I feel like the 49th single and 50th should have been switched!

Can't judge on the PV's yet but agree completely about the songs.

Ayu observing explosions = adorable.

where i can get making of?

lol I just found "crossroad" hidden on some weird J-pop compilation album on US iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sig...on/id394887155

It looks pretty shady, though. It features a bunch of different artists from different labels, and is copyright "Jennifer Connell?" uh.... The other album contains the instrumental version of "crossroad", as well as a b-side from Kuu's new single, Utada's "Eternally" (can't tell if it's the super-old or just the year-old one) and a song simply titled "Final Fantasy VII - No Name." iTunes bootlegs?

"ever free" had its share of remixes, too.

Granted, "ever free" remixes weren't foregrounded like the "SEVEN DAYS WAR" remixes are, and her release schedule is different now, but I'm still reluctant to say remixes = guaranteed album placement.

It's weird to show up in 3 compilations, but I'm still going to show my support!

I think it's awesome you're gonna pick em up to show support, I usually would do the same even having bought the singles from CDJ, but looking at these in iTunes, they look a little sketchy don't you think? And how was SEVEN DAYS WAR on this weird compilation album July 2nd? Beofre the song's official release? (Am I wrong?) It just seems odd.

I wish the new material would just show up under Ayumi's own little section in the U.S. iTunes store (and I plan on "re"-buying them then to show iTunes they should get more Ayu in the store) but they add her stuff so slowly. They don't even have MOON/blossom yet.

I didn't even notice the release dates I was so hung up on the weirdness of the compilation's content. Where do you report this kind of stuff to iTunes or Avex? There's no way this can be legit.

Not sure through the store direct, but I know you/we could email iTunes support directly at iTunesStoreSupport@apple.com - they usually respond within a couple days.

Awesome. I sent an e-mail to support (and a request for the legit single for good measure. ).

Nice. I will do the same, but tomorrow, so they see it from two different people, from different places at different times.

That'd be great!

I just noticed that these weird compilations are on Amazon MP3 too. AND there's a fourth album that has the "blossom" remix and instrumental of "SEVEN DAYS WAR." :/

Edit: the fourth one is on iTunes too. :/ I wish I saw it before I sent in my report.

[freedreamer]

I love SEVEN DAYS WAR much much more with the Orchestra version. crossroad's Orchestra is quite awkward to me..the music IS beautiful but maybe its because I love love LOVE the original so much. suddenly this beat is missing

[yamadashun]

crossroad orchestra sounds weird. SDW orchestra is better :-)

but MOON and blossom orchestra are still the best!! especially MOON orchestra!!

Something about those that bought all three singles can download wallpapers and screensavers of previously unpublished photos or something I think.
