A Song For The Sky -Official ayaka Thread 2 -

[TakaSama]

I bought STTS because of Zettai Kareshi haha - but it's really a great album! The live DVD was really great too, even the Jackson 5 song... . In fact, afterwards I had to go buy first message too!

Actually, the reason sales are down in part is because of the multiple versions. Many of her Japanese fans were angered by having to choose between PVs and the live dvd, and at the fact that Warner is trying to get them to buy the same album so many times - if you look at the Japanese reviews on amazon.co.jp the same complaint pops up: the music is great, why isn't it a cd and two dvd set? Even if the price for a cd and two DVDs is higher, it's not as high as buying two copies of the album. Some people are going as far as to say that the CD seems like the bonus feature!

Plus greeeen is a male band, and their sales are high purely for that reason - in Japan, male groups almost always outsell females solo artists when they are similarly popular...

Aren't you proud of her?
It's a great album so it deserves success. I'm gonna hope for 100K next week! I know she can do it!!

[TITANIC]

^ of course i'm proud of her
I think it's 90% she can sell 100K for next week... HIT a million copies,My girl..hehe

I think my best song on STTS is kimi ga iru kara.
what about yours?

[Amai Yume]

No questions asked, my fav song...
Ai mo Uso mo Shinjitsu
Kon'ya no Hoshi ni Dakarete, Gold Star and POWER OF MUSIC come next

[TITANIC]

I think power of music quite weird for me..
I still prefer start to love is the best opener...hihihi

After listening to Kimi ga iru kara, i think Te wo tsunagou not as well as Kimi ga iru kara..

[Amai Yume]

Yeah I think a lot of people were iffy on POWER OF MUSIC but I liked it lol
Kimi ga Iru Kara was nice...I dunno, I personally liked other songs more to it but it wasn't the worst on the album. Although it does have that reallly cool music that makes it stand out.
Te wo Tsunagou is good too, I can't decide between the two lol

Also, I forgot to add Mahoutsukai no Shiwaza
it reminds me of a story

[TITANIC]

eewww.. IMO all tracks in STTS are great except POWER OF MUSIC quite weird for me... hehehe

btw from the booklet,did she write and compose all tracks in STTS?

[Amai Yume]

I think Good Night Baby, SKY and Ai wo Utaou were my least favs
But they're not bad or anything. It's definitely an A+ album

I'm not positive but I'm almost positive (like 99% sure) that she wrote all the tracks. Composed? Perhaps co-composed?

[TITANIC]

ai wo utau is so sweet.. i love it.hahha

if someone ask me to choose the least song i'll say no one.. hehehe

btw DVD live hasnt leaked yet?
i wanna watch it

[Amai Yume]

I haven't heard anything but I'll make sure to keep on the lookout
Ooh, I'm just so proud of her. I bet she'll keep number 2 spot tomorrow, hopefully with a nice first number for the week to keep her in the top 5 [a.k.a. top 3] weekly 4 second week

[TITANIC]

eww. i'm still hoping she can beat GReeeeN or even #1 monthly
it's just because of the wrong realese date made the album could not hit #1 weekly

I'm seeing promo posters for STTS all over the place...pictures!

[Mirai Noah]

I'm in Okazaki, Japan now, so I bought Sing to the Sky yesterday at the mall. There was a huge ayaka poster in the Tower Records. I didn't take a picture of it, though, because I didn't want to get in trouble. But she is getting a lot promotion!

EDIT: Ah, I see that chocopockymaster is in Japan too and posted pictures!

[Amai Yume]

Yep! I've only been here for a couple days, but one of the first things I saw. period, was promo for STTS. There's posters all around Asakusa and Shibuya...I was hoping to see a big poster on the 109 building, but DoCoMo is doing promo for some new phone designed by Samantha Theravasa. Ah well. I have yet to buy my copy, but that's because when I went to Tsutaya, all they had was the CD-only version...I want the concert footage! T^T

I just got to Japan too, actually! I'm not in the Tokyo area, though. I got the CD-Only version, mainly because I never watch the DVDs more than once.
