Of course it's gonna sell well if the song is good...but apart from classics like M or SEASONS, the only times Ayu have sold well so far is by stuffing the single full of A-sides and remixes and whatnot. But that's not possible anymore. Unless she can pump out another M or something her single sales are only gonna dwindle and dwindle...

I'm just hoping that this won't be a continuing trend, as I REALLY like her remixes. I have one thought...maybe this single was already all planned out when the "Avex Incident" happened, so they went through with it...and maybe they'll start to beef up their singles a bit more after this?

I haven't been buying the singles lately anyway...I find they're completely not worth it. I'll buy the album, I'll definitely buy a remix/AO CD if they release another, and I'll buy the singles if they make it worth it.

Three tracks are not worth it to me, no matter how good the song, reason being the cost to get it shipped over here. If I could walk into a CD store at the local mall and pick it up, I still might get it, but that's a no-no. I mean, $10+ for a single that already isn't worth it, plus $5+ to ship the bugger? I don't think so.

the thing in not understanding is that sacd and dvd-a are owned by two different companies, which just seems so funny. i have yet to buy the dvd-a of rainbow, but i want to so bad, multi channel high quality audio is where it is at, it is so awesome, i have linkin park, dvd-audio for re-animation, which kicks so much butt hearing the sounds coming from all over the room, and yes dvd-audio will hold video, since it is pretty much just a dvd, since there are vids on my linkin park dvd-audio. only sacd's i have are only 2ch stereo, but they do sound very nice, and are 24bit music as opposed to your 16bit standard cd. by havin this u can hear "subtleties" which u would normally not hear, but if you only listen to mp3's you would never know anyways.

CAROLS (more NEWS about the single)

Carols (34th single) will be on sale on the given date 2004.09.29, nevertheless this single will only contains ONE SONG in 3 version
recorded on 4 different types of CD,DVD,SACD﹐ DVDaudio
And inside these CD, there will be the CAROLS CM as well.

In general, the song ABOUT YOU will not be recorded on this CD, i think this song will be featuring in the next 7th ALBUM~ like the ANGEL's SONG last time , it was also recorded in the MEMORIAL ADDRESS ALBUM~ so we have to wait until the full version of ABOUT YOU comes out, now we will soon hear the FULL VERSION of CAROLS original mix~

Thanks, but we know.

Brittany, did you check the downloads section? There should be samples of 'About you' there.

Thanks for posting, but actually it's not the news... We knew it a ......... while ago. And according to YesAsia it will be MV and not CM on the DVD: "DVD: 01 CAROLS (Video Clip)"....

Maybe CAROLS is a very good song such that Avex has so much confident that having only 1 song in the single will make good sales as well. You know it doesn't really matter if you are to include another song, i.e. the expenses on making a CD is the same afterall no matter how many songs are there. Oh well, hopefully CAROLS really pwns.

Read yesasia's official review for MISIA's "Namae no nai sora wo miagete".

It says "Usually when a Record Company releases a single with only the one track with it's instrumental, they are very confident that the song is of utmost top quality, that it's enough to sell well."

I do hope that is the case.
