[love in music]

lol poor kumi. i was like "wtf where is she?" when i checked oricon. ayu fans have nothing to worry about~ #1 is pretty secure.

[brener]

^

[adantatu2]

Now koda needs like 18k to get the No.1 , i'm so happy for ayu

tbh I dun see any trilogy meaning to these singles (if they are supposed to be). It looks more likely a way to celebrate her 50th single + a big chance to break another record. It seems a bit messy, but I believe this has been planned since ayu went to England to record materials for R'n'RC. Thinking about that, I'm actually quite surprised the things are a bit unorganized when the team had like.. 3 months ahead to do the stuff. We can use her previous trilogy (vogue-Far away-SEASON) and kuu's 12 single project to compare with. avex can easily handle this. Yet it's not as professional as usual. I can see that they want to make ayu successful this time (e.g., using old composers, make TK composed for ayu, and even asked Noriyuki Makihara to compose for her.

I dunno anymore...

this 3 singles don't look like a trilogy, nothing links to each other.... sadly...

avex is just dissappointing sometimes. i think it will get better sales if they do something BIGGER and make people feel that they HAVE to get all 3.
i mean they can come up with the 12 singles thing for kuu, why can't they come up something cool for this 3 singles?

How come it's Avex to blame if Ayu has creative control of whatever she does? If the singles aren't a triology, it's Ayu's "fault"

^It's true, i can't feel the conection, the three are great singles, but for a project is so weak.
But well, i'm happy because we can get the 3 singles in this year.

She gave us three great singles in the span of two months (and a week or two). What more can you really ask for?

What we mean is that avex didn't organize well enough to celebrate "the road to the 50th single". Like I said previously, -vogue-Far away-SEASONS- was well organized (from pvs to covers). kuu's 12 single (in 3 months) did quite well in spite of some tiny stuff I dun like.

M/b, crossroad and L are not too disorganized, but the hype just don't up the level it supposed to be.

Honest question, how does that even help you personally? Does that just make you feel better to see her on a TV screen or in a magazine? I mean she already has a lot of magazines lined up and she performed crossroad at a-nation and on TV, plus she has the 7-day live... what, this weekend??? Seriously, what more do you want? That truck to drive around with her face on it or what? LOL.

if they couldn't delivery the stuff as they promised,i rather they just say/announce that it is a normal release instead of 3 consecutive single release project.what for if you announce something,but badly execute it.its not that we ask for the so-called project.its them who said its a 3 single release project thingy.but end up,its just like her normal releases.

[love in music]

but.. they never even said there was going to be a connection between the singles right?
i thought it was just announced as 48th 49th 50th in a short amount of time. it doesn't mean they have to be ~connected~. idgaf about that, i just want good new music to listen to and she delivered that and more with these singles so i'm very pleased.

[nanakopy87]

i didn't meant that there will be a connection in this 3 singles.but overall,i don't see these 3 releases as a 'project'.but i am happy that at least the songs are good.just that the way they execute this project is abit ....lame,IMO

L for Lame? lol
Didn't Ayumi say that they were supposed to be linked in someway? Is it her lip gloss thats linking them?
This lack of organization is what I was complaining about before. Imagine if everything was organized well; no last minute cancellations and backtracking. I mean L is her best single in I don't know how long and it could have had amazing and memorable promotion had everything been planned. And of course she's equally to blame. She does this to herself. Too bad.
Whatever, L redeems her for all those mediocre singles and I just want the steak to be secured so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

LOL.i didn't say that.hohoho.
she did said that they were suppose to be linked?
i think we can now put all the attention on L already since its pretty much confirm that she'll get the first ranking for weekly rank

[Andrenekoi]

The singles are pretty much linked by their sound anyway... Ayu never released such cohesive singles on her entire career...

[rusuke]

connection among these 3 single project?

Spoiler:

THE LIPS!!!

kidding!!!
