So yep, noone knows at this point.

@GRACE: Yes, we get the point. No need to repeat it in every single post. I'm disappointed with crossroad's chaku-uta too, but I don't go around flaunting it like it's the most important discovery ever in ayu-world.

And I have always loved you for it; you have your opinion of things but you don't use it to piss all over everyone elses excitement.

I personally haven't heard crossroad simply because I don't like listening to chaku-utas; they're a bit too LQ and I fear they'll kill my excitement even slightly, because I like to wait until something more HQ, like when there's a PV preview with it. But either way, I don't make a judgement of a song, or a single, until the full thing is out.

On a cheerful note, thank you for translating and giving us all the info, even if a lot of it isn't confirmed by avex themselves =]

[BluishDays]

wow all at once I had been wondering about the other 2 singles and the distance between the two when they would be released

Now I dont have to wonder no more lol

[amorphose]

Ayu fans are so spoiled.

[roanmy]

Hmmm.... both CD versions for crossroad, then whatever I need to get all songs for L (^_^)

[ストロボ・EdGE]

How ungrateful and anal.

That attention seeking shtick has gotten old.

Do note that alot of info is not yet confirmed, even by avex itself. So we should brace ourselves for lots of changes along the way. o_0

29 September (Wed) 50th NEW SINGLE [L]: Original Tattoo Seal B

Arigatou Misa-chan! This clears things up nicely.

Hmm... an orchestra version of crossroad doesn't *excite* me at this point... and I'm quite curious about what that 'unknown' PV clip could be on crossroad so I may go with the CD+DVD versions this time. The covers will make my final decision though. (^^)

[Peruseusu]

thx ^^

[toniayu]

L will have special package???OMG,my dream made true!! *O*

[primavera♥]

I think if I read correctly there's a blossom orchestra version. That makes me super happy.
I really hope it will turn out well ^_____^ and moon orchestra too...I'm really excitied for many. Remixes

[jbrat2219]

Whoo! I live for Orchestra versions!!! <3

[unhidragtor]

wow.....september 22th it is my birthday date!!!
thanks

[ストロボ・EdGE]

So I wonder if that means it's be in a digi-pack, or maybe it'll be something less common like the deluxe versions of MW and GREEN/Days.

What does it mean?? That "L" will come in a special package, like MW or D/G?? (not the same but sth special too)

Wowww *-* thanks misa for explaining.. so there will be 6 remixes... maybe it will be remixes of those 3 new songs?? mmm so many things!!

Oh, and that comment about "extravant composers" is so interesting.. it's like it will be composers ayu don't use a lot or maybe not for a long time... interesting...

[ILoveGeniuses]

@ Edge: I'd be betting the packaging thing for MW and GREEN/Days is more likely.

Oh, and unhidragtor, I love your avatar. So cool.

[Lady_Eowyn]

Crossroad doesn't sound especially exciting to me... ninentie's sound bores me to death... but at least i don't go around preaching that my taste is the only one that matters.

i feel reli excited about L though!!! finally a triple a single!! Looks like ayu is preparing something big for her 50th single, if there's a first bonus press i'm definitely getting it!! still have to decide which one though... i need more information!! :p

[Luja.]

I just saw that BOTH singles are up for preorder, OMG! So much!
That's why we didn't get news about "crossroad" release so long! She and avex sure are teasers
I already preordered both CD+DVD versions for "L", will decide which to get later and cancel the other, based on covers and such Maybe I will even get both (for the very first time getting 2 versions of the same thing!) to celebrate the 50th single. But only if the contents for both are very different from each other..
aaaawww, special packaging!! Can't wait to see what that'll be!

[AyaCere]

That's great news!!! YAY~ YAY~ YAY~

FINALLY the 50th single is announced and after years (!!) of waiting Ayu releases another letter title [L]. That's what surprises, I very satisfied now.

[♥Rain]

this is really exciting! and omg 3 a-sides for 50th single?? i have been waiting for something like that from ayu since &

[aisubeki]

finallyyy!!!!

[AyumiAi]

cant wait
