だからJEWELのようなリード曲か、またはシングルカットされる曲だと思うよ
ロックなバラードらしく、あゆは痩せたとの事".
I understand - New album on 01.01?
-The ballad is a rock ballad and will be the album's promotional song like JEWEL?
-ayu got thinner?

XD

I am hoping that your friend is not telling the truth. I rather want a single instead.
Looking foward to hear the new song!

I want a mini-album.

Ah thought an album was due, guess she's using the JEWEL method to promote

I just got back from recording of HEY!HEY!HEY! Ayu just got back from LA 3 days ago and she already went on to perform...HER NEW SONG! We were supposedly the first ones to hear the song. And everyone...it's a BALLAD! I would say it's more like a "No way to say" type of ballad than even slower ones like "CAROLS" or "HEAVEN." The melody from the chorus actually got stuck in my head after only one time. I like it A LOT better than all her songs this year if I have to compare. I wouldn't say this is as good as her greatest hits, but I would say it's a slight level up from works we've been listening to.

I only remember two lines. I could sing it...but then I think all of you would rather hear Ayu's voice instead anyway. So I'll just write the lyrics...

arigatoutte iitakatta


arigatoutte ienakatta
(I wanted to say thank you
I couldn't say thank you)

(NOTE: Not writing in Jpn...in case Avex people started searching the web for lyrics lol)

She sang the song twice...because I think she wasn't satisfied with the first take (we could hear the playback from the wall behind us after they left). I think the difference was that the 2nd time she was much more passionate.

Ayu has short hair right now...kinda like her look from the YOU days but slightly shorter. She was VERY cute/kawaii. I rarely say this about her even if I think so...but I really thought she was.

Supposedly this will air in Dec. I will assume they will rush to release this around then. Don't know if it'll be a single or not though. And the song title hasn't been decided. (For those interested, guests on the same show were KAT-TUN, jealkb...and possibly DJ OZMA. I don't know if DJ OZMA was an actual guest or a guest of another guest...)

wow that is so awesome, that you have all these......privaleges......

is it even alright for you to be talking about this stuff....?

what's your job btw?

[Ayumiko]

thanks for the info! I'm glad its a ballad. I was hoping she would release a ballad single before a new album though...

[zoomzoom]

He's not lying but I don't know where did he get this information from so meawhile it's 50% true.

[ll moments ll]

you know, it's kinda weird, but i was thinking she was going to write a song somewhere along the lines of saying "thank you" to like Nagase or something. XD yeah, i'm strange.

KAT-TUN too? OMG. i must watch this! ^^

[hiroshi_ben]

the lyric sounds so interesting and nice!i cant wait to hear it!

[ayumisrael]

Somehow it reminds me of hikki's FoL lyrics.. bless ayu and hikki 3>

Not really a privilege or anything...I just happen to live in Japan and be in TA and got lucky...

[Calico]

*waits impatiently for release*

Thanks for the info! Something to look forward to!

[Ayumiko]

Did ayu sing during the bridge part or just peco? and if you have to compare this new song to all of ayu's songs, which one is the closest? sorry I wanna know very badly...since I didnt get to hear you sing it

Well did it have a "Winter" feel to it. You know, like "No way to say", Ku's "Yume no Uta", and BoA's "Winter" songs? If you had to say, was it more like "No way to say" which leaned more towards the poppy part, or like "momentum" which leaned more towards the rockish part?

Also, I thought Ayu had already mentioned shooting the "single cover"...? Although I REALLY do want an album, she really has only been talking about recording and writing "a" new song, not really as much writing as I would expect if she had an album coming out that soon.

I hate it when she releases after Christmas because then I have to wait even longer to get my copy and listen to the new material. Hopefully it is jam-packed like MY STORY!
