The person who asked her the question specifically asked if she COMPOSED （作曲）and WROTE (作詞) the lyrics.

If she didn't compose, she would have just said that she wrote the lyrics. But instead, she said yes to both.

Dream on is good, but not my favorite. Regardless, I can't wait to see the PV.

[brener]

this song is so... Kuu-chan-ish

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^we'll see if CREA is credited anywhere. I'm betting she won't be.

what if it's credited to ayumi hamasaki? I'm sure she could have just done it with her real name.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^you have a point. I guess we'll wait and see.

[AyUmIXx]

really guys?
Dream ON composed by ayu? written by her?
if produced by also mean composed?
i don't have the knowledge of all this~

[waterballoon]

wait, I thought I read from somewhere (truehappiness's post I think) that Dream ON was composed by the same guy who did Marionette??

[truehappiness]

I guess this is how baby rumors are born. To quote the article (http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/5103770/):

URATA NAOYA feat. ayumi hamasakiのシングル「Dream ON」は、作詞：ayumi hamasaki / 作曲：Kazuhiro Hara。さらに今回、「Produced by ayumi hamasaki」と、浜崎あゆみは自身の作品以外では初となるプロデュースも担当する。

Kazuhiro Hara composed Dream ON. I think it's going to have "Produced by ayumi hamasaki" where Ayu usually has "Produced by max matsuura". And WOW, the album was announced a little more than a month ago... and it's done!

I suppose that she was answering the first part of the user's question and ignored the second part. She seems to do that a lot. Like someone would ask her something on Twitter and then she would be like "Yes!" to the first part and it's like... what about the question after that?

Except the question wasn't in two parts.

She asked 作詞作曲したの？ or something like this (See page 8), so it is 100% impossible to ignore the "Second part" because actually writing the lyrics and composing the song was asked in the same question, in the same part, together. No one can make this mistake and just answer about the lyrics part, you will have to be a kind of very stupid LOL.

I read again the Yahoo site, and it does list kazuhiro as the composer, but if you look at Ayu or Naoya's sites, they do not list the composer. In the first Yahoo article posted, it said that Ayu offered a piece of music to Naoya, but that article has since been deleted､and replaced with the Barks article. As of now, Barks is the only website reporting kazuhiro as the composer...

Someone should ask her to clear up this miscommunication, because even on Mixi now, many people think she is composing this song.

Anyways, I think it's a good song. I love her voice, and I love the "Ha!" It's great.

[love in music]

^ I see. you're right, she does do that lol.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

She has done it to me quite often xD

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Does anyone think there's a possibility that, aside from the singles, this album won't have any tie-ups?... haha, I mean, it's kind of late... And considering she doesn't really have Panasonic anymore, the CMs seem most likely to just be music.jp and mu-mo, or something like that...

[roanmy]

I am still hoping she'll put some rendition of ただの雨 on it, if she does she'll have one at least... xD

[truehappiness]

They might've gotten tie-ups for the PV songs and may be announced as soon as they release song titles.

I mean, it's pretty hard to get a tie-up if you haven't finished the album, you know? Now that she's done it... I kinda wonder what they'll do. Another Honda CM? Another news show ending a la Last Links? Or nothing at all?

If it's the latter, would it be her first album to not have album-track tie-ups since ASFXX? Also, this is the shortest amount of time ever between Ayu albums. 8 months and a week... she probably really wanted to reset her album schedule back to December, haha.

Last Links had a tie-in with a news show that previously used either Hikki's song (either This is Love or Fight the Blues, can't recall).

[bluegie]

I actually like the idea of setting the release time back to December .

[truehappiness]

Well, it wasn't really a CM... but Last Links was played at the end of this one news show
"報道特集" which is a news program like "60 Minutes" here in the states apparently. It played for about 5 months, from April to September before being replaced by an instrumental piece by some other Japanese artist.

Oh I didn't know!Thank you both !
