[News] 44th single: Days/GREEN & GREEN/Days (12/17 Release)

[Ashiya]

Haha, darn, I guess it won't be a RED/GREEN single released for Christmas, as someone had previously suggested.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the re-recording of TO BE, it's one of my favorite Ayumi songs.

I guess this means that theres no new album this year

3 days before my birthday too

Best news all month for me I've already ordered both DVD Versions. Last time this happened I liked the covers but . . . (for Mirrorcle World, the one I really "liked" I didn't get) SO here's hoping

On a side note I'm kind of glad that there might not be an album this year.

We've already had GUILTY, Arena Tour 2007, ayu-mi-x 6 Silver, ayu-mi-x 6 Gold, Mirrorcle World Single, Countdown Live 2007-2008, A Complete A Singles

Im kind of broke after all this. So I"m hoping this is it for the year if an album drops this year I'll be

[aura~]

and... one question pleaaase! there's some way to know ehich singles releases will be opn 17/12???

[Hatix]

Yeay, finally! Now wait for the PV and the covers ^^

She's done it before, releasing an album on January 1st after a christmas single. As with B&D and (m)u. So an album is still possible then.

[Luv ~Venus~]

This reminds me of how ayaka released her Why/Clap single. I think the CD version was named Why/Clap and the CD+DVD version was named Clap/Why. Nevertheless, I hope this single isn't *****.

interesting, both A-sides equally promoted with interchanging main titles

same here, pre-ordered xD My original plan was to cancel the order if I didn't like cover, and re-order the nicer one. But you're telling me you can simply email them to let them change your order?

Could you explain this a bit further? You can PM because it's quite off-topic. Thank you! ^__^

[Milox]

So is first press gonna be like FREE & EASY?

[♥ you!]

^ probably.

I'm hoping Days won't be a ballad. I wouldn't really want three ballads + GREEN (from the preview it doesn't sound too exciting).

[hpg23]

^ A bit off-topic, but ayaka´s single is called CLAP & LOVE/Why, not CLAP xD.

The title is ok I guess. She is not dying of originality, though, but I´m sure that "Days" will be very catchy. So the shooting in Shangai was for GREEN or for Days?

[Milox]

Probably GREEN, atleast by the sound of it has a more epic, war~love oriented kind of sound, which matches the pics we got from the shoot.

I too hope Days isn't a ballad, but wouldnt be mad if it was.

Kind of sad she is doing 4 versions again though, just makes it look like she will do anything for the #1 spot.

But oh well, atleast we get 4 covers

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I'm super excited. I'll be preordering all four versions. I'm expecting an album in the spring/summer time, or maybe she'll just wait until the end of next year.

Either way, I can't see how it's realistic to think that either Mirrorcle World or Life would be on the album. That's just silly. If anything, Life has a higher chance of being on there. MIRROR was on GUILTY, and then it was turned into a single, and then it was on A COMPLETE. It would be a little ridiculous to put it on her next full-length album as well. It'll probably end up like Part of Me, and just stay on the best collection.

I'm skeptical about Life as well, it's only a b-side. I personally hope neither of them appear on her next album.

I did it with Yesasia, I'm unsure if CDJapan does it as well, but, I'm pretty sure you can cancel a part of an order and replace it with another item

[mimika]

mmm...somehow I don't like how avex keeps putting co-called 10th anniversary versions..aka re-recording of old songs in her new singles...it's a bit of rip off

[Melrose]

^

How is it a rip off? Would you rather have no re-recordings at all? They're not claiming them as new songs.

[Lumine]

yay for LOVE-destiny- <3!

thanks !

Not she, her company will do anything to maintain her #1. She isn't yet a promotion & marketing strategy worker.
Therefore it's not really sad =P.
If I would be into buying singles though I might've been pissed off a bit since it's a lot of money to buy all of them XD.

[kotora]

Yayayay new single!

Her next single should be "Boulevard of Broken Dreams/Wake Me Up When September Ends"

I already preordered.

Well, I'm broke. Hopefully there is no full length album any time soon.

I know the Japanese are really into buying singles, but I don't understand why anyone would feel compelled to buy ALL FOUR just because four versions exist... at the most I would only feel the need to buy two. Whether one would be CD only and the other CD+DVD or both CD only or both CD+DVD... I don't see the logic in buying all four, unless covers mean THAT much to you or you're a crazed Ayu fan with a ton of money to blow on 4 CDs with essentially the same single... the only major difference between them is one has LOVE ~Destiny~ the other has TO BE, and one has the making of GREEN, the other the making of Days... so if you buy just the 2 CD+DVD versions, you're set xD;...
