I don't see how it's being handed to her, she has some strong tie-in's and Ayu is still popular, despite what others say. And it only makes sense to move it so it's closer to the release dates of the tie-in's.

@ストロボ・EdGE:
Just because you too feel that and are very vocal about that doesn't mean everyone feels that way (Yes, I am aware that neither of you said everyone is). Or makes it true, for that matter.

Secondly, there are reasons why it was changed, she might end up at No. 4 if Kanjani8 or whatever it is debuts the same week... So... =)

Avex likely would have known about these tie-ins weeks ago or at least have known about their possibility. It's also not uncommon at all to release tied in songs a couple of weeks before the tie in takes place. In fact, had she kept to the original release, it would have coincided better with the Tinkerbell thing. More than likely this was done to preserve the #1. It also makes much more sense to release it before Christmas rather than right after to maximize sales.

Then on AT2010 he asked me to marry him. He was such a sweet. And Ayu gave us our blessings. She was also such a sweet. Now me and Maro are such a sweets together. Aaaw, how time flies.

I don't think it really matters how close it is [12/16 -> 12/23 -> 12/29] but it's interesting how the soundtrack for the movie is coming out on 12/16 as well.

It's sorta weird imo that a straight-to-DVD/Blu-ray movie in America is coming out in cinemas in Japan.

It would've been kind of interesting if Fukuyama were to go against Ayu, but eh. As if anyone's actually going to remember down the road that she moved singles around. I think she's done it in the past too [or other artists moved for Ayu] but no one could really recall when.

Kind of? I don't think the song will be in the movie at all, but will probably be sold in theatres showing it. Usually they'd label a song as the shudaika / theme song, but this one's just an "image song."

They look very beautiful and I think the covers look much better than together when. The look on her face kind of reminds me of the whimsical feel I get whenever I watch the Carols cm, mv, or when I look at the cover. And I think that it is funny that I saw this picture now, cause an hour ago I was watching the Rainbow Pv and Ayu is wearing a feather dress.

^ Ayu's never moved a single for "promotional reasons" That I can remember at least. About the Tinkerbell thing: Disney is absolutely huge in Japan; they are more Disney crazy than America I would say. That's the reason for the theatrical release I'm sure.

What's the current record for #1 singles? How many?
And how many has Ayu had in row, thus far? Like is she super close to beating it or something?

Cause people seem sort of obsessed. @.@

^Ayu has the most #1 in total, but not themost #1's consecutively (meaning she still needs a few more to beat Seiko's streak, even though she has more #1's in total).

She's two away from having the most consecutive #1 singles for a female act/solo artist.

Seiko Matsuda's record is 24, and Ayu's at 22, I think. She'd have been way past it if Daybreak were never released in 2002, but they released it and she was beaten by DRAGON ASH's FANTASISTA. Bleech.

Theses covers are not so different from what she has been done before (like she said it would be)... but I loved'em, just the font that makes me mad a bit... but overall it's fine

the fact that ayu has a theme/image song for a disney movie might result in it being sold at disney land as well

and honestly, i think a lot of people here want ayu to get number 2 and that's why people are so upset. i've never heard so much complaining over a single's release date change. who cares? the world isn't ending. she's preserving a streak that in the current japanese music market is REDICULOUSLY difficult to achieve. OH NO, the horror of preserving that! she's also the first person to ever change a single's release date--oh wait...no she isn't.

She's the only Japanese singer that has even a CHANCE of beating Matsuda Seiko, and people have known that for awhile. I could care less about some competition to "prove" ayu is good. and tbh, competetion between ayu and a male singer isn't competition anyway, they're not even the same gender--based on the current cd buying audience, males tend to always "win". real competition for ayu is amuro, koda and hikki, who have very similar listeners.
