She just posted this on twitter, saying "Yeah, the single has been changed. About the reason, after a while I think you will find that you'll be able to think 'Oh! So that's why!!', so please look forward to it."

I think she has something planned for the blossom pv, or something else planned in general! Really looking forward to it.

From Misa-chan:
NEW SINGLE 「MOON / blossom」 set for release 14 July!!

Aiming for the 50th single, the first in a series of 3 consecutive works!
This 48th single is a double A-side featuring the widely-acclaimed famous songs 「MOON」 and 「blossom」!!
Both tracks are the current hot topics and much-welcomed comeback works of the composer for debut song 「poker face」 and famous work 「A Song for ××」, Hoshino Yasuhiko!
「MOON」 has been released as a limited chaku-uta to fanclub members who purchased the album 『Rock'n'Roll Circus』, and the full version has also been sung during live performances. This is one song that everyone has been wanting to be made a single.
「blossom」 is part of the large-scale tie-up promotion with Zespri, with it being the CM song for the 「Gold Kiwi, Green Kiwi」 CM. A number with a catchy tune, characteristic of Mr.Hoshino, this song's melody remains with the listener and brings on a feeling of breeziness associated with the coming season.

Popular songs from album 『Rock'n'Roll Circus』, such as 「Microphone」, 「Don't look back」, 「Last Links」 and 「meaning of Love」 are coupled with the new single as remix versions. Along with a DVD containing the video and making clips of 「MOON」 and 「blossom」, 3 versions of the single are to be released!

★Special first-press item: Serial Number Access Card
◎ Free chaku-uta download of new song in the next series (49th single)
◎ For those who have purchased all 3 48th・49th・50th singles, never-before-seen photos sent to the mobile phone + PC wallpaper

I can't wait for the covers to appear. I wonder what they'll look like...

[Andali]

hope the covers have blossoms on them, that'd be so kawaii

[Keiichi_JPU]

Well.. If she takes the title very seriously, we'll get a cover where she's bathing in moonlight among the sakura trees

(but it'll probably just be a studio glamour shot)

The idea is nice, but I would prefer something aside from sakura. If there's anything the Japanese have used so much that it's become a cliché, it's sakura XD

[Foyuki]

nice!
But MOON really doesn't like a summer single -_-
so I classify it to vogue Far away SEASONS II

[gallowsCalibrator]

Ah, I wish we'd have new information soon!! It's going to be released so soon!!

Ah, and this is such a coincidence... Ayu's newest 2 releases were both on birthdays in my family XD Rock 'n' Roll Circus was April 14th, my brother's birthday, and MOON/blossom is July 14th, my step brother and step sister's birthdays!! <3

Maybe not, but I'm betting that blossom will...

[rakeru]

I hope the 3 singles' covers will have some kind of pattern, a la vogue-Far away-SEASONS. As a few people have mentioned before, I agree that at least this cover should feature Ayu with the moon.

[pepper]

I always have higher hopes for singles than the album (sceptical about albums Oo) and it's arghhhh killin' me, waiting waiting waiting~

[bluegie]

I wish... the cover will feature ayu standing on the moon instead of the moon hanging in the sky.

Then.. some sorta beautiful weird flowers surrounding her, instead of the usual sakura. Besides, the sakura season is gone already.

I just want them to be kinda creative (and nice typo, good poses)

[Kazeyomi]

I'd like a cover with Ayu lying on the water. Like the 2010 calendar's pic, but with long pale blond hair, white dress lotus flowers all around her and moon reflection.

Would be a nice cover imo.

That would be amazing actually! You should be her art director!

No beachy theme with flowers, noooo!~ So clique And the Sunrise cover was so ugly :C

[AyusakiFan]

I usually don't buy singles but I'm hoping that she does something special with these upcoming singles to commemorate her journey to her 50th single like she did with her 10th anniversary singles. I've been debating which CD I should buy but I think it may just come down to the cover and if she does anything special with it.

[JackieRos]

I'm so excited for the remixes!!!

for the cover, I just want something like & with the moon behind her

[adantatu2]

I hope something better than Sunrise /Sunset please

[love in music]

^ I don't think that it would be possible for it to be worse unless they tried really hard. Doesn't she have a new design team and everything now? The design for YW/B and RnRC was great.
