[News] Ayu will sing the theme of the new NHK drama 「Beauty and boys」

[pimenta]

Yess! Hopefully It'll be a new physical single to be released in a few months

[Party_King]

I was sooo sure about something like this would happen after this iTunes-thing this week

Great news and I just can't wait!

[Bigtop]

Whoa, a new song! I was kind of surprised about this news - A ONE hasn't released yet, and yet there's a new song for a new drama! Man, I have a feeling we might have a new single soon...

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Yay!

And with an actress I actually like! Lol

[ayumisrael]

I wonder if A BEST 3 is coming or it's just that she will start a new single cycle (if she will release more than one single) for a new original album in the winter or in a year or something.

Either way I'm happy for a new song and for a drama tie-in!
It's funny that A ONE has no songs with tie-ins and she already has a new song for after A ONE with a tie-in.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I'm curious if this will be physical or digital.

I'm personally thinking digital, since it starts really soon after the album. Unless they hold out a few weeks before fully releasing it? Otherwise digital could be done much quicker.

Yay! Even more new music, from ayu! I am sooo happy that she'll be providing the theme song to this drama. "Step by step" is such a cute title. And to also hear that it'll be an upbeat song, makes me very happy! I'll be happy with either a physical or digital release, but if it was up to me, it would totally be a physical single release, with a PV & everything, lol. But...I guess we'll see! I just can't wait to hear, at least, a preview of this song to hear what it sounds like.

[AyuGAME]

oh this is the new song that she talking about...the one that not included on her new album! looking forward to this

[hayasaki]

I miss her summer songs like July 1st, Bluebird and Grateful Days! I hope this one will be something like them. I hope this'll be a physical summer single for 2015 since the drama will run 'till i think mid summer.

My first time seeing Yukie Nakama was as Sadako Yamamura in Ringu 0. The movie wasn't as much horror as tragic drama, but she left an impression. From then on I always associate her with Sadako

[inspire_rmx]

Awesome news!! love the title

[Surreal17]

Great news XD
She s really working a lot this year.
Wondering what kind of song this is. Hopefully something like wake up or a summer song.

[truehappiness]

It was described as a 'fight song' so I guess like Beautiful Fighters, right?

[dumbellz]

I hope this song will be released as a summer single in June with one or two more songs.

[ayumint]

Positive up-lifting song, i can imagine to Next Level's vibe

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I'm hoping more independent than beautiful fighters lol but I don't know if that's considered an "ouen" song lol musically it sounds it

[Ayumi Romania]

Yes, new song!

[freedreamer]

I hope its Born To Be esque..HAHA
Hope she sings it in the encore during the tour!

[brener]

Wow! I really hope it will boost A ONE sales even though the song it's not on the album

[Yoake]

Nice news. I dont know why but I didn't expect it to be on a physical single but more in a digital one.
