[truehappiness]

あゆ、ミリオンセラー誌『sweet』のテーマ曲をCD発売

　歌手・浜崎あゆみが女性ファッション誌『sweet』（宝島社）のテーマ曲を29日に発売することが8日 、わかった。同誌は、8月号（8月12日発売）が実売100万部を突破した人気雑誌。浜崎は同誌の10月号 （9月11日発売）、11月号の2号連続で表紙を飾る。10月号では過去最高の115万部を発行、浜崎が歌 うテーマ曲（タイトル未定）を使用したテレビCMも9日からスタートする。

　同曲は浜崎自身が作詞を手がけたミディアム・バラードで、50thシングル「L」（9月29日発売予定） に収録される。『sweet』発行部数は2号連続で100万部を突破、浜崎が表紙を飾る10月号では同誌過 去最高の115万部を発行し「完売を目指す」（宝島社）。ミリオンセラー雑誌とミリオンセラー・アーティス トのコラボによる相乗効果が期待できそうだ。

The article basically mentions that Ayu sang the theme song (a medium ballad like MOON and crossroad) for the CM which will be on L. The song is untitled as of now. I think they are doing this to celebrate a million issue print run, and the Ayu issue for this month will have 1,150,000 copies printed.

The CM will start airing on September 9th. (!!, because that's today in Japan!)

(I initially thought they mentioned Ayu writing the music for this song, but they really said she wrote the lyrics... which is normal for Ayu, haha.)

Medium ballad? *Waiting for the complaints to start*
So Ayu is going to be on consecutive issues of Sweet and ViVi?

It's looking that way.

The ViVi thing is supposed to be a three part ~AYU NAKED TALK~ thing with two more issues and Sweet was just announced with this article.

She's got so many magazines~ I guess it's to make up for the lack of anything during MOON.

Three medium ballads in a row is probably too much for people, haha.

medium ballad...that is something like Momentum or Days?

Like MOON and crossroad.

[Tasked]

anooother medium ballad? :S gosh

[AyUmIXx]

Thanks for sharing!
W(^o^)W! Totally massive promotions for ayu new single!
Awesome!

[MissElin_]

I'm pretty okay with another medium ballad as long as L is more rock-ish or up-beat. So the single have more range.

Good that the L single starts to have it's promotion now. Everything is about the crossroad one for the moment. But L need the #1 streak too so I think they need to push that one up as well not too late.

[Yoake]

Nice to see that.
Maybe it's the who version II ?

[ayumisrael]

Can't wait *__* 1,150,000? wow!!

[SKYia]

Today! <3 Cannot wait!

I think we will have 3 songs in different style on L, I expected ballad, rock song and some either exotic, either cute, either cheerful (My ALL style) song.

[ownsarai]
