"Rule / Sparkle" available on US iTunes

ALL THREE VERSIONS of "Rule / Sparkle" are available on the US iTunes! I'm pretty sure this is the first time something of Ayu's is released internationally (at least in the US) the same day it comes out in Japan, so this is pretty huge. I'm not sure if it's available on other iTunes around the world, though... if you don't live in the US and you have iTunes, you should check!

Maybe we should all team up and buy one of the main songs ("Rule" or "Sparkle")? I bet Avex did this as maybe a way to really get Ayu's music out internationally... well, that, and this IS the theme for the Dragonball movie (though it doesn't come out in the US until April.) Maybe they'll really start to promote her internationally (starting with this and NEXT LEVEL) if sales for this do well? *shrugs*

It was released on the Swiss Store too!

I think it's because of Dragon Ball Evoluntion. The only album avaible on iTunes in Switzerland is GUILTY.

AHS married to Maro
~13/1-2010~

Spoiler:
We had such a nice time. We started dating in t2m PV, took it slow you know, let our love grow. Then it got really serious in 2008. Then after AT2009 we moved in together. It was lovely. 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.

well, since they release most of ayus things on itunes, i dont think we can say this is just to "promote" her internationally...but it does give people who are planning on seeing the movie or who have liked the trailers a chance to buy her song. but i dont expect to see this on the top 10 downloaded songs on itunes

Only .99 cents. If everyone here bought a copy it would amount to thousands of legal downloads.
