Go Aya for getting the theme song for the special olympics! Her song will be broadcasted worldwide, which is amazing!
It *can't* be a ballad for this, as it is the special olympics theme, so it should be mid to up tempo with inspiring, motivational lyrics or something?

Kizuna is a ballad that was sung and written by Kamenashi Kazuya, one of the members of KAT-TUN, and was released as a B-side to 'Seishun Amigo' by Shuuji to Akira, the number one song of 2005, and something like number 5 of 2006 or something... it was the theme tune to Gokusen 2 as well.

LAWSUIT! LAWSUIT!

^ this is a joke, please don't attack me ~ (I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, just sometimes sarcasm meters on the internet are a bit low ;o)

Yes, I ADMIT IT. The title dragged me in. I can't help but giggle. I'm not stupid enough to accuse H!P of plagarism or anything, but I find the title funny either way.

Aya took part today in CBC RADIO "Issho ni Utao! FREE LIVE!" aired live in a hall with 4,000 attendants. I uploaded her part on Sendspace.
Here's a Chunichi article on the event.

It's breathtaking. She definitely needs to write the lyrics to a new song, just to get more recognition and be a steep closer to Ai Otsuka bohemian songwriter image lol. It looks she's not gonna move on from the jazzy style even thought the sales are not quite supporting her. I guess it takes time to build up a new image after so many years idoling around. We can expect Kizuna to be a ballad, although I hope it has an outstanding arrangement that is not boring or studio live recorded. Enjoy the Free Live! Egao, Love Namida Iro, Momoiro, Ne~e, Ki ga Tsukeba Anata, NAMIDA··· almost a whole hour of awesome singing!

My first thought was.. Aya Ueto cover!!

There's like a dozen "KIZUNA" ballads I can think of from the past 10 years or so. rofl

UFA just reported that Aya Matsuura's Kizuna will be a cover of another Kizuna released by the gospel choir The Spirit of Japan in 2006. You can hear / buy it on iTunes. I felt like being in the Sunday mas.

Oh, covers >_> anyways, better than nothing! thanks for the info

doinkies · « **Reply #32 on:** March 12, 2008, 07:58:35 AM »

I'm kind of intrigued to see how Ayaya will handle a gospel song...

Seriously, timing at UP-Front is all upside down. She gets a deal for March but the single is released late in May and she plays it exactly two months before the actual release date. Really, Aya?

Anyway I like it. The song seems endless haha Anthem feel, yeah. Nice arrangement

I love this Song

Already a Single that i like it more then the two last Singles

mini*wheat · « **Reply #38 on:** March 26, 2008, 03:45:23 AM »

Oh wow.
This sounds really really awesome. A lot better than what I was expecting! I think this is a great move for Ayaya to go to an artist as opposed to an idol. It really shows off her voice and versatility, imo.

Seagull · « **Reply #39 on:** March 27, 2008, 01:49:20 AM »

I like this song, Aya's vocals in it is great

I'm soo looking forward for a PV *hopes for a beautiful PV*
