Ayu totally lost her sense of style. She looks more & more like a Japanese J.Lo

New summer single from Ayu hitting the stores on June 21st!

Following the pattern of "A", "H" and "&" the single will contain 3 new songs. The cover jackets are different for CD+DVD and CD only editions. The only song whose title is revealed is "Beautiful Fighters" that is the tie-up to Panasonic D-snap Audio CM.

3 new PVs would rock, especially since it's Ayu's 40th single

^ Yesh! I'm really waiting for that single, counting days actually...

Ayu also has new magazine appearances coming:
[INDENT]06/01 Popteen
06/07 S Cawaii
06/12 Sweet
06/23 ViVi
07/01 Cawaii[/INDENT]

Hoping to get amazing pics again.

Don't miss some of the older Ayu scans in J-Music Pics forum

Yup. I was just about to revive that thread.

Old pics, but they are some of my fave pics.

Nice scans, Wuffler! I prefer the short haircut with blonde dye though. And thinking of blonde made me remember about this one:

sekushiiiiiii~

I like longer hair more, but... Ayu looks good with anything.

Speaking of short, these are great:

You can hear a preview of Ayu's new song "BLUE BIRD" in Zespri Golden Kiwi commerical:

Ayumi herself is NOT in the CM, just her song.

No covers yet. If the single is called BLUE BIRD, what can you expect from them? O_o I'm not going to start guessing since I don't do that well. xD

aedon · « **Reply #115 on:** May 24, 2006, 06:00:04 PM »

I'm pretty pissed off, I mean, Ayu got those new Sweetbox songs before Sweetbox herself released them, why couldn't she buy another one? >_<

And "BLUE BIRD" sounds so lame, she could've used 青い鳥/Aoi Tori instead

Wuffer · « **Reply #116 on:** May 24, 2006, 10:47:14 PM »

Well, Sweetbox was just another experiment she did...

Maybe if she wrote BLUE BIRD in Japanese it would sound lame to the Japanese people.

Besides, she never writes her songs names in Japanese. Except for HANABI and kanariya.

Thank god she didn't. SWEETBOX dragged her sales down.

Aoi tori sounds lame to me.

You forgot Hana from "A Song for XX" album

But anyway, what's wrong with you people hating Japanese titles? O_o; Even Amuro released a song with kanji title at last so I think it's time for one for Ayu too... instead of westernizing her music to extremes like gospel >_>

Wuffer · « **Reply #119 on:** May 25, 2006, 02:25:45 PM »

^ Hana... I should've known there were more than two. xD

And I have nothing against Japanese titles. But the Japanese people maybe find English an exciting language, at least they use it everywhere and maybe for grabbing attention it's effective. It might be some kind of sales point to use English.
Not that I have studied Japanese culture or people, just thinking. xD I guess I read somewhere that Japanese people are interested in Western culture so....
