Well, I don't really like her new single Confused . "GREEN" is a pretty good song, but i don't like "days". In my opinion, this is a very boring song, it don't left a big impression on me like the older songs of her did it before. The new Version of "To Be" wasn't better. After "Mirrorcle World" a disappointment... I hope her next single is better Smile !

^ yeah I'd have to agree. she has this weird trend lately: making singles of brilliantly epic-sounding songs (GREEN, Mirrorcle World) and then a boring crappy b-side (Days--even though Days was an A-side, Life). BUT it looks like her next album is going to be just AMAZING Smile

AVEX is cruel ... that's all I have to say. Why can't they put it all on one disc. Instead of trying to make hardcore fans buy all three versions.

Agh, haven't been to this thread in a while!

I'm so excited for Rule/Sparkle. But then again, I'm always excited for Ayu Love I rarely have something bad to say about her xD But the covers are so bold and fresh and perfect for the Eighties Dragonball look. And Rule seems to fit in with its tie-in perfectly. I hope Sparkle is a throwback to her old stuff though, because that would be really fun. I'm also psyched for the acoustic orchestra of GREEN. I think it'll be epic.

I have heard Rule yet but you can hear a bit of Sparkle from the CM for Honda

but you can hear a better 21second preview here

I can't wait for either Green or Days acoustic version. I just wish it was all on the same cd. Some days I just want to slap the executives at AVEX but hey, it's a way of making money off the fans.

^ Exactly! avex...they are probably one of the most cunning music labels ever Laughing They know just how to make fans' wallets cry pitifully. Days acoustic will definitely be pretty, but for some reason I'm more excited for GREEN although I like Days better xD Before, I really liked GREEN but right now I'm in winter ballad mode so Days is really appealing.

Yeah, by the sound of it Sparkle is also going to be rockish, I think. But I still have my hopes up for a modified, slightly poppier/techno sound Boogie

^ I have to disagree, I hope Ayu dabbles more in rock and metal, so people across will see that she is nothing to mess with Tongue

Laughing True, true. I adore all her rock stuff. But for some reason I'm craving something like glitter -shrug- I've been getting into techno/house more lately, so that might be why.

For those that have seen it, what are your thoughts on the PV?
