If anyone wants to buy it, I suggest stalking the store every hour or so to see if it's added; the scarves are going really fast

Thanks for that most excellent tip.

I stalked and it paid off.

Awesome! There's currently one more in the store if anyone wants to buy it I can't wait until mine comes; hopefully I'll get it while it's still cold.

*nosebleeds* Thanks for all the new pics Matt!

Not yet, sorry. I found out from Ai Pop, which is in Spanish. (I just look for cognates lol) The only other links I can find are in Japanese; I'm sure more information will be released as time goes by. (I'll be stalking YesAsia every day myself until I can preorder it lol)

The Single V will be released March 5th by the way

This better be anything except another ballad...

[mangomalte]

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! i'm also hoping for a bit more up-beat. Egao was just amazing (as was its b-side), but variety is good and Aya is great at singing anything. can't wait for the previews! *runs of to write in the forum calendar*

edit: dang, she'll be up against Utada Hikaru and BoA to name a couple.

[Mattthecat]

Fantastic news indeed
So wadda ya think?
I hope it's either "Happy to Go", "Onna Day by Day" or "Double Rainbow"


And here's what I was hinting at...
Never seen any scans of this before, so I bought and scanned it myself. Just finished, so they're still hot
The pictures here are half-size. The big ones have been put on the tracker and will be in the archives tomorrow. Feel free to post or upload wherever if you wish. Though I would prefer if you would use the big sized ones if you do.

^ eh? it's going to be a song from the album?

nice pics there. it's always nice to find out that there's more old stuff out there. *downloads torrent*
btw, i won these (and 10 Risa photocard and a MM t-shirt) from the Christmas giveaway games. Himalia is a great dude.

it's two "photocard albums" which holds 28 cards (each, i hope, but i think he meant together)! i can't wait!

[Mattthecat]

And congrats mangomalte. I hope you'll scan them for us when they arrive .-)

[Azagrath]

^ eh? it's going to be a song from the album?

My reaction as well... I would think it'd be a new song (something upbeat and catchy hopefully).

[Shug]

That's how I want to go.A couple of quick shots from Aya.


Thanks for the Pics Matt

[Mattthecat]

Happy and Onna Day are certainly cheerful
Oh, and I wouldn't mind a new song. Lol

[mangomalte]

^ phew... you scared me there. i thought you'd read somewhere that it was going to be a song from the album. yeah, i'd prefer a song fresh out of the oven.

"i'm busy making myself up!!" man, all this time i thought she was real!

And congrats mangomalte. I hope you'll scan them for us when they arrive .-)

will do.

i think i'll keep looking at this pic for a while to assure happy dreams tonight...

Japanese artist tend to release singles before releasing albums, and that is the trend of H!P as well. So if the new single is a song from the Double Rainbow album, I will be very surprised. It'll be a new song, but I won't get my hopes of it not being a ballad. That way if it isn't, I'll be pleasantly surprised and if it is a ballad, I won't feel disappointed. But then again, Ayaya does a great job with ballads.

[jabigjabig]

No problem at all with new ballad.

NEW AYAYA SINGLE BEING RELEASED ON FEBURARY 20TH!!!!!!

THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Its so close to her last release! This is so great! She hasn't released 2 singles so close together since '04!
If this is any indication, 2008 may be a very good year!

And thanks for the pamphlet Matt! Its very cute! Hmm, a date with Ayaya...

[Mattthecat]

Yup. You're right. In the past it has always been singles first, then the album. A pity that they didn't do it this time as there were several potential singles on the album. But a new one is something I certainly won't complain about

Thanks mangomalte for the translation
In the meantime: Aloha Aya

[Azagrath]

Double Rainbow to me seemed very rushed due to the whole Miki incident and GAM being put on hiatus. Like "crap, we need to release something to keep Aya busy", which meant album + tour in a hurry. I guess that may explain the lack of singles beforehand.

Looks like she may be back on track now though. New single... hopefully an upbeat and mature, yet lighthearted and catchy track.

[ChobiMM3]

This better be anything except another ballad...

My thoughts exactly. Even though Aya is the queen of ballads, they get boring after a while. I wouldn't mind if this new release was along the lines of Ne~e? or Momoiro Kataomoi

Woot, thanks for all the amazing pics Matt! Let's hope these new official GAM pics that there haitus is not far from being over!

[Mattthecat]

Next batch of Hawaiian Musumes
