Two New Songs & 2010 Tour Updates
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
In the last week, previews for two new songs have made their way onto the internet.
Panasonic unveiled the newest TV ad featuring Ayu on their website. The latest campaign was initially announced last month, and now there’s a new song to go with it: “Don’t Look Back”. It can be seen on Pansonic’s website (look for the thumbnail in the bottom right corner)
Surprisingly, a Honda commercial–identical to the one that featured “Sparkle” last year–leaked onto Youtube allegedly featuring a new song: “Microphone.”
Both new tracks are decidedly not rock songs, which might be surprisingly considering the official site announced yesterday that the 2010 Arena tour is formally titled “ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2010 ~Rock’n’Roll Circus~.” The tour kicks off this April, but will a like-titled album come first?

New Single Out; Calendar Pre-Order
Saturday, August 15th, 2009
Ayu’s latest single Sunrise/Sunset~LOVE is ALL~ has hit stores and secured the number one spot on the Oricon daily charts (the site is currently undergoing maintenance).
Fans are reporting that Yesasia.com has added Ayu’s 2010 calendar to its database. It is available for pre-order with an October 25th release date. The official site and other, Japan-based retailers have yet to confirm this, so it may be a placeholder for the inevitable, but it does have a price tag of $29.56.
Yesasia.com has also recently stocked Ayu-themed a-nation 09 collectibles, and many of last year’s collectibles are on clearance (the $200+ umbrella is now around $90).
