Together with the announced of the 49th single, also came the 50th anniversary single. And what a single it is! Finally after 7 years,we get a new single letter title AND a triple A-side single! The title is 'L'. As before,we don't actually know the meaning of these letters, but L is the roman numeral for 50, but this might be a coincidence. The single will be released only 1 week after the 49th single (which means she will have 2 singles on the Oricon charts in one week!).

Just announced, Ayumi Hamasaki's 49th single and 2nd single in the 3-single run for the 50th single anniversary has been dated for a September 22nd 2010 release! The title was already known for a few weeks,but now more details have been announced. There will be one CD+DVD version and two CD versions.
I find it strange that the only difference between the two CD version is only a remix track. Since the B-side of [crossroad] is not known yet,might this mean 2 different B-sides? But there is only one B-side on the CD+DVD version... We'll just have to see what she has in store for us ;)

Ayu had a very good with her voice, it's just wonderful!!!
She sings both SEASONS and Microphone.
And Ayu said "mu-mo" sooo cute at the end ^^

And yet another new PV (I think this is the last one), and we now also have the full song of Lady Dynamite, and I really like it :) I'm sooo looking forward for the concert!!

Enjoy!

And the updates keep coming in as PV's keep on airing! Another quite strange PV, but cool ;p Is nicely glued to the Microphone PV at the end.

Here's the PV for Sexy Little Things:
