"Glitter / Fated" is the 41st single by Japanese pop singer-songwriter Ayumi Hamasaki, to be released by Avex Trax on July 18 2007 in Japan.[1] This is set to be Hamasaki's first single of 2007 and first single in over a year, since the release of Blue Bird in June of 2006.
History
The first signs of a new single emerged when Hamasaki stated on her Team Ayu fanclub blog on April 26, 2007 that she had just finished writing a new song and was preparing to go record it.[2] On May 17 2007 the title was revealed on Tower Records' website.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). On May 18, the single was announced officially on Hamasaki's official website.[3] It was stated that this single would be the opening of her "third chapter."Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). On May 22, several Japanese news websites and vendors reported that Fated would be the theme song of the Japanese film Kaidan.[4] It was reported that the theme song would not only be used for the film's release in Japan, but it would also accompany the film's release in over 50 countries. On May 30 2007, Hamasaki reported on her Team Ayu fanclub blog that she would be flying to Hong Kong after her Asia tour performances in Osaka to film a new short film alongside actor Shawn Yue.[5] The film will feature both glitter and fated and is actually a short movie that runs approximately 15 minutes. She would also share her first onscreen kiss in this video. [6] On June 12th the songs Glitter and Fated were both leaked in their entirety.
Short Film
Rather than having two conventional music videos, both songs are featured in one short film starring Hamasaki herself alongside Hong Kong actor Shawn Yue.[7] Hamasaki flew to Hong Kong on June 1st, 2007 to begin filming the short film which took a total of eight days of filming to complete.[8] This was the first time Hamasaki had ever worked with a Chinese actor.[9] Hamasaki had three translators with her at all times and Shawn Yue had two.[10] Despite the large number of translators present, Yue stated that it was hard to get close to Hamasaki on a personal level because of the number of people constantly around them as well as the language barrier.[11] Although this was difficult for Yue, he stated in phone interview with On.cc that he and Hamasaki are now, in fact, friends.[12] During the filming one scene towards the ending of the film, Hamasaki wore a beautiful yet heavy wedding dress and ran around frantically for at least ten takes.[13] Despite the 30ºC (86ºF) weather and several rain showers, Hamasaki continued filming relentlessly.[14]
