'''"Glitter / Fated"''' is the 41st single by Japanese [[pop music|pop]] singer-songwriter [[Ayumi Hamasaki]], to be released by [[Avex Trax]] on [[July 18]] [[2007]] in [[Japan]].<ref name="Tower">http://search.tower.jp/results.php?TYPE=ALL&STR=fated&GOODS_SORT_CD=101&SEARCH_GENRE=ALL&BUTTON=DUMMY&MT=</ref> This is set to be Hamasaki's first single of 2007 and first single in over a year, since the release of [[Blue Bird (song)|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.<ref>http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58632</ref> On [[May 17]] [[2007]] the title was revealed on Tower Records' website.<ref name="Tower"> On the same date, it was announced that like last year's summer song Blue Bird, ''Glitter'' would be used as a tie-up to promote [[Zespri]]'s golden kiwi once again.<ref>http://www.sanspo.com/sokuho/0517sokuho039.html</ref> On May 18, the single was announced officially on Hamasaki's official website.<ref name="Off Site1">http://avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/news/070516.html</ref> It was stated that this single would be the opening of her "third chapter."<ref name="Off Site1"> Upon availability for preorder on May 19, ''Glitter / Fated'' topped the CD sales chart on Japanese music vendor "Neowing" and it's English counterpart "CDJapan" because of the amount of pre-orders that it received.<ref>http://www.neowing.co.jp/jpop/</ref> On May 22, several Japanese news websites and vendors reported that ''Fated'' would be the theme song of the Japanese film Kaidan.<ref name="Hochi">http://hochi.yomiuri.co.jp/entertainment/news/20070524-OHT1T00035.htm</ref> 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 [[Tour of Secret|Asia tour]] performances in [[Osaka]] to film a new short film alongside actor [[Shawn Yue]].<ref>http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59769</ref> The film will feature both ''glitter'' and ''fated'' and is actually a short movie that runs approximately 18 minutes.

==Short Film "Distance Love"==
Rather than having two conventional [[music videos]], both songs are featured in one [[short film]] starring [[Ayumi Hamasaki|Hamasaki]] herself alongside [[Chinese people|Hong Kong]] actor [[Shawn Yue]].<ref>http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59769</ref>
Hamasaki flew to [[Hong Kong]] on [[June 1]], [[2007]] to begin filming the short film which took a total of eight days of filming to complete.<ref>http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60099&page=2</ref> This was the first time Hamasaki had ever worked with a Chinese actor.<ref>http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/show/story/0,4136,132975,00.html The Electric Newspaper, Singapore</ref> Hamasaki had three translators with her at all times and Shawn Yue had two.<ref>http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60099&page=2</ref> 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.<ref>http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60099&page=2</ref> Although this was difficult for Yue, he stated in phone interview with On.cc that he and Hamasaki are now, in fact, friends.<ref>http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60099&page=2</ref> 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.<ref>http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60099&page=2</ref> Despite the 30ºC (86ºF) weather and several rain showers, Hamasaki continued filming relentlessly.<ref>http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60099&page=2</ref>

In the beginning of the glitter video that aired on July 10th, we can see Ayumi being mobbed by paparazzi. One of her bodyguards (played by the heartthrob Hong Kong actor Shawn Yue) grabs her to move her away from the paparazzi. Ayumi's eyes meet with the bodyguard's; meanwhile, the paparazzi gets a picture of them looking almost as lovers. Hamasaki can later be seen eating at a restaurant and getting a magazine that had the picture of herself and Shawn on the cover.

Later, Hamasaki is seen shooting a music video in a large glass "hallway." Shawn, being her bodyguard, is watching closely. When one of the studio lights falls off and hits the floor, it shatters and leaves pieces of glass. The bodyguard runs to protect her, thus escalating the situation. A piece of glass that would have reached and cut Ayumi ends up cutting his hand. Ayumi is seen typing in an electronic device, likely an electronic translator. She types the words "thank you" in Japanese, which are translated into Chinese by the device. She then closes it and runs to hand it to him.

In the next scene, Hamasaki is seen walking through the streets of Hong Kong with her head down, wearing a hat in order to hide herself from her fans. However, fans find her and Shawn, who walks by and grabs her to run away. They get away from sight and go have a night out in the town. They have dinner and walk through the city. Hamasaki later takes off her necklace and puts it on him. Then, she gives him a kiss.

In the last scene, Hamasaki and Yue are seen walking together out in Central and holding hands. A car pulls up and Hamasaki rips her hand from Yue, but looks at him with a sad look, knowing that they aren't supposed to be together. As Hamasaki drives away, the video ends.

The second video, fated, begins with Yue reminiscing about Hamasaki while taking a bath. It shows a scene where she gives him a necklace which seems to be important to him.

The next scene is outside. It is raining and they stand apart, continually pushed apart by different people (physically, but it most likely means that they're mentally pushed apart by the press). He has a blue umbrella and she has a pink one. When the people finally go away, she hugs him and they kiss.

Then Hamasaki is at a press conference for glitter/fated, where she continues to glance at him and he tries not to look at her because he is her bodyguard. She knocks over a glass to the ground, reminding them both of him saving her from the glass set breaking.

Then something is typed onto the device ("Meet me at the promised place okay?") and given to him. The next scene shows Hamasaki running happily in a wedding dress for a certain area. An ambulance goes by, which she slows down to watch but then continues to run. She eventually meets up at a place where there has been an accident and all that remains is a motorcycle and some other items scattered across the ground. When she realizes that it was Yue, she starts to think about him and picks up both the necklace and ring that were left on the ground. By her sobbing and holding the items it's safe to assume he's either dead or hurt really badly.
