2008 begins with a new single, [[One (Ayuse Kozue song)|ONE]]. Like her previous single, it's a slower, almost ballad-like and strays from her bubble pop that she typically does. The single reached the 59th position and charted for three weeks, becoming her best single since the debut. On April 23rd, Ayuse comes back to her usual genre with the single [[Koyoi Kimi ni Koishiteru]]. The music was produced by [[Wise]] and did not chart so well like [[One (Ayuse Kozue song)|ONE]] but stayed at the charts for three weeks too. She also made collaborations with [[SEAMO]]'s single [[Honey Honey]] and album [[Stock Delivery]]. The year ended with a digital release entitled [[Jingle Bell Love|jingle bell love]], a Christmas song. It reached the 67th position on the iTunes Jpop songs chart.
