i was in shock also lol. But there are alot of songs that Ayumi has recorded over the years that are unreleased each song tells a story so it might blend in with "Secret" i think these are unused songs put together and redone i hope this album is gonna be good. A mini album would just cheat the fans..

9 new tracks, of which two are JEWEL and 1LOVE, which leaves us wiht 7 completely new album tracks, of which probably two are interludes. 5 new tracks isn't bad either.

edit,
or wait, yeah... 10. BLUE BIRD, Startin', Born To Be... and Beautiful Fighters are the only released songs this far.

That makes 10 new, of which two are JEWEL and 1LOVE, 8 new tracks of which at least two are interludes ... so 6 new... that's crazy.

Maybe this is a sales tactic, to get our attention towards this mini/full length album sorta thing. Hehe..

It would be funny if this really wasn't a full length album and all the new songs were just a bunch of Ladies Night ~another night~'s. I.E. the songs were just old ones re-done like UNITE! ~re-UNITE-d~ or my name's WOMAN ~McMan~ or maybe even GAME ~cheater's mode~ XD

^ I would burn things.

He he...you noticed, huh? :D This is some pretty exciting news! Got me all fired up. :mischief

Seeing as this thread got 8 pages in a few hours I don't think you're alone about that :D.

I had a few hours work this evening... it's as if those few hours twisted reality and I come back to something better. rofl.

huh. well, that's quite a shock. XD

more anticipation for the album, i guess! :] can't wait.

i pray that the songs arent just remixes that would suck

Eh? Is this really true?

I mean... WOW. :thud

Wow. This is a great! I'm glad that the songs released already get to be in a full length album.

Yes but I think it has never been done.
But it would make a lot of new songs , good for us but are they alll done ?

Anyway very BIG news !　:thud

Wow! The first thing I thought was when the mini-album was named secret, I thought to myself "What's the secret, that it's actually going to have 7 hidden tracks and be a full length album?" Hahaha.

I'm pretty happy about this, but I hope that the tracks will be all new original songs (with of course interludes) and that the songs don't suck. I have a feeling that this will be a very poppy album, but we'll see.

That was pretty expected.

I don't think that would happen. That would never happen, that has never happened. The double disc of LOVEppears does not count.

YESSSSSS!!!

im sooooooo happyyyyyyyyyy

*Happiness burst* ^^ You made my day!~

I'm guessing that Secret will unveil a LOT of 'secret' things..

Ayu's such a sly fox.
I bet she came up with this. :p Next thing you know she's gonna announce a one track-no instrumental single and then it'll be some 6 a-side XD
