rock ballad no no no, Microphone 2.0 plz

lol, hopefully her new album won't sound like a remix album, and, ayu-ro 5 plz come 1st :D

With all these producers, it sounds like a promising album!

Then Ayu's album needs to be S×W×A×G×G×I×E×R :laugh

Scuse me for being off topic but that Itano girl has no swag whatsoever

She's cute but I agree

YES!! Ayu and trance are the best thing ever! Such unique sounds! Or at least the way they organize them for her.

Is anyone else not looking forward to RedOne being a producer? His works have been pretty below par as of late. Idk how Lady Gaga managed to make the songs he produced decent, but other than those and that one J-Lo song, they have been pretty blahful (that's blah and awful btw).

TBH I'd like an album composed by TK and CREAT, arranged by Yuta Nakano, with at least one Ferry Corsten track. Don't care about any of these producers and only really looking forward to Armin's track and the rock track she mentioned.

YES!!!!

Nooooo thank you, Yuta has lost his flare and TK has already been on multiple albums. I'm glad something fresh is finally happening.

DAISHI DANCE is a pretty amazing collaborator, I think. His HEAVEN remix was one of the standouts on ayu-mi-x 6. Other than Armin, the others are sort of up in the air for me. I wonder if the tracks are going to be more of a marriage between Ayu + their styles and not just some old demos that Ayu so happened to get.

A big fat yes to the album being called Y※O※L※O if Itano's album is SxWxAxG

As much as I love hip hop culture, ayu can stay tf away from that lol.

Unless she actually went pretty hard and pulled it off. Which I highly doubt.

I can't believe Itano named her album that...

Watch her calling it Ayu/Ayumi/Ayumi Hamasaki. It seems to be a trend everywhere, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was as original lol

Hell yes, I'm up for both! Especially if they're done as well as A Ballads (and Namie's Love Enhanced!)

i will buy both just because of the covers. esp A ROCK!

anyway with those US producers, i hope the new album won't turn out to be a EDM-style album. and no to rap song too.

I am 2.0 :D

Well , Armin can do a decent job and i am having high hopes for that DAISHI DANCE song ( HEAVEN remix from Ayumix 6 i guess was good:yes )

Don't have so high spectations about the album's name, I'm quite sure it's going to be "Feel the Love"

And I'll hate Ayu for that... T_T

Another title might be "Hello new me"

Still holding back my expectations as I reckon that we'll end up with dubstep madness eventually. It's likely to be the case, indeed...

@channy Shake it had dubstep and it wasn't too prevalent, but it wasn't that great if a song to begin with either.

I'm excited about DAISHI DANCE and Armin too. But, like Njan, I would be perfectly happy if TK came back Crea decided to make a reappearance. Love songs is one I my favorite albums and I love groups like globe and TRF and TK's works with Namie Amuro and Tomomi Kalhala. But it would be really fitting for Ayu's "new direction" if she were to be Crea again. I am... was a major transition and new ideas, and I feel like this album will be too. I'd like to see it come full circle.
