I really hope that it will be announced on this week's Thurstday/Friday!!

Just 3-4 days to wait (if so...)

It seemed that all of the albums since MY STORY were announced on Thurstdays or Fridays so that's why that Thurst/Fri are the only days suspected for a possible announcement.

^Yes, I really hope it will be announced this week !
Isn't a new Panasonic CM scheduled for today ?

yes announce Ayu announce it! >.>

if not all AHSers will get crazy cos of this XDD

Negi's source said that the CM will be released "around" February 15th. So it can be today, or in a day or two.
Release date for both cameras is February 19th, so we should have the CM soon I hope ^^

God I really hope it's this week I'm dying for this......... ;_;

^Ok thanks ! Hope it won't be Microphone again !

^ yes hopefully haha

im excited for the cm really
im desperate for something else new
i just hope it darker and rock like

Today's February 15th so....I hope we get the CM today!

^ Me too, I hope we get it soon, today!

I still think she could release the concerts as a box set. the "complete live box set" features cdl 01/02 and cdl 02/03. they're a year apart and still found their way into the same packaging. :P

I'm getting really excited for this album now! I haven't been as into Ayu since NEXT LEVEL as I used to be but all of a sudden, I'm really getting a feel for her again. The stank that was NEXT LEVEL finally washed off, I guess? XD

Best case scenario (for me) with this album:
-Sunrise is included and Sunset is left off. Maybe even give Sunrise a new arrangement like the one from AT09?
-You were... and BALLAD are both included but RED LINE is not.
-Album features at least 15 tracks... She's been stuck at 14 for the last three and the number of interludes grew from each to the next. 17 tracks is preferable, but 15 is acceptable. :)
-I want a maximum of 3 interludes (counting the introduction, provided that there is one.) If you really need to put 4 interludes on an album to make it full, don't release it yet!
-It'd also be really nice if the album was more rock-oriented than usual.

Something like an updated MY STORY is basically what I'm hoping for. GUILTY was close, but no cigar and it was a bit too short too. I'd really love if that album turned out something like this.

^
this a new MY STORY would be so cool.
But I prefer more a new different album, rockish but still different :yes I know it's hard, but I believe in Ayu :heart

Yeah a new rockish style album but I don't want to hear the same style from her old album~

I can't wait for the album either! Please avex, give us some release dates, with nice limited bonus production :)

Ehh, I don't want a rock album that resembles a new MY STORY. I want an album that resembles RAINBOW. :D More like Heartplace and July 1st! Although from the previews of microphone it sounds like it would be more GUILTY-style dark rock. Hmmm...

Can't wait.

@amorphose
YEP second MY STORY will be good. That was the album that got me into Ayu (and Jpop). Sunrise reminiscises "Replace", Sunset reminiscises "winding road", You were... has that cross between "CAROLS" and "walking proud"..just more rock..and BALLAD is new. Lol!
Microphone be the new "GAME" or "About you"

I think that Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ resembles July 1st more. XD

Slower paced verses and rockish choruses (though Sunrise had a bridge too)
and Sunrise is almost as good as July 1st. ^^

ayu pop >>>>>> ayu rock imo. So I hope it isn't rock heavy like a lot of people want. But even if it is I won't mind, as long as it all sounds good :P

i just thought... god help my wallet if there's another usb LOL
