I'm happy with the L font. There's only so much you can do with the letter L and I'm glad they didn't go overboard and make it all gaudy looking.

Which L are you talkin about guys? I don't see a special L on the website.

This one

I'm happy that I did not see a Death Note version of L font.....

Oh ok thanks !
Nice "L" XD

The L font is uuuuuuugly!
Ok, it's official, ayu has been taking some major vocal lessons. Her voice sounds so sweet in that new crossroad preview :heart

Either that or they took the beer fridge away for good :P

I think her voice did change compared to the one during the NEXT LEVEL era, but the change isn't as drastic. I guess she just changed the technique a bit, less vibrato and she seems to be chopping the words more somehow.

thx god... :thud

i Love that L symbol!, elegant and simple :D

lol. Her voice is just so, so nice to me in her songs now. I want her to like.. go back and re-sing the whole NL and RnRC albums with this voice. :laugh

L font is very classy.

I'd like to see the entire font used in L. I think it looks sweet and classy.

:laugh :laugh

I like the L font. Similar font to M imo

I really love the L font. When the font is sweet and classy, hopefully the covers will be sweet and classy too <3

oh my god.. let us not spend multiple pages discussing the letter "L". xD haha .. what happened to us Ayufans

I wonder if someone know the name of the L font?

Due to boredom+fandom XD

Avex being slow and not releasing ayu info at a satisfying pace is what happened to us. :yes We'll take anything we can get now.

I think we all expect to get some info tomorrow, but we should be ready to have nothing....

For me we'll have no more info this week.
We should wait next week.^^

The only voice I would ever want back is the I am... or MY STORY one. MY STORY one would sound so epic with all the new songs~

Yes, MY STORY voice is perfection.

this! :)
+ too much curiosity

I love her I am... voice. The voice she uses now actually reminds me a lot of her MY STORY voice. It's very nice & peaceful sounding.

i'm actually very happy with her voice now. she really doesn't do the ear-piercing EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE's anymore, for which i am grateful.

i only wish she would use more vibrato. i freaking love her over the top vibrato!

I'm the opposite. I hate it and do not miss it :laugh You must love Curtain call then?

you actually made me laugh in real life just now...i LOVE Curtain call. i just think its soooo amazing. :yes

Oh darn, no Death Note font. :roflmao It looks ok though, not much you can do with a letter like "L", I'm just glad it seems they haven't added some distracting fugly gradients to it. :P

lol me too. :lech

The best part about M/b and now crossroad is definitely her vocals. I'm absolutely in love with them these days. :heart Like I seriously cannot wait to hear these songs on RnRC final... if the TV version ever comes out. :weep

So far, crossroad has pretty much exceeded my expectations. The melody is pretty, Ayu's vocals are love, the lyrics are her best in a while , and surprisingly, the arrangement is decent (but the full version could prove that wrong lol).

I must say I'm so sick of all the Death Note talk. Lol.

really? the 'eeeeeeeeeeee' is the main thing that drew me to ayu and probably is the thing i love most about her voice.

well, i don't hate it or anything, i just prefer when she doesn't do it.

although, the last album that i was really conscious of it on was MY STORY. i felt like it had a lot of ear piercing moments, even though i freaking loved that album.

honestly, she could release a track that was just 5 minutes of her going EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE over some music and i'd probably end up loving it. lol.

hahaha i would die of happiness. i think that's why i love 'forgiveness' so much.

The L to me looks like a cartoon leg. :D

hrm...i never thought of it in forgiveness. now i feel very torn about the EEEE's because i love forgiveness and i love those parts in forgiveness. that song is just perfection. :yes

maybe all this time i've loved the EEEE's and just not known it.

seriously, in my head i've always thought i didn't prefer them, but now when i think about it, a lot of my favorite songs have some pretty major EEEE's going on in them.

with this HQ preview, the song is growing in me, it's simple and great, and her voice is better.
Now i can't wait for the pv.
....and i DON'T like her VibraToOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

her eees have always been my guilty pleasure hehehe

I used to turn down the music when the EEEE's appeared when other people were around. I figured they couldn't handle it... >.<

I love her "eeeeeee"'s too. I think End of the world would be nothing without them :P

^I love Ayu's vocal and the vibrato which goes to the high point of the eee's~~~ it's one of her unique style of singin':heart

I hate her vibratto.

joshohhhhh - Ayu should not have any session for L cover. Everything she should have it's in your signature. Damn, it's gorgoeous.

Mmm. Nice and simple. I wonder if anyone can ID the font now?

I tried xDD but the image is too small, I think this may be custom made just like A, H and &... but I'll try when we have the covers!

Love the L font! Classy and simple.
And the crossroad preview.. awesome!

Or maybe the same as M? They look pretty similar...

The M / Medici Script L has a lot of appendages on it, haha. I looked up that one first and it's not as clean as this one.

She said she is doing PV shoot for a really action heavy PV, like an action star... so I think one of the songs on L is going to be a cool song, or like rock song.

^Ooooh yes that would be brilliant I say! If I could wish I want something like INSPIRE single again. Something rock-ish, something happy-ish and then a nice ballad as a nice suprice.

I think I remember seeing something about ~Matrix-style~ in a tweet? Haha.

It'd be pretty awesome to see Ayu wield some weapons and etc~

The preview for crossroad in mp3 form.

@ohsixthirty - i am addicted to her voice. no one does what she does (especially the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee). :D

@♥pepicolada - thank you! :D i still can't wait to see the actual covers though! hahah

A musician friend of mine said she has a great vibrato. I don't mind it, to be honest.

Side note: Isn't it funny how you call tell which music is in which era based on her voice LOL. The squeeky era, high-note era, vibrato era lol.

The action PV sounds promising...

It could be another ANGEL'S SONG PV, hahaha LOL
Pure action

action pv?
now i'm totally excited!!!!:heart
more info please ToT

...and then the PV turns out to be part 2 of ANGEL'S SONG PV and everyone hates it xD

Nah, just kidding ;)


I'm excited to see what Ayu has in store for us for the upcoming videos :love

Omg, ACTION STAR AYU! lol Actually the desert are DOES look like a set up from an action film. :laugh Plus, this means there will at least be ONE upbeat song on L.

Hehehe, I love them too. A lot of my favorite songs have them: End of World, Voyage, forgiveness, Because of You, POWDER SNOW... :love

people are complaining about the font too O.O
what's next?

action pv?
I'll believe it when I see it.

I will be more than happy to PM this song to you! <3 The song is called Mou Ichido Kiss Shitakatta and it's by B'z (one of my favs)! If you want to know who's singing it, it's Koshi Inaba! :luv2

action pv with ayu...omg...looking foward to seeing that!!!
aaa this probably means an awesome upbeat/rock song for L!!!! HELL YEAH!!!

Action Pv? Wow o_o so it could possible means rockish song :D oh well.. I'm hoping so lol.

The action PV only reminds of Startin'... I WANT SO BALDY ANOTHER STARTIN TYPE SONG. sooo badly.

Imagining Ayu in black long wig like Angie in salt -melting-...

:lech:D:luv2

I translated her tweet about this PV (I think I got it right!)

^
omg D: it seems soooo interesting. I'm looking forward it.

Thanks for the clear preview! :)
Action PV, that would be another great PV for new single!

*imagining Ayu wielding a 4x rocket launcher and Gatling Gun and doing some fighting scene ala-Matrix style*

xDD

Its really impossible

Can't wait to see what kind of action it is! I'm glad it won't be like SURREAL or NEXT LEVEL... As much as I love those songs, boring PVs....

"Ayu, I really thought you had been shoot!"

Shoot as in 'shot'?

What are they playing with guns? lol what kind of PV is this?! :roflmao

I can't wait to see the PV!

God, gackt should really be in this pv XD

Thans aura~ this sounds interesting :D

So interesting *____* action? wanna see!!

A photo from Luis from his Twitter on location, it seems? I wonder what he's on... is he on the helicopter? Haha.

Yeah it's good~ And for future, kora kora is like "Oh come on!" or "Hey! What are you doing?" kind of thing?

Anyways, she said there is smoke involved, and truehappiness mentioned before, like she thinks it's like Matrix, like super action and twist and turns story line.

I am really looking forward to it.. and yeah, her voice sounds so great, and even she is doing the high pitch "eee" again. I am so glad, because I really like it. ^^)

God this PV sounds soo interesting! I can't wait to see it and hear the song it's for!

Very intresting, so her the PV going to have a lot action.

Looking forward to see more about it.

Maybe it will be like Jolin Tsai's when she did Agent J.

Oh my God, this is going to be a really good PV. I can feel it! Maybe Ayu is doing a death scene?!?!??

So Luis Hernandez IS doing it after all... Oh well, it can still be good.

He is -not- directing it. Ayu said that he was on location with her, but is not directing the video.

Then what is he doing...?

He probably did location coordination or something. He was talking about location scouting last month.

Ayu's tweet from yesterday.

Oh OK, sounds good to me. I think he's pretty subpar for a director of Ayu's PVs, sorry.

she's shooting new action PV in old missile sight in Santa Clarita, California... they will go to shooting tomorrow and editing in Japan.

from Luis H's twitter

haha thanx Ayu,you know what i want :D i just said that Ayu in LA reminded me something about Totally Spies :laugh and imagining shes doing a full action PV a la Totally Spies lol XDD

and now yayy! cant wait to watch it,sounds great so far, Ayu doing stuns and actions like Angie *dies*

Totally Spies? ...the cartoon Totally Spies? :no I sure hope Ayu wouldn't do anything as shallow as that.

But this is cool, action PV huh. The closest she's done to action is... Angel's Song? Startin'? :laugh

if there is action, then maybe we will get another rock song...

i really wish that she will make another song like STEP you...happy catchy upbeat rock song...

Do we know if all of the L songs will have PVs?

nevermind, it will have two it seems

It sounds to me like Mirrorcle World Part 2, spies chasing Ayu in an Matrix style xD
if the song is like MW I'd die of happiness!!!!

^^I hope for a fierce PV like MW lol

^ ME tooo!!

I wonder when we'll get the blossom PV? I hope soon.
This action PV sounds really interesting too...So much awesomeness coming up!:D

OK this doesn't really make sense. Are we sure she is shooting crossroad PV?

i think she should've done with all PVs for both crossroad and L.is it possible that they still haven't done the PVs yet?since it left 20 days only

I don't think we ever thought she was shooting crossroad's PV...?

Summary:
A few weeks back, she was shooting a PV with Masashi Muto. (assumed to be crossroad's)
A week after that, she shot a PV with Takahide Ishii.
Now she is in LA, shooting a PV that's assisted by Luis Hernandez (possibly directed by Masashi Muto?).

That's three PVs and she has 3 PVs coming out (crossroad and the two on L) with the singles. I wonder if the 3rd song on L will get a PV on the album?

ah good, cuz I totally forgot about the first one being shot with Muto. There is still the blossom PV missing then, though it might've been shot months back?

in my opinion all the PVs have been filmed..how could they film the PV, fix everything and then send it to prpint in less then 20 days... :no

honestly i can't wait for the blossom PV is such a nice song, i wondre why she cancelled the PV that time

she didnt cancell anything, she knows why its like that,,,

The PV she's doing in L.A. is going straight to the editing room in Japan as soon as they finish filming tomorrow. (Luis mentioned it in his Twitter)

There are too many ppl in LA! :cry

Either way, hopefully the shooting for the pv goes smoothly and such. Can't wait for L and crossroads. >.<

I think the PV she's shooting in LA is for the L single..
as for the crossroad n blossom PVs already finished weeks before..
as of blossom, i believe it was done before the 3rd week of a-nation...
so for crossroad single's PVs, are all set..

left with L single's PVs~ even though it's just so weird that she shoots for the PVs for the single that'll be released few weeks after... too rush I think~ hmmm~~ but yeah, we'll see eventually~

I hope the PVs won't turn out badly made~

OMG So cool! An Action PV, it's a great news!!

oh well they're so fast..unbelievable..thanks for clarifying

whatever PV she's shooting sounds really interesting, lmao. i just hope it doesn't come off too cheesy. :P

the "crossroad" preview sounds soooo good! :heart

lol thats what im hoping too :laugh

when I heard it was an "action pv" I immediately thought of Cherry Girl by kuu :thud LOL
