WOOOOOOOOOT!!!!! I'm so buying the USB+SD+CD+DVD+Photobook <3 Even that my wallet and me will crying since i'll be poor but hey it's Christmas :P

I think the title is more related to lyrics than songs themselves, but that's my opinion.

Anyway, excited for this and collaboration!

That's basically what I was trying to say, but you've put it skillfully into one sentence. ^^

Wow...! I love the title "Love songs." It is rather simple for an Ayu title, but it fits the time of year perfectly and I'm sure I'm going to like this concept. :) I'm also really happy that "Last angel" is getting a music video. I hoped it would, but didn't think we'd get lucky again like with "Sparkle" (if you call that video luck. :laugh)

Also, the AAA collaboration single... which member is this? Male or female? Either way, I'm sure it'll be good, but if it's one of those guys that sang for AAA during THX A LOT, I know I'll LOVE it because I was thinking how well their voices and Ayu's would fit together when I heard THX. :D

yay! there'll be 9 new tracks!

and what's the micro SD version for? ==a

an USB version! yes! :D

o.O and finally... a collaboration! :D go ayu go!! :D => too bad she's not the lead artist for this single... :D

Wow this is horrible. Just horrible...
I'm saving all I can to go to CDL... But now this?! And it's pretty much to epic to miss...

But Love Songs? Really? LOVEppears was smart, Love Songs is probably the worst album name her album have had, EVER. But that doesnt mean the album won't be good. I think she will do a great album, I'm just not lovin' the name, at all...

I NEED MONIES (like many japanese said in class when they thought they could bend the word money, hehe)!!!!

This is really surprising news but I'm so happy. I like the title "Love Songs" and she's producing a single as well. So cool...

Three wise quotations:

After four ballad singles and 1 album that for me worked as sleeping pill, I am really worried about "Love songs". But I won't feel bad about the new album as long as I did not listen to it.

Still, in my opinion she should have released A BALLADS 2 instead of her last four singles.

Actually I am just waiting for ayu trance 4 ^O^

microSD+USB+DVD -> all with the same contents inside??

what a waste... T.T =.="

what's in ayu's mind actually??

oh, but the micro SD uses lossless audio files! :D

wow i can't wait! this is so exciting that it's killing me!

Thanks for the answer! ... I'm kind of disapointed.
Oh well, CD+DVD this time for me.

Thinking about it more and more......if I miss the USB/SD version I'll just get an overseas edition, I can't justify that much just for the photobook especially when I want to keep money for Ayu Trance 4's Japanese version....

OHMYGOD MONEY MONEY MONEY!

I'M sad about the title. NOT because I'm expecting ballads, JUST BECAUSE IT'S LAME. COME ON, it's like the most uncreative title of her albums EVER.

But I don't expect BALLADS. LIKE 70% of her songs are about LOVE. And they are not all ballads :P

Hm, examples:
Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~
Last angel
(Even if I love you and miss you
Even if I can never meet you again)
Sexy little things
(What do you mean by "I love you"?
What do you mean by "You are the best"?)
LOVE 'n' HATE
(don't) Leave me alone
talkin' 2 myself
(Wherever should you go
To find a true smile?)
glitter
1 LOVE
kiss o'kill
(However much our bodies may wander
Our hearts always come close together in the end)
STEP you
About you
(You shut the door of your heart with a violent noise
And lost the key to open it)

and many, many manyy others~

omg I just noticed Last angel has a PV @__@ Better make it epic, better make it epic.

WOWWW! there's news already! Though I've never loved a song a called LOVE SONG but an album with that title makes it sound sweet. I wanna preorder it already..and damn at the USB+Photobook.that's gonna kill meh

WOOOW so exciting!! i`m feeling the anticipation begin gwhaahah
i hope there`s at least 6 new songs!!
gwaaaa

It's also lame, cause Ku just had Eternity Love Songs. EVEN THIS TITLE WAS BETTER
>_________>

And I can't expect CRAZY cover with this title :( Oh, poor me, Ayu, surprise me :(

I searched in Ayu's discography, NL USB was 6,800Y and now we are getting for 2000Y more a microSD a separate DVD and a photobook... XD I guess this USB won't have an elaborate design like NL had?? hahaha

I.... don't like the title. :S

But the combo microSD sounds fun, I'm excited to see what this will turn out to be. 8,800Y is a bit much... But I guess I'll just have to buy this one single version instead of getting all of them as I've done in the past. I love photobooks, I'm glad she's doing one again!

Wah~~ I need money now~~~~~

So, Ayu will not sing in Dream ON?? She makes the music right?

I can't say it yet, but the worse title or cover, the better music for me LOL. NEXT LEVEL had awesome title and pretty good covers, but i don't like the music at all. Guilty had AWESOME TITLE and AWESOME covers, and it's also my least fav album (XD)

Please let it be true. ;d


(and i'm so silly >.>)

love songs?:heart love the title!!
dunno what version to buy :(

No orders take in TA shop yet? T~T

I'm obviously excited for a new album and single, that will be great.
But... Love Songs? Doesn't exactly scream creativity to me. I'm sure they could have come up with an original and inspiring title.

Haha, I'm even looking forward more to Naoyas single than Ayu's album! j/k It's so great that the two of them work together, though. Someone asked, Naoya is a male member of AAA. But I wouldn't think of it as an AAA thing, because Naoya is also a solo artist and also released an solo album in 2009. The album is called TURN OVER, if you want to give it a listen. His music is more R'n'B compared to most AAA songs which are more upbeat/electronic, so even if you don't like AAA you might enjoy his music. I wonder if it features Ayu singing or if it's just her producing and/or maybe writing the lyrics/music?

fsahbfhdsabfsa new album infoooh


..Phew. Well, that name is laame, it reminded me so much of Kumi's latest album. But I'm looking forward to the LA PV! I'm sure it'll be interesting to watch.
As for the single I'm not sure what to think but I'll look forward to it as well.

talkin' 2 myself is not a love song lol Some of those aren't either even though she might mention love in some way, it doesn't make them all love songs, but talkin' 2 myself definitely isn't.

^ I didn't clearly mean that they are LOVE songs. But they are about passion, emotions, love in some way. But well, maybe i'd take t2m in wrong way xP

I have a feeling I'm going to hate this album.

I want the special set one!!! Can't to the tracklist and cover.

^ I had "BIG" feelings for RnRC. And i ended with "Oh, i just like it overral. It's ok. Nuff special."
I had "ENORMOUS" feelings for NL. And I ended with totally "WTF is this"

NOW i got NO feelings. I hate having BIG feelings. It always comes out in baaad way.


Hm, I might have not listening to previews till studio HQ mp3's and PV's. It's a good plan.
I remember I've downloaded (miss) clearly HQ because i DIDNT KNOW any forum like this yet. And it was awesome.
Same with Secret and I was yet happy. IT'S A GOOD PLAN.

I started feel dissapointed while I started downloading these freaking PREVIEWS. They ruined my life.



XDDDDDDDDDDD

yay!! I'm very happy with the news :) Even though not very excited with the title lol I will have to wait to see/hear more about this new album to judge ^^

thanks!

Double great news =) i love the title of the single. very Ayu-ish. I hope the album will have more variety of genres inside beside the ballads released so far. Hoping for a great album. anticipating.

I can't wait for them!!! ANOTHER SINGLE witb an album!?

I'm okay with title, but it sounds like a compilation album or something =="

anyway omg we're getting a PV for Last angel and 15 songs altogether? yayyy

omg I know!! that is all what I was asking for so I'm not complaining xD :luv2

Will there be an OS press of the limited edition??? I just wish the LE came with a friggen CD!!! I might have to get it and the CD-only version... Nah, I'll get the OS press of the CD-only and stick with the LE for now, there solved my own problem! :laugh

Wow, I am not liking that title. Especially since Kuu just came out with ETERNITY ~Love & Songs~.

I'm really happy for La PV but i just can't imagine how it will look like o_o

Kumi and Ayu have been mimicking each other almost all year actually. It freaked me out at first but now I'm use to it. I'm not surprised by the title being similar at all. I just hope this album is as good as Eternity is.

is this single for Ayu discography or URATA NAOYA???

pepper - all i can imagine about PV for this kind of song is Whatever PV...
she already looks like angel in Whatever PV, and the song is techno too...maybe there will be corelation between them...

URATA NAOYA (feat. ayumi hamasaki).

the title love songs makes the album sound like as if it were gonna be full of ballads, but i hope not!!
i'm sick and tired of all this balladness lately, i want to hear different genres, i don't care what genre, as long as they're not ballads pls! We have 6 already..

Hm, I only can think of something "dramatic" like MW pv...

btw that Naoya looks kinda cute lol

Rock'n'Roll Circus =/= Rock songs
Love songs =/= Ballad songs

Last Angel video!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!! :D

LOL I bet you they probably won't even be love songs, those are just the singles! :roflmao

um... is that a full tracklist? :eyebrow it says..15 tracks....so where's the rest?

Love songs ??????????? :puke
Whats THATTT

I hope there will be upbeat songs

Can't listen more to Ballads :no

They haven't told us yet.

I just realised the photobook = calender!

Im guessing :P Large, and only 12 photos (still more than 6 though!)

jbrat2219 => ahhh sio just as I thought they try to keep the surprise a asurprise XD

BTW, aboyt the name, you know guys, it might sound borring if you think about people in love, but maybe it's like Love sings them, you know? not someone "in love"...lol dunno if it makes sence.... just look to it from the other perspective :P

very very very simple album title, OMG, I was disappointed with 12th album title, I hope the content of 12th album (songs, cover, booklet, and all) does not disappoint

Sounds interesting. I haven't heard of the person she's collaborating with..I'll look him up later, though. Thanks for the news

ya.i don't really mind if the title is 'Love Song',but please make it special~! i'm so curious to know how the microSD package look like

Thanks for the info. I'm not too jazzed about it yet

I wonder if Ayu'll sing DREAM ON with URATA NAOYA or if she only compose the song?

@SweetAquarian102 Naoya is also a former dancer of Ayu. He's in Greatful Days Video and in Dome Tour and Stadium Tour.

I don't get all the title hate. Love doesn't have to be about romantic love, it's also present in songs like Virgin Road which is a song for her mom, saying thank you for her love. I'm ok with it. I don't really care about the title of a song/album they are just names.

Part of me is hoping that the Naoya single is a cover of the Aerosmith song. BECAUSE AYU PRODUCING THAT + NAOYA SINGING IT WOULD BE EPIC, OKAY. >__________>

BUT YES! ****ING YES. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

then its better to be like that.hahha. I am more excited for the single than the album

Well I just hope isn't full of ballads.

And lol at the typo:
・MOON (video clio)

Of course, I had other things lined up for December, but if it comes down to it, I WILL cancel those if it means I GET THAT LIMITED EDITION. ...and maybe the CD-only afterward. Depends on if the CD-only's cover is better than the CD+DVD's cover.

NIce..Thank Alot.....Bday Present!!!!

if it's a featuring that means she is also singing together with Naoya. I hope they will do at least 1 TV performance together!! Since AyuReady? we havn't seen Ayu singing togethe with other artists!! (Ok.. yeah.. this summer with THX A LOT... XD)

That's not necessarily true. Some DJs and producers have their name as the featured artist even when they don't provide vocals (like David Guetta).

I want the pb but I want my physical cd. Argh
Eh wait is the pb a digital one or a physical one?

i hope, i very very very hope AYU WILL BE ACTING in this "bloosom" another PV.... T^T

I really wanna buy the limited edition but it's so expensive!!!
I hope they knock out the microSD since I don't care much for it even though I have the slot on my phone.
They should split it into a USB version and microSD version.

Sooo happy that Last angel is getting a pv! I've been dreaming about this ever since the song came out!

Considering Ayu hasn't written a song in a while I'm guessing she'll either sing on it OR only produce it (like max for her), and her name is attached to make it sell more.

Seconded. Although crossroad, MOON, blossom, Sweet Season, Virgin Road, and (to some extent) SEVEN DAYS WAR aren't good omens... :(

Heck yes!!!
This is the best news to wake up to :)

I am psyched about Last Angel's PV. PSYCHED!! :love

i wanna order the Limited edition, but i also want the physical CD to listen to it in my car or wherever else... I think i will buy the Limited one + the CD only.
*gosh i have to save for the AT10 DVD too >_<*

No idea, I was thinking more of getting the CD+DVD in an OS press although it'd be interesting if after NL they decided to do an OS press of the USB/SD as well! :lech

it's physical, and it has the size of an LP =D That's why it can't come with the CD/CD+DVD~

I'm so ****ing excited about Last Angle PV I love this song can't get over it :blove

Too bad the PB is big, cause the scans will leak late, cause someone should find a big scanner then XDDDDD

dream comes true!!!! T_____T

but the title of the album.....:thud

Neat!!! I do want that limited edition but I just do not have the money xD
But I'm really excited for this! And Last Angel PV!!!

I cut my second class so I'd be here as soon as YA updates LOLOLOL.

I don't like the title at all. But well, it is not the first time she has lack of creativity for album titles :shrug Did you remember Secret and RAINBOW? Are not so creative as titles.

Btw :banana1 OMG YES A NEW ALBUM AND LAST ANGEL PV :banana2

I'm super excited *__* :heart although I need to save a lot of money. I missed the NL USB and RnRC box, I don't want to miss this one ;_;.
But that 12-pages photobook it's quite suspicious. Will be the calendar? But if it is, would be unfair to put it on a limited edition only :|

I don't know how to feel about this. Love songs sounds like it's a compilation album, not an original album. And I think she's pushing her luck with the single on the same day. I feel like this could be the single that breaks the streak.

All that aside...... I'M SO EXCITED!

A new album AND a collaboration single! OMG dieing of excitement right nooow!!!
I like the title "Love songs", though Dream ON isn't that bad either.

Can't wait !!!
extremely excited for new coming album and first collaboration single!!

I dont know if I like the title, but that isn't a big deald for me as long as the songs are great ^^

Hahaha! Reminds me of Koda Kumi! ;) But either way, I'm looking forward to Dream ON! ^^

U GO GIRL!!

AM I SEEING A PV FOR LAST ANGEL

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

Love Songs:cheesy
Dream ON:say what?

I don't understand why some of you call the title "lame", I like it a lot♥

Too much things to assimilate, but wil, Last Angel have a PV???And Love Songs is an original album right??

^yes and yes!

I can't wait!! So excited!! :D Thanks for the info :)

i knew an album announcement was eventually coming, but i still thought in the back of my mind that maybe this album was some sort of compilation, judging by the title. :P but obviously i'm not surprised it's really the new title for the album, which is fine for me cause i love simple titles like that which include the word "love", lol! :tipsy

anyway, not surprised about Last Angel's PV, which is great for me since i love the song. and i kinda expected 2 more new PVs. so it's like NEXT LEVEL all over again. i don't listen to AAA, but i am interested in this collab single, so we'll see how it is! :D now all i want is the covers lol.

It isn't an Ayu single, though. It's Urata Naoya's single, produced by Ayu. It won't go on HER discography, just add to her repertoire as an all-around musician.

Yay! Thanks for the birthday gift Ayu :D

wow.... too many things on my mind now!!!!!! mmmhh

whatever, thank s for the link to youtube video with the lad... i liked the song and maybe there's still hope for a not ballad song in the new album (i do think it will all be related with love but not necessarily 1100% ballads)
i had a good laugh because he reminds me to a boy i met during a theatre course, and we coudn't stand each other, well, basically, he couldn't stand me, but well...
