What if all the new PVs are connected like a short movie?

Or one loooooooong PV hehe =D

Lol I hope not.

Depending on the story it would be cool to have the PVs following each other. But what if we all think the story is boring? It'll suck !!! Lol

I kinda hope for all different PVs... NEW STUFF PLEASE!

You know what, you're not kidding. Recently I had the urge to listen to MOON again, and oh my god. To say I feel "euphoric" would probably be an exaggeration, but when I put my headphones on, with the volume at the optimum level, and the English translation in front of me, I just realised what a beautiful, and I mean really beautiful song MOON is. I guess it also helps that I'm actually beginning to understand the Japanese and the nuances as well to help me appreciate the song more.

So, I guess I wouldn't be so info-hungry at the moment since I just started falling in love with her latest singles again!

I know right. When I first started getting a hang of Japanese, I went back and listened to those old old ayu songs, and every one of them gave me a totally different feeling. Even songs which I thought were so-so (Key, fated, part of me etc) made me tear up because of the emotion behind the lyrics. Knowing Japanese really makes listening to ayu a totally different experience. I'd recommend everyone to start learning and see for themselves~ :D

Does it already posted?

HMV is guaranteed the goods :p

^^That's cool. I hope I get something. lol

That would be a cool idea or like roanmy said, like one movie that they cut up for the tv versions. I doubt it since they would have to make new PVs for the singles. But instead I would like her to do a PV for every song on the album.

I think that'd be cool too. I hope if so, the interludes get videos too. She does it all the time for her concerts. I think she can do it for her albums too.

it would be like koda kumi's Kingdom all over again :laugh

I WOULDNT MIND THAT AT ALL~~~

Me either I quite enjoyed Kingdom DVD

instead of just LP sized packaging. I think she really should put this album on a record. If it was, and was included with the micro sd/dvd/photobook, then I'd be really tempted to buy it. She needs to bring them back into style.

^^She'd only be able to fit like 3-4 songs on it though lol

A-FRIGGEN-GREED!

Multiples! :P With a different jacket design for each :D

^^LOL, even so, it'd just be a collectors item. I mean, who has a record player?

I DO! :yes But you're right, I would probably never play them. Just frame them like these:

^^ARE THEY YOURS?!

^ Absolutely!!!!

Very nice...I'm jealous lol

Ugh, I don't see the point in buying something if you're never going to play it. What's the point then of even releasing cds?

^^COLLECTORS PURPOSES!! lol

and what's the point of that? buy it, put it on your shelf. then what?... it just sits there and collects dust.

I think everyone has their own opinion ! what's the point of wondering sb's buying purpose ?@@! If u like buying cds to play , just do it ! ^^!

I never play my CDs, they just sit there. They look pretty though and I would never part with them.

Well a lot of people say that CDs have better quality than digital and vinyl has better quality than CDs.

No body even issues vinyls, the only person I could think of that does is Bjork and even then its limited run and there are like 6-7 records for a 10 song album lol. The packaging and the look of the vinyls is uber fantastic tho.

That's exactly what my CDs are doing, and I like that way. I like looking at them, rummaging through them, looking through the booklets. It's no scientific secret that buying and collecting is addictive, just more so for some than others : P

i couldn't agree more especially lately whene we're use dto listen to hundreds songs the music sometimes repeats but the lyrics are still deep and powerful. So it's still more important to catch them.

Why do we do anything at all? :thud

If people like spending money on things they won't use let them. Those cds just look pretty, I make my own rip and watch the DVD whenever I feel like it.

There's no point in it, but there doesn't have to be a point in everything! ;)
I do play mine though. Like a few weeks ago when I had a friend over, I popped disc 2 from A COMPLETE in my laptop because we were talking and suddenly it got quiet. Saved me from akward silence!

can someone tell me if the album will be sold in mu-mo?
because i'm waiting and i don't see the link in the TA.

by the way, i don't mind if i don't get any lucky draw gift, i just want to have the album on christmas! :D

CDs I would play but vinyl records I wouldn't. It's purely a collector's item, like Pieces said, not many people have record players and not many albums are released in record format so if Ayu were to release them I would invest in having them framed. I would NEVER play them. My other records I do from time to time... it's hooked up to the surround sound. Now if you're talking about music quality, THAT is the best way to go lol.

Picaflor 7/4 does have a point. :yes

if i buy is to use XD

i dont wanna die and my cds never been touched/listened/used... some randoms are gonna take over and use them anyway lol

Even though I use my CDs, I can't deny that there's an immense satisfaction to be had from seeing a complete set, untouched and preserved. Especially given Ayu's volume of work, it's a completist's dream.

I like that train of thought. Very smart. :D

By the way, I do use my CDs and DVDs occasionally. Still, like someone else before said, there's doesn't have to be a point to everything. Sometimes you just want to do something, period. : P

this :yes
There's no point to collecting something, but it's great doing that as well.

I personally wouldn't waste my hard earned money just to buy something and never use it. I personally find it obnoxious and a big form of saying "I have money to waste" rather than allocating it to something more productive.

I'll watch my DVDs sometimes, but the CDs just sit there after I rip them. I look at them sometimes...I love my collection.,

Supporting the artist, ripping them to your iPod, being able to physically hold the album and browse through the booklet.

You logic is twisted. It's like saying "Why would you tidy your room, it'll get messy again anyway!". "Why would you buy a new lamp? You current one also shines light!". "Why would you get a haircut? You hair already covers your head!"

etc.

Collecting CD's is fun and supportive, isn't that enough of a point?

^Well... considering I hate having physical releases cuz they take up space and I tend to break or lose them, I'm happy to keep downloading stuff xD

100% this~

your logic is twisted. I never said anything about not using them. I buy cds. I play them. I listen to them. I rip them. I am talking about collectors that don't even take them out of the plastic. And then I see in other threads about them *****ing about not having any money.

omfg bb you sound so much like me ily <33 Anyway, expecting this to end up in the trash can soon. Hello there trash can~

NOW ;_;

That's what I noticed, too.
If I have no money, I'd rather save it up instead of buying CDs just for displaying them sealed and untouched in my shelf :tired

But if this is a new trend to buy music CDs and then don't listen to them, I am fine with it. Times seem to change xD As for me, I'll keep using the stuff I buy.

i use my CDs, i play the DVDs, but i keep the plastic and they looks like new ^_^

and of course, i want a tracklist NAO

can you stop hating please? you do it on my facebook status too and i don't really know why. just calm down

I want that damn tracklist too! When do we usually get it? I usually don't get this impatient, but I'm dying to see it! Even more than the covers.

LOL THIS. :laugh

Me too :P

I
WANT
THE
TRACKLIST
NOW
TOO
;_;

Who doesn't? lol

this thread is so boring we need the tracklist asap so that some of us could complain like, "omg wtf this is so un-Ayu" "like I bet track 3, 7, 9 and 11 are interludes", "well going to her usual album patterns, track 3 MUST be an interlude"

:laugh :heart AHS
O_=

XD You have each other on facebook and you hate on each other? Dude, today is national unfriend day. Both of you go have fun.

I want covers more than the tracklist because I've learnt over the years that the tracklist means NOTHING! You're like, "Aw, that's a nice title. I bet it's going to be a neat song" and then it's a damn interlude. :(

When this tracklist comes out, it'll be "THEY ALL LOOK LIKE BALLADS".

Bit sad she's already used the name "ballad", I'd love to see the reaction that title would cause on Love Songs tracklist. I plan to unlurk this year and enjoy the ranting first-hand instead of laughing from a distance.

Lol yeah, I want to speculate about the tracklist asap.
I just hoping it will be like RnRC, just 2 interludes. And with a gorgeous intro, not like that lame THE introduction. It was more awful than Prologue imo lol. And Prologue is not that bad, but it's not her best intro. I'd like something epic as Catcher in the Light or Not Yet.

We should make a little game and guess when they'll release the tracklist info and then next covers etc. Whoever is the closest gets a cookie or something LOL.

I don't know, I'm bored waiting....

Tracklist!

1) Out in the Cold
2) crossroad
3) abyss
4) only for ME
5) taskinlove
6) MOON -album edit-
7) Sweet Season
8) MY CENTER
9) Last Angel "album version"
10) Virgin Road
11) chained
12) Underneath it all
13) Inside my heart
14) blossom
15) Until Forever...

I love this song!

Where did this tracklist come from?

please be true ;____;

I still want Crimson cloud.

from his mind I hope...

pulled straight from his ass. :yes

^Uh oh.

I still haven't preordered O___O I need to hurry before they're gone... Friday for sure.

'Cause they always do look like ballads. :P

Here's something to discuss lol: :D

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=105463

wow i can't wait to have extra azz tracklist discussion LOL
to be honest i feel like i'm not expecting any info which is good, because i feel like i have to wait for dec to start before we get anything? man it feels sooo far away when it's not

well don't you have a way with words...oh that's right, it's called ignorant.

Well, the last album was a dead giveaway. I never expected Microphone, Sexy Little Things or Lady Dynamite to be ballads : P. I can't wait to see a tracklist < 3

^^You'd think we'd be used to this waiting, year after year, but it's always so excruciating! lol

yeah.. or Jump! and montage.

I usually always have hopes and ideas for the covers, but this year I'm completely blank.......

I'd want something colorful as usual, but she hasn't done that since like... BLUE BIRD. And I doubt that'll work out for album around Christmas time.

^ so the tracklist is fake i hope? I don't like the "balladyness" of it.

Let's create another thread for fake tracklists and covers haha!

TRACKLIST:

1) Freezing my nuts off.
2) Funny-looking street.
3) James Cameron's Movie About The Ocean.
4) I'm a selfish *****.
5) Poo!
6) That big ball of cheese floating in the sky!
7) 4 weeks of consistent candy eating.
8) MY BELLYBUTTON
9) The slowest angel ever.
10) Another stupid street. Filled with children.
11) My Sex Fetish.
12) You don't want to see me with my makeup off.
13) A hell of a lot of blood.
14) Explosion.
15) What?

=================================

LOLJKS

But yeah. I like that set-list =D I can't wait for the covers. I hope it isn't just Ayumi doing her monkey-moo-moo face :/

I hope for album version of MOON and last angel. that would be cool =)

Somehow I doubt Ayu would use the word underneath.
She'd most likely go with under.

Love those two! :D

So, I think a dark cover, of ayu in lace, or the presence of lace, would be a cool cover.

even though the RnRC poster and stuff had lace... haha. but like, a darker, moodier, edgier, lace cover. haha. like, with the feather eyelashes/nails in Mirrorcle World PV...and kinda like this:


haha...that's my vision for the cover :P

and last angel is the first song. :)

^ That would be hot!

^
It would be even hotter if it was Kuu instead.

^or not.

Did you forget NEXT LEVEL ? It was pretty colorful imo :tipsy

I feel like it'll be something fluffy and light like the 3 singles have been. I hope for something darker, but with a title like Love songs....

I doubt she will. It's been ages since she's actually put a different mix of a single-track on an album, I don't think she does that anymore. And RED LINE ~for TA~ -album version- was just an added acapella part. Besides, MOON and all tracks on L are well over 5 minutes, most leaning to 6. I doubt she'll extend those even more.

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea and I'd love it if she did that! :yes I just don't see it happen.

About the ballads.. Yeah, you're right, that's kind of the reason why I'm completely un-exited for this album. I've never been this lukewarm towards one of her releases.

That's why I'll hope she'll completely blow me away with some awesome album tracks like Last Angel :luv2 If that's the case, the CM for the album will probably get me exited!

^album versions don't necessarily mean extended...they are usually small changes. but I wouldn't be opposed to them, even though I know the chances are slim, haha.

More of my vision:

The sleeve cases are just printed with black lace. And underneath them are 4 different jacket pictures :lech

That whould be a really nice idea, altough that whould better suit Mika Nakashima imho.

I would also love Last angel to be the opening song. Actually, I would love, and I think I already mentioned it before, if they would extend the orchestra part of Last angel to make it an intro, and then lead into Last angel. I think it would be perfect. ^_=
And I love your idea for the covers txjxf.

I can imagine a black and white covers with ayu in kimono

^Yes yes yes. She should totally do a kimono shoot for her cover! But I want as much colour as I can get. Like BLUE BIRD, but with kimonos. :heart

i would prefer something unexpected, but well executed; as opposed to her doing something stereotypical. we've seen ayu in traditional clothing many many times.

Imagine if the cover was one of those pics of Ayu and Mannie :X

Rr a new one....in bed.....covered in rose petals:P

^like this?

when thinking of "love songs". the moon/blossom covers come into mind. i hate those covers, but i think they would fit very well as the album covers.

^that is a good idea !!!
i can imagine ayu in those petals
