I forgot there was going to be a booklet full of other pics, but holy crap this one is nice. I'm not shocked at these being so much better than the covers though like some people are, it happens all the time with ayu covers, especially Magazines. Maybe ayu got some fake sand in her eyes from the set when she was choosing the covers ;P

Just got the "order has shipped" email from CDJapan. I'm guessing that I will have my copy by Tuesday morning.

Oo, I really like the part that was cut out with the other verse+chorus. Very cute!

AWW cant wait!!
only 2 more days!

Absolutely! :yes


Now my flight to HK has been booked. Will get my copy at HMV HK by the 15th. :luv2

Slay them Ayu, slay!

"Hey guys, this is a beautiful shot of Ayu! So let's use the uglier ones to use as the covers!"

You & Me is so good imo. I like the full version way more than the little edit we got :heart

that made this song cute! :love

Wow, You & Me in full is perfection! I'm shocked, since I wasn't impressed with the shorter version. Never thought I'd hear "Lunch time" in an ayu song :laugh Love it. And it's the return of the classic "La-Lai" at 3:20 :P

Downloading You & Me full atm, can't wait to hear it! ;a;
edit : Yes, the full version is definitely better, as someone said in another thread the "uh morning" does sound a bit off though, but it's not a big deal~
another edit : well after another listen the "uh morning" thing doesn't even bother me anymore haha

Did she really say lunch time? :laugh
I had no clue what she saying throughout that verse lol. I guess I should relisten

I could make out "ooh morning" "ooh lunch time" and "ooh sunset" not sure about the last one.. sounds like ___night. But could be her trying to pronounce "evening"? Not sure, but her accent is adorable in this song. :P

it's midnight ^^

Ohh that makes sense haha. Thanks for clarifying ^^ So cute.

THIS. I thought it was Rammstein (German metal band).

And yeah, after so many plays uh morning/lunch doesn't bother me anymore. Love this part now.

I love the song in full...

love the second verse and second chorus

This song has to be one of the catchiest songs ever OMG
And i seriously cant wait for the fullmversion of the PV

The album version of You & Me is a thousand times better than the Youtube Edit.
I'm still unsure how I feel about it overall.
But it's a lot better. :D

It makes me wonder what in the world she will release next. She's so unpredictable at the moment. ^_^

I can't understand how can be two same songs different, when the YT version is just a short one of the full one. I guess I'll never get on these people's wave of thinking...

her face and smile looks great on the truck...

I wonder when You & Me will be release as chaku-uta...it's really late...usually she release it one week before physical release...

and i just have a little piece of hope that maybe ayu can get number one on daily chart...
looking on SMAP chart life...Nana Mizuki beat SMAP in the last 2 days, with small margin...so maybe Ayu could get number one, just on daily chart...weekly chart will be miracle...but i have little piece of hope for daily chart...

omg the truck finally,yaay ^^

anyway did she say, on morning or uh morning? xD

Ah!!! So it IS sunset!!??

I REALLY heard "uh, summer sex!" hahaha. But "sunset" make sense... as well! :innocent

:P:P:P u r so funny ur avatar surprised me :luv2

My sister also thought that Ayu said "oh..summer sex" on the first listen..LOL!

Edit: WOW!!! This is the first Ayu album that didn't leak (for me)...

crap! now that you mentioned it im not gonna listen it like i first time did it,coz it really sounded like she said "on summer sex" :dead2 LOL

talking about S Cawaii! i saw Ayu and Maro there! omg Maro's torso ,drool :luv2

wow. thats great!! thanks for sharing! they could be playing you & me

You & Me is really a great summer song :) love the extra verse and chorus..really makes the song so complete..

I love the full version of You & Me!!! :heart I can't wait to buy the 2 versions *___*

have been there...at night it will be full of people...very good promotion...hope it will works...

it did works though, when i'm there, sone yukie promote her debut album, and i hear some boys talking behind me, questioning who is she...so it does works

Taking SMAP's recent single chartlife, the fact that their singles usually sell better than albums and that Ayumi has a semi-promoted best-of coming out into account I'm pretty sure she will get a daily #1. A weekly #1...nobody can say. The album could practically sell anything from 100k to 300k.

Where is the full version of You & Me? I can't find it :(

Never mind, found it now :)

I already watched the full version PV of You & Me♪
she seems to be overacting in every scene. >.>

^ where did u watch it? can you upload it?

You & Me full PV
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDM2Mjk2MjQ0.html

I only got the overacting vibe from the ending. The rest she seems like her natural cute self, like how we see her in her making of videos. I liked her in those cute scenes the most.

I only get the overacting from when she's alone in bed.

I actually hate it. She should just, never ever mouth words again.

My copy has arrived in Alaska!

I really dont think people now what acting is...
she's not over acting at all. Its a music a video.
Love it.

She looks so young in the image in the middle!

if she can be so calm after falling to the sea...then i believe she can swim...

the second one is simply amazing

i love all those pictures!
ayumi you are amazing!!
give me my singles! lol

those images are stunning!

and seriously, since I've been an ayu fan (the year 2000), a CD release has NEVER, at this point, not leaked yet. Wtf is going on?! lol

It's on jps now though.

ALSO -- I KNOW it's in the first post, but could someone please confirm the actual tracklisting for both discs?

ayu's official site and CDJ have Disc N starting with HANABI, HANABI ~episode II~, Far away...

But for whatever reason, the torrent I just got on JPS has disc N starting with HANABI, Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~, monochrome...

so is JPS just mistaken? Just a little confusing.

How is the remastering?

lol she looks like a member of AKB! so young oh lord :shakehead :luv2

We're not sure yet, because apparently the torrent posted on JPS is not a real CD rip. The FLAC is real though, so it should be up soon in mp3 format.

Yeah...i want to download it at Jpopsuki, but not sure it's real cd rip or not...

^^Looks like the mp3s are not real, but the FLAC is real. Someone just uploaded the FLAC in the downloads section now.

AyuGame, yes she CAN swim :D starting at 5:10

My copy was shipped today!!!YAY!!I was to change my 2CD order for a 2CD+DVD one but...it is already shipped u____________u

Was I the only one hoping for a hot dance routine in the You & Me PV?

She just tweeted the answer to disc N and it is for Natsuki

yes! Ayu said N is Natsuki and A is Ayu!

Who is Natsuki?

^ it's ayu's bestfriend, this is her twitter https://twitter.com/Natsukikey

woah that's nice..probably because natsuki has NATSU summer so it fits to the summer album haha~~

im surprised that until now we still havent got the DVDrip for You & Me PV O.o

she looks cute in those pics, but that stomach aint pretty looking. she needs to eat.

ASB sold out in Tsutaya, someone tweeted about it to Ayu

She's so cute in the middle photo!!!

Wow, sounds good o.o
Semms japanese really have a splen on the word "BEST" xD

Really? I was there today,they only had samples... I thought it wouldn't be released until tomorrow anyway?

i wonder why they are releasing it 8.8...
I thought new releases where on tuesdays??

But cool that it sold out... or bad.. the fact that avex is only doing small amounts to mkae t look like a huge seller??

^

someone tweeted that to her,i dont know

it's always on Wednesday

photo of TA gift


2CD+DVD + cooler bag

For"A"ver Club

I so want that Cooler bag *_*

a summer best sold out??
http://i.imgur.com/PP9x5.jpg

edit; sorry, didn't see it was already said >.<

That can either be good or bad xD Didn't GUILTY also sell out or something? Or was it PQ??


Anyway, I hope she slays tomorrow!!!!!!

OMG sold out?

Sold out? I wonder what that means for sales. And yay! My copy has arrived! Will be picking it up from the FedEx hold location ASAP!

What songs did they remaster?

OMG..The booklet pics are GORGEOUS...GEEEZZ..
ALL OF THEM LOOK SO GORGEOUS!!!
I don't understand why she chose the weird pic for the 2CD Cover!~ >.<

The only one Ive noticed so far is AUDIENCE it sounds so much better imo it doesnt sound as rough i guess u could say..

^I think I still need to wait for my copy, or an actual proven 320kbps rip, I don't really hear any difference

All songs are re-mastered.

omg sold out!? When did it last happen with an ayu release??

That's quite good because it sells more than what they thought would be demanded - bad because sales will be slow because there are no copies left until a lot of new ones will be shipped lol.

compared to the one I ripped from my Duty album theres a big difference

edit: wish they would of done more than remastering some songs have been done many times and you cant really hear any difference.

Of course Ayu can swim, Ayu is a mermaid...she fell into the sea when she was a child.

I was waiting for Maro and ayu to kiss. And there you go...

I believe Party Queen Special edition sold out last..
this could be a good thing, or the fact that no a lot of people ordered thinking it wasnt going to sell very well?

Well I think that all editions sold out in a store for a day is way better than selling out 10,000 or around limited copies edition in general. =D

Got my copy today. The You & Me remix is not too impressive and I don't think you can download it as a song file from Ayu's official facebook. Granted, I am not super computer smart nor do I speak/read Japanese. Can't wait for some sales numbers!

You & Me... remix? What do you mean?
Maybe I missed something...

^ A serial card of some sort comes with the 2CD edition that leads you to the remix.

The bonuses for this release are the You & Me making of for the CD+DVD (via streaming on the Facebook) and You & Me remix (via download on Facebook).

Even if the You & Me remix isn't impressive, it's like... I know it exists and I must have it. XD

Omg it's release day! Although it's raining ******* hard here I'm getting this summer release lol. Now Ayu slay :lech

AWW!!
I want to be in japan and buy it in a store... (although its sold out!)

Good luck today ASB!!!

Excited for the official numbers! Hope my copy from YA will arrive soon

oh that's right it's released already

Good luck Ayu!! Go snatch that number 1 wig!!

just got my email!!!
They sent it!!
YAY!!!

it's really weird...You & Me not released as chaku-uta yet...it's kinda late...

so.. maybe one of you who got their copies already can upload the album in 320kbps? please.

Maybe they're pushing people to get the physical thing first? :P

^i think chaku-uta is different from physical single, as long as they aren't release it as chaku-uta full...it still push people to buy physical single...chaku-uta is good to promote the physical single as well...

it's too weird..

Bought my 2CD+DVD version from TSUTAYA in Shibuya about 30 min ago! =)
