About what was expected give or take a minute or two.

I am pretty sure this is for one of the PVs. The one with the acrobats. Angel, perhaps? Probably rehearsal or something. If this is Angel, the filming schedule was probably XOXO -> Angel -> Lelio.

Wow. This is quite something hahaha

What is forever love's piano (the beginning part) sounds like a dance hit from the 90s... if only I could remember the song's name

Doesn't that look really similar to Love songs location? I'm sure it could be completely different though haha, I'm just commenting from memory :P

It looks really interesting! Can't wait to see the final product.

I thought of the Missing PV right away with all the acrobatic performers/dancers swinging around in the sky haha :)

It just came to my mind: Ayu might go the Lady Gaga way and decides to shot a long video and put every song on it. >_>

I think i should get some rest... *leaves*

I don't think so, they would call it Lelio-Terminal-Angel or something of that sort.
They can just make continues individual PVs (like NaNaNa and Shake It/Sexy little things and Microphone, Love song & Last angel & Virgin Road, Wake me up & Snowy kiss & You & Me etc.).

but she has never had an album title identical to a single released prior to the new album (unless you count LOVE again from LOVE + again).

i still have my hope on "New Ground".

Or LOVEppears (with LOVE ~Destiny~ and appears single released on the same day as the album lol).
So technically she named 2 albums after 2 singles each.

Hello new PREY :eviltongu is the new album name...

As someone said, I don't see why she wouldn't announce the title if it was Feel the love

I still hope the title song is yet to be announced, hence why the album still doesn't have a title!

As for the showcase name, well she needed a name didn't she? And she couldn't really spoil the album name for us.

Maybe the album will be called PREMIUM ALBUM

The music sounds promising, though it's difficult to see the big picture yet based on leaks of varying quality that I listened to in random order. But now I'm excited about the album. Party Queen and Love Again didn't leave much of an impression, this one seems like it's going to be better.

Maybe it will just be "PREMIUM".

I wouldn't even mind that title tbh.

I would love that tile *-* and I think it is not impossible!!

Connected is more mellow trance-y rather than full on dance or dub kinda stuff. That's why it's different.


Anyways. Yey for the new songs. I even like what is forever love despite the fact that it's generic. It's pretty. I wish it wasn't a collab, but meh. Officially waiting for the album.

the title could be "forever LOVE" X.X

What is forever love was meant to be a collab song though since they answer each other line to line.

The album is probably gonna be called "Hello new me" let's be very serious

New me would be ok

New Me sounds so dull... What about ANGELS? Terminal's about that, and there's a song called Angel.

Self titled or something about "a new me" seems likeliest.

"Terminal" as album title would be hilarious and fantastic at the same time in case she's intending to go on hiatus after that release.

"This Is The One: I collabed with a ton of DJ's for y'all even though I myself don't like remixes and probably won't perform half of these, am I relevant again? I hope this sells well"

No question about it.

Is that referring to Ayu? It seems to me like she's been warming up to remixes lately since she's been sticking them in her tours/concerts a lot more since around 2012. (basically the year of You & Me)

Gaga way? Ayu did it before with vogue-Far away-SEASONS

Oh god what if she names the album You&Me??

ELECTROVE (love, get it, roveeee? RAAAAF? haha, i can't be funny... i tried.)

new album is "Mannie Maro.. Hello new me"

I wouldn't mind an album named AYUMI lol.

^ That just reminds me how bitter I am that we never got a track called MY STORY. :no

^ I'm just the opposite, because I think that that title is so special and unique that a song would take off its autenticy..

What Is Forever Prey The Love

gurl your bitterness is showing. lol #getagrip

Angel, Terminal and What Is Forever Love are my favorites so far.

New album title:

A.H.!

or

H.A.!

It's simple, and it's cool...

Jokingly I said the album may be called Feel The Love, you never know though. But realistly, I believe it'll possibly be called Hello New Me or some sort of love theme.

I know, i was talking about her making a no-sense 14min long video.

I don't think Gaga's videos are senseless, but I do think that she's kinda over the top, and that she tries so hard to be creative and original, the idea is lost when she tries to convey it in a music video.

I don't want ayu making a really long video because it's hard to keep interest in them, but if they were connected/that'd be cool.

I like most of her videos, Bad Romance gotta be one of the best music videos EVER, but the one she made for G.U.Y. is just so messy and over to the top, what was the point of puting Venus and ARTPOP for just 1 minute or so? Even for G.U.Y. itself it had nothing to do with the music (at least on my point of view).

All titles suggested till now sound really awful to me, I just hope she surprises us with a another track last minute that gives title to the album.
I'm praying.

my name's WOMEN

^
How DARE you? lol
my name's WOMEN PV is fantastic!

my name's WOMEN is only 8min long (the song being around 5:30) and Ayu only used the song itself in it.

^I don't care what the album title is. I just care about the content which so far is amazing.

I'd prefer three independent videos.

Vogue far away and seasons were good (IMO) because I think there was a lot of imagery. They were so dark and mysterious. Also, they were new to her discography at that time.

Only two more days until the showcase! I wonder which 2 songs will be on the CD. I think Lelio will be included 'cause it already got radio play. Hopefully it'll include a lyrics sheet, so we'll finally know what the hell she's singing :laugh

It's starting already !!
It means that in two days time, we'll get either two of the three songs we've not had in full yet, or the HQ version of Lelio/WIFL/NOW & 4EVA !

it's Wednesday and no additional news :(
I think it will be revealed just before the concert!

This thread is getting full of spam and irrelevant information.

I don't really care about the album title, I just want the songs to leak at this point.

In ViVi this month, Ayu mentions that her choreographers have worked with Cirque du Soleil and Disney. Ayu will also be doing some stunts it seems.

hey! what is this?
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater

Yea! I would like to know too! I see something about lyrics and new visuals? LOL

edit:
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNzE4MjYzMTky.html
the video says its inspired by No Way To Say
and its a (short) film/trailer about a foreigner in Japan LOL..hmmm

That looks horrible <_<

I want another Tsuki ni Shizumu!

TeamAyu Limited Edition has a special package with a Milena's Boutique aroma candle. The DVD/Blu-ray has "A interview" as a bonus.

TeamAyu gift: beach ball (1 out of 4 random colors)
TeamAyu or mu-mo gift: photo frame

More information and pictures of the candles here.

What? The price is too damn high...

【CD+Blu-ray+Milena's Boutique aroma candle（Plumeria）】
AVZ1-38969/B　11,400円（本体価格）＋税　※ファンクラブ限定盤 / 数量限定生産盤

【CD+DVD+Milena's Boutique aroma candle（Plumeria）】
AVZ1-38968/B　11,000円（本体価格）＋税　※ファンクラブ限定盤 / 数量限定生産盤

We're paying 7,200円 for the candle???

Ohhhh interesting!

Candles in Japan tend to be pretty expensive. They don't really have the candle culture that the US does. Of course cheap candles are available... But in general people don't use them all that much.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...74786817_n.png

OMG HE'S THE NEW CREATIVE DIRECTOR!! IT'S GONNA BE SO COOL I FEEL!!

On the website one candle costs 55$. We pay for the candle and the package. :D

So... 7,200 yen for just one candle??

0.0

I don't use scented candles, and shipping something that delicate from Japan is too big a risk for me. I'm not paying $75 extra for some extras on the DVD that I can't understand without subtitles (or a whole lot of work and patience, anyway).

Yet again avex marketing makes me feel like a stupid second-class gaijin who doesn't matter as much as the Japanese fans! Well done, guys, well done.

I said it on twitter too but I'll say it here - I own an A MODEL cell phone that I can't ever use, and even I think this is a ripoff.

When did Ayu release A MODEL cell phone??

Excited for tomorrow show! Good luck Ayu! and congrats for everyone that can attend her tour this year! Hope it will be super cool!

It just occurred to me. Has fairyland ever been performed on an actual tour? This needs to be done.

yep..in Countdown Live 2005-2006 but in an arena tour I don't really remember.

wow...this sounds amazing....I'm expecting some stylish costumes!

Still think that it's too expensive for a candle and they really need to subtitle the interview. It's like they don't care about oversea fans... Kpop did a good job in this as they had subtitles for their oversea fans...

Anyway, we'll get CD quality of the new songs soon!
I think nagoya will get
・ XOXO
・ Terminal

Osaka will get
・ Angel
・ Lelio

And Tokyo will get
・ What is forever love
・ NOW & 4EVA

No sry I won´t spent 7000+ Yen for a Candle + packaging o.o Maybe if I get it second hand next year in japan but... no.... the interview will sure be available for download so... No ><

Looks like the fanclub DVD/BD will also have the music producer/PV director comments like in A CLIP BOX. I want that but the candle is a bit too much, haha.

can't wait for setlist, costumes etc etc etc!!!

/\ Me too! ><'

I read somewhere it was perfomed on ARENA TOUR 2006, but it ended up being replaced with Born To Be... because of some costume issues, i think.

I think fairyland was definitely swapped out for Born To Be... at AT06. However, I don't think it was actually ever done on the tour, just changed in the months leading up to the tour. The visuals just scream fairyland, yet Born To Be... ended up as the opener.

i remembered Born To Be... was the opener right from the start. the costume for this song used to be an orange one. but the costume went through several changes and became the blood red one we see on DVD =x as for whether was fairyland swapped out? I hv no idea!

well, fairyland was performed on CDL 05 - 06 (not a tour).

I'm not surprised by the prices, I mean, this is Avex we're talking about. A BEST LIVE DVD with the bonus costs 60 bloody euro.
But I'm intrigued by the candles choice, I wonder if they mean something in the theme the new album will have!

Those candles better be made personally by her own hands for me to purchase that lol Crazy! I'm literally just burning hard-earned money.

It's a little odd that they're importing the candles from the US... but these are some pretty famous candles. Oprah, Michelle Obama, and a load of other big names seem to use them. They're also made of soy wax.

https://www.facebook.com/video/video...=2069059044173

You can still buy one! For..... $350 dollars! :laugh http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hamasaki-Ayu...item1c25bfb0e2

What the fuck is that! XD

A piece of history !!!

I couldnt laugh more about the US$70 candle..

I wonder if the 2-track CDs sold at the concerts will include instrumentals/remixes...

they won't, they're only two tracks and they're gonna be album tracks. also, I think they're free, not sold.

For the record, I did not pay nearly that much for mine XD I'm way too much of a deal seeker for that, haha. HOWEVER, shipping batteries from Japan to the US was still a no-no at the time, so it's totally unusable, so eh. You get what you pay for? XD

I wonder if each cd will have its own cover :heart

first day today! cant wait for the setlist,pics of the stage and outfits

TA just updated...someone said that the album might be called "Colors"

/\ I like it, at least is better than "Feel the love" or anything with love in it.

wow that was unexpected and I do hope it's true!

Colors? :eyes

a lot of people were complaining about the "love" themed possible title and now that we probably don't have it, people will complain about "colors"..

#ahsproblems lol

I would love that. Since I imagine this album as very colorful. I hope so lol

The title reminds me of Utada's COLORS.

Maybe the blog text kind of alluded to a color-related title that isn't RAINBOW?

I'd like something like Gradient or a similarish title.

She should call it OMBRE

good one

Some fans were at the venue reaallly early (before noon) to snap some photos.
