For some reason, I thought you were ayu.

^Is it's because I'm rich, old and love dating young white boys?

Just because you refuse to see/admit the concept, doesn't mean it's not there

Nope, it is just the tone of your messages.

It would make more sense if I talked about roads, wings, yeahs and lalalas.

^la la lais* :laugh

It is because you have an obsession for Ayu's ass and Ayu is the one who is most obsessed about her ass (and I can understand why).

This. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

^^^ See? Already failed at ayuming.

^^ I get her as I'm pretty obsessed about my own ass too.

Actually, I'm obessed with asses in general. Ayu's just happens to be the most apropriate for the forum. :B

The cover album on her IG looks rumble now lol she needs that application to make that pic looks good. Or a new administration.

They're gonna do that thing again where they feature fan made twitter headers.
From either the new album or the tour.

Let’s fireup MS Paint

^ looooool. i thought that too.
It's nice they're interacting with fans though.

This is the hashtag to post the pictures? #ayuヘッダー

I really like the dress she is wearing.

Like this dress o much! So clean and ~summerish~

yes! :)

What kind of style does that dress call?

I love it.

I'm kinda into the shoes she's wearing now. I assume they are more from the YELLO brand. I checked them out, and I have to say, the designer seems like she's cool af, and her style is really unique, as is her marketing. I'm happy Ayu supports them.

it's actually top and skirt

Does anyone know what font is used for Trouble? I wanna give it a try xD

The font 'Mont' looks similar to what they have but I am not sure.

Try this site to find it : https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

I have it allready thank you^^
And allready upload my banner, so let´s see what her team will choose^^

^Good luck!

Ayu has uploaded a preview
https://www.instagram.com/p/Blse-jvHoXP/?taken-by=a.you

Interesting. I like it!

Wait. That actually sounds like it could be decent with the vocals.

Ahaha what an absolute tease! I must say the promotion of this song is as amazing as it is weird, between the weird demos, the poetry reading, the posters and now this? I feel almost attached to the song now

I just want to know the name of it already, lol

it sounds good indeed

Super excited for the new song! Sounds good!

I love how she does this clip

I love how she's promoting in a more unique way this time, it's definitely keeping my interest! That clip was adorable and I am loving how her vocals sound!

That tiny preview has me super excited!

Is this short preview not the song that has the 3 arrangement versions on Spotify? The vocals sound like the faded vocals on the most recent arrangement (possibly 3.5 or 3).

^ Yes, it's the first released song.

Poetry reading? Did I miss that?

Supposedly one of the Trendy Angel comedy duo members read the lyrics for the AX Wat song and they stuck it on streaming sites a few days ago. Basically it was two minutes of the lyrics being read by some dude.

jfc the level of trolling right now

I read all these comments about a teaser vid and I'm thinking about something like the I am...CM with song snippets that are just enough to latch onto and give you a little taste

...then I go on Insta and THAT's what y'all are on about?

no

There is a track on Spotify (and I’m guessing on the other platforms she used for the first demos too) of a guy literally just reading out the lyrics for the song!

New twitter banner

http://i63.tinypic.com/2pphlrd.png

Bigger size

^not bad

That negative effect is a good idea. The banner looks good.

I liked yours a lot better.

Same. I don't like this one a bit. Very busy.

I just looked at the others banners on Twitter and I don't understand this choice in particular. Nothing really nice here

I can die in peace now

https://www.instagram.com/p/BlvC44BD9wC/?taken-by=a.you

^ You already know that after 10 secs of... lalalais?

The japanese taste lol i don't get it either....

I hate it when people get like this, like they just can’t fathom how you can judge a song so quickly. I knew I would die over Days the moment I heard 7 seconds of it in shit quality. Really, if you know what you like, you know it when you hear it. I love Ayu’s “la la la la lais”, I love Ayu’s “attitude” tracks, I love when the music cuts out and all emphasis is placed on a single element of the track (in this case, the guitar riff), and I can already feel the energy of the track and sense how the chorus will be reflective of that. If you don’t have that power than I feel sorry for you, but don’t act like those of us who do are foolish when we say we dislike or like a track based off 10 seconds or less of it.

Also, this track is clearly different than the others, which all have the same vibe. Having confirmation that there will be at least one track in then veign of Microphone, 1LOVE, etc already gives hype, and all hope is riding on rich a track to save this release.

I just hope it's not interlude xD

This must be the high energy girl power song she described. I'm gonna love this track. I just know. I'M SO EXCITED

Thank god for that, it does sound like its going to be a cool song.

Not sure about the mysterious demo but it seems like ill at least enjoy this and the Osaka ballad, so nice single overall!

The ones who bash the low quality previews are always the ones saying how much they love it a month after the album was released. Be here for years and it becomes like the changing of the seasons, something that comes around with every ayu pre release :P At least its not about the font on the cover lol.

Zeke has summarized it pretty well (I agree with his opinion about the preview), but I said that because I wanted a rock track in the mini (apart from WatQ) SO I can rest in peace knowing that there is a rock track no matter if I like it or no, no need to be so serious about a post.

Oh I am sorry. I didn't mean to come across as so vile as you are describing me there, Zeke. Those words are really painful to read.

I am here since 2007, so you have seen me around for 11 years. I know I made some mistakes, but as far as I can remember I never try to bully people iirc. Also not by asking questions like 'how do you know you 'rest in peace' after 10 secs'? They may be direct, maybe the way I would answer in my own language makes it sound harsh or bitter in English. While I only try to ask for more out of curiousity. So it hurts me that you tell me this, while the only behaviour I try to show is politeness and shared enthusiasm or trying to get to know more behind a post.

So, Uknow! If you felt attacked, I am sorry. Hopefully you understand my intentions now.
EDIT: Thanks for answering Uknow!

Maybe you've read the post before the edit, I said "no need to be rude" but I changed it to "not need to be so serious" because I knew that was my fault, I read so much into your post lol

At the beginning your post sounded harsh to me, but after thinking about it you didn't do anything wrong and it was only a confusion. No problem and sorry, don't worry.

I understand you did not mean it in that way, but I took it as “you SERIOUSLY got that from such a short preview??” Sorry but I just get fed up with hearing those kind of remarks all the time. It’s like people doubt my own perceptions of what I like and dislike. Don’t tell me it’s too “short” or too “early” to judge - I’m very in tune with my preferences and it doesn’t take a lot for me to know whether something hits on them or whether something is far off from them. (That’s just a general statement regarding the type of comment I thought your statement was mean to to be - sorry to go off on you, lol)

It means a lot to me that we sorted it out. Usually it turns out on a misunderstanding, like this is a misunderstanding as well. Thank you Uknow! & Zeke. for replying! :)

The preview sounds promising. I just hope there is more power in the instrumentals. No cheap synths, please! >_<

I looove that preview! legend!

That's me as well.

Listened the preview so many times today at work, not a single f*ck was given, ayu is always my top priority :laugh sounds good so far!

So now we’ve heard snippets (albeit LQ) of all the new songs...
Let’s all let that sink in. lol

Newアルバム ‘TROUBLE’ のリリース記念として、明日の17:00~18:00の間に、ナント��‼️ 「LINEライブ」と「インスタライブ」の同時生配信が決定❣️❣️ ayu、ティミー @timphilwell ヨンちゃん @yongae_asano そしてプリンセス の4人きりで、初チャレンジとなる歌を精一杯‼️スタジオから生中継でお届けしますm(__) m

絶対見てねーっ✨✨✨

She is previewing the album on Line and Insta? Did I get that, right from my weird google translation?

If it's really a live performance that's really exciting! Will they perform acoustic versions of the songs then?

Before A ONE release ayu also had line live with her dancers. They talked about random things for an hour and at the end was little video with choruses of all songs. So I expect to see something similar this time too

When is it?? I see an hour but not a day

Tomorrow

You know, i am not a fan of sparkly and princessy stuff, especially when ot goes as a duo, but this whole set is probably one of the best costumes she's had. The dress looks absolutelly fantastic on her whatever her hair style is and the sheer fingerless gloves with all the crystals just add to it. Soft nude colour is a great choice for it too.
Her costumes are always so hit or miss to me but every pic in this one makes me gasp. :love

the lalalalais is so ayu.

hopefully the full version will be cool.

輝く未来が、この腐敗の中にもしもあるのなら、君と見てみたい。

こんな願いがまだ許されるなら、なんとかもう少し歩き続けるよ。こんな時代を。

I don't like that preview, it sounds like WARNING 2.0., just more annoying, and I already don't like WARNING.

I'm really hyped for that other song she performed live, it sounded really good.

^^She looks so sad.

lol maybe its just that she has no expression

Why does she look so thin here, but puffier in the FNS performance? Was FNS recorded a while back?

Bloating can come and go overnight in some cases. But someone mentioned that her FNS performance is most likely pre-recorded indeed

New preview has been uploaded on Twitter and instagram.:)

The preview this time is the song sung at the tour finale. Very 'tour end' feeling.

Alright, I may be overreacting but I'm worried about ayu from these last few instagram video uploads. She looks extremely sad, especially in the one with the new tour end song.

Have the lyrics for the tour end song been posted anywhere? I'm curious to know what it's about.

I think i just worry about her in general sometimes. She's a mystery. But in the videos, I feel she may be just trying to go with the emotion of the song.


I guess this is cheaper than promotional videos lol. Kinda sad.

This was roughly transcribed but the lyrics are very much like a TA/fans kind of thing.

^ Thanks! After Google translate, I think I remember reading the translation on the forum somewhere now.

ほんじつ17時より『LINEライブ』『インスタライブ』同時生配信です。音楽の力があなたに届きますよう に。
https://live.line.me/channels/984/upcoming/9016096

I like that they put a countdown for the LINE live. I forget, do you need an account to watch it?

I don't know, but I created one just in case. We can use our Twitter account to create a LINE one.

yes, I think she looks mad instead of sad

or resting bitchy face.

I hope this is the order of the preview

1st preview that ayu walking on the street: æternal
2nd preview that ayu with filter: W
3rd preview on twitter: the last song

I'm feeling the song she sang during POM Final is æternal, this title fits so well with the whole "shining future"-thing in the chorus.

I like her teasers, really a lot. But her vocals in the new songs sound like her shouty-live vocals which worries me.

5 minutes until the LINE live.
--------------
The countdown reset.:nervous
http://i64.tinypic.com/2jb49f.jpg

If it's supposed to be on Instagram too, nothing's showing up there either.

Edit: Realized it's not time yet, I was following the countdown too even though I had already calculated the time lol
