Thank you!! ^^ I love your T.shirt, I want another one for me T__T xDDD

Oh! I like this design of the website more than the other, and yaiii, cm will be up soon!! (because of the small window xD)

google is your friend :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_st...pular_music%29

As jiarongisme said, it's before the last chorus. It can also be refereed to as the "Middle eight" cause it's usually the middle eight measures of the song or so.

@yabieru i have tons of ayu goods. :P still, glad u like.

and hey jiarongisme! Just been running into lots of familiar faces here. :P

omg the new new layout is so cool <3 so much better then before <3

The CM must be coming soon :D

oh and they added her youtube! I hope they update that for a Rock 'n' Roll Circus theme soon :D

wow, now i kinda understand why Sexy Little Things PV is put before Microphone in the DVD tracklist.

so they are in order right?

^thats my guess too.

wow.avex change the layout again

the SLT PV looks crazy!! i recognize the dress from microphone's PV :P that red dress looks crazy as well. i really do wonder how this PV will turn out. hope we get the preview soon!

They changed it again...? Didn't look any different when i checked this morning.

Once I'm finished learning Japanese, both speak and write/read, I'm moving there. :D

Also, I really need to learn more about music.

I love the layout!!

right now, out of all we heard about sexy little things, I think it's more Ladies Night than anything else.

I'm still curious about "Jump!"... ever since i saw that title all i can think of is ELT's old song of same title.

I know right?
It bugs me how the right side is solid yet for some reason, the left side is brushed out and "faded" :no

But it's good that they've included the CM window.
Any day now and all our curiosities will be fulfilled :cool

uhmmm too red... XD I mean.. plain red... I miss some kind of texture or effect...

the CM box isn't in TA, and usually the CM appears first in TA... I wonder when they will upload it...

And I don't know ahy they midn having the website in english! they don't update it since...may 2008 LOL

and LOL I just noticed I have "ayu" as friend in youtube... LOL they saw I have clips of TA website?? LOL

The Sexy little things music video looks like it may end up being my favorite thing... ever... in the whole world.

I was also wondering when she'll announce the R'n'RC 2010 Tour Goods. Should be pretty soon. I want to get some. Especially the tshirts.

^Nothing will pwn the Future Classics t-shirts. I was so peeved when they got announced right after I bought a NEXT LEVEL one. I never though the FC goods would be cooler since the logo was so hideous... That's what I get for not waiting. xD

the CM will compensate for the faded thing! :rolleyes

HAHA! good for you.but u saw the Vivi pics im sure...thre's just..some added scenes hahaha..no worries

it better be. EnergizE wasnt BAD, but the style of the music it took seemed really holllow and empty..(and the verses are too cute)

if SLT becomes a cute song (nooo please be Ladies Night-ish..), it'll fit well transitting from Lady Dynamite to Sunrise (garh, i LOVE how Ayu always does it superb when she makes her tracklist flow)
it might really be for the bunny outfit...and if that's a tour outfit omg..i'll die

and I LOVE THE NEW LAYOUt!!! so glad the font's changed

I also have a feeling that it will kinda be like ladies night too...the song was kinda cute and the pv was weird...but I hope sexy little things will have some rock element in it to fit the pv.

Very surprised count down is a full song! I'm guessing THE introduction, montage, and meaning of love will be interludes?

Ladies Night >>>>>>> EnergizE?

I think so.

I got the stuff from both concerts in my closet. :P

$40 for t-shirts and $50 for zip-ups. Haha... I can't throw that kind of cash around. :dead2

yeah i understand most people cant. but i also have a bunch of other stuff including keychains, cellphone straps, the ayupan music box, towels etc.

But those were like back-stage/from the side... those screencaps are from the real PV and how i's gonna be like... of course I remember there's the Microphone dress again, and some red and white/balck with white hair outfits... but don't wanna see how the final product looks hehehe

Btw... does she has some kind of fetish with white wigs or sth?? Microphone PV/SLT PV/bunny shots in TA LOL

^wasnt she also wearing one in alterna pv?

quite simply, you have everything any jpop fan would want. :)
you should post your awesome video of your apartment tour!

Just to note it here too since the Sexy little things PV stuff was in here as well:

I guess we know now that the models were hired to wear all of these designer fashions! Love them!

@oneheart Actually, I've greatly updated and moved some stuff around. Once a few more of my things arrive I'm gonna redo that.

^yay~

that's some pretty out there fashion!

^i think the black one looks like shes trying to be some sorta large bird... i really dont like any of it.

Also, i dont think you'll quite believe ur eyes when u see the changes and add ons i've made. :P

hahahaha I think the same hahahaha.

It's like a big crow.

what really? there was so much stuff! I can't believe you could make your room anymore awesome!

question. will microphone be considered the sexy rock song of this album? following the trend of identity, 1 love...etc?

^but theres been more than one rock song in some albums of hers.

Also, that middle one of the fashion stuff reminds me of something the Power Rangers might've fought in the old episodes i used to like as a kid. *starts humming theme song*

I don't think Microphone is giving an image of sexiness

^I think Lady Dynamite will suit that category.
Microphone feels like it's the talkin' 2 myself of the album..

anyway, wow at the fashion...and u shud really put that in spoilers HAHAH

3 MORE WEDNESDAYS EXACTLY

second outfit is FIERCE !!!

No way, although, identity wasn't the sexy rock song from NEXT LEVEL, LOVE 'n' HATE was =/.

Microphone is the talkin' 2 myself/Rule of this album imo

I hope we get previews of even more songs soon.

@2nd Fashion Pic: *singing* Go Go Power Rangers!! :P

oh count down is a rock ballad? theres a lot of rock on this album! i love it :D

^So which tracks do we not we know anything about yet?

THE introduction, montage, Jump! and meaning of Love are th eonly ones we don't know whether there are full songs or not.

Singles
Sunrise
Sunset
You were...
BALLAD
RED LINE

Confirmed full new songs+Reasons
Microphone (PV)
Sexy little things (PV)
Don't look back (PV)
Lady Dynamite (PV)
Last Links (tie-in)
count down (chaku-uta)

unconfirmed interlude/full songs
THE introduction (given Ayu's pattern, very likely not afull song)
montage (imo, depends on if Dlb is a ballad or not)
Jump! (see above)
meaning of Love (between Sunrise and You were..., imo, it has to be an interlude)

that makes more sense than what i said! :P

I always thought identity sounded sexier than LOVE 'n' HATE...i have a weird way of categorizing songs in my head I guess!

teth/tethevo has posted mic-recorded previews of the new songs.

^ THANK YOU!


Ah, this thread moves fast @_@

countdown is a full song. rock ballad. wow :heart

^gonna wait. recently got passed a bad virus problem and dont wanna risk again.

Listening to the ULQ Lady Dynamite.. Wow I like what Im hearing@@@!


and SLT is definitely very unique!!!

wow.nice!downloading now!hopefully it won't disappoint me

Aww, I was really hoping Lady Dynamite would be a Sparkle-type song. It's nice, but definitely not what I was hoping for.

And wow. SLT is pretty...cute. I honestly have no clue how this type of song could be connected to Microphone.

Wow, I LOVE what I'm hearing. I was initially iffy with LD, but it ended up being quite catchy. count down is gorgeous in my opinion, although I wouldn't be surprised if people hated it. Although thinking about it, count down could totally work as an anime ending song. :S I just pray that count down doesn't get a dumb dress during the tour.

...and for SLT...

HOLY ****! <3 I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AYU! IT'S LIKE SHIINA RINGO SPOKE TO HER AND GAVE HER THIS MIRACLE OF GREAT WEIRD/CUTENESS (again, imo).

The LQ Lady Dynamite didnt really impress me but I'm still excited to hear it full and in HQ
I really think I'm going to love SLT though (and i can see why they said it was swing..it does give off that vibe to me, just not a full on swing song) and I'm really excited to see how this song is gonna go with the MV!
Count down sounds really good, overall these previews made me 1831280931x more excited for this cd, the anticipation is killing me! :D

thank you truehappiness for posting the download links :)

I thought countdown will be the interlude. But it seems like it's a song anyway. I love it!!

so far:

Sexy Little Things - sound AMAZINGLY catchy. It's the cute song i like, lol
count down - kinda boring melody, but i can hear that in HQ there will be some nice guitar riffs (but i feel i will like it in the end)
Lady Dynamite - boring so far. (too fast, not melodical vocals)

WOW @ sexy little things!!!! can't believe what I'm hearing!!!

can't wait! =D

SLT IS AMAZING LOL, it's so cute and weird.. and Lady Dynamite is catchy as hell..
count down also sounds really, really different for an ayu ballad.. I need these in HQ though to judge more but omg, my favorite is SLT so far

lol...why subject urself to LQ previews when u have the mindset that u wont be impressed by it?

slt is good. like really good. it's like 50s meets electro~

What if there is a chance I actually am impressed by them ~ :luv2

This album is the second coming of (m)u without GEO, haha.

Sexy little things is AMAZING. HER VOICE IS SO CUTE HAHAHA

-dances around to it-

But I didn't download count down.. Wanna reserve it for later ~~

OMG...Sexy little things is sooooo terrible...I can't believe what I hear...I really was hoping for a Song like HONEY or ANGELS SONG, Replace....where are those cute HAL Songs?????

Lady Dynamite sounds boring at this moment, but at least I can hear a bit Electro out of it.

The only Song I really like is count down, it sound like avery catchy Rock Ballad...

I'm really dissappointed now, I had very high hopes for Lady Dynamite and Sexy little things from what i saw on those PV pics...
I'll judge it again when I hear them in HQ but for now I'm kinda sad...

Lady Dynamite and Sexy Little Things are really something new and unique. She's really trying new things. But I really have no idea how can she act like a rocker in the PV coz the song isn't that...rockish at all. But I don't really like count down from what I listened

Sexy little things = AMAZING.
count down is a soulful rock ballad about her hearing issues... AMAZING/STUNNING/GORGEOUS..
Lady Dynamite is FIERCE.

Yeah, uh... whatever Ayu's on, I want some.

:yes:yes:yes

I love SLT...:luv2:luv2:luv2

Sexy little things is AMAZING. Like I had rock bottom hopes after hearing it was cutie but it's so... new and fresh...

actually, as a song musically it's pretty bad, but like... it's one of those songs that's so bad you're like "THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER." I can't explain right, but omg it's amazing and horrible at the same time <3

trying to resist the other two, but I probably won't :D

Haha I know SLT will again cause two extremes like this.

im really lovin Countdown a lot. Last dynamite is a song i have to get use to, as well as SLT (which reminds me of ladies Night). now i want to hear Dont Look Back! ^o^

These are epic. Epic. EPIC!!! I am going with what truehappiness said - it's like the second coming of m(u) - and thank goodness!!!

hmm I need HQ of all this songs so far im going nuts with anticipation!

Just listened to a little bit of LD and I was like "what is this"... But it's already stuck in my head xD

Lady Dynamite= sounds kind of similar to BAD COMMUNICATION :P
countdown= Am I the only one that got a Kumi vibe out of it? :laugh
Sexy little things= WOW! It's so much love! :D

If anything, count down is CLASSIC AYU ROCK for me, haha.

Super dramatic arrangement with heartstring-pulling lyrics... check. Memorial address pt.2/3/4/whatever? Haha.

^To me, it sounds a little bit like flower. :P But that's just me. :D

sexy little things and Lady Dynamite is really different! I like them so far. sexy little things reminds me of YMCK songs. count down is not bad.

Sexy Little Things - LOVE!!!!!!!!!Sounds original, weird but 4 me is better than Microphone

Lady Dynamite - Ok, but she can did this better

count down - mmmm boring

I've decided to resist the new previews~~~ but very glad to read many positive comments about the songs xD

I think that the sense that this album = a circus is that there's something for everyone, no matter how old/young/bitter/weird/lame/idiotic/sexy/fat/skinny/whatever you are...

That's the conclusion I've come to, haha.

im loving sexy little things, OMG im gonna have this song stuck in my head all day!

SLT reminds me of Pink Panther or some cartoons XDD

SLT is 100% double-time swing/20's Chicago jazz with an electro edge. It is awesome!! count down really reminds me of the m(u)/Secret-era rock ballads (yeah!!)

Lady Dynamite....I need to hear the whole song, but I love the drums (is Nobuo drumming on this album?)

gosh i dont wanna listen xD

I wanna wait but i dunno if i can u.u



glad to see that many people like the sound of them :yes

That's how I've always felt about Ayu's music! :love

haha, yes it will i think, maybe i will get used to it when i hear it more often and then in HQ but for now, i hate it*g*

where is HAAAAAAAAL???????

2:34 in count down is the part that makes me not be able to find a ballad in her discography that sounds like it.. it sounds so cool/different. She's really getting experimental with this album, I love it.

that part really stood out to me too! :love
its sounds like scratching (like DJ-ing) to me..I dont know, maybe its just me :P

i decide not to listen to the preview :P

count down is my fav so far of the 3, but I like the other two! I wanna see the PVs :yes

And I'm only listening to the first verse and chorus, no bridge or final chorus for me until the album!

count down just gave me the chills, man... It's so gritty.

Lady Dynamite reminds me of 70's rock song, the beat is really funky though, maybe a little hip-hop? Actually, it reminds me of B'z. Super catchy.

Sexy little things is like.. woah. She's so versatile!

I won't listen to the previews... Must wait for my copy to come.

Bringing up the translations that maikaru did (http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=444) :
cd:
I can hear something in the distance,
Soon now,
The end will begin.
I'll continue taking in everything directly.
I don't need any sympathy for my
Left side.


LD:
This is wrong, but will you shut up?
I can't hear our voices.
What happened? If you really wanna talk,
Surrounded by about-faced BOUYA-tachi (bouya = boys?)

Slt:
To think that
Woman don't know anything,
And they are always alone, uneasy,
And always nodding their heads
That is a really big mistake.
But, you are in the palm of my hand
Uuuuu, Yaaay!

count down's strength is definitely in the lyrics.

I LOVE count down!! the other two, well, I need to listen to the complete songs first before I can give a real opinion of what I think.

I'm not the only one that caught the B'z influence! :D (Seriously though, it's like... Sparkle meets BAD COMMUNICATION! <33)

SLT... is so much fun!! so different i love it!
count down... OMG this gave me chills!! <333
Lady Dynamite... interesting. need to hear HQ though.

that part is so amazing & haunting!!

BOUYA means kids

I thought bouya in Japanese translated as slang for boys or something a la BOYStachi...

OMGoodness! *_*

SLT is so FUN! xD
I'm lovin' count down! min 1:10 - 1:16 <3<3<3<3!!
Hmmm.... LD... D: need a better quality... but tit sounds great too!

Oh My! *__*

wow all three are so different!!
I like all 3 so far.... I won't listen again until I get my CD but I really love the arrangements of all three... the melodies need to grow on me
sexy little things is very catchy though!! It's so funny!! It reminds me of that Triplets of Belleville song... lol
Lady Dynamite is very powerful and count down is interesting but doesn't grab me right away...
this is a very interesting album so far!

True true :yes Gonna wait for the full song instead.

:(
