It better be... AYU PLEASE.

I mean, it's not like there was THAT much room for discussion when Ayu released ALL the tracks beforehand through her shows or as a digital single.

But granted, I still rank Colours as my #1 Ayu album. A ONE doesn't have me excited but I am excited to look at the album booklet.

Digest of her promotion for this album

photos from WARNING shooting

warning! 18+ content :)

What exactly is "18+" about this? I understand using NSFW but "18+" seems more like a judgement. :/

I really like Warning as a song, its fierce and powerful. But I don't like the pv. Still, I'm glad that fans are so excited for this release.

I need subtitles for what she is saying in the video!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. having subtitles would be great! Ayu seems to be a reeeeeeally funny person, 'cause everyone laughs almost every time she says a word xD
Also, I'm curious about what she said about the songs, specially The Show Must Go On.

Exactly. She said something about TSMGO and Utada Hikaru. I'm really curious. She still has plenty of fans in Japan it seems.

I don't think she is in the level of having fans, but she already in the level on having worshippers or die-hard fans.

and i believe almost all japanese respect her.

well from what we have so far, i have to say i enjoy The Gift the most. Warrning is fierce and awesome, but surprisingly it didn't made me go nuts. Which is weird. The videos are definitely 10000 times better than what we had on that mistake called "Colours" lol

So this whole album is really getting surprising for me, cuz i'm liking the songs that i though won't do much for me and actually not feeling anything specially awesome from the ones i expected to be blown away with with an exception of Last Minute. It's just a start, though. Need the rest of the album to make a conclusion but it's a really weird experience.lol

Hey everyone first post, been lurking the forums for a while now. I'm really looking forward to this new album. Does anyone else think there is a possibility of this album selling more than Colours? I mean the single did a lot better digitally than FTL/MGR and the physical sales were about the same. Plus she got a lot of positive exposure with MOWY
and she did her promo events. I have a feeling that this will do better.

I recently lurked the old Love again tracklist reveal cover and AHS hasn't had a real meltdown in like... 2 years? Is this a new record?
I don't think there has been any widespread melting down due to this album.

So Uh... A friend of mine brought up a good question. Where's Timmy? He is still in the troupe, right?

I suppose he is there. Saw him in pictures from one of recent radio interviews.

There was a mini-meltdown when avex announced the tracklist for Colours which just ended up being every single song that was released prior with no other new tracks or interludes/intros (the interlude/intro debate was fucking hilarious lmao). But yeah, I remember the days of the LOVE again meltdown.

Wow I really missed something there lol
I'm looking at old album release threads and even though I wasn't here for most of them they're somehow nostalgic. I kinda wish I was pumped for this album but I haven't hopped aboard the hype train. Maybe next album. The sole single for this album did nothing for me.

What was with the LOVE again meltdown? We kind of forgot how it turned out to be...

Hey everyone, first post on here, been lurking the forums for a while now and decided to sign up ^^ Anyways, does anyone else think that this album might sell more than Colours? Because the single did a lot better digitally than FTL/MGR and physical sales were almost the same. Plus she actually did some promo and got some positive exposure with the MOWY cover + way better PVs. Idk I have a good feeling about this.

People just said it was shady and lazy of Ayu to release LOVE again after starting a fun 5-month release project. It really set the fanbase apart because most didn't give a shit but most were passionate about how lazy Ayu was for releasing Love songs pt. 2 after such a sudden and different release in regards to Party Queen. That, and releasing glorified singles as mini-albums (LOVE and again).
