I'm glad we have a date now. Haru yo koi was expected to be on this album, but sadly anyway because it makes A Ballads 2 less valuable.

THIS !!!

5 songs are not a lot, I expected 7 new songs after so many years...

I'm quite disappointed that older songs like Dreamed a dream or 23rd Monster will be on this album, since they were released already in 2020/2021.... I expected more new materials after 6years :(

I hoped Ohia and Haru would stay A BALLADS 2 exclusive. I don't mind DaD and 23rd on it, since the other singles are in a similar style too, but Ohia and especially Haru make the ballad best kind of pointless? Especially if you bought it mainly for those two songs. I actually hoped we'd get a pop-rock-electronic album. Well, I guess those songs are important to her.

A Balads 2 remasters are well done and totally worth it. I enjoy Haro yo Koi. But it isn't the sole reason I put those CDs in my player.

Meh……. I just really hope it’s 5 new songs with no intro or interlude…

I kinda wish ohia and haru not in this album…..

And no new mv for new songs? :(

I would expect at least 1 interlude as she always have at least 1 (except Colours... so it could be 5 news tracks, but i have a feeling we will still get in intro)

It is not that far from what we used to get on otehr albums.

Trouble had 3 new songs
LoveAgain had 5
(miss)Understood had 6
A One and Rainbow had 7

I am not counting the interludes and we don't know if the new albums had inetrludes, but I expect an intro.

All songs except Haro yo koi were expected to land on an album (and it would have been a shame if they never did). Right now, we might be greedy for new material, but in a couple of years, it would be a shame to realise that those songs never had a normal physical release (I do not count the bonus single coming as a bonus in the luxury CDL box a normal release)

Very excited for this!!!

Although, definitely didn't need ohia or haru to become part of it, I wanted more new songs, and those to stay as part of A BALLADS 2.

I hope we get strong album tracks

The TA version bonus being the a-nation 2020 show really feels like they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel. She has a whole bunch of full length concert shows they could release…they could’ve released TA Limited 2016 (like Made in Japan), any of the 2018/2019 tours or even 23rd monster tour since the album comes out after the last replacement show… this version definitely does not feel like it’s worth the price.

I'm happy that all the singles make it, but I was hoping for more than "5" new songs

one definitely will be an intro/interlude instrumental

AND I can almost bet that One Night Carnival will also be included

which means there's a possibility that only three genuinely new songs will be included :laugh

ALSO: the website says the (music video) of Dreamed a Dream will be included - my wishful thinking interprets this as the longer, full version of the video we see on YouTube, which is titled (Promotional Clip). I hope I'm right but I probably won't be.

don't give her ideas!!

hahahaha
5 songs left
One Night Carnival
MY ALL(Chinese version)
3 songs left
6 years wating for 3 new unrevealed songs
I cried

Let's not forget the revealed songs are still new songs released since the last album

Wow, there are some old songs on here. That is disappointing.
I hope the new songs are good and there wind up being more rock tracks.
Please just no generic ballads or interludes taking up precious new song slots.

Don't forget, there is also a possibility that she can put TRICKSTAR and Praying for you, which could be 2 full songs or interludes.

LMAO
one new song album coming soon in January
album title
ONLY 1
7 songs
Pray for U
One Night Carnival
+2 interludes+1 new song

a bit bummed at haru yo koi making it onto the tracklist. i'm guessing she really wants her M 2.0 moment 😭 other than that song, i was fully expecting the other 6 to be on this album. i was hoping for a bit more than just 12 songs, but it does seem like shorter albums is something that ayu has been doing more in recent years. on the other hand, 12 songs could work because it's less chance for there to be filler. i'm really hoping there isn't any instrumental tracks on this album, cuz as much as i love ayu intros/interludes, using 1 of the 5 new songs as an instrumental feels a bit wasteful. as for the person who mentioned ONC being on this album, i very much doubt it will be but still...

let's not speak it into existence.

One interlude + 4 new songs.
I expect 13 track with ONC as Bonus Track.

Setlist will be like :

New Song (Interlude)
23rd Monster
Nonfiction
New song
Summer again
New song
haru yo, koi
Ohia no ki
New song
MASK
Dreamed a dream
New song
Bonus track : One Night Carnival

And maybe one last MV to promote this album. Everything could happened

Wait & See...
