new album also means new tour next year... so bye bye HLS

I'm happy she's recording.^^
Probably for a single and maybe also for the next album, they can do the recording now and releasing the album next year, spring or summer.

more works with Timmy too I suppose :D he's English, isn't he?

oh wow.. she told everything about her london visit on Weibo..woah!
so lucky fans!!
a month!!..OMG..

Ayu also said on weibo that she has to go China soon too.

As much as I'd love a new album, i kinda hope its for a single and then a holiday...the woman needs to rest!

But that's what happened with Rock'n'roll Circus. CMJK was in London with her, so it's completely plausible. But I think even if she does record an album here, she'll release one or two of the albums recorded as a single first.

I hope. LOL

she'll probably record quite a number of songs..and maybe release them little by little...or maybe just store it up for a surprise release...ayu's quite unpredictable :P

She's recording stuff for A BEST 3 in time for Christmas. (may or not be true)

Huh? A BEST 3?

Leave it to AHS to speculate and build up stories. In reality, it is a crazy idea for her to be recording an album right now! I will not believe it until it happens, as much as I would love that. It just cannot be true.

Ayu REALLY just likes being on vacation.

She MUST be recording something, or shooting for something though.

And yeah, I really think it will be in time for christmas actually. There's no way Avex would let her go without releasing SOMETHING...

I would be OK with an "A BEST 3" though! :O

Almost five years since the last "BEST" album. She should release two different versions again and on each CD at least one new song and some old songs should be re-recorded.

Now that would be an awesome christmas time if you ask me ^___^

^I don't really see why would anyone wish for a best of album, when we will barely get one-two new songs. If it's a studio album or a new single I am all for it.

I think it's too soon for a new studio album. Even if FIVE was a mini album, it's barely been 3 months since it was released. I hope she is relaxing and that her husband is with her. She needs some vacation time. Wish I could be in London right now to meet her!

OK so as a newbie on this forum and as a person who came to England after Ayu came early 2010:- i'm in a major panic mode here to the extent that the info hasn't sunk in yet S_S

Shouldn't we be planning meeting spots or something already???

Agree. Don't really get do why need a new best album, now.
Anyway as others said, if she's staying in London for a month it will be a recording session + a vacation.

Because seriously, I wouldn't get why she should release an album without any singles before neither :/

Shouldn't we be planning on meeting her from now?? Which reminds me that i have absolutely nothing to give her X[[[[ I should think quick XB
Suggestions anyone??

I actually wouldn't mind it, cause we'd actually get a decent number of new songs for a change...but I don't see it happening either.
