^ our tastes are quite similar in matter of ballads haha
I would just add You were... instead of forgiveness and this CD is all I need for winters until my death haha

Wondering if a single PV can justify me spending 15,000¥+ on an album I own 98% of the content already...


Anyway, as a profesional clown, haven’t lost my hopes yet. On the YouTube description of the latest video it clearly states the CDs will contain 31 songs total, and the DVD 29 tracks. But it doesn’t specify anything on the 2nd one, so yeah still hoping some kind of making of or whatever is added.

Also, the no inclusion of Pray for you is weird af. Is a new album on the way? Would she troll us again like she did with You & Me and include Haru yo koi (and it’s Pv) on it, making our purchases go to waste?

WE SUCCESSFULLY MANIFESTED HARU YO, KOI! Tracklist looks great overall, happy walking proud made it.

Insanes 6th March 2021 05:36 PM

O-M-G
I was not expecting this AT ALL for haru yo koi.

I am so happy right now.

Wow, what a suprise. Maybe she's following this forum :D

AndyF 6th March 2021 05:58 PM

What a surprise! After all this time... No one was expecting it. I'm really glad she has surprised us. And the nice thing is that Pray For You might come in a new release (maybe an album?).

Holy shhhh

When i was watching the vid and saw the cover of the original A BALLADS, i thought it was going to be for sotsugyou shashin, but when i heard "haru yoooo" i was like "oooooh". I knew this place would be shrieking after that lol She sounds so good :luv2 can't wait to watch the whole thing.

Lol I was shouting in my room because I knew the forum would be imploding. I wasn’t one who was dying for a studio version of this song (don’t get me wrong though I’m happy she delivered), but I was so excited to come to the forum and read everyone’s reactions. Lol.

I'M OBSESSED. Love it so much, it looks amazing. I mean, she's an all grown up ayu, gorgeous

pedronekoi 6th March 2021 06:46 PM

She gave me all the nutrients, vitamins, suplements and oxygen I was needing. I'm alive again.

SURREAL__RAINBOW 6th March 2021 06:57 PM

Ahhh the dancers did so well too! Every time I rewatch I find something good about it lol

Lyssayu 6th March 2021 06:58 PM

So there are no songs from sixxxxxx or Colours that made the cut... interesting. Would've liked to see Pray instead of untitled ~ for her ~

I wish Sweet scar, Shape of love, Pray and Last minute had been added. :-/

I'm interested to see the DVD tracklist, it seems like 6 tracks for a bonus disc is a little lacking...

koumori 6th March 2021 07:35 PM

Ayu posted the TA blog she mentioned last week about the creative process behind this cover version of Haru yo koi. She also spoke openly about her current career and her thoughts on "Ayumi Hamasaki". I've posted a rough/auto translation here along with the full original Japanese.

kotora 6th March 2021 07:50 PM

where is Pray for you going?

I am going to exit this chat..

Deep snow 6th March 2021 07:51 PM

another thing I noticed after watching the preview with my good headphones: 春よ、来い sounds so crisp. I hope the actual mastering is great.

Interestingly, SAKURA , untitled for her is in this album.

Two songs about someone's death and her reflection.
I assumed Last minute would be in this album too because it is a very personal song..

mi|kshake 6th March 2021 08:50 PM

Just listening to the original A Ballads and I love the final few seconds of M!

I made a spreadsheet a while back of the 30 songs I wanted to be included on this album along with the ones I assumed would be on there regardless (Ohia no Ki, Pray For You) and got 15/30. Quite happy with that lol.

Still can't believe we're getting Haru no Koi! I'm in love with the choreography and ever since someone mentioned it on the Discord, obssessed with the idea of a live performance of Haru no Koi followed by Will.

Also chuffed I'm on holiday next week so I can watch the PV immediately when it's released!
