seriously, we get so many acoustic orchestra versions and I have been so happy about that because I LOVE them! we haven't had a trance remix in like 7 years now? I'd prefer a trance album. I can just put all the orchestra versions from the past few years in a playlist and get a whole AO album that way :laugh

I'm going to compile them all and put them as a download in the downloads section.

Maybe it will appease some people. LOL

^lol and I was thinking about doing the same thing.

@ownsarai: u too, are misunderstood, ill leave it at that since I don't feel like elaborating on such typical assumptions.

@Pieces of Seven: yup :yes it nice you realize when I write incorrectly. Ironic
and probably if u could understand my words better and not make imaginary statements there wouldntve been a problem. ;)
Like. Don't do that. Its stupid and just promotes more comments of the sort.

I just don't get where the idea that a AO album is wanted instead of a trance album. Its just wanted as an extra thing, even if it is a compilation (the easier to release)
Did I rant how much I hate trance and want AO instead. Not that I recall.
:rolleyes but okay. Maybe I'm speaking gibberish

Maybe not, but you've certainly ranted enough.
I don't think my 2-3 sentence posts can be considered ranting.

I never said that you said that you wanted an acoustic album over a trance album, I was just giving my opinions on the subject.

My opinions always tend to be strong, that's just me. I got what you were saying, there's no need to call me "special" or anything else. Please just drop it, cause I'm done with this, it's pointless and annoying. End of the day, I can feel and type whatever I want, and so can you. Good day.

Wow...you guys did this? Amazing! I love remix albums! I want an album full of Sparkle remixes~
But, I wonder if any of the new remixes on the singles will end up on the remix albums, similar to the Ayu trance albums sharing a lot of the songs. Also, I hope thanks to the remix demand, that any new single released will continue to have remixes.
Good job guys, maybe I'll get a twitter too...

Sparkle. Acoustic Orchestra Version.


To be honest, I'd be more into another ayu-ro-mix (and I'm happy to see other people who feel the same), but a Trance album with her newer songs could be absolutely amazing. ♥

Wouldn't it be even cooler if inside the jacket it said, "To my international fans" or something?

Edit- I was typing this just before Yumsushi posted! It seems like everyone has Sparkle remixes on the brain. lol! (Also, I wouldn't say no to that Sparkle remix album. I guess it'd be kind of like her singles back in the day, when they had a ton of versions.)

That would be awesome!

Sparkle is overrated. LOL

At first I thought I was the only one who liked Sparkle, because I kept hearing things like, "The video is really gross/stupid!" and stuff, but then all of a sudden I saw it popping up everywhere! Sparkle is one of the few songs my roommate actually likes, and she can pick up on it the second it begins to play, which is really special for me. So maybe that helps my liking it.

At first, I couldn't tell what you were saying would be awesome. "The Sparkle AOV?" lol, but then I realized you were probably talking about the notice to the fans in the booklet.

Yeah...I mean I love Sparkle, but if there are no remixes of it made, I'll be OK. lol

@lividlillies: lol yeah I think Sparkle should just be remixed in every way. Although I might cry if they don't make a trance mix of it. Lol. They just have too T.T
I wonder what one of Rollin' would be like. Its like my fav NL song

I think Rollin' is like my least favorite song on NEXT LEVEL, along with identity. lol so I wouldn't vote for either of those to be remixed :)

It's been lots of years with lots of amazing songs, hope this turns as great as i expect

Can someone translate these? I'm just curious

出来なくはない。むしろおもろいかも。RT @erikayu591226: ただの雨もトランスに入れてくださいね♪ RT @masatomatsuura: Ayu Tranceのリクエスト多いけどどうする？RT @ayu_19980408:

and what's max's reply in this one?

作りますRT @ownsarai: @masatomatsuura @ayu_19980408 AyuTrance 4 ありがとうを作成してください ~ ♪

but the remixes could wind up being better than the originals. I always like seeing what remixes do to some of my least favorite songs. a lot of the time I end up loving them.

um, what? again, it had nothing to do with who the OP is, I was just continuing the discussion...isn't that what we do on forums? smdh :irked

Lol, yeah Sparkle has a massive AHS cult following. Ha ha ha.
But as far as Acoustic Orch. versions go... they are nice and sweet and calming to listen to... But with other remixes/trance, there's so much more variation - there is an endless amount of synthesized sounds to use - you basically can create your own sound! With AOV, you can only compose using violin, and etc.

My bad, I get hostile easily sometimes. Lol...but really, I didn't mean anything by my previous comment, I was just sharing my thought on NEXT LEVEL and the songs I'd want remixed. My apologies.

Rule might sound good...

Not bad at all :)

Looking forward to this

& also

. . .

Maybe an Acoustic one too >_>

those are my favorite ones lol :)

ohhhh genial its very good new

Not too sure about the first one, but I think Max is saying that they're producing/making it in the second one.

Hope we have it for christmas...

OMG how awesome would that be!
Lol trying not to get my hopes up, that's really soon! Who knows though...it's not like ayu has to do anything for it...except shoot a cover, which is simple. Unless they pull some ayu trance 2 shiz on us... and I don't even care if they do because WE'RE GETTING AYU TRANCE 4!!!!!

It could be for Christmas, two months are enough, they just have to mix her voice and shoot a simple cover.Hope we have some kind of official info soon

Honestly, I want another classical album...but not one that is limited to one album...

I know that we always get orchestra pieces...but...they're so standard now compared to what she used to do.


And...Sparkle is <3 Overrated because it's catchy and fun! Thats the best kind of overrated :P

Omg this is going to be amazing!!!!! :)
It will be my first remix album release since i've been an ayuu fan!! :D
Omg im so excited i cant believe it!!! <3

I tried translating them! But my Japanese is not that good, so it might be a little inaccurate, I dunno. But you get the idea~

The first one: (:thud)

We could do that. But that would probably be really weird。RT @erikayu591226: Please make a trance version of "Tada no ame" as well♪ RT @masatomatsuura: There are lots of requests for Ayu Trance, what should we do?RT @ayu_19980408:

Second one:
We'll do it. RT @ownsarai: @masatomatsuura @ayu_19980408 Please make AyuTrance 4, thanks ♪[/QUOTE]

haha, yeah, I thought the first one was someone asking for tada no uta in trance...I'm like, really?

Some fans are so weird

Omg, I so don't want to be a ***** on twitter and bug them...I'm trying my best to resist the urge to spam them: "When will you start recording? Who are you planning to collaborate with? When do you think it'll be out??"

And tons of other stupid questions they most likely won't be able to answer for a good while.

Yeah, I'd refrain from that and just try to be patient. lol
What do you mean by recording? I think they're just going to take acapellas from previous songs and add them to trance mixes done by DJs ... so for all we know, they could start recruiting trance mixers this week!

And how long could it really take to make a track? hehe

Recording = mixing.
Sorry, I'm too dunk to thrink. :shakehead

For some reason, I've had this daydream of a 10 minute long trance mix of rollin' on my mind all day and it. was. epic. lol As much as I love LOVE the original HANABI~episode II~, I wouldn't mind a trance remix of that as well as STEP you, About You, LOVE N HATE, INSPIRE, and Sexy Little Things is the type of track that just begs for a remix.

Thank you! I left them both brief hopes and thank you's for some new remix albums :)

There's so much to mix. I think they could do something very wonderful with fairyland.
STEP you would be fun and I really want my name's WOMEN! I had a dream about a my name's WOMEN trance remix a LOOOONG time ago and a billboard ad for a new AYU TRANCE.

But anyways, idk how they'll go about with trance producers. Maybe it'll be all Japanese trance DJs. Like DJ UTA and OVERHEAD CHAMPION - I would actually kill for OVERHEAD CHAMPION to remix her. Japanese DJs aren't even bad actually, the Carols S.T.F. mix was AMAZING and still is! But of course, I'd prefer international trance superstars.

*cough* Bright Field mix right on the fairyland single */cough*


I now want ayuMETAL btw. for more epicness on all fronts.

^ That mix was BORING!!! It felt reeeeaaaally flat and somewhat effortless. I want something that really brings out the haunting nostalgia of the track. And something WAAY more trance.

So I am taking it that everyone has heard most of DJ AMAYA's mixes? They are very professional sounding.

^you know that ayu + high expectations usually ends in fail, lol. but I don't find that remix very exciting myself so...


I actually took a listen on amaya's remixes as he was constantly mentioned today. not bad but there are some mastering issues as is common with this kind of fanmixes.

I LOVE DJ Amaya's mixes. I'm subscribed to him on youtube, and he never fails to impress. His remixes are more dance/house than they are trance though. With a few exceptions.

OMG and his Days remix...is just out of this world :heart

His earlier stuff was very trance! It's my favorite! Mixes from the A Song For XX album pretty much and they are grand! Recently his style has progressed to more tech-house but the majority was/is trance. You should check those out for sure. from your letter, Hana, etc.

Wow, nice! Good going XD

Good job with stalking! Maybe we can do the same for a new (mini)album... :lech

No, I'm serious. Well done guys! I'm not a huge fan of remixes, but some of them are good. Hopefully she's going to work with good DJ's and other professional remixmakers. I will definitely scream when she's going to give David Guetta or DJ Tiesto (or Ferry Corsten again!!! :luv2) that opportunity. I doubt she will, but well.. I can't wait.

I'm feeling really excited/anxious about this now, I'm hoping that it captures the pure awesomeness that is AT2.

I'd love it if AT4 opened with independent, then breaks into a darker, edgier remix version of the song, then Sparkle, Rule, Microphone, even Curtain Call could be a whole new song given the trance treatment!! #__#

@tourniquet HECK YES! I quite like the Animetal (anime remixed into a metal-type sound) releases although I can't call myself a metal fan. But...Ayu would sound pretty awesome remixed in this style. Even my boyfriend might finally listen to her haha xD

One of my very favorite remixes is AUDIENCE's Darren Tate remix. :heart
I hope there's something as epic as that (in my mind, haha). :)

I would hope there's a fair deal of ballads being remixed.
forgiveness & fated, amongst others, would make great remixes I think :D

You know they could do something really great with Not yet. Make it longer and like a full version but way more bad-ass. :yes I never really totally loved Not yet; it was nice but I know if it was given proper trance re-treatment, it would be super. Especially for the opener?

^ Totally agree :)

Oh, and of the people who have remixed Ayu in the past, how many of them are no longer active?

^ I'm not sure but trance has changed a lot since then and a lot of artist/DJs have grown since then and their styles have progressed. I know Wippenberg has gone more tech-house style with a flair of trance.

I've mentioned this before, but I want Sparkle to be something sexy like this!
Skip to the 3:14 mark to experience the goooooooodness!

Wow I really missed Ayu Trance so much :thud

OMG no kidding, I had this very same idea today (minus the cool title lol). As much as she touches rock, an album of rock/heavy metal remixes would be the next logical step after AO. Great deity of J-pop, please make this happen. :thud

I love all of you Ayu remix fans :love

Anyways, I want this album to be a lot of trance. Her trance impressed me so much when I first listened to it. Trauma "JamX & De Leon's DuMonde remix" is the definition of a trance orgasm. Mostly what appeals to me is that I consider it as "dark trance." Trauma is a nice, mid-tempo song. When I heard the JamX blah blah remix, my opinion on the song turned. It's pretty hard to explain, but maybe I'll make sense to some body :thud

The songs I want to see most remixed is:

fairyland
STEP you
Sparkle <<would make the best trance track EVER
Last Angel
Memorial address
Because of You
kiss o' kill
Sexy little things

ayu-trance 4 will surely have to have more than 2 CDs... or 2 minimum, since it's been ages since we had one! :thud

Is it everything after RAINBOW right?? crazyyyyyy!! is going to be like A BEST 2 of trance xDD hopefully :)



Though anything would feed my already passed away hunger for trance which I buried about 3 years ago XD


I reaaally need trance remixes for:

HANABI ～episode II～
Memorial address
INSPIRE
Ladies Night
alterna
until that Day...
talkin' 2 myself
Marionette
Mirrorcle World
Sparkle
rollin'
GREEN
Rule
Microphone
count down
Don't look back
Lady Dynamite
Sexy little things
MOON
crossroad
Last angel
Virgin Road

:inlove:inlove

Agreed, whenever I listen to it I always think the PV would be something like Ayu making a speech to a huge group of people in the future, kinda Matrix-like. The opening is so epic :luv2

I hope that time Avex will choose really good remixers like in Ayu Trance vol 1. The most famous at the moment are still Above & Beyond, Armin Van buuren but Super 8 & Tab, Arty, Cressida and many more are really tallented !!! I hope they will call them to work for Ayu ;p --the Last Angel will be a bomb !!! --

Yes please. I'm one of those who really disslike trance, like yes, it's the worst. But it's supercool that AHS pulled this of though. That's really awesome.

Yay :D

This is the remix album I've been waiting for!!!

Love. Love. love it!!

Thanks for the great news!!!

Yes!!!! Ayu-trance 4!!!

you guys are so cool. now do the same for a ballads and a classical XD

I'll kill for this album. I love ayu trances. I'm happy that the 4th album's coming up. <3 I'm also happy for ayu-mi-x 7 and ayu-ro mix 4. :)

I wanna pre-order ASAP *--*

The COMBO of A BALLADS + Classical would be awesome too~

Its been such a time since A BALLADS... That would interesting to have a part 2.

And whoever mentioned the idea of like a rock album is a genius. One day in the future this should happen lol. I would be in pure heaven

I really wonder how they're going to go about releasing ayu trance 4. I don't even know what they're doing with the new album thatalready been in progress
I wonder what the covers will turn out like. I really love a lot of the covers for her remix albums. They're just so amazing.

wow it's pretty great!! u guys are the best!! Acoustic Orchestra compilation album is most likely to be released, she has so much orchestrated songs since ayumix 4.

why i never read thos ething on twitter?? yay

I agree! Her remix albums' covers are better than original albums' ones IMO... RMX WORKS are my favorite Ayu's covers ever (counting A BEST)

and I want her on the album cover, not some graphic set... :/

isn't she usually on the cover of her remix albums anyways?

http://eneabba.net/ayu/disco/remixes.htm

looking at all of her remix albums there only seems to be 2 covers that don't have her own them. (just talking about remix albums)

Omg omg omg! Yay! At last!!! I have been waiting for another trance album since I became a fan of Ayu's back in '06 xD!

but talkin about Ayu TRANCE, only one of three had her face on the cover...

Well, she's on both ayu trance 1 and 3 covers. Only exception was ayu trance 2.

^
I don't think #2 really counts since it was pretty much just a non-stop megamix version of #1.

I also want her to appear in the cover with a futuristic style

there are only 3 cyber trance albums. we are hopefully getting a cyber ayu trance 4. of the 3 released, only 1/3 doesn't have her face on the cover, so I think it's safe to say that the next remix album will have her on it. It's not like she has a long history of not having her face on her remix albums.

I bet she'll be on the covers in some new photo shoot. she's even starting to have photo shoots for DVD covers now so I think avex isn't being as lazy with cover related stuff.

Maaaaaaaaaaaan I got so drunk last night dancing to ayu trance and I did my Japanese homework ALL WRONG!!! xD;;;

^I will never forget this quote.

She's doing DVD photosgoots??Where did she say it??

For the last two DVDs, she had a separate photoshoot as opposed to a shot from the concert.

She's never said anything about it though.

I know I'm a little late, but OMG OMG OMG, this is awesome guys, thank you so much for making this happen, you're the best! :D :D :D

wow, thank heavens for the reach something like twitter brings! direct contact to the people that can make something happen. it'd be in their best interest to listen to the fans anyway, lets hope the project works out. I'd imagine it's six months away?

I suppose that's realistic, although I wish it were more like three...lol

speaking about covers. considering the cover for ayu trance 1 is a commercial screencap, I think anything is possible when it comes to covers.

^ haha, i think that cover turned out pretty well xD

Aw, no AO album :(

^^not yet anyway!

:banana1:banana2:banana1

Hahaha at least you had a good time!!!

i agree, my friends really like sparkle and they are not into japanese music

It'll be the tragedy of the century if it doesn't end up on this remix album.

Oh I missed that out I think. I thought everyone loved Sparkle. XD

^ Except for jaded old men. B|

...:'D I've always wanted to say something like that. lol

Sweet, really looking forward to it

HAHAHAHA :roflmao

Sounds like something I would do too!
