I can't wait for this album! Too bad its after Christmas... Maybe I'll just ask for money this year. XD I'd like to get the first press edition. I'm also excited to hear Bold & Delicious. Such an interesting title its gotta be good. I think Pride will sound something like walking proud or winding road. ^_^ Its kinda hard to know whats true about this album with all the rumors floating around... Any word on the title?

AyuRlz 31st October 2005 06:34 PM

at least we know the date.. but i would be looking forward to dates like 23rd dec where it becomes a christmas present for us. but it has been delayed till next year. oh boy, guess we have to use it as a new year present

Qt Mashi 1st November 2005 09:22 AM

^ yeah i wish it was before christmas~~ it would be sweet if i got it for a christmas prezzie :(

i don't think it got delayed like I am...~

Mad_Cactuar 1st November 2005 09:28 AM

Hopefully if I'm Not Alone turns out to be true, it is a rock song.. I dont want anymore ballads.. Carols and HEAVEN was enough to last for another year.. CLOWNS! This calls for.. NEW SIGGY!

They didn't make any stupid mistakes like fakes usually do. "CARNIVAL" actually sounds like something Ayu would put out too.

Everything seems completely TRUE and POSSIBLE. Plus there are no real mispellings or errors plus they write the titles like Ayu does sometimes like how their all lower case or whatnot. I'm gonna believe this. As much as I HATE the title and the title of the new songs... it's not like she's been good at naming her songs lately so yeah. Disappointed with the names but I'll get use to it like I did with bad titles from "MY STORY" like "Replace" and "Humming 7/4".

What does it say about 12.27 though? Is it released early? Or something? But man this seems SO real. I can't get over it hahaha

So I'm guessing the DVD will be like this:

01. STEP you
02. is this LOVE?
03. fairyland
04. alterna
05. HEAVEN
06. Bold & Delicious
07. Save your dream
08. I'm Not Alone
09. in my pocket
10. Making-Of STEP you
11. Making-Of is this LOVE?
12. Making-Of fairyland
13. Making-Of alterna
14. Making-Of HEAVEN
15. Making-Of Bold & Delicious

and the tracklisting we have so far:

"CARNIVAL" OUT 1.1.2006

01. STEP you
02. is this LOVE?
03. fairyland
04. alterna
05. HEAVEN
06. Will *POSSIBLY*
07. Bold & Delicious
08. Pride
09. Save your dream
10. I'm Not Alone
11. in my pocket
12. NEW TRACK
13. NEW TRACK
14. NEW TRACK
15. NEW TRACK

There's actually NOT ONE mistake I can find on there so far.... it even talks about the 70 pg. Photobook too. My gawd this is the real thing.

I'm Not Alone.... CLOWNS POP OUT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AYU STOP IT WITH THE CLOWNS! I'm having a gut feeling that there's going to be a sequel to "WONDERLAND".


I thot there's already got making of fairyland and HEAVEN ??
So now its in video format ??:no

Qt Mashi 1st November 2005 09:39 AM

^ umm maybe...it's just a rumour so maybe...but i would rather a video format though

Mad_Cactuar 1st November 2005 09:45 AM

Video format would be good..

I was thinking along the same lines as you... that this looks genuine because it mentions the photobook. There's also something about a making of on the DVD for 'in my pocket'...

royle 1st November 2005 07:36 PM

I really want to have the photobook.
Can i order from the Tower Record in my country or Kinokuniya ?
will it be the same then ? how am i supposed to tell them what cd in fact there is not tittle of it?! sighs .. I guess the Code of the cd isnt same with the Japan Tower Record's . Is it ?

If i order from yesasia , how am i gonna to know whether the cds i am order now is the 1st press with photobook or not ... :(

Raleigh 1st November 2005 07:47 PM

^Supposedly Yesasia has firstpress edition next to the album title. I preordered from them and hope that it shall really be available.

How abt they dont ? they just send u the regular version ?

HanabiChick 1st November 2005 09:02 PM

The way yesasia does it is this: they will ship out first press editions until they run out, then they send out regular editions. If they run out of first press before they get to your order, then you'll just get a regular edition. Pre-ordering early is the only way to increase your chances of getting a first press, but it's no guarantee that you'll get one. You'll only know which edition you get when it arrives.

since there's been so many days already.. so i think preorder the oversea version will be better as the chance to get the 1st press editon (oversea version ) will be higher then..

How abt order from local stores ??? can i still get the 1st edition ??

Qt Mashi 2nd November 2005 05:30 AM

^ but..we still not sure yet if overseas version will have the photobook...

fεяnαndδ 2nd November 2005 06:01 AM

Who CARES about the photobook?! I'm only concerned about the content of the disc. :yes

hopeorpain 2nd November 2005 06:12 AM

I care about both photobook and album! Iam just hoping for the os version..since I'll be gone from home when the 1st press is released

:luv2 :luv2 can't wait!!

[taskin.ayu] 2nd November 2005 07:53 AM

The overseas version always has the stuff the first print Japanese version has right? So no need for me to get the first press. 8D

I thought they notified you if they ran out of firstpress? If not I'll cancel it and order it from cdjapan..e.e

Yarumi 2nd November 2005 02:19 PM

lol, so is this rumor true now??? I need to preorder XD XD If not...

But the tracklisting sounds sooo fake! When have you know Ayu to put the tracks on her album like that.... the singles in order with theirother sides follwed behind them??? Seems strange unless this is just a sample track?

They don't. There's details on Ayu's new album page about there being bonus items, and a link to a page with these extra details:

Quote:

Initial Pressing bonus extras are usually available only in limited quantities. Once the initial pressing has sold out, we will begin to send out the regular edition (without initial pressing bonus extras) without any prior notification.
So, you'd only know which edition you'll get when it arrives.

Yukitora 2nd November 2005 02:53 PM

Does anyone know from past experience how long the first press lasts for? Because It's been out for about 2-3 weeks now and I still haven't ordered (I need permission first :()

Raleigh 2nd November 2005 04:34 PM

Thank you Hanabi ^^

Baernash 2nd November 2005 09:08 PM

Interesting isn't it? I think last year ppls was more creatively :mischief

Raleigh 2nd November 2005 10:30 PM

Reminds me of BoA's Shine we Are XD

evolution105 2nd November 2005 10:36 PM

I actually like Shine On More... too bad it aint true

Brittany 3rd November 2005 01:22 AM

Headstrong? :laugh

Coelacanth 3rd November 2005 01:28 AM

I don't believe the 'Shine On More...' rumor at all. 'HEAVEN' sounds ridiculous at Track 3...

And isn't 'headstrong' a song from Trapt?

Qt Mashi 3rd November 2005 02:17 AM

the interludes sound weird...'my hands' and 'my eyes'

jasjasss 3rd November 2005 05:07 AM

rofl ...
hihihi
i prefer Save your dream

TeamAyu 3rd November 2005 06:18 AM

LOL Damn she must be busy filming those clips... and why are they repeated so much. This is beyond fake. I still believe in "CARNIVAL".

i think u can try cdjapan as the cdjapan still have the 1st press editon for sure!!
and it is cheaper than yesasia.

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview....EY=AVCD-17837#

Yukitora 3rd November 2005 09:58 AM

The problem is that I probably have to get the overseas version because I need my dads permission first and it might be too late and CDjapan doesn't sell overseas version, thanks for the though though :D

CARNIVAL is definately way more plausibly then "Shine on more"...

Mirai Noah 3rd November 2005 05:43 PM

I love reading rumored tracklistings... they make me laugh.

"I am the same", sounds awfully weird too.. LOL. Shine on more reminds me of BoA. I thin kCarnival is the most believable rumour at the time. :P

definitely fake. She hasn't even made all the songs yet.

How do you know that? She probably finished all the songs before september and is spending this time with photoshoots, making videos, edited them and producing the CDs.

I just doubt she hasn't finished the songs, otherwise they wouldn't have put a realise date incase something went wrong.

law521 5th November 2005 07:05 AM

happiness!!! i love Ayu!

Isthan 5th November 2005 11:22 AM

So there is no official tracklist out yet?

Raleigh 5th November 2005 11:24 AM

^ Nope that's too early. But there are:
STEP you
is this LOVE
alterna
fairyland
HEAVEN
Will
Pride
Bold & Delicious

These will probably be in the album.

Qt Mashi 5th November 2005 04:34 PM

HanabiChick 5th November 2005 04:41 PM

Hmmm, seeing what we've had for it so far, this album will be like MY STORY, have a mixture of good and weak tracks. Maybe there'll be a few new tracks that are good, and it might just be a bit better than MY STORY, but probably not by much, though.

Yes, I'm agree with u that it will be mixture of good and weak tracks. I hope this time new tracks will not be making in hurry (like last year) and we'll find more good tracks. However after releasing 1 single per month I think better will be abstain with those wishes because everything evidence that new album is making in hurry like MY STORY last year :(

Ryoko 5th November 2005 11:11 PM

I wish Ayu would leave some single tracks off her albums, or at least have different versions of them like in LOVEppears or something.

Kaiouforever 6th November 2005 07:26 AM

I dunno, I didn't like the album version of Endless Sorrow...

And I was wondering, is there a yesasia.com link for preordering the album?

TeamAyu 6th November 2005 09:03 AM

I already know this album is better than "MY STORY" which is my favorite album by her... but everything this year has been TOP NOTCH! And I'm beyond LOVING "Bold & Delicious" so yeah this album is MAJORLY diverse and just awesome. I really will love this CD. I see this being my favorite CD very soon. I just hope the album tracks are as diverse and unique as the single tracks. Gawd am I excited for this. After reading the translations so far for "Bold & Delicious", the rumored title "FREEDOM" doesn't sound too crazy. I still have my bets on "CARNIVAL" though.

Sure, it's available from 2 weeks already but I want to tell u that price of album is cheaper at CDjapan than YesAsia:

GLOBAL:
CD only version
CD+DVD version
US:
CD only version
CD+DVD version

(of course it's japanese edition - overseas it's not pre-ordered yet)

greggerz189 8th November 2005 07:28 AM

I have a feeling that Will might not make it on the album... I'm pretty sure that might be chalked up as one of Ayu's rare "B-sides"...I'm juiced for this album, too! ^_^ I'm going to wait to pre-order the album until I get news of her covers and whatnot, because if it's like MY STORY with only one cover for CD+DVD and like 6 for the CD version, then I'll pre-order the CD+DVD version. Especially since it's limited. P.S. I ::HEART:: Bold&Delicious!!! It's so unique and fresh!!!

hopeorpain 8th November 2005 07:41 AM

Goodness I can't believe that I just preordered it! It's so expensive...but I couldn't help myself hehe^^

Hmm, yeah. I wish Will will make it too!! There's already sort of a tracklist up and available at another new thread. Lots of PVs from all her singles. :love

but it is cheaper from YESASIA if u order to go for free shipping =)

Qt Mashi 12th November 2005 03:52 PM

i'd be interested in seeing the "Making of B&D"

maybe we might see Ayu waving to people and see her fans running after her!

it's always fun to watch that ;)

Only by a couple of dollars, mind you but anyhow if you need PayPal then YesAsia's for you ^^ I just wanted to make sure I got first press version.

In this moment only first press is available everywhere - however I want to have sure too :yes I'm gonna buy more CDs at once and CDjapan don't have them yet - YesAsia do so it's one more reason for me to buy at YesAsia :)

the3ye 12th November 2005 04:49 PM

i ordered mine from CDjapan with Air Mail shipping, it's only 1$ cheaper than on yesasia : )
but I prefer yesasia more, cos'e they have OS versions

Yeah I was doubtful though since YesAsia is not so predictable about stock. I usually buy from YesAsia but I don't want to miss the first press for no reason XDD

Yes, YesAsia have OS versions and they r half cheaper than original japanese but I hate OS versions! I was buying OS versions few years ago because at that time I had easier access for them than japanese. I know from my own experience that quality of edition in OS versions in lower because I had possibility to compare between them.

For ex.: japanese version was recorded at CD with golden super - on OS version it was only normal silver super; japanese booklets was printed on better kind of paper (shiny coated paper) - OS was printed only on thick and mat. Also the most important feature was quality of CD-disc. Discs from OS versions r not long-life and if u listening some albums too often then paint will start to fall of from disc super - something like that never happend me with japanese releases.

Besides I don't like chinese stickers and inscriptions in all.

I treat overseas versions like a bootlegs - for me original could be only one and it's available in country where artist originally releasing records :rolleyes

[EDIT] Of course they r my own experiences only and I have proofes on all I said. However I must say Avex OS r quite good.

Shiso 12th November 2005 06:21 PM

I Pre-ordered CD+DVD at YesAsia. When the title/tracks/covers will be revealed I will think about ordering the CD-only version too. If not only covers will differ but also the photobook included to them then I will surely buy both.

And I disagree that overseas versions are released worse than the Japanese originals... they WERE released worse but now the differences are really unnoticably... the quality of the paper is now better - I could even say that it's almost as good as japanese... and actually the only thing that makes You notice that it's an overseas version are the stickers and the obi.

I buy ayu's new releases in Japan version... but when I was collecting all her singles I was buying as much os as I could to make it cheaper. But now I just can't make myself wait for os versions because I want ayu cds asap ;) (oh... and the concerts - I tend to buy ONLY os... because Japanese are too expensive)

But when it comes to other artists I usually wait for os versions...

Sorry about the offtop!

And the album... I am curious when will we know if the CD only and CD+DVD photobooks will be different... I hope soon enough for me to order first-presses of both of them ;)

I don't care about QUANTITY but QUALITY. I would rather to lose but have japanese originals not OS :eyebrow

the3ye 12th November 2005 07:27 PM

i disagree, i have OS versions of many CD and few japs too, besides obis and stickers I can't see any differences Oo, my CDs are still alive even after houndred of hours in my cheap CD-player and the paper print/quality is as good as pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~. Maybe years ego OS were crap but not now, for one ayu single, can't remember which one OS looks better than pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~. if you like pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~, that's ok. I don't care if it's pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~ or not, i'm just glad that i can have it.... and it's original not bootleg.
and what about that paint goes off from cd super? you mean the picture on front cd side? never happened to me, you have really bad luck, lost cd's in shipping process and now probs with OS cd's you're not wery lucky ;)

Shiso:
hmmm two photobooks? crap... hope she won't do this...

Since we're talking about wheres cheaper, where to order i have a question. i have to give an example for this 'if i order ayu's B&D for example with um... koda's singles A-G i will get that order when "G" is finally available. If I make another order with ayu's album and something else, will ayu's album be with the order with her B&D and A-G, or will it be seperate orders?'

the3ye 12th November 2005 07:34 PM

unless you will ask yesasia that you would like add items to B&D order, it's gonna be a separate order

Couldn't agree more ;) not so lond ago I was ordering Ai Otsuka's and Utada's CDs and I was amazed with the quality of the paper! I guess it;s the same as in japanese versions - really thick and glossy photo paper! Today I received Gackt's album OS and it was stored in a great cardboard sleeve and the booklet had VERY thick paper that wouldn;t fit into the CD itself... and it's quality was amazing!

Some time ago I had a chance to compare Koda's best album in Japanese version and OS version and I see no difference... and I was so mad at myself for buying the Japanese version...

I love the quality of the CDs I order but I also love my money that I have to earn myself ;)

Oh thats great, see i thought they would add towards ur first order then i would have to wait twice as long. *phew* so basically i can order something then order another thing and get as much seperate orders i want? i suppose...

yep, don't worry they won't add new items to previous order that isn't shipped yet

Marseille 13th November 2005 06:50 AM

thank you for the info. I m just so exited about ayu's new album :) I can't wait for the tracklist

Baernash 13th November 2005 12:32 PM

@Shiso / @The-Eye: I don't know why u both talking mostly about quality of paper. It was only exemple which difference could be but I don't said that any OS have all those differences. There r many technical and physical defects between japanese & OS and they was observe on actual releasing media by my friends which buying japanese versions as well as OS. I've noticed only about it when Demure Dusk mention about OS versions seeling on YesAsia, however I'm not gonna start to discussion about it because different ppls could have different experiences.

I don't know why u straight off deny if u didn't have similar experiences or possibility to compare? Even if u don't have similar thoughts u shouldn't negate (disagree with) my own :shakehead I think better way of conversation is exchange own experiences - not peremptory praise ur own and placing them higher and as most truly than experiences of other ppls (because I feel so urs opinions) :rolleyes

BTW by coincidence I've noticed u both r from Poland and my first thought was that probably u compare OS with polish originals (not japanese) so that's why OS r amazing for u... OK sorry for cynicism - please don't appropriate :yes

Eh... it's not depend on me that some ppls have problems with respecting opinions of other ppls. I'm always saying what I think but always with respect opinions of other ppls even (or first of all) if they r different from mine own. I can talking about different points of view because that's what discussion means. However as I see even here r peremptory ppls who thinks that only they have right and their opinions r most truly. It's nothing new for me but I hate those maintenances...

Well... I have some rumor tracklists of CARNIVAL and some funny opinions about "Shine On More...". I'll send it to u if u want :eyebrow

Ryoko 13th November 2005 10:55 PM

Man, there's no new info on the album yet? I hope it has more than 15 songs (or at least a bonus one like in I am... and LOVEppears) and she leaves some songs off the album. If she includes Bold&Delicious and Pride and the rest of the songs she released this year, that's 8 songs. That doesn't leave much room for new songs. I mean, it's not like her I am... era. Those singles rocked so much I was glad she put them on. This year, the singles were good, but not excellent (except certain songs like is this LOVE?). So I'm hoping the album tracks are really really good. And the cover as well. And the title. And everything else. Lol.

No new info :( We still know there will be ONLY 15 TRACKS - nothing more, no hidden tracks etc...

*Petit* 13th November 2005 11:44 PM

If there are only 15 tracks we may know almost all of them already:

STEP you
is this LOVE?
fairyland
alterna
HEAVEN
will
BOLD&DELICIOUS
Pride
Startin'
Rainy day

Personally I don't think she'll include all the b-sides, allthough I can't see which one she's going to leave out. Is this LOVE? was promoted along with STPE you, had a good PV and was on her most popular single this year. alterna had a PV and a tie up (I think..?), will diden't have a PV but did have her traditional Panasonic CM tie-up. Pride will have a PV, and perhaps tie-ps..? I don't think any PV will be left out it would be weird considering the album comes in a CD/DVD version also. Perhaps she's trying the strategy from I am... and LOVEppears to enhance sales...?

I'm not sure Startin' and Rainy day will be included album - I think it will be only independent release (single + on game OS). I'm not expecting any b-sides - at least ENHANCED PART (but it's little possible) :rolleyes

there might be a hidden track, u never know~ :shrug

well hope they'll surprise us with one!

hopeorpain 14th November 2005 01:07 AM

I want new songs on the album, since I'll just buy the singles. B-sides shouldnt be on the album imo. Namie did this pretty well with the speed star, with ppl buying the single after they found out that the song wasn't on the album.

Beyond the Sea 14th November 2005 01:25 AM

B-sides should be on the album! I don't want to buy singles~

truehappiness 14th November 2005 01:28 AM

Well; they've confirmed that all the songs with PVs before Bold & Delicious will be on the DVD portion.. I bet all the tracks that she's released will be on the album :]

I mean; Will had an instrumentalll! INSTRUMENTALL! /dies

Zeo

^^'' Yeah a lot of people would want that. But wouldn't you like more new songs on the album? MY STORY had a lot, I'd say. This new album doesn't seem too "new" to me so far.

Last year when we have only announcement of MY STORY (title and tracklist wasn't known at that time yet) they said it will be 17 tracks on the album and exactly 17 was. Now we know there will be 15 - and I think there will be only 15.

We know already that album will be contain all songs from this year singles (with b-sides included) :yes

(sorry but before it I though u think about something different by "b-side" notion)

bluegie 14th November 2005 09:38 AM

I do hope they omit Will from the upcoming album... This is the only track w/o a pv. is this LOVE? must be included the album because it's an A-side. alterna should be in the album as well because even the website quoted the single as "fairyland c/w alterna". I know the poster of HEAVEN has "HEAVEN c/w Will" but it's not stated on the official website... So most likely this will be the one being kicked out. Of course, including Will into the album is no harm for me at all LOL (although I dun really like the song).

Sorry you're wrong, last year Tower Records said that there will be 15 tracks + posiibility of 4 different covers, and then this changed to 17.
So there's still hope for new songs, and I have a feeling that Will won't be added to new album

Raleigh 14th November 2005 12:36 PM

Yep that's true. Plus from where did the info come that there will be 15 tracks?

for this moment I guess that only TR and HMV are saying that there are 15 tracks, but it doesn't mean that's the final number

U'r wrong - many more reliable sources like Yodobashi publish this info even earlier than HMV and TowerRecords.

the3ye 14th November 2005 01:09 PM

oh come on! maybe there are otheres sources, who cares... it's not about who is more reliable and who's not and who gave this news first... I'm just trying to point out that we're not completely sure about how many tracks there are gonna be on upcoming album... maybe sources say that there are 15 tracks but from last year i know that this can be changed...

Of course there r many more reliable sources. U started to count them - not me. I only wanna say that sources r reliable for me because informations r released on public japanese sites - not some chinese bbs as another rumor :rolleyes
