Thanks for the NINKI info @Cahz-
I wonder what the NINKI was like for A ONE, if there was one.. hopefully sixxxxxx does really. Ayu deserves a big turn around.

#WhyNotUs???

I think she has got a shot here. The album competition is pretty weak among this week's releases. 42.25, though, is a bit low compared to the past...

My main concern is if DREAMS COME TRUE can disrupt Ayu's sales, although V6 (a Johnny's group, also releasing a best album, 20th anniversary) just got #1 last week...

I'm mostly positive Ayu's going to get #1 here. DCT craze might have died down.

Nice... I hope it will sell better for this album... The songs is pretty good...

My album has officially been shipped. Just got the e-mail from mu-mo! :luv2

Nah this week V6 will get the #1 spot but that's beside the point, it really annoys me how that DCT album is doing IMO they're overrated AF, but I honestly can't see them get less sales than Ayu -_____-

Thanks for posting~

I updated all the lyrics with the official ones. Only Summer diary's translation need one change.

wow the songs mostly done by tetsuya yukumi and yuta nakano
nice nice..
thanks for sharing the info

Guys can we talk about how GOOD her english has became. I can actually make out every single word, and it sounds fluent. those years in LA did her good :)

There are currently 4 best albums in Oricon's Top 10. I think it's good enough if sixxxxxx managed to sell the most out of the original albums released today/tomorrow.

Yeah you better 'bilieve' it

^ I was eating a grape when I read that and I laughed so hard it flew out.

Honestly though, her English has gotten very good. I watched a performance she did with JJ Lin where she spoke in English for the crowd and I was pretty impressed!!! It's awesome!

Dunno, no matter how many times I listened, I could not understand that she was saying "believe" because of her pronunciation.

Just listened to the whole mini in full. Sky high sounds exactly like an ELT song circa 1999 or something. It's nice but unexciting. Shape of love is nice too in that languid Far Away kind of way. I can probably also enjoy Summer diary in some situations, like My all in concert encores.

I thought step by step was a bad song but Sorrows might just be even worse.

It's kind of disappointing to me that the bright points of her music these days are throwbacks to nostalgia and 90s pop. It's nice for a while but beyond that it's like, why do we even need these songs? They add absolutely nothing to her repertoire.

Anyway, still holding out for her to actually try and make more interesting music ala Colours and Party Queen.

My Album has been shipped :luv2 can't wait to hold it in my hands

I don't know if there's more

OMG thank you :luv2 these pics are wonderful. She looks gorgeous, beautiful, stunning...now I'm more excited to get my copy

No more pic.. That is all..
Why they don't use the last pic for the cover?

Lol the first 2 pics are the exact copy of the Numero Tokyo shoot. And the only difference on the third pic is that she's not looking directly at the camera haha

I wish they used the pics where she's wearing the dress, too
