I don’t mind how it sound a when ayu sings lower but when Timmy has her sing high it sounds bad for me. I don’t like those “thin” high note vocals she does at all. I wish she’d just stay away from them altogether.

Give me another BRILLANTE~

Oh ! I really like what I hear !
And it's so rare to listen to Ayu a capella, she sounds great !

I love it when they work together. Gosh I’m excited.

I thought 'Beauty' would be a snippit of a new song, but apparantly she is promoting some accupuncture threatment... lol

この間マサが「頭皮の浮腫みには鍼がいい」って言ってて、頭皮オタクの私としてはそれはもうめっちゃ気にな ってたら、まさかのタイミングで私のゴッドハンドSOU氏 @tuneupstaff が頭皮鍼スタートするとな🧐

その名も”KENZAN”←ちょっと怖い笑 な訳で早速明日トライしてみるのだ✋✨めっちゃ楽しみ💙

Her teams needs to learn how to edit her face, she looks like an alien here smh

Omg I love this behind the scenes of the creative process, I hope she posts more videos!
I can't even judge the song because all we got were some oohs and ahs lol but she sounds beautiful practicing.

Those behind the scenes videos are so interesting! I love seeing the process in work. Her voice is so clear too. It makes me wonder how much live music during shows really effect her ability to hit notes! She sounds perfect here.

I can't help it but lips look too silicon to me :shakehead

I think it would be hilarious if she was re-recording Bold 'n' Delicious or something haha

I prefer the part where Ayu is doing the mid-range notes from the preview but it's mostly because I'm thinking about how she'll need to sing it high in concerts and it would be better for the lives if she had a more manageable range.

Found live collection of ayu performances

Today I dreamt about the new album.

We had a 15s snippet of a new song called "Marionete" (lol) and it was something RnB-ish. There was also another song preview on YouTube and people here were trying to figured out what the title was, but it was actually No way to say with a slighly different arrangement and lyrics. :laugh Then other songs started to leak and we had a total of 15 (!).

Guess at this point I just can't wait until she releases it.

You're not the only one! A couple of days ago I had a dream where the album was released on 2 cds, kind of like LOVEppears, only the second cd wasn't remixes, but like 6 more original songs and that second cd was titled "more talk" or something lol

Hmmmm I wonder if Ayu will be listed in the credits for composition then? "Timothy Wellard + Ayumi Hamasaki"

Probably not since I imagine a lot of songwriting sessions are like that with her. I mean she could probably very well put a +CREA on a lot of songs probably, especially lately.

I don't think she's dictating the melody though. She's simply discussing the flow/atmosphere of how the composition unfolds, and more so actually just agreeing with Timmy.

Yeah I agree with Zeke. What she's doing in the video isn't composing at all. This isn't supposed to sound harsh or something, but even though I know a lot of artists tag their name along for "composing" in a case like this, I would think of it as dishonest, lazy and that she would give a shit about the actual work behind it. Actually I think it speaks for her not to claim she co-wrote a song, when all she did was what we saw in the video (of course if she does more than that it's another case).
