If this is actually from Sweet magazine, I highly doubt it is fake. They aren't going to write that she has a mini album coming out unless they actually know it will be.

Maybe they meant the full album, 15 tracks full + 1 bonus track will be released in a mini disc instead? LMFAO :laugh j/k

what annoys ME more is that I can't view the picture. can't try to translate or whatever

On the pic under where is says "More Info" is where it states that a mini album is due at the end of Nov. This would go along w/ the rumor that stated 1love/jewel would be coming out on Nov. 21st.

And to add more flame to the fire, the new Sweet issue was indeed due to be in stands today.

edit: It's also now more or less been confirmed at AyuLoveAyu: http://super.fureai.or.jp/~joichi/ay...e=5322;id=0002

well the ad in japanese did say the word album in late november
i'm just not quite sure if it's MINI album or FULL album
cause i don't know what MINI is in japanese lol but i know what album is

:S it's not even something fake japanse that MIGHT indicate a mini-album? it's just.... true like that? whoah what a shocker xD Didn't see that coming really

it's simply "ミニアルバム" (which they used for Memorial Address on their official site)

Exactly. Can someone well-versed in Japanese give us a translation please? Is an album even mentioned at all in there?

(And I agree with immel. It just feels off. I definitely don't think this is what we're getting. Granted, it is also partly because I want more, but... it seems far too soon, too risky).

EDIT: Crap, don't tell me it's true.

I just saw the pic. It certainly says "nyu mini arubamu ririsu"... new mini album release


When I saw 'nyu" I thought.. OMg it's New, not mini.. but it's both :S

It says Mini album. (ミニアルバム)

Wow! I have a gret feeling that all the songs there will be new! I'm very excited =)

Yes! New album <3 Made my day!

I was like shouting NO!!!!! when I saw this till I cooled down a bit. If the release of a mini album is true, Im quite surprised avex would only let ayu release 2 singles this year....and no winter ballad single?

you know hopefully the single "JEWEL / 1LOVE" Will have 14 tracks and that's why it's called a mini album :P

I dun really mind ayu's releasing a mini-album at all.. dunno why. I just hope there will be new songs other than the ones we've known already..

ayu should have released a ballad... but i guess her eye problem shifted everything off...

LOL don't forget about the bonus track!:innocent

how about a mini album with cross over track as a hidden track hihihihihiihihihihi :D
dont care with what she will release... let it be and u know mini album sounds fine... as long as they have more than 3 new songs :D just kind of bored listening to album in which half of the track has been released to single :D

+ please pay attention that not only ayu which has terrible sales, but also all of japanese singers..... because of the technology of itunes or legal download with cheaper money, people in japan tends to do that coz their living cost is way too high :D ^^
eg: if there is no legal download or anything about, i believe that her singles sales can be 1,5-2 times more >.<

This may sound naive of me but I'd rather wait until the horse speaks the words straight from her mouth (or until the horse's owners do anyway. Wow, that sounded demeaning).

I would say pretty much yes. Of course it's not 100% until Avex announces it, but that article does indeed translate to "Mini album in late Nov." And now a Japanese Ayu board is talking about it as if it were true and they would have access to Sweet Magazine.
