^Maybe it's going to be something like Kumi's BEST ～third universe～ & 8th AL "UNIVERSE". 1st CD is BEST album, 2nd CD all tracks from 5 mini albums + some new songs. Good for both fans & for casual listeners.

^I'd be more than ok with that actually, I might even buy it ! I really hope there is a kind of compilation with Love, again, and whatever is released next at the end, because I can't really afford 5 releases in 5 months -___-

yeah' but u really think ayu would do something like this?

i think it's more like A BEST 3 + new song and extra (not coupled) a new album containing the most songs from the 5 releases... and some new songs...
this would be more ayu-ish ;)

her best bet would be to do A Best 3 stuck together with all the songs on these minis for fans who dont want to buy all the minis.

Wonder how much longer until we know what the January release is going to be...

I think the newest theory is next tuesday??

I think it'll be her 51st single (if the pricing rumour is true). Perhaps she has recorded a song she feels is worthy enough to be a single on its own...

^ pricing rumor??

I do hope it's a career length best, makes sense if it's released next year and all.

What's the pricing rumour? I though the next cd was gonna be like 3000 yen?

I would like to know also..
I wouldnt want a career length best though... over half would be filled with A best 1 and 2... and we dont need those again, again, again... lol

8th January

A BEST 3 HUSBANDS
Disc Tomoya
Disc Mannie
Disc Maro
Including Brand New Song 『 LONG HAIR DUDES ~for me~ 』

Apparently a Weibo user (rongayu?) mentioned that the next release would not be a mini-album as it has a different pricing to LOVE/again. However, this is just forum talk, I haven't seen it confirmed so far, so I think it's just a rumour? So, the next release could be anything; a single, full length album, AT12...but, taking into consideration it's been mentioned that all releases are music, I was expecting a single as it seems so...soon for a full-length album...why would anyone buy the minis of this was so? Again, all speculation! :)

^ i would love a full length... in I think if it were, the mini's wouldnt be on it...
that would be the last bit of straw for me. (as in singles posing as minis)
Her minis uselly never wind up on albums... sooo...

but I would kill for a single! that would be amazing...

I just want a full album with new material
No best albums. We already have all the songs anyway.

BTW this is completely off topic, but TeamAyu2004, who is that in your avatar? it has been bothering me for months.

like another a complete ~all singles~ (only... actually complete and with all singles? lol)?


AMAZING POST

Ill assume youre talking about the guy? :P
kellan lutz, he is Poseidon from Immortals.. i felt like the lyrics of one of ayumi's songs fit the scene sooo well.

OT: I wouldnt mind a BEST as long as it came with some killer extras

A single a-side single release with lots of remixes (and actually called a single) that got #1 would be amazing, followed finally by the remix albums I am so desperately hoping for!

Soooo funny!!!

Lot of ballads though... and Song 4 U is so simple and almost too much like Progress. I want a poppy, really upbeat single like STEP you or independent.

Thank you for making me laugh so loud that the guy next door will probably complain about it again :roflmao

hahahahahaha I soo want that abest!!

too genius *-*

I wonder if we'll get announcement for 4th release soon?

LOVE announced in September 25th
cover on October 10th

again announced in October 23rd
cover on November 16th

A CLASSICAL announced in November 22nd
cover on December 10th

I hope we get another music release as I do not buy much else from Ayu.

For the next release I really hope it's HOTEL Love songs AT12!!

Me too!! >_<

Oh I hope we get news in a few days then! Maybe they'll do it on christmas :P

I bet we'll get info on Monday :) And I hope this release is "another" remix album, a mini, a single or something that involves new music or so, then I do hope it is not AT12 DVD :P

i dont think it will be a DVD since it said it would be new music...

you mean Ayu tweets? We had 2 minis, maybe that's it...
Or are there new info?

^ I think that's from the official announcement of the 5 releases? Not sure tho

^ yeah, but A CLASSICAL is still "new music" kinda thing, maybe that's it for "new stuff"? I hope we'll get more new stuff. She can always realese DVD after anniversary. But I hope for new music as new studio music, not "remixes" though... A CLASSICAL is enough for me. I'm never excited for remix albums from Ayu.

if we don't get ayu trance 5 in the next few months I am going to be extremely devastated

^^ it was announced.

A classical is still new MUSIC... a DVD wouldnt be anything new.

dude, bad timing and lack of quoting but you just gave me a ****ing heart attack

^ lol... we totally just posted at the wrong time.
Im with you though. I want new trance music...

the HOUSE was good too... eurobeat can be replaced, lol.

Also, if anything she might release the DVD again with her album (on same day) if she does what I think she is planning on doing.

haha yeah I thought that too.

You know, AYU TRANCE would be still a NEW MUSIC.
But I don't want remixes :< new material pleaaaaaaaase.
I would be satisfated with 4 - NEW AYU-MIX's 5 - WHOLE NEW ALBUM
<3

if one of 2 realeses is a whole new album then I don't care what's in the other XD
I hope it's not 2 remix albums -_-

Next release "A INSTRUMENTAL"

Ayu please release an album with early demos and unreleased songs :love it's my dream

I don't want another remix album please >.>

^ unrealesed songs with DATES (imagine there are songs from 2000-2005 out there)

I WOULD DIE

only remix album I would tolerate is "ROCK BEST" with guitar/strong rock arragments. (Like Ladies Night ~another night~ JUST IMAGINE.)

just. imagine.

I would even die for strong rock remix of any of new songs.

I hope we can get an album with the CM versions of the songs and rare tracks (Moments, 1 LOVE, Step you) :heart :heart
It's almost impossible :(

Since my wish is hard to get, i bet she could release the ARENA TOUR DVD, a second book, a mini album, or another best.

I hope she surprises us again.
A CLASSICAL was a nice surprise really.
Totally unexpected.
It makes me wonder what will happen next...

I think I'm in the minority(?) of people who don't want to see another best.
2 BEST albums (A SUMMER BEST + A BEST 3) in two years?
It just seems silly, especially when considering a few of the songs that appeared on A SUMMER BEST would probably appear again on A BEST 3 (BLUE BIRD, glitter, Sunrise/Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ just to name a few).

Although I shouldn't get my hopes up, I hope Ayu really does release demos/unreleased songs in an album form one day. If 'It was...' was originally cut from (miss)Understood, then I can't even imagine the goldmine that is Ayu's unreleased catalogue....

If AHS helped in the creation of Ayu-mi-x 7, then I think it is completely possible for this to happen if there is enough support for it.

She did A BEST 2 in 2007, and A COMPLETE in 2008, so it could happen!

I think A BEST 3 would be the 5th release or maybe a bonus 6th on her anniversary day :)
I wonder what's the next one! Maybe remix album or a DVD.

Maybe she will release "A BEST 3"..but in 2 CDs ; DISC 1 will be Ayu favorite, and DISC 2 will be fan favorite~maybe~~~~~~

Hopefully, although unlikely, the next one is A CLASSICAL II. I know you guys hate it when we do this but I'd like to share my wish list.

A CLASSICAL II
01 HANABI
02 progress
03 monochrome
04 Mirrorcle World
05 Free & Easy
06 Duty
07 no more words
08 You were...
09 Virgin Road
10 glitter

im quite sure the next release is A Best 3, look at the title for her Kouhaku performance, A Special medley 2012, maybe thats the hint :P

I think it's really likely that we get A BEST III soon, what better occasion could there be ? It could a 6th release, on the 5th of April, CD1 being a best, and CD2 gathering all tracks from LOVE, again, and whatever's coming next. That would be worth buying !

The next release will most likely be HLS Arena Tour DVD/BD

I'd be ok with a live CD from the tour.

I fear for the next release.

^same here...

I don't get why people want the tour DVD, it's not something special but something we would get anyway.



You made my day! :laugh

I dont think so since we were informed that this would be 5 release of new music.

I kinda hope, but not really, want A classical 2 as well... lol..
Maybe A ballads 2.. FINALLY!

I'd kill for that

I just want a new album
even if it flops, i want it.

wonder why still no news for February release? is it too early? i finished my finals and I need something new xD

My dreams: A BALLADS II, A COVERS, a self cover album or ayu trance 5

Tho I know none of them are very likely to happen... Maaaaaybe A BALLADS II, with one or two re-recordings [?] and some new mixes...

I want A: NEW SINGLE

lol

I think probably the Live-release next.

Releasing A BEST 3 at the end of these five releases makes sense. It's quite close to her date of debut, they can say "2012 Big hit mini-album followed by Best album!!!!" on her website.

in February it will be a full new album!it is on team ayu!

^ If that's true, then wow

If there are no songs from LOVE or again on it, then WOOOOOOOOW

NEW ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!

And you're gonna get it!

^ nice quote. lol

^ thanks:)

Now that it has been decided that the next release will be an album, I'm here to share my tracklist for the album 'I Party Alone'

1. Don't wake me up
2. Me & I
3. Days alone
4. No dearest
5. Dead ivy
6. I Party Alone
7. Sour scar
8. A song for nobody
9. (Do) Leave me alone
10. Song 4 Me
11. Fly Low
12. Nobody's missing
13. No love
14. Free & Lonely
15. Kiss 'n' Kill Me

I'm so stuck with this concept that I'm gonna be so disappointed when the next album is about ayu's inevitable break up with the H single guy AKA Maro.

Let's get us some Seiko level sales xD
