I have LINE, but I don't have any idea of how to use it ! HELP !

i love this new title..i'm getting good vibes too! ^-^

Nobody make a comment about it but Ayu will record another new song tomorrow if I understand well ? I'm a bit confused ... I thought the recording of A ONE was already done ?? I hope for more songs lol

um that line interview.... i thought "domestic" subscribers mean those in Japan?

Perhaps she still has two songs to record?

If she's actually doing a Globe cover, that's a possibility as well.

Should we expect Movin' on without you as a bonus?

^That's giving me you&me vibes

So much exciting news! I wish I could attend one of those listening events!

i'm pretty ok with having "Movin' on without you" for this album. It's awesum and it will higher the album in my eyes (ears, propably) XD

it would be amazing to put that song in the album!

no, please. I'd even prefer it if they left one of the songs from the zutto single off the album, but I'm sure that won't happen. Nothing wrong with exclusivity. ;)

big hope for this album.. crossing finger

Maybe she will record the new song "The Gift". Coz as i know yesterday JJ lin also went to tokyo. Perhaps today they will record that song.

I think it was the TK one that she had difficulties hitting the notes with and was reluctant to change the key so she kept going until she got it right.

I not sure if her insisting in not changing the key is a good thing... She may have gotten it right on studio in the end, but what if it becomes a new kanariya because she can't sing it live? =/

Might end up changing for lives? Or that part will be playback?

I'm not sure how difficult would be lowering kanariya's key. I can easily imagine how it would sound with ayu's current vocals and it's still possible.

I just wonder if there's another reason she wouldn't like to sing kanariya live (or ever again).

^ ever free, you mean? :P

I guess she wont perform them cause they're too personal for her, just like she stopped singing SAKURA and we'll probably never have it performed again

Ever again I meant sing it after she recorded it :P haha

ever free would be harder to lower its key but I think you can do it pretty much with every song.

Oh, okay :laugh Talking on unperformed songs, ever free came at once in my mind hahaha

I wonder if the title has anything to do with the A WORLD IS ONE fanbook we sent her? Wishful thinking, but that would be cool. All our faces collaged in the booklet? xD

ayu posted on FB they're done shooting the PV with JJ Lin. Guess there's only one left for shooting, then? Anxious for some previews!

Did she say that somewhere?

I always got the feeling that there may have been something about those songs that either didn't resonate well enough for her or they were just too personal.

I don't think she explicity stated something about ever free or kanariya, but it's what I feel towards this songs. She did explain about SAKURA tho iirc, on a track-by-track interview (not sure if it was for a magazine).

wishful aaaaaaaaaaaand selfish lol Japanese fans wold expload, cuz there would be hardly anyone from them in it xD

Kanariya was always too high for me anyway! I'd love it if she lowered the key and sang the version from Acoustic Orchestra 7 some time!

Not loving the title (none of my faves are doing it for me in this department lately), but I am curious for the theme of such a titled album. Excited for covers, as always.

i agree!! that's my only concern when ayu says something about forcing her voice to adjust to a higher key. But on the other hand, ayu did great with moving on without u at CDL.:P

^ She did indeed :yes I hope she'll be able to sing this one live as well, or maybe adapt it somehow like she does with Lelio.

new album!!!

Colours was okay overall with `Pray` being the golden track. Hoping for some good ballads in A ONE that are NOT like `Zutto...`

I am in complete agreement with you! If she does have ballads, I hope they're really good.

I don't remember if Walk was considered to be a ballad but it's definitely my favorite song from Zutto.... I would love for her to do more songs with deep, thought-provoking lyrics...

...I feel like Colours was lacking those kinds of lyrics to be honest. >.< It seemed like it was more about the melodies I guess?

...sounds like almost all of popular western music to me. :rolleyes

i hope we get previews really soon since the event is this weekend

lmao Colours was flawless. Unless she busts another bomb-ass producer I'm not super excited for this album. It'll be the same 'ole same 'ole. Not downplaying it or anything, especially considering the interesting album name; but the single did nothing for me (minus Last minute but even then the mastering was awful on that song).

Well ... you are all free to have your opinion etc... etc... but I don't understand what people find interesting on an album like Colours except 3 songs (pretty boring) this album is so far away from JPop ! Personally I like J-Pop because of the gap with the western music !! I mean (I keep the exemple of colours) I will never heard a song like NOW & FOREVER at the radio or anywhere in my country but songs like Lelio, XOXO, Terminal hum we are saturated by that.
Yes it was cool to hear Ayu sing songs in that style but if I compare this with the musicality & creativity of an album like Love Songs or My Story for exemple in the past I'm sorry but Colours is the artistic nothingness !

A new J-Pop album with Ayu identity is truly welcome at least for me !! It's strange the last single bring nothing new but it was fresh at the same time ! I didn't enjoy a single of Ayu like this one since years=)

from ayu's official fb

What's all this about?

This is the announcement of a Team Ayu special box edition of the new album "A ONE" and the new live DVD/Blu-Ray.

I t will contain the bonus song "Tell All (2015 Mix)".
So:loveunds cool

WOW! Unexpected. We will get Tell All then.

YAASSSS!!!
Tell All is da shit!!!
My overplayed song in 2013 (judging by my Last.fm play count)

Oh God ! *0*
What is the price of that box ?
Is someone willing to make a group order or something ?


EDIT : The box costs ¥10,368 (DVD ver.) / ¥11,880 (Blu-ray ver.)

omg time to get my friend to help me get the boxset :O
TELL ALL OMGGG!! YASSS

any pricing details?

all info in first post

special gifts only for album + cdl

Pre-ordered the CD+DVD+DVD TA Boxset because I want the TA Special Items and packaging.
Whould have prefered to buy it in Japan <.< Oh well will buy CD only there I guess.

Oh I hope that means the tour this year will get Tell All :D Freaking love that song :)

Guys, can anyone please explain to me why there are twice the same items?

Like there are two links with CD+DVD and DVD and two links for CD+Blu-ray and Blu-ray (for both +team ayu goods and without the goods). Why?

And is it coming in a special packaging or they just put both in?

One contains the TA special pre-order item (pen case) and one contains the mu-mo pre-order item (earphone case)
And it says in the discription: Specifications: Luxury BOX Specifications

Yesss ! I like the fact they have reworked Tell all instead of just put the already existing one ^^
I'm really excited to hear new arrangements !! I assume it's another arrangeur not Yuta Nakano. I hope it will be something less synthetic and more "true" instruments will be used a little like Ladies Night and Ladies Night ~Another Night~ !

Well, there's your answer. Some of us actually like Western pop.

Finally Tell All being physically released, what a surprise! I wonder what made her remember it after a couple of years lol

I'm a bit afraid of the new mix thing tho, I adore the original version. Not that I'm against a new mix, I just highly praise the original, so there's a chance I'll be disappointed. Hopefully not :D

Yes but then why listen to japanese singers full of Engrish ? western singers make it better no ? it is not a judgment but I find this interesting ;)

Thank you! I also got to understand it eventually.

I ordered the CD+bluray and live blu+ray through the team ayu shop with the mu-mo present (it should look cool!). And without the goods, 14,000+ yen is pricy and I still have tenso and the delivery to my country.

EDIT
Dammit! I just noticed it doesn't say anything about a box in the non team ayu goods editions. Gotta cancel it >_<

O.o it does.
You have to look directly below the Cover Picture (or in this case the placeholder^^)

I did, in the non team ayu goods versions (red pics) it doesn't have "仕様:豪華BOX仕様" in the page. =P

YES I just ordered all eight versions!!

...no way, totally kidding. LOL Just gonna get the CD+BR+BR box :P

I feel bad for the fans who'll buy all versions. So expensive this time. :dead2

^
^I laughed so hard right now... xD

lol, I think I would need to sell my life for all the versions.

I still don't get why the non team ayu goods versions (red pics) don't have the box. At least not in their pages.

I new to TA (registered last Dec) and I want to order TA version box set, but first, do I really need to register at mu-mo?

My problem: After select the boxset then proceed to checkout, but it prompted me to login again, but I couldn't login with my TA member id and pw.



Edit: I figured out how and placed order successfully. I have ordered Bluray set =)

is so expensive for only CD album + Countdown Live DVD and the bonus she only put in the 100€ version. LOL

Ayu just tweeted she's done recording a song but it is NOT for the album but something else. Gurl is on fiiiire :banana2

I can't wait to hear the announcement

She then tweeted she's shooting an MV tomorrow with a crew of 60 people including her dancers o__o I'd guess it's the last one for the album, as Last minute and The GIFT are done already

I whould have totally believed that you actually dir xD

@ayumisrael
Yes only the ones with blue text have the box.
But you can also with the blue text ones choose between TA Goodie (pen case) or mu-mo goodie (earphone case)

I hope they completely change the bridge. That part completely ruins be flow and I actually refrain from listening to it because of this.

Yes the ones with the blue text are the Team ayu versions (with the TA goods and box). So I cancelled the other one and ordered that one. So expensive though. =P

It is possible to cancel orders at mu-mo?
Isn´t there this blabla "once place you can´t cancel" text? o.o

No you enter to the order and press the cancel button at the bottom and then confirm cancel.
It's a bit of a pain if you half know Japanese like me (or doesn't know japanese at all) but it's possible. I insured it says "cancelled" near the one I ordered.

New news - ayu recorded a new song today and it's for the next project after the album! lol she is fast. The album isn't even released yet and she records songs for future releases.

She will also shoot a PV with KO & LICO tomorrow.

First time ayu release something so special for fanclub. I'm so happy that box only for TA! That's expensive, but goods are nice. Not a candle and that's enough for me xD

I am currently trying to order through the Team Ayu Shop, however, I am experiencing issues when entering my shipping address. Can someone show me the correct format of what I need to type in the "number" line?

We will had 2 MV's with JJ lin? She's tweeted this

Maybe the new song is for Tales of Xillia 3? It's been 2 and half years ToX2 Japanese's release...

Looking at the Japanese replies to the tweet...a lot of them keep mentioning globe...are Avex releasing a globe tribute album like TRF?

^ I'd LOVE that tbh

I guess she meant just shooting another MV, but not necessarily another MV with JJ Lin. He can featured in tho, cause she said there are gonna be 60 figurants on it, so maybe he'll be one of then

Just copy and paste from tenso site. But I recommend you to use Chrome, Firefox will automaticly change the font, it won´t work then.

jfc I'd be broke if I bought the teamayu version.

whooa..I'm started to become more and more excited. I mean, Tell All on the album is a great deal. And a new song for a future project is indeed a surprise.

Related to Tell All, I'm satisfied with the original mix too so I'm happy with whatever they decide to change to it. New vocals would be great. It's nice to see that ayu didn't forget about this song especially since it has such a beautiful message.

Can someone start up a group purchase? I'd love that to be honest considering I wouldn't have enough to cover TA membership fees and I want the box. *cry*

A photo frame? It reminds me Rainie Yang's bonus for her last album. I hope Ayu's one won't be as big as Rainie's one because the shipping fees will be very very very expensive X_X

Regarding to Tell All, as they wrote mix and not remix they might refresh the song merely.

I hope the limited box will be a cheap one like ayu/avex usually likes to do so that I won't regret not being part of TA! :D

I'm glad for Tell All and the new version! The original arrangements are really cheap too.

New version of Tell All? Awesome! Love it. I hope new mix will make it sound even better and not worse. Please don't ruin this epic track.

Anyway, the only thing that's pissed me off about A ONE so far is that when she FINALLY decides to rerecord something, it's a song that's only 2 years old :/ But that's only a minor complaint. I've never seen Ayu this excited about a release. Hopefully that's a good sign... but then she was excited about the first Feel the love PV (I think) and look how that turned out lol

I don't think Tell All is being rerecorded, just mixed again.

uhm there will be no Tales of Xillia 3
the next installment is Tales of Zhestria and it already has a title song (since it came out like a week ago)

Does this mean there's hope they'll redo the mix on Last minute???

Probably not meh :(

It's possible, but not likely. Remember they gave alterna a different mix on (miss)understood (although I actually prefer the single mix).

I wonder if Ayu's been reading AHS. many here have expressed how we want a HQ version of Tell all. not to mention how we've all been talking so much shit about her poor mixing. and a lot of her recent statements ("I've lost sight of who I am as an artist...") seem to echo a lot of what we've been saying here since the release of Colours.

maybe the new song is the tribute song that was talked about couple of days ago iirc?

this might be end of my ayu CD purchasing habit. i use to collect all of the versions but these prices are ridiculous :no Colours was okay to have extra expensive one but now every CD? really? not my cup of tea anymore

I understand. As Tom Punks said, some of us still enjoy Western music. I gave up on Ayu after Party Queen and wasn't revived in my interest until it was announced she was working with m-flo. It was a nice change of pace for Ayu to finally work with different producers cause I was getting a little bored of tasuku (or whatever his name is) and Yuta Nakano working on every single song. The likes of Armin van Buuren, DAISHI DANCE, Freddie Le Grand, etc. were needed to spice up Ayu's music. I immediately pre-ordered Colours without even bothering listening to a preview cause I already knew this album would be better than what she's been attempting to shit out.

Granted, I still ended up loving Party Queen and somewhat enjoying LOVE again. But because she stuck to the same formula for LOVE again, that album became a CHORE to listen to. So it was just nice to see Ayu change the scenery for an album finally after how many years? Also, you can't compare Colours to her other masterpieces (MY STORY especially) Colours was simply a fun album to listen to. It wasn't meant to challenge our minds. Ayu was just having fun and sharing the fun with us.

Zutto... and Walk did nothing for me. But I really enjoyed the emotion in Last minute. I have no memory of Tell all, I must have thought it was unmemorable; considering Pray was released shortly after and I enjoyed that song MUCH more. I'll probably end up pre-ordering the CD only version since I want my Ayu collection to be complete, lol. Excuse the long ass rant.

Here's the thing. I don't mind western music completely. I have certain songs I love, but as was mentioned, there's SO MUCH saturation in that department, that even most american artists fail to impress. So I definitely don't need my Jpop artists "attempting" to emulate that style. It's even less likely they will deliver something substantial. Lelio was the exception. Bitch got that right.

Regarding Ayu reading this forum, I do find it a bit ridiculous when people suggest that as a possibility. Lol, you really think she has time to google what foreigners are saying about her and set a course of action to rectify what the minority is saying about her?

Thank you for you reply @NintendoHTF1242 I understand your point;)

@Zeke.
Her not but she probably has staff for seeking what fans want/think of her ! Maybe not on AHS but on others japanese websites like Mixi etc...

lol she doesn't have to google anything. some people already tweet her the same shit they post here.

Sometimes it could feel like she's reading AHS or something but I think that if they made a new version of Tell All then probably a lot of japanese fans wanted it or just liked the song and gave her feedbacks on Team ayu about it.

I'm too stopping all my collection purchases too. The current management team gives me a very bad impress. It seems like they only want to suck money out of fans (esp hardcore fans) by coming out with these so called "exclusive" stuffs for TA member. But look at Zutto... even after complaining to ayu, the stream is nowhere to be seen and the making of will be included in the new album. TA video updates are even slower than youtube making of. Wth is this membership? Even the cover art of TA version sux. Just change the angle or posture and tadah~ new version for extra money. No effort seems to be taken in making at all. So I've decided to stop all purchases for ayu's discography until they buck up.

This new song could be something on the new kingdown hearts ou some OST for movie ou anime?

I have a feeling it's probably a globe cover..Ayu tweeted 2 weeks ago telling TK that she wants to take part in the tribute album..

So many news, hahahaha, a new version of Tell All, yay !!

Her official website says:

I don't speak Japanese, but I can read kana and it says リアレンジ, which means "rearrange", so maybe it will actually sound quite different :D

Anyway, I'm really excited for this album. But ugh I really want the TA version and it's so expensive! And I wonder if the photo frame will be the same as the one we got with Colours, which was really cheap.

Don't care for the new version but i'm glad tell all will be treated as a deserving album track, Finally.:yes
