I prefer to think of it as, "Oh so you thought Mirror was a badass intro? Well this is THE introduction that will blow you out of your seat. And when you get back up, Microphone will be there to knock your ass back down. :mischief" - ayumi hamasaki

I literally laughed out loud as soon as I read "THE introduction".

Anywho, interesting titles. Can't wait =)

I prefer to wait until she tells us why she titled it "THE introduction" because usually things make a lot more sense after she's said her side of the story, haha.

Thanks for sharing! Now what's next for Ayu...which song will she sing on the Music Station special on April 2nd?

Yeah I thought of it like that too. I actually do say stuff like that too, like this is THE album, but I'd rather she let the interlude speak for itself. There are so many more titles she could've used for a title too :( If she has some super-crazy-amazing-blow-my-mind explanation, it'll be all good :D But...what jbrat says is probably a paraphrase of what she'll say in an interview.

red line=/=♥

not a bad song, but really not an album worthy song. but then again we are getting an "album version" so I'll wait till we hear it all to decide. I'll give it one last chance. XD

The way you guys are talking about it is reminding me of "This Is The One" hahahaha.

Except of course, THE introduction will probably blow all of her other introductions out of the water...

^That's what I'm getting from that title lol. If it turns out to be a GREAT OMGS!!! song, I'd hate to actually have to say THE introduction is a great song !! THE introduction rocks! etc...

THE introduction

LOL So unoriginal
-
meaning of Love

I WANT TO KNOW, THE MEANING OF PEACE AND LOVE

I'm hoping I won't even recognize the song LOL. I wanted RED LINE to be special to the single and thus not even be on this album at all. But at the VERY least, they're redoing it.

i love all the titles, really. my favorite is "Lady Dynamite". but "last links" makes me laugh for some reason :laugh i personally think they should have cut out "Sunset", but i'm happy they put on "RED LINE", so it's all good. :D

"Jump!" - GIRL NEXT DOOR :laugh but without the exclamation point, lol.

To be honest, this comment is about as unoriginal as unoriginal can get...

-shifty eyes-

I'm think there will only be two interludes after THE introduction, just because even if THE introduction has lyrics, I don't think she'd do a lyric card for that because it wouldn't be fair for the person who got that card when 11 others got full songs. xD

I mean, I'd be happy with just an autograph, but I don't she'd do that. And if there are three interludes after THE introduction, maybe it will be a full song. An introduction could be a full song, I think. :yes

aww ;D I can't make fun of Ayu being unoriginal?

I am glad that both sunrise and sunset made it into the tracklist. Now I don't have to buy the single. It seems like every year her album tracklist are getting weird. But what's
more important is the songs. Can't wait to listen to them!

I was thinking the same thing! :yes


I was hoping Sunset wouldn't be on the album, but oh well :innocent

Lol and 'meaning of Love' ? hmmm, maybe it's a continuation of Amuro's 'The Meaning of Us' :roflmao

Ahh so I read the other thread, so there are 12 tracks with lyrics, strengthening the 3 interlude theory.

But there might be an interlude/short track with lyrics, which might be the 4th one. Its not technically an interlude if it has lyrics. But Mirror was more of a song than Bridge to the Sky was.

yay! ew but sunset is there~~ Love RedLine cant wait for the album ver!!!

wow! great titles! lady dynamite caught my interest the most! that song sounds awesome!

Even if THE introduction has lyrics and is counted as one of the 12 with lyrics-- as long as it's as awesome as Mirror, I don't care. When GUILTY first came out, Mirror was my most played track. Mirrorcle World just about made my life.

Anyone give a thought to this...? What if that new TA exclusive song is called "THE" and it's to THE introduction as Mirror was to Mirrorcle World?

THE introduction could mean like an introduction for THE. haha
