I suppose after releasing a mini album this year, next year in 2007, the full album will be believed to be as good as MY STORY, just like in 2003-2004, after releasing Memorial address, than went the MY STORY ALBUM.

The chief reason is that AVEX needs more TIME to for the composers to produce more and merrier songs, rather than rubbish to be released in the album~

i dont like jidden tracks, because we normally dont get to know the title of the track, and the composers dont get properly credited in the album.

I don't like hidden tracks.

But for a completely other reason, you have to separate them yourself when you rip the CDs lol.

Mmm ... well, I don't know, I like hidden tracks! Hehe, there better be one! 7 tracks for a mini album with the backing of only 2 singles? Geez, I don't know about this. But yup, I guess it's only appropriate that it has the backing of 2 singles, since it's a mini album?

I think that had forgiveness been kinda 'left out of the mix' a month or so after & came out, Memorial address would've had the same amount :)

This mini album might be part of the reason why BLUE BIRD had it's 3rd a-side missing, that might have been around the time when they figured they're releasing a mini album instead of a full album ... If JEWEL would have been on BLUE BIRD, there would only be 1LOVE and the TBA song left... which is way too little.

I hate only being able to speculate. :cry

avex should have one HUGE press release, and kill all our speculations by telling us all the juicy details about everything.

Well, I just kinda want psychic powers. :)

Hopefully at least 1LOVE is good, or the other song. I'm not really into JEWEL anymore.

Well, all you have to listen to is a live performance.. so I bet that gets kinda '..wha?'

I memorized the song already so.. I'm waiting for the studio recording.

oh yeah that's true!

a bonus track like Memorial Address would be awesome, i also thought Memorial Address was the best album track :yes

I wonder if this'll be one of those rare occasions that an album title track gets a PV..

Or maybe she'll pull a MY STORY. :<

You know, it's wise that they aren't unveiling details yet. I hope they only start airing the PVs and stuff next month.

Well, PVs and stuff usually don't come this far before..

Usually like two weeks at the most..
I am really hoping they unveil tour details this month :)

I'm really hoping they promote the album like KURAAZZIII. We need a million seller pronto. Maybe this might do the trick, who knows? I really didn't expect My Story to sell more than Memorial Address. Maybe this might do better than (missundaztood).

Well, if ULTRA BLUE didn't get even 900k yet..

I don't know if we can expect such results with an Ayu mini..

^ precisly ... >.>

Ultra Blue sold so badly? I am surprised!

It's becoming the highest selling solo artist album of the year, and the second highest selling original album, in a few weeks when it passes (miss)understood. That's not bad, it's not always about the numbers.
