I mean, positive note is that we at least are getting SOMETHING. She is also doing promo for the first time in ages. We are getting two official concert releases, A-Nation, and two other concerts aired on television. She also still has the Chapter 2 concert AND the CDL from 16/17 yet to be released, so she definitely has the material to drop another release later this year.

I’m so torn... at first I was so excited, but now I can’t help but feel disappointed... a mini-album with only three new songs on it?! No PVs?! After all this time?! I feel like she’s definitely more interested in touring right now rather than making new music… I can’t help but see it as a semi-retirement of sorts.

If there are no PV's it's just another indicator that she feels like time is running away and thus she's focusing on touring as much as possible before she goes deaf. Hope the tour will be more interesting then 2017 one though (it was nice, solid but we don't need it again).

I can understand that people might be displeased but as a fellow Ayu but also Cher fan (let's better not talk about her release schedule) I am very excited for new songs and I personally am happy that WORDS and We are the QUEENS will be on the album because I really love both.

Only thing that disappoints me is the fact that it seems as if there a no new PV's for this album... I always prefer her lives but I really like her PV's too and it kinda bums me that there (at least it seems so) won't be any.

Random: she should release it a week later on my birthday xD
Well, it most likely will not end up being #1 if we look at the artists that will release something that day. Not that it matters but they could get her another #1 if they wanted to... But at this point it would just look nice and not mean too much (she's never been out of TOP5 anyway).

Okay, my post is way too long already.

I think we'll get at least one pv on YouTube, despite no dvd version for music videos

I’ll pretend it’s a single. -_-

If 2 out of 5 songs are already known : WORDS + WATQ
One will be the demo from spotify
The other one will be the one she sang today at the concert
And the third one? She said that she was recording a feminist song or something, but also we had this video of her singing with Timmy (and it wasnt in the song at the concert today)

So I def think there is more material coming, she said she was recording in the studio a lot, I cant be for 3 songs only. There is probably another mini to be released later. What a great way to milk fans :tired

This is totally possible and explains in a way why Chapter 2 isn't going to be released yet. Same with the other concerts.

How about the Team Ayu Tour 2016? Is she gonna release it?
Its not over yet people. more is coming!

It's going to be aired in WOWOW.

The only tour we haven't footage is JTB Chapter 2.

TA16 --> WOWOW
POWER OF MUSIC 2018 ---> WOWOW
JTB Chapter 1 ---> WOWOW & DVD
JTB Chapter 3 ---> DVD
CDL16-17 ---> WOWOW

TA16 is going to be aired on WOWOW???
When?

At the same time when Memorial adresse came out they were only 3 new songs so this mini album seems legit ... WATQ and words were destined to be featured on something ...
My feelings are mixed because she definitely has the time to make a full album and from what I heard of the demos they sound like rejected songs from past album ... not that I think they sound bad but they didn’t bring anything to her discography ...
I will be waiting for proper informations with the final tracklist but at the moment this lowered my excitation lol
Hope for at least a new version of We are the Queens but I doubt it happening

Ugh, this is so disappointing. I usually love mini-albums but I was expecting more than three new songs after TWO YEARS. Also, why include We are the QUEENS? :dead2 It's such a corny song and I wish it would remain as a digital single...

I can't say I'm not excited to see the covers and to listen to the new songs, but I don't feel all that magic around a new release... It's just frustrating.

LMAO I'm screaming

She released another demo on AWA (it's not the same one as what we got on spotify). Idk if that's the same one she sang at the concert. Also whatever she sang with Timmy is just background vocals, so it could appear anywhere I think haha I'll have to listen to it again and see if if would fit in any of the songs tho

So, after 2 years and 2 ok songs, she just gives us 3 new songs and, once again, pays alterna dust...

Ayu's fanbase is priceless :laugh

What a troll she is, Ayu really TROUBLEd us this time :laugh

I am guessing this will most likely end like LOVE again. It’s either that or the woman has gone completely insane. I just can’t see anyone thinking this was a good idea. What baffles me even more is why would someone do a 38 date tour to promote 3 new songs...It’s not like she is at her peak and everyone wants to go see her.

NOT 5 SONGS LMAO GOODBYE!!!!

WHAT KIND OF CONVERSATIONS WENT DOWN IN THIS DAMN MEETING LOL WHO OKAY'D THIS? MAX MATSUURA WTF ARE YOU DOING?! GATHER YOUR GIRL!
