ayu is officially the biggest troll in the J-pop music scene.

Make that the entire Pop music scene. What has she done in the last year or so that can NOT be seen as trolling at least parts of her fanbase?

デビュー15周年に向けて5ヶ月連続リリース決定！
第一弾として、11月8日（木）にミニ・アルバム『LOVE』を発売！！
デビュー15周年記念日である2013年4月8日に向け、毎月8日に自身初となる5ヶ月連続リリースが決定！
その第一弾として、書き下ろし新曲3曲「Song 4 u」「Melody」「Missing」と、大ヒット曲「You & Me」のリミックスなど含む全12ver.入りミニ・アルバム『LOVE』をリリース！
「Song 4 u」は、11月1日発売のゲーム「テイルズオブエクシリア2」のテーマソングに決定しており、9月23日に幕張メッセで開催された“東京ゲームショウ20 12”にて楽曲が初解禁された際には、熱狂的なテイルズ・ファンから大歓声で迎えられた。昨年の「prog ress」に続く「テイルズオブ」シリーズとのコラボレーションで、壮大な世界観と疾走感溢れる楽曲はまさにファンの期待を裏切らないものとなっている。「Melody」は、星野靖彦氏作曲によるミディアム・バラードで、心に響く歌詞と一聴したら忘れないメロディはまさにayuバラードの真骨頂。「Missing」は、数多くのヒット曲を生み出してきた原一博氏作曲のロックテイスト溢れる切ないミディアム・ナンバーとなっており、3曲ともayuの魅力が存分に発揮された楽曲に仕上がっている。さらに、今年の夏を席巻し現在もヒット中の「Yo u & Me」の大沢伸一、Remo-conによるリミックスほか、全12ヴァージョンを収録！
このミニ・アルバムを皮切りに、12月8日（土）、1月8日（火）、2月8日（金）、3月8日（金）と、5 作連続怒濤のリリース！！

Excuse me while I go vomit.

One release in a month, thats pretty cool

see? There is only one making on dvd. I bet cd only version will have code for second

Sweet this is more of an extended single, but I guess avex wants more cash. Can't wait!

So, they are releasing an album each month on the 8th until April?

Eh... don't worry.

Anyway, it's mentioning that every 8th will have releases on them. Not necessarily a new album each month though.

Is is stated anywhere that it is going to be five mini albums? Or we could get something else? Maybe the March the 8th release is a full album and April 8th A BEST 3

lame

JUJU has a best album coming out the same week, so get to work avex!!

The release dates are all very odd (Saturdays, Fridays, etc) so it's not just albums that will be coming out.

^ Im telling you... no new album every month... lol
I wish she would have done something like kuu did with the 12 singles...

also, only on of them is on a Sat.. the rest fall pretty early in the week... except like two..

but oh well... I hope this ends in something epic where the last release is a major album and sells like a million copies... ::dreams::

She should make a mini movie.

Maybe she's a good actress like the koda muahaha

Hesitant about the track list but excited that finally - a new Ayu release! Hoping for better quality than the "Song 4 u" preview, though, but I doubt Ayu will disappoint. Even in the darkest moments she has been able to deliver for me. :)

maybe they all will be different items

This is exactly what I'm concerned about as far as the formatting of this release. What if this is really a single with a cover up of being called a mini-album and all of the original mixes end up on her next album? I personally don't purchase her singles because all of the songs end up on her album so I'd be pissed if I bought this under the impression that the songs would be exclusive to this release because it's a "mini album" and then when the full release of her album comes out, these songs would be on there since it's formatted as single. To be honest, I think I'm going to wait until she announces her next full album to purchase this just in case they try to pull some funny stuff.

Yes... I dont mind minis but I hate when people put the same stuff that was on the mini and then put it on an album!

Also! emi... going back to A single... I think thats where the term maxi single came from, yes? because avex didnt want to call it a mini or ep?

There have been "maxi singles" since the 1970s. A famous Jpop example before Ayu's debut is SPEED's ALL MY TRUE LOVE

This album better get no. 1 or else we'll get a new "mini album" on Dec 8. :roflmao

Some song updates:

Melody is an inspirational medium ballad composed by Yasuhiko Hoshino.

Missing is a rock flavored medium tune by Kazuhiro Hara.
