so the new album is highly with intro - music only from Tasuku

All will depend from the direction or the style Ayu want for this album .... Tasaku and Yuta Nakano are really versatile ! I still hope they are not responsible of the entire production of this album ... I really liked A one and MIJ but something different is welcome lol

The likelihood is really high for Yukumi, tasuku, Timmy, and Yuta compositions. I don't really expect 'new' people to work with her but composition-wise I think she tends to have like at least one person that is out of the ordinary.

TODAY was kinda unique on MIJ 'cause "HAL" basically arranged it but not under the HAL name and a new person composed it. I wonder if she'll ever wrangle CMJK back to work with her or if he's too busy doing some other projects.

It kinda looks like Shun Ueno's 'big break' was TODAY since he doesn't seem to have other credits on recordings.

I don't like Yuta Nakano as an arranger. The sound is horrible when listening on a good sound device... I like his compositions, but Ayu really needs a "sound nerd" who can arrange her songs with good quality. It's not only him though, most of her songs are arranged bad for good sound devices, so I prefer to listen to most of her music via my laptop or regular headphones.

That's not really his fault, it's the person mixing or mastering that would determine how that sounds. There was a really bad job done around Party Queen due to the person in charge being different onward... and then it started to get better after a bit after A ONE?

Yes, you're right. It's the one who is mixing/mastering that's to mainly blame for that. I'm at my parents house tonight so I can't look at my CDs. But, some songs have way better sound than others on the same albums. Like on sixxxxxx, Sayonara sounds way better than Sorrows.
This is not the right thread for this, so I'll just end with that I love seeing photos of Ayu with working on new music.

I miss 14/15 tracks with 2/3 interludes album.

Those albums were also supported by singles/mini albums. I think 10-12 is gonna be her norm from now on.

MIJ was barely an album though. 8 tracks, an interlude and a bonus track.

I love seeing pics of the recording process. Looking forward to new music with Tasuku and Yuta Nakano!

I hope this time we get a real 12 songs album w interludes to make it at least 10 songs. We have waited so long!

She looks cute in that outfit.

I love the majority of Tasuku and Yuta Nakano's work, so I am even more excited for the new songs :D They are very versatile. I love that even if ayu sticks with working with some of the same people, they're able to give her a variety of songs so it's never boring. :)

Aw she looks so cute here. While scrolling I initially thought this was some random shot from her poker face cd cover photo shoot and wondered why it was posted lol. She looks like her younger self here!

But then on the other hand, which album includes 8 songs which haven’t been released before, nor in commercials or as digital releases. I think 8 brand new songs is huge! Just the size of the album is so short and I really don’t like it

Party Queen had 9 new tracks :D Only Party queen and how beautiful you are were performed/released before the album was releases.

Right... but the party was over after the 4th track...

^And then came 10 master pieces so I don't see the problem lol :D

Haaa yeah I guess you’re right. Still I think this isn’t always the case! =P

is she hinting new song will be "LOVE IS ALL" with that tshirt though
