Wow some interesting development. So "five new PVs" would mean Feel the love, Merry-go-round, Angel, Lelio, and XOXO then?

It's unthinkable that Pray isn't getting a PV, but she may be keeping this as a new PV to announce at the last minute, so you know, like, oh hey I totally said that there's going to be five new PVs but surpRISE here's two extra PVs for Pray and Hello new me yaaay (although chances are the song isn't getting a PV; she's disappointed me before, she'd do it again).

And by the way, the album's going to be called 4EVA LURV

Pray is generic as hell, it's like they took the blandest parts of her discography and threw them together.

Generic doesn't have to be bad I guess, but I'm always surprised when people praise that track lol.

Really? I feel like Pray has a better arrangement. The arrangement is the biggest reason I even like the song lol.

It doesn't surprise me. Fans always complain that they want something new and fresh but them something super generic comes out and they praise it to high Heaven :laugh. Even though I like Pray and Hello new me a little bit, I still don't find them that interesting at all. Something to listen to on a nice, sunny day in the park I suppose?

Pray is slightly growing on me... It's not inoffensive, but my initial thoughts were that it was reject J-pop ballad fare that Yuna Ito would sing. The distinct Ayu pathos is not there. For me, that song is the quintessential example of Ayu "going through the motions."

Very accurate description!

+1

Both these ^ descriptions are very accurate. Nice for a listen or two at the park, that's it lol.

6. What is forever love (rock)
7. Terminal (rock+trance, produced by Fedde Le Grand)
8. Love Is Forever (interlude)
9. Angel (power ballad)
10. Pray
11. Hello new me
12. Merry-go-round
13. NOW & 4EVA (produced by Armin van Buuren, EDM with a concert-ender feeling)

+ tour setlist

1. XOXO
2. Sparkle (remix)
3. lady LOVE

I don't like Pray either. It's so long and isn't catchy.

I prefer Hello new me to Pray, it feels more honest and much less pretentious.
Though Pray still has the "Ayu factor" (that chorus is pure Ayu ballad), it's really safe. But it's pretty. I usually don't complain about prettiness. If it's not misplaced, that's it.

I'd be quite happy if Tell All was a bonus track.

Super excited. I wish there would be more songs but if these 6 will be great and long lasting, it could be cool.

I guess that it's either that the rock song didn't get in or that one of the producers made it so it's one of the 6 songs.

I pre-ordered the blu ray version anyway. =)

No, I think her team (Yuta Nakano mainly) could have done the rock track. There are six new songs and only five producers. Assuming they each got one song, there's room for the rock that she mentioned in the interview.

OH right there were 5 producers. So the rock song should be one of them.

I really want to hear this rock song

I am not sure if a ballad is supposed to be catchy at all...

I just feel like it could've been richer?

I just hope they don't consider Hello new me as rock...:dead2

I have been positively dying for an Ayu rock song. However, if they didn't give the rock song a PV then I'm not going to put a ton of faith into it. Usually those songs demand attention. Although, reminds me didn't have a PV and it's amazing. Sending mail was great too. However, I am craving a track in the vein of Microphone / 1LOVE , etc.

I think when she was talking about how 'there would be ballads' after she heard the reactions to Pray, I think she was specifically talking about Hello new me.

sending mail is amazing & creative with a specific idea in mind, but I too want an empowering rock track like 1 LOVE, Microphone, talkin' 2 myself etc.

How do we know the rock song doesn't have the PV, though? I literally can't remember the last time we got a proper rock song. Was it Microphone?

I like to think of reminds me as pretty rocky. Same for Bye-bye darling or snowy kiss... at least IMO.

I am still a little saddened by the fact that snowy kiss ended up being a part of the You & Me trilogy along with Wake me up. We could have had some crazy PVs.

Same here.
