New album 'Love songs' & Ayu-produced single 'Dream ON' 12/22 [III]
 
Tracklist information
Spoiler:
- 8 new songs are planned for the album (though they left one out it seems since the total amount of songs is 15 and they have 6 at the moment with all A-sides... 8 + 6 =/= 15.)
- 3 new PVs, one for Last angel and two for new album tracks
- microSD+USB+DVD+photobook edition is limited
- microSD's audio files are made to be played on Japanese cellphones only at the moment according to CDJapan. (the video clips as well) (http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/faq/
(See the SDaudio section.)

Quote:

Can you save data in different formats such as audio, video, still pictures and documents on a single SD card?
Yes, you can save data in different formats as long as the card has sufficient memory capacity. However, to play or transfer the data you will need equipment that is compatible with the appropriate data format such as SD-Audio, SD-Video and SD Document.
- .wav files on USB are to be approximately 278 times better quality than the ones on the CD, likely to be digital masters of the songs, also includes regular .aiff files
- microSD+USB+DVD+photobook edition will be housed in a 3 fold LP-sized packaging like the following image but LP-sized instead of CD-sized.

I wonder if we'll get any info about the TA shop today... :-\

And thanks for the new thread~:)

hud 4th November 2010 10:39 PM

Thanks! I love your threads.

I wonder when we'll get the covers + tracklist :P

ownsarai 4th November 2010 10:41 PM

I really am curious to see the covers. I hope they are gorgeous! And I secretly wish Leslie Kee/ND Chow shot them without our knowledge, haha.

pepper 4th November 2010 10:41 PM

I want tracklist so much! It's my favorite thing to see xD
Cause I will not listen to any preview, and I will not read this threads after covers & tracklists :>

truehappiness 4th November 2010 11:47 PM

It seems Ayu brought her usual staff (Yuta Nakano and CMJK) to LA with her for this album~ CMJK posted a few photos of him eating In-N-Out, haha.

I guess we'll probably get mostly Yuta/Tetsuya as composers for this album?

ownsarai 4th November 2010 11:50 PM

Oh man, now I want In-n-Out burger.
*shake fist* DAMN YOU CMJK!

bluegie 5th November 2010 12:45 AM

Is In-N-Out good? Hmmn.. too bad Canada doesn't have it (or at least where I live) :no

I have one across the street from my university. They're amazingly good....but you can really only eat it once in a loooooooong while. It gets sickening pretty quickly if you eat it often.

anyway....Ayu was in L.A again? @_@ Interesting.

Max_ZZZ 5th November 2010 03:47 AM

where can i still buy the usb??

Kazeyomi 5th November 2010 03:56 AM

I don't get the lucky draw thing. Lol I know, I'm stupid sry :laugh so will 100 persons only get the lucky draw? Or is it just a CDJapan thing?

I can't wait for the tracklist though. I can't wait for speculate which interludes they are :D

jbrat2219 5th November 2010 04:03 AM

I'd be shocked if I got a prize... All my years of Ayu fandom, NOTHING xD;. But Ayu's music is gift enough for me.

rakeru 5th November 2010 04:19 AM

^I know, right? I'd be weeping with joy for a sticker. I wonder if I'd secretly frame it... lol!

waterballoon 5th November 2010 06:01 AM

I hope the covers would be gorgeous. I can't wait for December to start lol so we can get info like rollin' in

JackieRos 5th November 2010 11:03 AM

most probably you can't because they are only readable/playable on japanese mobile phone (based on the explanation by CDJapan)..........

freedreamer 5th November 2010 03:46 PM

I seriously doubt it. I really don't get why people think this is going to happen. it's just a cover song plus the site already updated with the single songs that'll be on the album, if SDW was going to be there I think they'd tell us along with those a-sides.

I keep picturing the covers using lots of pink. -__- Which is not good.

still doubt it, but okay lol

I imagine the covers to be like.. really plain. probably ayu just sitting on a chair like the Moments cover or something. whatever it is, we can be sure there will be dramatic people here saying it's worse than the S/S covers.

No, he's saying it will be track 15.
I don't want this either! But I still think it might happen, unfortunately.
If it doesn't, I'll be sooo surprised and delighted.

But they may not have mentioned it on the website because it is not an a-side (just like RED LINE).

Yukitora 5th November 2010 04:55 PM

omg how many times does the SDW argument has to be played out? I've counted 5 times at least!

Ugh I'm so anxious to see the tracklist ;3; Come on Ayu xDD

Sirea 6th November 2010 02:59 AM

Ah... the singles released thus far have basically gotten me through this past season, and a rough time I've been having, so it'll be great to have them all together on one album plus some new material. Ayu is so inspiring, and her music has a way of fitting my emotions so well; I have no doubt this album will be wonderful as usual... I can't wait.

TeddyGrahams 6th November 2010 03:49 AM

^ Amen to that. Can't wait for this album.

Does Ayu have a Ping account? On her itunes Ping account, she listed some artists she likes, and Sarah Brailles was one of them (had a song called Love Songs). Idk if her account is real thou :(

BluishDays 6th November 2010 04:54 AM

I kind of like the song...but it has no place on Love songs.
It has it's place on crossroad, and there are two acoustic versions of it. OF A COVER.
So...just let it be. I don't even care if there is an "album version" on Love songs...I will still be upset.

It was basically for the whole Seven Days Final R'n'RC concerts...so just leave it there.

If people want it that badly they can spend 1000 yen on the crossroad single.

SURREAL__RAINBOW 6th November 2010 05:58 AM

I wouldn't be surprised either if it is in the album or not. And it wouldn't bother me either way x)


I'm getting more excited about the album!!! I want ANY info asap :cry

might get tracklist soon.
covers won't come until later.

then we can speculate on which tracks are interludes...oh, what fun... [/sarcasm]

Zeke. 6th November 2010 06:34 AM

I thought SDW would be included specifically because it was so special for the 7 Day Live but then I thought about the whole project and it would make sense to keep it coupled only with the singles project. But I still would not be surprised if it showed up on the album.

Pieces, you better just accept that it might be on the album so you aren't disappointed when/if it shows up there. Lol.

^ Exactly. If you're expecting one thing, more often than not it's the complete opposite with them.

Shirlaay 6th November 2010 12:35 PM

Am excited for the tracklist and covers! I hope this'll be an epic win.

Pieces_of_SEVEN 6th November 2010 06:43 PM

Going to try my HARDEST NOT to listen to ANY chaku-uta previews for the new songs. I did it for NEXT LEVEL and R'n'RC and I thought they all sounded horrible. Then of course, I got my album, and everything was AMAZINGGGGGGG.

Since I'm sure my albums will be here on release date, I almost want to not even know the tracklist and covers until they arrive...I'm not sure if I'm that strong though. haha

jbrat2219 6th November 2010 07:03 PM

^ I don't think any of us are that strong!

koumori 6th November 2010 07:10 PM

^ I managed to do it, apart from looking at cover leaks...it's possible, kinda..!...but it's hard :laugh

love in music 6th November 2010 07:16 PM

I really want to try not listening to album previews or watch the PV's until christmas (so it really can be like a christmas present from ayu). I cave so easily though.. and I'd have to probably stay away from here but I'm way too curious about what's going on with ayu. meh.

jbrat2219 6th November 2010 07:17 PM

I have been getting worse and worse at waiting. It use to be, Ayu's album was announced, I'd buy it and I would see the tracklist/listen to songs when I got it. But ever since I joined AHS, I'm listening to leaks, on the site every day for the slightest update about coversssss, PVssssss etc. xD; I have no will power anymore.

The few chaku uta previews I managed not to listen became some of my favorite songs ! It sounds so greater when you get something completely new ! I'll try my best too for Love songs, I hope we'll succeed !xD

pepper 6th November 2010 07:39 PM

I think if SDW would be included, they would put this on infro from the very beginning, just sayin' Oo...

Together when... covers where very nice, but very "single" covers. Same with trilogy singles.. Plain, but very "single" like... I think it will be FAR from our predictions xD
Not sayin it will be something good.. I prefer her singles than album covers... In fact i like mostly her compilation albums covers the most (BEST, BEST II, A BALLADS) so I'm not "OMG THEY MUST BE AMAZING" cause i know that they will not : P But i think they will be far from our predictions (maybe something will surprise us? who knows, I was surprised how LAME (miss) covers were XDDDDDDDD)

I hope only they will not be WHITE/LIGHT pink/LIGHT blue. Please. And not wintery.

Since I'm sure my albums will be here on release date, I almost want to not even know the tracklist and covers until they arrive...I'm not sure if I'm that strong though. haha

YOU CAN DO IT! I will do it for sure this time. I mean, opening the entire package on Christmas day is going to be such a RUSH! It's gonna be so sweet.

You mean the same way they told us that RED LINE was going to included in R'n'RC?

AngelSenshi 6th November 2010 07:55 PM

With me I never listen to chaku utas; I do see covers and tracklists though and when I do listen to any of the songs before the release date it's when a PV preview comes out, this is because I like seeing the two together right away sort of, and because usually PV previews are at least medium quality. I do this with all of her releases, not just the albums :)

Krushnic 6th November 2010 07:55 PM

I'm anxious to see the covers!

Yukitora 6th November 2010 08:30 PM

I think the best way is to go on vacation (which I happen to be doing, yay!)

I was on vacation when You were.../BALLAD was being released, and I became SO uninterested in the single I didn't even download it til January, didn't watch the PVs til RnRC, only watched the live perfs last month (I didn't know they existed), but I still fell in both with both songs xD

ohsixthirty 6th November 2010 08:44 PM

i'm going to listen to every chaku-uta, look at every picture, and every single leak of any sort there is before the album comes out!!!

hahaha!

i would never try to exercise "self-contro" when it comes to Ayu.

I don't think I'll bother with chaku uta mic previews.. I mean seriously, they BUTCHER the songs. I remember thinking some were just terrible, and in full they wound up being some of my favorite songs. It's like if you listen to ayu songs through crappy laptop speakers, they sound terrible.

me too! I don't really care about it lol I need stuff!

I always listen to previews, even though they aren't enough, it's enough to get an idea about the composition and stuff....just not the feel of the song, which is probably more important...

pepper 6th November 2010 09:42 PM

^ was listening to them, but mostly it was "wtf is this?" and when the hq comes, i still got the "meh" feeling inside me. IT RUINED my thoughts of so many music! SRSLY! (XDDD)

But yeah, it stays in some way inside... I will only download PV's and the HQ rip of album. I dont care about the pics, i will look at them<3 But i will not download anything before that.

hud 6th November 2010 09:59 PM

I used to hear all the mic previews but some of them ruined the songs for me. And as pepper said, when the hq comes out I still got the "meh" feeling.

So for Love songs I'm thinking of not listen to anything.

noisy_harmony 6th November 2010 10:13 PM

I haven't heard any of audio previews for crossroad and L singles and watched any of PV previews (rather short versions, cough) for L. And I'm really glad now that I did it. It surely hasn't ruined some things for me. I'm not going to care for any previews and leaks for an upcoming album either.

Mirrorcle Monster 6th November 2010 10:27 PM

I would love to ignore all the leaks but i know i won't be able

Kazeyomi 6th November 2010 11:17 PM

I'd like to don't listen to any preview until my copy arrive.
But I don't think I will able to do it :laugh I'm too weak. I'm envy of you guys :D you're strong!

pepper 6th November 2010 11:23 PM

The pretty example is crossroad for me. I can feel it's an amazing song, but when i heard preview it was THAT lame for me, so I can't feel the "awesomeness" of crossroad. I heard L almost fully HQ ... and I LOVE IT!

Picaflor 7/4 6th November 2010 11:24 PM

I never ignore leaks. Especially if I end up buying the single before hearing the songs. What if I get all this energy up to stay away from it all, and build up all this enthusiasm and after getting my single, I end up absolutely hating the song? I rarely ever "absolutely hate" any song, but there is always that slim possibility, or I end up intensely disliking it, like it's bold & delicious part 2 or something. then I'd be like ":grumpy I wasted ____ dollars for this?!"

pepper 7th November 2010 12:23 AM

^ thats why i never preorder music. I only buy things i really like it.
I dont care about limited things, etc.

[_jo_] 7th November 2010 12:24 AM

What I do is to hear the songs when album leaks, I hate previews so never hear to them, but NEVER see videos until I got the DVD

Keiichi_JPU 7th November 2010 12:25 AM

I don't listen to the Chaku-uta's and don't download leaks, but the only pleasure I give myself is to watch the official CM on her website :) they always get me so excited!

good plan. Maybe I'll do that.
In order to avoid covers and tracklists, I'd pretty much have to avoid AHS altogether. Not sure if I wanna do that. Lol you guys would miss me too much.

pepper 7th November 2010 12:33 AM

I think it's pretty hard to avoid COVERS, cause they will be not only on ahs ;d
if I would do so, I should delete Ayu fanpage on facebook, tumblr, etc~

nanakopy87 7th November 2010 01:07 AM

i don't mind to listen to the leaks for this album since it will release in christmas month (i'm sure that the delivery will not be as efficient as normal day.it would be slower than normal days).i don't want and i don't like to wait XD

It is currently sold out at CDJapan and YesAsia but it's still available for preorder at Amazon Japan. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/switch-la...language=en_JP. It may also become available when PlayAsia puts their preorder links up for the album but I wouldn't hold my breath as this is a limited edition item.

This happened with me too ^_^. And I love you were.../BALLAD. This year I won't be on vacation but I'll avoid every preview, except CM and covers =). I love to feel the expectation ^^
