New album 'Love songs' & Ayu-produced single 'Dream ON' 12/22 [IV]
 
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.

Tasked 14th November 2010 09:27 AM

this PV they're filming. We've seen so many pieces of the set. Maybe they're not all for one PV, but... it seems to be HUGE! Besides, the filming takes a long time, usually it's just a few days.. I hope we'll get something special =)

ngagang 14th November 2010 09:36 AM

Ayu's outfit looks cool!

Shirlaay 14th November 2010 09:42 AM

ahahaha, peace sign!! -
The setting looks pretty damn good,
I hope she comes up with something epic.

Bigtop 14th November 2010 09:47 AM

Could be really interesting when it comes out...

GREENdays 14th November 2010 11:57 AM

This all looks so interesting, I'm actually pretty excited to see how the PV(s) turn out!

I've got high hopes for Love Songs, despite that mediocre name :)

ownsarai 14th November 2010 01:49 PM

I can't wait for the Dream ON PV now, I hope Ayu shows off some sweet dance moves! :D

Pieces_of_SEVEN 14th November 2010 05:20 PM

The one pic looks like it's from the set of curtain call.

Melodie 14th November 2010 06:39 PM

The album will be airing on all Tokio sex-shops on december 3rd to promote the sales before the release. Ayu stated that "sex-shop buyers are very potential for an artist like me". She also declared that will be touring early december singing her two promotional songs for the new album on big shopping centers like Carrefour and Ikea. She declared on her Twitter: "I'm very excited for that since I'm always singing on big stadiums and arenas. I want to try something new, so let's sing between apples and tables!!"

Sex-shops? Ayu?
You find the strangest things on Wikipedia.

Learn how to spell Tokyo, morons.

OMG hahaha!

Troll, but funny one :P

Melodie 14th November 2010 07:30 PM

I just find it funny that a person who posts an article on the English Wiki wouldn't spell the words correctly.
And besides...
If you're making a claim to know the truth, at least make it believable.

Tasked 14th November 2010 07:44 PM

in my country it's 'tokio' aswell.. but that's still wrong! Before it was changed, dutch people also said Peking instead of Beijing o.O

Yukitora 14th November 2010 07:47 PM

The old romanization of Tokyo used to be Tokio in English as well.

rakeru 14th November 2010 08:08 PM

Singing in Carrefour and Ikea? lol, no store would be grand enough for her!

Picaflor 7/4 14th November 2010 08:19 PM

all I can think of it "tokio hotel". lol

Kazeyomi 14th November 2010 08:30 PM

Lol @ the fake article.
There would be more funny (I mean really funny not lame haters-articles) articles like that, when a new album is coming out :laugh.

Kanzaki 14th November 2010 08:35 PM

Tokio Hotel is german. Apparently quite a few countries spell Tokyo, Tokio, which doesn't make it wrong, but perhaps annoying.

Apples and tables? Obvious trolls are getting more obvious :laugh

They're just different dialects. Beijing is 'pekin' in Japanese as well.

jbrat2219 14th November 2010 08:52 PM

If you look at the hiragana, it's toukyou. there is no "ki". But if that's the way your country spells it then that's the way it is. I mean, we call Japan "Japan" and they call it "nihon." Stuff like that is different depending on where you are.

Keiichi_JPU 14th November 2010 09:36 PM

People are discussing the way "Tokio" is written?!

IF you're gonna discuss something from an obviously fake rumor, discuss the sex-shop part!! :laugh

And let us not forget that Ayu's ex-bf is in a band that's called TOKIO.

ownsarai 14th November 2010 10:51 PM

^That's the first thing I thought of when I saw Tokio, haha.
Ayu promoting her new album in sex-shops eh? Interesting. This I gotta see! :P
Yea, the trolls are trying way too hard now. XD

emi♡ 14th November 2010 11:49 PM

But it's wrong in this case, because it's very blatantly obvious that they WANTED to spell it that way.

Trolls are overly obsessive that way. Even if it is spelled like that in your native language...I dont think I ever see anyone spell it that way lol


^ yeah LoL Having a quote from Ayu about the sex shops was trying a bit too hard.

Mirrorcle Monster 15th November 2010 12:07 AM

At first i was so excited thinking that we could get the album on December 3rd xD

Pieces_of_SEVEN 15th November 2010 12:11 AM

^^What do yu mean?

freedreamer 15th November 2010 01:26 AM

Is that for reeal? Lol...3rd December is so early...and so the 'Love' in "Love songs" are about...?? HAHAHAH

pepper 15th November 2010 01:51 AM

/in my language there is a Tokio word cause Tokyo in polish would sound stupid (TOKEYO or something like that lol), just saying, mhm/

majrakun 15th November 2010 02:26 AM

Ayu, please give us some more updates! Look at what we have succumbed to, discussing about Tokyo's spelling :laugh

Peruseusu 15th November 2010 02:33 AM

thx ^^

pepper 15th November 2010 02:34 AM

^ yeah, It's only a month till realease (and a few days, i know i know shhhh)
give me tracklist T____T

adantatu2 15th November 2010 02:46 AM

Probably we can get the tracklist and covers in the first week of december.
be patient,
plz good covers good covers !!!

Kazeyomi 15th November 2010 02:55 AM

^
I want those S/S covers that somebody photoshopped with Ayu wearing a Santa's costume with a christmas tree as Love songs covers. They were hilarious :laugh

Tony G 15th November 2010 04:01 AM

I prefer no news. Well, I am waiting on everything so it doesn't matter to me but I think all the news with R'n'R and updates and spoilers in TeamAyu and such was really bad.

Like NEXT LEVEL? I think you mean like all of Ayu's albums ever except MY STORY? I think she usually does this and only recently we've sort of been aware of how close to the deadline she works on things. (see NEXT LEVEL through now = when she started tweeting/blogging a lot)

ストロボ・EdGE 15th November 2010 07:38 AM

I think we can all agree that Ayu works excellent under pressure and crazy time limits.

emi♡ 15th November 2010 08:10 AM

^I dont think a lot of people would agree with that lol

since they're forever complaining about how things are rushed.

Honestly...i dont care anymore, I just want the album.

Well I mean like, JEWEL for example is a song that almost everyone loves and that was made during Secret which was super rush rush rush. So even if she does things "last minute" and rushed, she can still deliver.

It seems no matter what she does people will say it's rushed anyway.

love in music 15th November 2010 08:18 AM

the lack of news really does suck big time. I don't think I'll ever get used to her news being released so sloppily.

Why is it sloppy? She's still busy recording now. I won't be surprised if song titles haven't been decided yet, and even if they are, ayu will probably wait till everything has been recorded and arranged and finalised before she listens to them all and decides on the flow and tracklist. We'd probably not see the tracklist for another 1-2 weeks.

Kanzaki 15th November 2010 08:23 AM

Maybe she wants it done this way specifically...she likes to surprise and tease us? And lets not forget Ayu's a last minute do'er and she often changes her mind. If she wants to change anything, she may want to wait for a very long time before it's official. To ensure she doesn't change her mind suddenly.

I'm just speculating.

I just don't like how they announce her stuff nowadays. with other artists when they are going to release a new album the tracklist/covers will be out within a week or so of the announcement or just on the day of the announcement. it's not like "NEW ALBUM" then 4-6 weeks later finally get the tracklist and maybe one of the covers. :dead2 ayu is the only japanese artist I know of that has her releases like that. it's just annoying to me.

i expect the same too..something's gonna happen on early dec maybe but let's wait patiently, we've already been blessed receiving 2 albums within the same year

truehappiness 15th November 2010 08:44 AM

I think Ayu's team has always done large spurts of information. It's just how they've done it unless release dates are really squished together. (fairyland -> HEAVEN, & -> forgiveness, crossroad -> L) They announce a release date and then space everything out afterward. I don't really have a problem with it because I'm rather used to it.

I am a bit worried though since by now we should at least have a CM tie up considering there's only a month and a half until release and we had Microphone and Don't look back earlier this year about two months before Rock'n'Roll Circus' release date.

Lol I guess it can be irritating when you're itching for new stuff. But because I don't really follow ayu's release pattern, I'm ok with it. I listen to ayu's music at my own pace, when I feel like I've fully appreciated one release, then I move on to the next one. I'm still here being amazed at crossroad now, haven't even listened to L yet (it's still waiting in its nice plastic wrapping lol!!) So having to wait 1-2 months more for the new album isn't torture for me. :P

True... I didn't even think about it until you wrote it. It would be fun with something, at least a 15 s CM or something.
To be honest I haven't given this new album so much energy yet. With R'n'RC epic news came out like everyday. With this I kind of keep on forgeting that's she's about to release a new album. :P Lol, maybe the album title killed my excitement. No, I think I will be pumped-up when information and leaks starts to pour out.

Lol not much of willpower. Just not wanting my appreciation of music to get rushed by releases. Esp when she comes out with them as quickly as this. I wasn't even over the epic-ness of MOON/blossom when crossroad and L started coming out, so I was like "I've already shown my support for ayu's no 1 streak and bought the new CDs. the new songs and PVs are not going anywhere, so they can just wait patiently till I'm ready to listen to them."

It's a good strategy to adopt if you don't like waiting for new info to come out. Take your time and savour the old ones! :D

Melodie 15th November 2010 12:24 PM

^That's admirable. I'm a curious creature, I wouldn't survive.
Though it's my goal not to look at anything Love Songs related until I receive my copy. I want to put it in my stereo the moment it gets here, and relax while listening to the awesomeness that I hope the album will be.
Fingers crossed :x

xD I am curious as well, still I don't feel the need to know everything right away, but when something comes out/leaks I need to hear it right away, even though it might take weeks to digest it :innocent

Is anyone, except me, waiting for ayu trance 4 even more impatiently than for Love songs? xD

Yesterday I listened to ayu remixes and I want her new trance album to be released so baaaad.

jbrat2219 15th November 2010 08:29 PM

I think I am impatient for them both equally but Love songs was announced first so I feel more impatient for that one lately.

rakeru 15th November 2010 08:47 PM

I'm always more excited to hear more songs, instead of new versions of old songs. Still, I really like the Trance albums and will definitely get this new one.

love in music 15th November 2010 08:57 PM

I appreciate all the single songs already :yes. I seriously hope the album tracks are as strong.. but I know it'll be hard because these singles contain some of my favorite ayu songs ever. her album tracks are usually really strong too though so I do have high expectations! I notice with her vocals in the single tracks, this is already shaping up to be one of her stronger albums vocally. she hasn't sounded this pure and beautiful in her ballads since 2006/2007

Kazeyomi 15th November 2010 09:07 PM

I don't know why, but I have big expectations for this album this time. More than for RnRC.
The singles has a strong MY STORY-feeling imho and MY STORY is my second favourite Ayu album ever, so.. I'm excited :D.

jbrat2219 15th November 2010 09:14 PM

So we'll get more information on this album in at least two weeks? I really hope so, I've been busy with school so I haven't really been thinking about it for once.

Pieces_of_SEVEN 15th November 2010 09:53 PM

I can't believe that the USB is still in stock at CDJ... they must have more than 30 left!

yeah, I think the singles this time are a lot stronger than RnRC too so it's more exciting. MOON, Virgin Road, crossroad are so much >>> Sunset, BALLAD, You were... imo. as long as she can pull off some amazing upbeat songs like there are in RnRC this album can totally top it.

hell's_belle 15th November 2010 10:46 PM

I actually haven't thought about this album since I ordered it. I'm just not excited in the slightest. She built hype VERY well for RnRC, I wish she was doing that for this album

NintendoHTF1242 15th November 2010 11:00 PM

I seriously love how the start of this topic is over Tokyo and Tokio LOL <3

Yes.. that's it.
So.. if someone say, it is wrong to write "Tokio" instead of "Tokyo", than I have too ask, why in english, it is "cologne"... it's "Köln"... and not "Bavaria".. its "Bayern". Than I also can say, it is wrong spelling.
It only depents on, how is the official spelling in the country. And.. in germany.. we write it "Tokio".

And to be on the real thread... with Pic you guys where talking about, which could be a pic from the PV? The one with the guy from Virgin Road-PV?

Pieces_of_SEVEN 15th November 2010 11:08 PM

are we seriously still talking about this?
this is a thread about ayu's new album.

who cares about the romanization.

i agree. we need to move on. although i think tokyo is correct because, it's not toh-kee-oh. it's toh-kyou. if you type tou-kyou you get the correct kanji. 東京 but if i tried typing tou ki you (like how they are saying it's "tokio"). I get some randomized kanji crap. 冬季用.

Pieces_of_SEVEN 15th November 2010 11:17 PM

^^They sold out, but recently somehow got more in.

gallowsCalibrator 15th November 2010 11:26 PM

I thought I was going to buy the special edition, but I guess not D: I think I'll settle for the CD+DVD :D

Pieces_of_SEVEN 15th November 2010 11:27 PM

^^Hope you don't regret it later! lol

Aw, I see :yes.
I don't know if try to get the limited edition or just buy the CD+DVD from YA.
I wanna have a chance to get a prize lol.
I want the limited edition, but I'll not regret that much If I can't get it. I regretted the RnRC box more instead ;_;

You haven't even seen it yet.. Maybe the Love Songs box is the most awesome box EVER.

That sucks for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere! It's not Autumn for us until February! xDD

I'm feeling more hyped about AT4 than LS today, wish we had at least a little news about that one!

I do wonder what kinds of CM Ayu will get for LS....hope it's at least 1-2 magazine ads and maybe something with RIMMEL. That would be pretty cool! I don't think we've seen a Japanese RIMMEL ad yet, have we? We get their ads sometimes here in Australia but their model is totally BUTT UGLY.

A gorgeous ad with Ayu on it....I wish we would get something like that on TV here.... :headache

Cherry Dynamite 16th November 2010 06:08 AM

If the boxset is ugly and if the DVD doesn't have the 'making of' I would totally throw a fit.
I'm just hoping it'll be better than the R'n'RC boxset.

Pieces_of_SEVEN 16th November 2010 06:16 AM

^^Why didn't you like the R'n'RC boxset?
I thought it was awesome

Cherry Dynamite 16th November 2010 06:21 AM

^ It's not that I didn't like it, it just looks so plain to me.

the box design could have been way much better

ownsarai 16th November 2010 06:47 AM

Oh geez are you guys going to complain about a BOX design? It's a BOX. >.=
Anyway...I'm glad to hear they added more of the limited editions, even though I cannot afford to get it myself. I'll stay with my CD+DVD pre-order. ^_=
I cannot wait for track lists/covers. I bet they are going to be so gorgeous! I hope Ayu blows everyone away with these covers and shuts all the non-believers up for once in their lives.

Heavenly 16th November 2010 06:48 AM

i bought the limited edition, because i can buy the CD or CD+DVD later, but i can't buy the box later, unless i spent all my money XD (there are some RnRC boxes on eBay, but they're around ~€200 x_x)

:yes :yes :yes

Mirrorcle Monster 16th November 2010 08:30 AM

It' just one month and six days left for the release, we should get the covers soon!

brener 16th November 2010 09:06 AM

I think "Love songs" will be written in an italic font on the cover, because of the feeling of a ballad album.... u know, all her last ballad singles had the title on its cover wrote in an italic font and most of the albuns / singles when they are themed in "love", the artists use italic and light colours fonts...

truehappiness 16th November 2010 09:50 AM

Masashi Muto's Twitter mentioned something about doing 4 PVs in one week in LA...

So... perhaps he did Dream ON and all three album PVs for Love songs?

Aderianu 16th November 2010 09:58 AM

I don't like US PV's ... but I think that's good for Ayu
all shooting done, I think she complete all records in the studio this week
and than, many time for promotion, TV and magazines

Weird Luis Hernandez isn't doing any, though he might be co-directing.

No, no, no - here's my guess: Dream ON, Last angel, plus, I think, two additional new songs from the album that are supposed to have a music video.

Mami-chan 16th November 2010 12:21 PM

I want the limited edition so badly but it's really too much expensive for me. I don't have enough money so I can only buy the cd+dvd one ;_;
Anyway, I have a good feeling with this albums ^^ I think Ayu wants to communicate so many feelings with this last work ^^
