Ah that was the artist she did a song for. Can't wait to hear it. =)

According to the link you gave, the song is called My Way and Ayu will be rapping(!!!)

lol why does she only collab with has-beens and nobodies...

and she's gonna rap? sighs. i'm sure the end product will be a nice, catchy or otherwise ridiculous song and all but... that's not what i listen to ayu for.

ayu can you please just ditch m-flo collabs and m-flo producin' your shit and get back to making dramatic music again. for the love of god. :(

interesting. ^^

Who care if there are has been seriously ? lol look forward for this ! This song is a parenthesis it's not like it was for her own record...

i think i'm just annoyed because Merry-go-round is basically already an m-flo loves song. :laugh m-flo composed it, ayu sang it, verbal rapped it, taku takahashi produced it... it's the same exact formula this time again. and that one already made it onto an ayumi hamasaki release, and i wouldn't be surprised at all if she stuck this new song onto the end of her next album. actually, i'll be surprised if she DOESN'T wedge it on as an after-thought bonus track with no concern as to whether it fits the album in question.

it bothers me because m-flo's production is so glaringly different from ayu's. and i like some of m-flo's stuff, but i'd like that sound to stay separate from ayu because i listen to ayu for the huge, dramatic productions tbh.

At least is something new :)
But i think is obviously we prefer a new Ayumi Hamasaki's song

^
^

Yes yes I agree with you for most of your comment but yes it's just one song (pray for this one do not end up in her next album XD) but I see this upcoming song like "Dream on" with this guy from AAA the style of the song was so not Ayu but it's just for the sake of trying new thing =)

I think m-flo IS still relevant, he did a lot of songs for kana nishino and they were huge.
For me it's a nice collaboration, I'm glad she's trying out new things and I loved merry go round because it's so different from her normal productions.
It's not like she will always and only do this kind of sound, it's just a parenthesis in her music, her sound will stay unchanged because it is HERS. But it's nice to see her experimenting with different things, otherwise I'd be bored.. then you can like or dislike but at least you can never say she keeps doing the same stuff all over again.

And I like that she's gone back to experimenting with rap, it IS part of her roots (nothing from nothing anyone?) so i find it nice ^^

Preview of My way !!!!

God...I love what I heard... ♥

This sounds pretty good so far!

wow a preview already? ah it's too hard to hear over the talking chick. :( but her vocals sound pretty nice!

Im glad she's trying new things, not the usual over-dramatic ballads we're going to get anyway!

Sound very interesting !! The way she sings is so different I never heard her sing like that before ? I really like what I hear its sound smooth and relaxing !

How exciting! (Didn't get much from the preview though!)

Well, as I'm not a fan of merry go round and m-flo, I'm not excited by this news. Because of the quality of the preview, I can't say if I like it or not or if it's promising or not. I have no idea. I'm expecting nothing good about that song at that moment. However, I could be surprised.

I live what I'm hearing in the preview!
Ayu rapping, now, that's something I want to hear! I'm so happy she's experimenting and starting to be featured in other singers songs.

FUTURE IS WOW...

From the preview, it sounds pretty nice :D

Nice!!!! Sounds like it might be cool from the preview, but yeah one can barely hear much.

FINALLY they love her XD
Its so tamed and when she sings that higher note, it sounds nice! hahah

don't think she is the rapper haha

lulz m-flo is still relevant and like, the most highly respected. Everybody loves Taku.

It's weird to have an m-flo loves Ayu after all of these years though.

I don't really care to have their styles mix, but at the same time, I'm happy that she's breaking away and working with some other people because her compositions and arrangements were getting really stale.

^ i guess it's not really that m-flo are "has-beens" per se. more that i haven't heard of them even DOING anything since like 2006, but now that i look at their discog, i do see they collabed with 2ne1 and miliyah kato for whatever that's worth. it's just, collabing with m-flo was something you did, like, ten years ago if you were a popular r&b artist lol. not trying to shade taku, 'cause his production is great and all but.

i forgot you can still be considered relevant in japan barely breaking 10k in sales. sad.

and honestly i feel like a major part of her "branching out" is really just inability to get new songs from her usual composers. i mean, LOVE again was basically an album of leftover songs from years back. :\

OMG m-flo!?!??!??!?!?!?!??!!?!??! CAN'T WAIT!!!

Finally m-flo includes ayu into their "loves" series. Was wondering when it was gonna happen.

Merry-go-round is still one of Ayu's best songs in YEARS so I'm happy to see them working together again, and for Ayu with experimenting with different composers/arrangers. Was getting sick of Yuta Nakano.

hard to hear the song, but i think it sounds good

I was expecting somebody else when Ayu mentioned she recorded a song for a certain artist. LOL Anyway, i like what i hear but i'm not impressed. i want another news. Something Ayu-only related news LOL

The first time I heard it, I thought that was miwa's voice
After seconds, I realized that is ayu's one

I love the preview so far <3

Glad m-flo likes Ayu lol

Verbal (from m-flo) is like the japanese Pitbull, lol. He has a lot of collaborations with many popular artists.

Calm your shit. It's one song, and it's most likely not even going to be in her official discography. Also, they only collaborated with her on one single. :rolleyes I think of the 14 studio albums, 4 mini albums, 50 singles, 6 compilation albums, and the 20+ remix albums all spanning over 15 years, it's awesome to know she's finally making music with people she has never worked with. That is what I consider dynamic, not some summer pop tune or winter ballad she's done a gazillion times already. :dead2

lol. the irony that your post was 20,000 times more worked up than my initial one. *shares xanax*

I can't help it. You just make me so hyped. :lech

LOL I love how you put the hate on m-flo when its really because you haven't followed them since 2006 or something. #Sorrybutnotsorry

The preview is pretty low quality and I couldn't hear much but it sounds like it can be nice. I'll wait til I hear a better preview, but if its musically more m-flo I have a feeling this collab is going to be better than Merry-go-round... IF Ayu is rapping... it makes me think of 1995 Ayu. Nothing from Nothing EP, gotta love that. :lech

Actually, I never really followed them. :) But like I said, they're good. They have tons of songs that are still bops to this day. It's just a weird move that feels 10 years behind its time for Ayu.

Considering, you know, their last single barely broke 1k and apparently peaked at #81. lol.

Ah, so this is the new song. The preview sounds fantastic!

I can barely hear it x) looking forward to another preview maybe

but I as I really love MGR, I hope this one will be good too

Honesty, m-flo came out last year or the year before about how much they really disliked the state of jpop right now, and how they didn't care for many of the artists.

As much as I'm happy that they decided to do an m-flo loves ayu, I feel like it's kind of a -there just aren't that many people new to work with- type of thing lol

Well this sounds interesting~

even though i hoped for a new single or an album.. well at least it's something new from ayu~
can't wait to listen to the full song.. can't really hear anything from the tv preview~

The preview sounds very cutesy, and her voice is so smooth! At some point it reaches a rather high note too, and that's awesome in that respect.

I'm not feeling anything for or against ayu collaborating with m-flo. It was just like, oh okay.

What I'm looking forward to hearing is some actual musical release from ayu in re: Pray. Or Tell All. Whatever happens to that song? Did we ever get an official high-quality version of that song? I mean, wow.

i can't hear a single thing from the preview '-'

Ayu's comment.

Interested in hearing it and I'll reserve judgement until then! Those saying it's something that Ayu should have done 10 years ago...I can't imagine Ayu doing it 10 years ago. She seemed so focused on being independent and it's only in the last couple of years that she has experimented singing with others, since Dream On really.

It's what I want as well. Even though it's the same old thing. I want more of it.

Interesting!

I liked the preview. At least the little I could hear. Can't wait to hear the full song.

Me like it.

It says this is ayus first attempt at rapping.

They must not remember nothing from nothing.

I'm so excited <3 I like the preview :)

I'm excited! Hope there's a video ;)

She probably remembers it but for the most part, the public does not know of it.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but we've had one !

To be fair I'm not bothered about "my way". It's cool that Ayu's experiencing news styles, and we've had so many songs over the past few years. If this new one turns out to be good, sweet, if not I'll go back to previous releases :)

As for Pray, since everybody seems to be dying for a physical release, there is a 98% chances that it will be included on the next single/album/mini/[any other name Avex can give to a CD], so I wouldn't be too worried!

Tell All should probably be a bonus track too... if not, then it might just get attached to A BEST 3 whenever that happens.

Can't hear anything from that clip

Ayu works with her usual musicians:
"Eeew! She is such a has been! No surprise her career sucks so much right now!"

Ayu works with different musicians:
"Eeew! She is such a has been! No surprise her career sucks so much right now!"

Ayu works with new artist:
"Eeew! She is such a has been! No surprise her career sucks so much right now!"

Ayu works with consolidated artist:
"Eeew! She is such a has been! No surprise her career sucks so much right now!"

Ok...

^so true...LOL...

Amen.
Don't forget:

"uhh so sick of her ballads no more love again no more love ballads and soft stuff"
FTL/MGR comes out
"URGH why doesn't she just stick to ballads which she does best?"
pray comes out
"still looking for something new from her instad of the usual emotional ballads"

I swear I don't understand sometimes XD

^ I don't think the reason FLT/MGR had drama wasn't because people wanted her to stick ballads.

For me, yeah I'm sick of mediocre ballads but I'm craving an epic one.

^Yes it was

Yaay! Good news!

So true. Some people... so annoying...

http://i61.tinypic.com/rqwu9y.gif

Can't wait to hear the new song. Wow! Ayu rapping!

YAY another new song:tipsy

About time!
I love m-flo and I was wishing for a collab between Ayu and them for a loong time. I'm happy she's working with different people.

Too bad I can hear barely the song on the preview, please lady shut up :|

Not for me it wasn't. For me it was the fact that it had been a while since she made an attempt for an upbeat track and it sucked.

I wrote that not thinking about everyone's personal opinion specifically but referring to some comments I've read both here, on tumblr and so on about that being the reason why they didn't like the single...
if for you it's different of course I respect your opinion XD
I for one loved it, but everyone is entitled to have different taste, it's what makes the world beautiful, what I was going against were those critics made just for the sake of criticise because they OBVIOUSLY were paradoxal, which was the point of my post!

Zeke. only like generic seasonal ballads, so, let him complain... :P

I clearly remember people wanting an upbeat, Sparkle kind of track and the next day, when FTL/MGR was released. saying they wanted a WINTER BALLAD.
I mean. I don't even recall anyone speaking about a winter ballad from Ayu this year before Feel the love preview was out, lol!

Ayu is rapping in the song... I'm not a fan of it... I don't like rap.
But might be interessing to listen to it.

yay! excited!

:spinning

Lol not only but those are my favorites. Generally I like most of her ballads though, just not lately.

And seriously... Ayu could not be more generic releasing an EDM track this late in the game. And making the track as generic as they come. It's a generic track in a fast growing generic genre.

I always stick to my word. I really got sick of her ballads lately and I really wanted her to release something dancey. She did. I'm happy. This is the first single I've bought of hers since Rule/Sparkle. Looks like she did something right.

^ AHS loves to exaggerate how often members supposedly change their mind about what they want lol

From the preview... is that supposed to be a rap? I guess the preview did not show that part.
Well, still excited about the song. Is it gonna be like Fly High rap or so, so excited!

She's singing pretty slowly in that clip, so the rap must be elsewhere in the song.

I'll just think of Fly High when they say Ayu is gonna rap LOL

You know, you really only create drama when you bring this up any time there is any criticism over anything. I don't know if you feel like you're helping or something, but you're not.

No one in here was even being unreasonable about anything. You're completely invalidating people's posts and marginalizing their opinions when you reduce them down like this, and it doesn't do anything to promote peaceful discussion.

You're only contributing to the problem of fans hating on each other, and if you don't care, then stop wasting your time posting.


About her rap, she did...a little in Fly High, no? I guess that's not considered a rap, but it would be cool to have a song like that.

I feel like it's just us fans that are asking for too much of her like we're spoiled. It's true that some part of me was disappointed for FTL/MgR, and maybe Pray too, but I still think everything that she's been doing up until now is really great -except for maro- Ayu's great!

About m-flo loves ayu, I'm really happy that she's doing collaboration! The preview shouldn't even be called a preview, that was barely anything :laugh and I love ayu rapping!! I'm just plain excited for anything from ayu now.

i'm HERE for ayu reclaiming her position as asia's #1 Female MC


i really wish this was ravex instead tho are they ever gonna comeback

And don't forget the little bit she did in Ladies Night, and A with mcat (or whatever his name is).

I will take a note on that, voice of reason.
I'm on a forum of an artist I still like, instead of being here to bash everything done since 2003 with the excuse of having a "special connection" or some shit like that, so, if something, the one that should stop wasting time posting is you.

People can like or dislike whatever they want, but if someone says she is over BECAUSE she collabs with newer people, or BECAUSE she collabs with older people, or something empty like that, I will point out the ridicule of it, you liking it or not, because, you know, I'm not here to please you. Once your opinion is public, I'm aloud to have a opinion on it, on the same way I never told anyone to shut up just for disagreeing with me.

how about she rap in "Happening Here"? It is rap, right?

^Happening here is rap :P

I find it funny people being surprised considering Nothing to Nothing and even Ladies Night and Fly High to som extent.

speaking of which
i was singing along to Happening Here in the car today. :D

can't wait for this.
m-flo is awesome, so collaborating with The Queen can only mean good things.

idk what the point of this is, so I'm just gonna ignore it.
Oh I'm sorry, all of these posts must be in the no longer existing trash can because I don't see them anywhere in the thread. No one said these things? Or maybe I missed them?

Yes, you're allowed to have your opinion, but you seem to bring up this opinion almost every time Ayu releases something and you see people discussing or debating.

I'm just telling you, that discrediting people and their opinions creates more drama than it fixes, and it wasn't really necessary in this thread, where people were peacefully talking among themselves.

idk if you want to talk more about it, we can pm or something.

i though evolution's and until that day's chorus are rap. LOL No, just kidding. Anyway, her voice sounds sweet and in control in the preview. and that High note! she's surely embracing her head tone with this one like MGR

I would say Surreal and RULE were also semi-rap. She's really good at singing words at high speed.

Why don't you. It takes two to tango :dead2


I always considered Fly high and Happening Here to have rap parts, Ladies night too. Collaborating with m-flo doesn't mean Ayu's career is dead. If she were to collaborate with BIG BANG or AKB48 that would be desperate, this is just fine. Lot's of artists in Japan have done the m-flo <3 X thing~

ayu x AKB48 LOL that would be cool ahah. Joking, tho I love akb.
She should teach them 2 or 3 things tho.
l'm really looking forward to this rap thing, I love love love ayu rapping XD and I see this as a "back to my roots" kinda thing, maybe I'm too sentimental but it's sweet, also because it was her anniversary last year <3

Nice, can't wait! Merry-go-round was great and I soo wanted another one!

Exactly! :yes

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! If she collab'd with one member from BIGBANG that would be fine. V.I and D-LITE are great vocalists who could mesh well with Ayu.

I not-so-secretly want her to collaborate with AKB48. I mean, it'll be crap but it'll sell. I could see her as their mama-san in the hypothetical PV.

I like m-flo but I think the song with Tae Yang will be better...

The point is those are relatively new and more popular acts. People would say she's trying to use their momentum...

I would see no problem with her collaborating with newer and famous acts...

It's a great way to both add prestige to those acts and introduce Ayu to younger audiences.

Im looking forward to this! What I'm surprised about is why it took so long

OMG UE KARA AYUMI.

Yes for more Ayu x m-flo. The preview for My Way was amazing~ :heart

Yes for Ayu x Seungri or Daesung from BIGBANG. :heart

I won't even say how disgustd I feel whenever I think of a possible collaboration between Ayu and AKB48... :puke
