New Album.
i'm not really sure if its the right place to post this, or if its too early. I don't know too if i'll tag this as unconfirmed but since ayu confirmed it, im confused lol. Mods, please do move, edit, configure etc this thread just in case..
Apparently, ayu posted on instagram just tonight that she cancelled her plans going out these coming days due to snowy weather and will just work on her new album on her house. Source: ayu's instagram. i'm so excited! cant wait for more info. |
Ayu posted this:
今日と明日は雪だって聞いて急遽予定変更⛄ マイブームのUGGのルームウェアとブランケットでぬくぬくNEW ALBUM制作スタート❄ feat. ココアのおしり Heard that today n tmrw will b snowy days so I changed my plans and just started working on my new album at home I'm so happy to read this good news!! |
Its been a while since Ayu and Hikki has something in store for us. It makes me feel like JPOP is becoming alive again.

Oh well, nobody was expecting her to take a break anyway ;p What makes me feel good about it is her attitude. It's snowy so i will do what i really enjoy - making music.
|
it's too early...
|
Exciting news. I wonder what kind of music she'll give us.
|
Yay for a new album, even though I'm not surprised. :laugh
But don't get too excited, she can work on an album for forever and release it later, even next year. Though that's not very likely. Anyway waiting for something officially. |
This is soooo cool. Well it was expected that she'd release a new album this year as always but still.
|
Always good news to me, though I'm hoping for something riskier this time around. :)
|
WHAT! OMG!
What's this feat. koko ano oshiri about? |
Yaay! Though I'm not surprised really lol But I'm looking forward to the new album

|
I hope she will compose some song, and I guess the album will be released on 8th April *exciting*
|
well, it fits her regular schedule of a year.. =x it's time for a new album with only 4 new songs, cos 6 of them are from sixxxxxx haha
|
Oh wow. That is incredible. Take your time Ayu
|
Wow, this is fantastic. I hope she chooses a different direction from A ONE and Sixxxxxx. I liked both albums but I would like to see her collaborate with different composers and arrangers.
I guess this means singles are on the cards also, though I imagine it will be released in April, so maybe just digital potentially? |

Yay. Just came home and saw this!!! I'm really excited!
|
Incredible news!! ayu never dissapoints regarding keeping the music up!
Winter diary will obviously be there (so its haters can start grieving it out already so they will be able to enjoy the album when it comes). and its PV as well! Seeing her instagram post was like a shining light in the middle of the university exams period, lol. |
wow she just won't stop..
can't wait for the new album! |
If Winter Diary is on this CD, it will be so annoying. I think it could go either way.
ever free, RAINBOW, Life, Tell all (original mix), etc. have never made it past their respective releases. ;) |
working on the new album already... I can't say I'm surprised, but I am happy :)
It's still very early though, so expect the album to be released only in a few months. Quote:
|
What's nice about this album is that we don't have any single to spoil the genre. It can be anything. With Colours we had the Feel the love single so we already expected something electro. A ONE was spoiled by that triple aside to be a mellow/organic LP. Winter diary is probably going to be a bonus track only.
|
Personally, I don't care if there are singles or not. I mean, look what happened to Party Queen... :/
|
I've been waiting for this months xD
|
It's like Christmas :P happens every year, nothing new (event, not talking about content) but everybody is happy xD

Exciting!
I hope she will take as much time as she need, and will not work in hurry |
A good way to celebrate my 10th Anniversary as a Ayu fan. :D I'm really excited. Utada Hikaru's return and now this. Hell, this will be a great year. :heart
As for Ayu including sixxxxxx's songs on the new album... I doubt it. I think Winter diary is most obviously on the album since the PV was never released anywhere (as far as I know). |
Just got home from work and came here to see the news!! Wow, after A7 which I am still enjoying, I genuinely did not expect a new album this soon! (Summer at the earliest!)
So I'm very happy with this and I don't mind the potential inclusion of Winter Diary at all! Quote:
|
Didn't she write at TA that will post some news next week?
|

|
this is gonna be awesome AYu will be releasing a new album in late spring most probably, then GACKT is going to drop his first original album after 7 years... This is freaking heaven!
|
I hope we get something like Movin' on without you, the song composed by Japanese producers and the arrangement by American/European producers. Getting tired of the repepitive predictable sounds done by Yuta Nakano/Tetsuya Komuro. Maybe it is time Ayu gets a new A&R team?
|
^i personaly wasn't impressed with the arrangement of MoWY. It sounded like every other dance track to me lol BUT i am in for new creative team. Even though i love her usual sound, i think it would be a good thing too. She needs some refreshment in her career.
|
Can't wait for the queen to slay again. :heart
|
Yesssss gimme dat new music
|
The minute I saw the words "new album" posted on that post, from ayu's instagram...I immediately came running to see what AHS has to say about it! :laugh :D Honestly I'm actually a bit surprised, but considering the fact that ayu's pretty much releasing albums every year, I guess it's not such a shock, after all. :P Now I just wonder when it'll be released! Hopefully in the spring or by early summer. :) Either way, I'm already so excited! :vbhappy
|
i hope it's something kick-ass like Colours with Terminal and Lelio :yes
|
I'm so excited! I guess it's almost certain that Winter Diary will be included, I just hope it's an "album edit" without the annoying "silent night, holy night". fingers crossed.

I am up for another A ONE. |
I enjoyed A ONE but at the same time I got tired of it really quickly because this album is an overview of what she has already done in the past ... nothing was unexpected ! Now it's time to take some risk and to experiment new sounds !! I don't have big hope but I would love some japanese folk songs to fit the MADE IN TOKYO thema (if she keep this theme for her hypothetical tour) !!
|
She seems to be alternating between safe-playing and different albums for some time, at least to my taste, since RnRC...
RnRC - Songs with different styles Love songs - Safe TK album Party queen - Need I say something? LOVE again - Typical ayu-sounding album Colours - Very Western-driven A ONE - Again safe album So maaaaybe we're getting something different from A ONE? I'd love to see something more rock-driven, and by that I do not mean guitar-driven songs hahahaha Hopefully we are getting a release date soon :heart |
*prays for new arrangers and composers*
|
Honestly Love songs was not that safe ! Release a full 80's/90's classical/pop inspired album in 2010 while everybody is already in EDM etc... it was quite risky because dated in an assumed way ! but yeah maybe this time she will experiment more in this album ??
|
Quote:
I hope she gets inspired by Many Classic Moments and follows this direction. A ONE is ok and I love sixxxxxx but I'd love something like Colours or Next Level. |
^ You talked about MCM and I remembered the scrapped song from RedOne we were supposed to get on sixxxxxx baaaack when it was announced and didn't even have a title. Maybe she'll bring it back for this album?
|
id like to have songs on the new album like out of control, missing, love song. its hard to define but let me saying it like this: "ballads" which turn into emotional upbeat sounds.
|
I just want this album to surprise me in a good way. Embrace your inner rocker, Ayu!
|
I want rock songs! Like REAL ROCK! and some badass tracks such as GAME or About You. I kinda miss the edgy chick Ayu. Although WARNING was sort of the same but it didn't do as much as some of her older tracks for me. I'm kinda sick of strings and long intros lol.
|

^ The Sensation title is made-up as far as I know, nut when they first upped a snippet of SbS on YT (audio only) they did mention the RedOne song in the description. The thing is we don't even know if she did record it, maybe she just bought a demo and was working on a translation and never even finished it. But I'd not be surprised to see the song making it to the light of day on this album or on the next year, that's pretty common for a song to be kept in a shelf for a couple of years before getting released (side eyeing LOVE again)
|
I don't know what to expect with this album. I wouldn't mind a Colours-esque sound but I feel like she's going to "keep it safe" again. I also hope Winter Diary doesn't make an appearance but I'm sure it will. Anyways, I'm looking forward to getting more details in the coming weeks :)
|
It'd be amazing if she surprises us with a collab in the album, but... that's probably not gonna happen lmao
|
I don't want anymore collabs or features. Ayu's features have only been artists no one knows or cares about, and then they fade into the bargain bin and the bottom of the Oricon charts immediately afterward.
I hope she works with Kazu again. We haven't had his ethereal, glittery pop on an Ayu album in over 5 years. I'd like to hear something like a cross between GUILTY and RAINBOW. But really, I just want an album with three interludes again, some structure that isnt just a bunch of songs thrown on a disc. Ayu has never spent more than 3 months on a record, so I imagine this album will be out before the end of April. But still... I don't think Ayu is going to do another Colours, Party Queen, or NEXT LEVEL. A ONE was about Ayu returning to herself rather than trying to escape who she is. I think this will be very similar to the sound of A ONE and sixxxxxx. |
I also miss those kinds of albums that has introduction plus two more interludes or so. I need a next sister of Kaleidoscope, Never ending Drean, Labyrinth etc. I want an edgy-pop and rock album a la Rainbow, or Secret , not a block of ballads and edms :(
when was the last time Ayu worked with CMJK and HAL? Maybe Ayu can hire and reunite HAL for the next album lol Oh well, i can only wish and hope. We should tweet ayu about these since she's been getting ideas from the fans sometimes lately. |
coolness! yes!
|
I wouldn't mind a album like RAINBOW. Some of the music styles used on that album should be used again. I really think it's one of the Ayu's best albums music wise. Also a album like (miss)understood would be pretty badass. 8D
I also wish that she'd worked with Timmy again. I think he made great music for Ayu. |
It seem ayu posted the last instagram pic forever xD

Is ayu now healthy?
She was sick and she is going to record again, I just hope she is ok, I love her music but I don't want her to damage her voice. |
The new album will probably going to release on a debut date which is 04.08., so it's too early to create a thread on this topic. AHS Staff, please close this thread for now. Thank you!
|
I think it's fine, it's an official confirmation that she's working on a new album.
|
Pretty interesting. Cannot wait for a new album. Another album with no single to back up... Who knows what will the theme be as time gets close...
I'm guessing sometime this spring. April release again, anybody? |

Next CDL is also confirmed in her TeamAyu message. Not directly, but you get the idea based on her words.

Regarding to the style of music, I let Ayu choose what she want to do. Because it's her career not mine. |
would like to have a lead song called after the album. (like next level.) it gives us a lead track which should represent the whole album. if we get a full length album with 15-16 songs (((( 2 interludes and previious released songs like: winter diary, mcm ))) this would be great even though i dont mind if winter diary gets kicked out, but since it has a mv theres no chance not having it on the album

He just composed Diary though, so clearly he's still writing.

Latest TA diary post summary:
She does say she's preparing the new album, there will be lots of news next week - 2016 is going to be a crazy ayu year and she hints she will meet the fans in Yoyogi (tour). |
^ Probably tour dates and album release date also? Can't wait! :banana2
|
What if the next tour is called MADE IN ASIA and she will make her largest tour through asia ?? XD I hope !!
|
Quote:
|
Please no, this is the one time I'm hoping they won't make the CDL into a tour it felt so lackluster :/ cirque de minuit was amazing and I can't say that about made in tokyo.
About the new album I don't care what it will sound like as long as the songs are good lol Also unpopular opinion but I think RAINBOW is one of her most boring albums... |
I would assume "Made in Japan" for the album and tour name. That makes more sense than "Made in Asia"
|
Actually, scratch what I said earlier...
AYU, PLEASE BRING BACK HAL! PLEASE. PLZ. PLZ PLZ PLZ. |
If I remember well in all these years she only extended the CDL to an actual tour twice. Once with HOTEL Love songs and the other time with Cirque De Minuit. Even though some of the arena tours obviously had some elements borrowed from the CDLs before them (Future Classics -> RnRC and the 13-14 CDL -> Premium Showcase). Still the tour name and theme can still be different ^^
|
well I don't know what to think about it.. I don't wan something rushed even if I can't wait to ear new material...
I just want quality music for me and success for her... so... |
I miss ARENA TOUR feat New Album theme.
I'm sure the album won't be titled MADE IN TOKYO because when a CDL title was used for the album too? |
Quote:
But it's 100% likely she'll tour this year as well |
^I didn't get that feeling at all. She wouldn't be stating that a lot of news is coming next week and that TA members should prepare themselves if she was referring to a CDL. I mean, it's January.
|
I'm immune to all her "exciting news" from the previous disappointments lol...
|
Won't Yoyogi be closed until summer? I feel like all her usual arenas were reported to be closed for renovations for the majority of the first half of 2016. Can't remember the exact dates though.
http://i64.tinypic.com/2rmm80j.jpg Found this. I was mistaken about Yoyogi. Yoyogi will go through renovation in 2018 so she can't use it for her 20th anniversary:-( |

Maybe, more TA tour?

Wow, Ayu is unstoppable. I just hope that she doesn't overwork herself!
|
sixxxxxx was VERY GOOD. A ONE was meh, something rather similar to LOVE again (safe, medium album filled with ballads with some strong points, and A ONE had one kickas* rock track and NO FUTURE <3) I hope she will keep the sixxxxxx level cause Winter diary was super boring ;x
|
If she can do an album similar to I am..., RAINBOW, or Secret, I would have a heart attack in a happy way.

CMYK is a good option too !! He is versatil and is not afraid to experiment with Ayu sadly since Party Queen he disappeared...I know that it must be comfortable for her to call Yuta Nakano, Tetsuya Yukumi or Tasaku but how I would love she give chance to a new team of producer !!
|
^ I really miss CMJK.
|
I want D.A.I. :(
|
Yeah, it'll never happen, but I'd love another track composed by CREA & DAI and arranged by HAL.
Also some more Timmy would be good! |
