Omg I'm so obsessed with Lelio. IT'S SO GOOD.
|
Just heard all the previews. The album's going to be very club friendly. Unless there's a rock song involved, I think the main genres would be dance and ballad then?
All of the previews sound good, though. I'm still somewhat irked by XOXO, but if I could end up liking Feel the love, I think it's only a matter of time before I came to love XOXO. |

I just want to dance to it so badly |
Omg.... lelio lelio lelio lelio dj.....
Love that song so much... |
I feel bad, 'cause I hated the "NOW & 4EVA" title, but the song itself is amazing ♥ And there's some rock in it, like someone said "a typical Ayu song", but it's not boring, it has beautiful and nice begining, and then BOOM! ^^ It's like a calm version of "Tell All"...
"What is forever love" is much better than "ANother song" and I think I'm one of the few who actually likes Naoya in it. They both still sound better than Namie & Ken Hirai in "Grotesque" x) And I really like how Ayu's saying/whispering the lyrics ♥ Although, when I think about how the songs are leaking one by one, and they're so good... Before the album is out, there won't be anything new and all the songs will be overplayed already :c |

Can we please dump her background vocalists and do |
Ok, lelio slay me. Because my name is julio and everyone call me Leo. So Leo + Julio = Lelio, coincident? I think not lol
|
hahah i was expecting the other 3 songs to leak by today...luckily not
|
I don't know if this has been discussed before, though I know someone mentioned earlier that "Lelio" (<3) might be a reference to the classical and spoken word work from 1831. If this is true, this (taken from the Wikipedia article) might be relevant:

I just realized.... This Premium Showcase, with the EDM-spirit of her new album, is the actual very good opportunity for her to play remixes during the tour !
Maybe the DJ-part of the latest CDL was a premice of what we'll get in less than 1 week .... :heart :heart |

|
I've got Lelio and NOW & 4EVA, but I want to wait until I get the album to hear the rest, since it's my birthday present to myself. :D
|
Wow I forget to check this forum for a while and so much has been updated!
Got the chance to listen to previews of the new tracks and they sound RIDICULOUSLY amazing; I honestly cannot remember the last time I got so excited about an Ayu album based on previews, I think it was either My Story or Secret. Seems like she's finally putting out that Dance album (capital D) that we all thought she was gonna do with Party Queen and Next Level. Right now am quite in love with Lelio and Terminal. It also sounds like FTL and MGR will fit right in here. I rly just wish Hello new me didn't exist. I think I might just delete it from the playlist when the album comes out >.> |
I don't wanna judge anything until I can listen to the entire album, so I'm waiting.. =)
|
i'm in love with just about every song we've gotten off of this album. all the single/digital tracks, although i think my two least favorite songs will be Hello new me and XOXO but i won't judge XOXO until i get the full song ^^
|
I haven't been this excited for an Ayu album in so long. "What is forever love" is still my favorite so far. Tremendous song.
|
I just hope someone can make a solo version of what is forever love...
|
I'm one of those all for Naoya x Ayu songs too!
I didn't listen to any new songs full version. I'm going to wait. I have to say, I think we're having too much one month before the release. |
I think his voice goes well with her, don't know what y'all are talking about
|
is it urata naoya who is singing in 'What is forever love?' it sounded like him but i didn't remember reading anything saying he was featured in it. maybe all that will come out when the album info FINALLY releases.
|
^ It's him.
|
I wonder if ayu will include his name on the song.
|
Yeah, it is weird she didn't do a feat. like ANother song. But m-flo didn't have one for Merry-go-round either. I hate inconsistency haha.
|
I really can see Namie sing Lelio. It feels like a Namie song. Even the build up to the chorus. Ayu better have her dancing shoes for this song at Premium Showcase.
|
Quote:
And this is much better than the other songs they have together. I'm sure he'll pop up at the tour in Tokyo to sing it together :-p |
So I budged and listened to Lelio since it came out on the radio and... I have a big problem with it to be honest. I can't listen to it in public because it encourages the Dancing Queen inside me to bop all over town! :laugh The song is great. I love how ayu follows trends long after they're dead and ayu-nizes them LOL.

WHATEVER 02. Connected 03. Real me / Naturally - 04. Terminal 05. NOW & 4EVA - 06. Pray 07. Angel 08. Last angel - 09. NaNaNa 10. Ladies Night ~another night~ 11. Sparkle 12.

From Alvin Goh's Instagram. Tons of clothes from the last day of shoots with Ayu. Wonder if these were all for the album cover/booklet or a PV. |
Ayu just tweeted that TA has been updated with more info about the album. Can't wait!
|
Quote:
Totally can't wait, |
Really? CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!
|
I'm hoping for cool booklet a'la GUILTY/MY STORY! With lots of stylizations so I can make tons of graphics for my tumblr <3
+ I also think Urata's voice goes with her very well. :) He's better than Timmy, right? xD |
Quote:
SOMEONE CHECK TA ASAP :D |
I'm one of those that only listened to the short previews. Beyond that, I'm going to wait as much as possible for the release of the album so that I can enjoy them all in good quality and together. I'm really looking forward to it though, based on what everyone is saying.

Angel - Rodney Jerkins
Xoxo - RedOne Lelio - Fedde What is forever love - Daishi Now & 4Eva - Kazuhiro Hara; arranged by Yuta Nakano Terminal - Armin |
^
HOW DO U KNOW? What's the track list? Album title? Album cover? :O Daishi is brilliant. <3 Yuta, go away, the arrangements are starting to sound bland. XOXO > ha, knew it! RedOne makes such bland music. xD Wasn't there a song from Darkchild or something, too? |
It was posted to TA. Rodney is Darkchild :-)
No cover or anything yet |
Quote:
|
^
Awesome, thanks. Ayu tweeted TA just to say she uploaded the composers? XD Haha |
Thanks for the composers,
but Ayu, just give us the covers already !!!! :headache |
I must be in the 5% that loves hearing Urata and Ayu sing together again. I'm loving his part is WI4L!
|
Covers? WE DON'T HAVE THE TITLE YET XD
|
^Maybe next Wednesday we got something...
|
Lelio is just bravo! I can imagine Ayu wears black/ silvery/ RED outfit for this song in the concert!
|
Quote:
|
I think she should have set the release date in June, especially since we'll have the songs for like a month before it physically drops...
|
I'm glad she revealed the composers, 'cause I saw some of the guesses on Twitter from Japanese fans and they were SO off. Holy moly.
I am glad to see Kazuhiro Hara back. I think many thought N&4 was TK. |

Yeah he worked with the Spice Girls back in 2000 on their album Forever, most notably on the album with the song Holler (he chimes in a few times on the album saying his name "Darkchild." He's great :)) |
He's also done work with Aaliyah, Destiny's Child, and he did Utada's "time limit"
|
The TA entry mentioned in regards to Lelio that, "while there was a mix of Japanese and Americans at the recording studio, everyone was asking, 'What does 'Lelio' mean?" and then declines to answer the question. So..thanks? xD
|
Ayu better not have taken it from "lel" aka netspeak, haha.

|
i LOVE naoya and ayu together, their voices sound really GOOD together!
|
This doesn't make sense: where are all the people I remember always complaining about Ayu and Naoya singing together? lol
I so hope he's popping out during this tour! |
I think it was just weird during a-nation, really. He was around for about half her set, iirc.
People are okay with him popping up once in a while. I like him in What is forever love too. It's probably their best song together. His version of Why... is also great imo. It's kind of sad how a lot of Armin's fans weren't too big on Terminal. ("This is trash, not tune of the week material, etc") The similarities to Brute and Andrew Rayel's work are pretty obvious in the dub mix though... feels as though he may have stripped out a little too much in the dub mix? The full song is around two minutes longer after all. |

|
We kinda got a rough idea from people who bought all the tracks on mixi.
Quote:
|
Thank you!!
|
I didn't care for him in another song. But I do think he's great in this song!

..if only Photographer remix Terminal...that'll be a gem and Armin fans will like the song..everything they touches turn gold!! |
I think the issue is that a lot of people think that it is a remix of Terminal he did or something.
Some mentioned that Connected was a much better collaboration but IIRC wasn't Connected originally an instrumental only track that Ayu eventually kinda claimed as her own? |
Quote:
|
I can't believe the album won't be released for another month and a week, but as of now, we've heard all of the songs, most of them in full.

It is very strange that it's leaking so early.
But the tour had built in leaks, what with the free CDs. So I guess doing it a little earlier isn't going to be that much worse? In terms of the tours track list, I'd love Naturally or connected or both. Granted they're not dancey. But I think it'd all tie in. :-) |
i thought red one composed Lelio but it's not..haha..
XOXO is by rodney jerkins.. cool! |
Quote:
|
I wonder if we'll have a different cover for all those "tour cds" and if they are going to be packed in paper digipacks or acrylic boxes.. In a few years those are going to be pretty rare items of ayu's discography.

angel is by rodney jerkins lol.. XOXO by red one which doesn't sound like the songs he (is it a he?) did for lady gaga hehe. |

^I don't think it is. The pace isn't nearly as fast as something like Lelio or You & Me.
|
Quote:
You & Me - 131.9BPM Lelio - 130.1BPM I don't see your point. |
^ok...still doesn't change how they sound. i don't think connected is dancey at all compared the other two I listed...
|
I think it's because the pace of the lyrics is faster in You & Me, Lelio etc.?
|
I dunno... For me Connected is more for listening, You & Me is the kind of song you can dance along with while Lelio is that song more suitable for clubbing?
|
I like NAOYA+AYU too ^_^ their voices blend so well
|
Quote:
But yh Y&M is not a club song. Lelio is. |
Quote:
|
Quote:
|
I would dance to connected!!
It's dancey imo, just not stereotypical dancey. |
I can't stop listening to Lelio.
I love ayu on drugs songs so much. =) She can throw billions like these at me. |

Fair enough lol. I do that too sometimes, but the clubs I go to (normal ones!) tend to have limited seating space, or you need to pay for a reservation when you're in a group. :s I love your accurate description of the dance floor. <3 I'm saving that quote. |
Who composed Terminal?
|
^armin van buuren
|
I think the biggest thing for me is why don't we have the title of the damn album yet?
|
^Because we have album titles,previews and full songs :(
Maybe the last will be title and covers. Or during the tour I don't know :( |
That would be really funny if the title of the album is going to be 'Feel the Love.' You never know lol
|
Seeing as how it's called showcase and she's releasing songs at the venue for promotion I would think it would't be surprising at all if she named it Feel The Love as she'd be showcasing the new album.
|
I think they probably should have announced the title along with the tour if that were the case.
With Rock'n'Roll Circus, I think we got the title/logo in early February before the album was even announced. |
Quote:
For me there's more emphasis on the atmosphere it creates as opposed to any dance beats. |
