Album Release Date: July 2nd, 2014.

- Album features RedOne, Rodney Jerkins (aka Darkchild), Armin van Buuren, Fedde Le Grand, and DAISHI DANCE.

The tour/album info will probably be split in two weeks or so, but for now we can speculate in here before the tour starts!

I'm reminded all over again how much I love the font they're using for the tour promotion.

Why can't they bring this kind of font game to her album/single covers? smdh

I do kind of wish they'd not use free fonts for these things though, haha.

The font for Premium Showcase was made by a Canadian who now lives in Japan! He seems to make a lot of quality fonts.

The PREMIUM SHOWCASE font is ok but that font for ayumi hamasaki is butt-ugly.

So do I, lol.
But I like well enough the tour title font.

The whole logo has an EDM festival feeling about it

I think is time to know the damn title of the album. We are almost sure is going to be "Feel the love" but I want an official statement.

It really does. Now all that's left is to see if the new album will have mostly EDM or actually a variety of songs like she hinted.

I can't believe it. Its more than two weeks 'till this tour starts!! :D

Would this be the first time she's kinda-sorta revealed the title with a single track?

I really hope it's not Feel the love.

Already ? Didn't see it coming ! And hello new me is coming out tomorrow isn't it ? I'm sure we'll get a track list in th next few weeks or so !

:popcorn Wait for it.

I'm just wondering what songs will be on the venue only cds. I have the feeling that we may only get 2 new songs from the 6 total (Feel the love, Merry-go-round, Pray, and hello new me being the other 4).

So it is something like this (just placeholders, nothing is known for sure):
Rock song + Darkchild song = CD A
Fedde le Grand song + DAISHI DANCE song = CD B
RedOne song + Armin van Buuren song = CD C

I assume the album is going to be like this:
Pray
Feel the love
Merry-go-round
Hello new me
-rock track by her usual team that she hinted at-
Darkchild song
Fedde le Grand song
DAISHI DANCE song
RedOne song
Armin van Buuren song
+
interludes

Unfortunately, this means we won't get a very surprising album unless there are a few tracks not being revealed beforehand.

I know Rock'n'Roll Circus ended up that way, but there was a pattern for that. This time around it seems a little less likely. We just had a tour with the title '15th Anniversary Tour ~A BEST LIVE~' and a CDL with no subtitle at all.

I think everyone forgets that Tell all can be a possible track on this new album...

Armin van Buuren !!!!! can't wait to hear that song

Potentially a bonus track, but that was an anniversary song much like Mirrorcle World which never featured on an album.

But Mirrorcle World got a full physical release. I don't think we have a HQ version of Tell All (the one available for download does not sound all that HQ to me)

in re: title, I think 'Hello new me' is also a viable candidate. A gross one, but possible.

I don't think I'm going to listen to any of the tracks released leading up the album release...Love Again was kinda meh because only like 4 songs were actually new to me.

I only hope ayu not use the voice she make in Feel the love, sound so pitched :(
