'LOVE' mini album out November 8th, 1st of five 15th anniversary releases [IV]
 
As usual, please try to post any new information here and I will add it to the first post.

Key points for now:
- Celebrating months leading up to 15th anniversary, 5 months of releases
- First part is the mini album LOVE that is coming out 11/8/12
- mini album has 3 new songs and 12 tracks
- Songs are Song 4 u [composed by Yuta Nakano/HINATAspring], Melody [composed by Yasuhiko Hoshino], and Missing [composed by Kazuhiro Hara]
- Melody is a medium ballad, Missing is a medium rock flavored tune overflowing with pain/sadness
- every month on the 8th day of the month until the 15th anniversary, something new will be released (NOT necessarily all mini albums) on 11/8, 12/8, 1/8, 2/8, and 3/8.

「Song 4 u」は、11月1日発売のゲーム「テイルズ オブ エクシリア2」のテーマソングに決定しており、9月23日に幕張メッセで開催された“東京ゲームショウ20 12”にて楽曲が初解禁された際には、熱狂的なテイルズ・ファンから大歓声で迎えられた。昨年の「prog ress」に続く「テイルズ オブ」シリーズとのコラボレーションで、壮大な世界観と疾走感溢れる楽曲はまさにファンの期待を裏切らない ものとなっている。「Missing」は、数多くのヒット曲を生み出してきた原一博氏によるロックテイスト 溢れる切ないミディアム・ナンバーで、胸に突き刺さる歌詞と張り裂けんばかりの歌声に心揺さぶられる、まさ にayuにしか表現できない究極のラブソング。「Melody」は、星野靖彦氏作曲によるミディアム・バラ ードで、耳に残るやさしいメロディと包み込むような歌声はまさにayuバラードの真骨頂。3曲ともayuの 魅力が存分に発揮された楽曲に仕上がっている。
さらに、今年の夏を席巻し現在もヒット中の「You & Me」の大沢伸一、Remo-conによるリミックス、「Song 4 u」のオーケストラ・ヴァージョン、「Missing」と「Melody」のリミックスなど、全12曲を収 録した会心作!

Information from before the release was confirmed
Spoiler:

If this ends up being a rumor, please move this to the rumors thread in the chat room, but it seems VERY likely to be true. The timing fits in with the Tales of Xillia 2 release and also would allow for DLC to be included. Would be interesting if she was trying to keep a four letter theme with her minis as well [FIVE / LOVE] perhaps with a similar design for the title/logo?

About three hours ago in Japan, a tweet was posted by a longtime Ayu fan saying that a new project of five continuous releases was starting for her 15th anniversary.

RT @teammaruko: 浜崎あゆみ、15周年目前に5枚連続リリース‼第一弾は「LOVE」ミニアルバム11月8日。 らしいです!
It's not confirmed just how 'true' this is but it seems pretty legitimate considering the source. I do wonder why the tweets were all deleted though. It was later reposted at the 'Foraver Club' on Facebook, the place that initially broke the Song 4 u news a day or two before the release. Wonder where they found their information for that though.

It seems she deleted her initial tweet due to this:
"すいません、まだ公式じゃなかったみたいなので一旦消しますね。"

It did not seem official to her? Or it wasn't supposed to be released?

An update:
It appears that this information was posted on TeamAyu and then quickly pulled from the site due to being up too early. If you remember, "GUILTY" had a tracklist originally posted a LONG time ago and it was removed from the site for a few days before being posted for real. No one thought it was real because it seemed so ridiculous and then well... we got it a few days later and people couldn't believe it.

any word on how Tales of Xillia 2 is selling? If it even comes close to matching the success of the first game then that is potentially great news for LOVE

Didz-19 4th November 2012 11:19 PM

Apparently, the third release won't be a mini-album according to a source in China. :no

That was -never- announced. She said she had a lot of music for people though.

Apparently, that Chinese inside source (they also knew that again was coming since it was the same price as LOVE) has a grasp on how high/low the pricing is for the next release, and it looks like it could be something that ISN'T the same size as LOVE aka a mini. (which means 2900yen+ or 1000yen~ as opposed to 1500yen)

We could get A WINTER BEST.... oi... or even a new single?

pepper 5th November 2012 10:24 AM

^ single would be more expensive than mini?
