A source on facebook credits ayu as composing Tell All:

Don't know how accurate as we all know Ayu is usually credited as CREA.

Yuta did Tell All. It was in the credits for A BEST LIVE's LIVE CD. It's assumed he arranged it too.

For me it looks more like the source left the space for composition ("作曲") blank, and only filled in the space for lyrics ("作詞") with Ayu's name, neglecting to put the two credits on separate lines or space them out.
I do remember there being rumors/"news" about Ayu being the composer back during the original release of the song though, some people might still be reiterating that.

So are there no official guesses as to the "A One" name? She made it sound like once the covers are out that we would see the hidden message?
If I stare enough I can sort of see an L or maybe S made of her hair after the A on the covers, but it could totally be my imagination. Any others?

Clear file for purchasing 3 or more full songs at dwango｜http://r.dwango.jp/j50WwfN3

so what's the hidden message inside the booklet that ayu said before??\

Aty didn't said any word about hidden message in booklet. About hidden mesage at all. "Try to understand when you'll get album" don't mean anything... Or maybe it was about album in general - listen and feel

I vote we start using this as a "Goooood.... Gooooood.... let the hate flow through you!" meme at AHS as a replacement for Emperor Palpatine. Because THAT FACE. XD

^ Now after watching the pv again and its making of i'm noticing how mocking/malicious the black dress ayu is

i'm afraid how Tell All 2015 mix is gonna sound like since i adore the original one so much, i really hope they didn't ruin it completely :no

^ ...just continue listening to the original version in that case? A new version isn't going to make the old version magically disappear.

I didn't like the exploding chorus of the original, so I hope it's completely different :laugh

I have the same fear.

Hold me, we'll get through this together >_<

I'm hoping it's a small change like Red Line had... I also think Red Line was changed for the better by the outro & the subtle mixing changes, so I'm hoping it's a similar effect here.

Then again it might be an enormous change like Endless sorrow, where the new version brought out new aspects of the song and changed its overall feel to where you get the message better, despite not being the big epic song it was on the single... I think both versions are good for their own separate reasons.

Then again, it might be stripped down and made very very dull, which would kinda kill me. x_x

Ah...no Tell all leak, huh? Hope my TA box arrives soon. whomp whomp

Waiting for the Tell All leak~
or whatever it's called after an album is actually released.

I hope that it's not the same as the original version
maybe new vocals with same arrangement?
