Information from my thread :D

Aahhhh, thank you, thank you :) I'll make sure to edit that into the first post~

You can change the title if it's within 3-4 minutes of posting.

I thought we weren't gonna open another thread!? Lol. I kinda wish we hadn't and waited for the announcement.

^ I didn't know you could do that o_o.

I know from opening a few threads with typos/missing information and fixing them within the first 5 minutes of posting them.

It was suggested, but... somebody was going to do it now or later XD It's not like this hasn't been done before, either.

hopefully before the end of this thread, we'll get the announcement <3

Well thank you for sharing that with us :D.

This album sure is getting LOTS of hype! I think the shorter the period from when it is announced to its release date, the lesser chance it'll leak.

Wow... three anticipation threads? I don't remember so much hype for an album! I'm sure it will live up to it all though! Maybe we'll get some news tonight? D':

aw!

taking something from the previous thread about how this might be her most "anticipated" album - might be right. I think we're getting so much insight into what ayu does now through her blog and through the leaking of info that its causing this frenzy :P

I wonder how far we are going to get in this thread, until we get the official announcent about the album. Hmm...

Anyways, I hope we are getting info soon. :)

So much for the idea that some info might release at 4pm japan's time. Still nothing.

I have learnt that anything can happen between 5-8pm in Japan here so...I'll be waiting tonight..HOPEFULLY we get something..if not, it's getting really weird

wooooow three whole threads
