I wonder if the 5th release will be A BEST 3 now. I really expected a full album to be the last release just to build up momentum for it... However, I genuinely expect A BEST 3 at this point.
I'm really excited for this. There are a few things I hope she does on this album:
1. It would be awesome if we had 10 new songs and 4 interludes, like GUILTY, NEXT LEVEL... I actually miss that structure to her albums a bit. So I'll be very happy if we get four interludes this time around.
2. So far, the songs seem to be very close to Ayu's music from 2004-2009. I'm hoping we get something along the lines of this on the new album. The good Ayu stuff, but with some awesome rock/dance tracks like Wake me up and slower, more introspective songs like Sweet scar.
3. I DESPERATELY hope they do something to promote this. I can really see her pulling out a record like Secret or GUILTY or NL if she just puts the show on here.
4. I DESPERATELY hope the cover is creative. And by "creative" I mean I hope it's better than PQ, Ls, RnRC, etc. I'm tired of these boring pictures with simple text on them like the last few albums have had. So, it would be REALLY awesome if we got a cover like (miss)understood or Secret or GUILTY or MY STORY or I am... or Duty. Something that makes us go, "Oh... this is going to be a piece of work..."
EDIT:
5. I hope EGG finally appears on a track listing.
