^ boooo all hopes gone haha

Maybe it's a requirement to only update for as much info as they're given I'm just trying to stay positive lol. I was hopping for so many more tracks.

[truehappiness]

Maybe we could get some really long tracks that smash songs together, haha. (7-8 minutes per track to max out the CD capacity) So it'd be like a classical orchestral 'medley' of two or more somewhat full songs per track?

Then they could theme it like an "*~A Symphony~*" of sorts with each track being a different movement.

HIGHLY unlikely (aka not going to happen) but it could make things interesting and it would explain the 10 tracks.

an original album with 14+ Tracks is less than 3255yen

i think it sucks that there are only 10...
were getting more stuff on her mini's and being charged less...
hmp.

[Coelacanth]

Well uhhhh... this album might have been expensive to produce, especially if she's bringing in the Lamoureux Orchestra again. MY STORY Classical sold 82,000 copies... you think this album will sell even a fraction of that, considering her diminished fanbase and the state of record sales? These kinds of albums are meant for die-hard fans anyway, not the general public.

And second of all, who cares if there's only 10 tracks? Am I the only one who doesn't ever listen to remixed songs? I play them once or twice and say "this is nice..." and that's the end of it.

[jewelbox]

10 tracks is fine as long as they all are good

[truehappiness]

I think it's the price. If this were 2000yen or 2500yen, people'd be totally fine with just 10 tracks (well maybe not) but unfortunately, it costs more than a CD only version of her original albums!

It's highly unlikely this will do well sales-wise, but it's something people have wanted for a while since MY STORY Classical and now we have it.

I personally don't listen to most of Ayu's remixes all that often, but the well-done orchestral (including the HARMONY MEETS J-POP series) and trance-type ones are always worth repeating imo. She has a TON of remixes though so it's not like every single one is great, but the good ones are reaaalllly good.

LOl we have shrunken mini albums and a shrunken 'remix' album now too

Anyway, we'll see when more details come out but it doesn't look good for now.

Maybe they are all 8 min long tracks.

[channy]

I really hope some of the tracks are plain instrumental. This worked really well for the flow of MY STORY Classical.

I was expecting at least 15 tracks but then... I prefer 10 AMAZING tracks over 15 mid-okay-alright-hum-quite-good tracks, so I hope this wont be a let down.

Still I see no reason for this price. Any chances it'll have a special package?

[isthisLOL?]

No reason for this price? An entire symphonic orchestra is recording on every track - possibly even a prestigious one. The production of this album is more expensive than that of a normal Pop album and it will most likely sell far elss than a normal album would. I expect 25k at best.

sorry, i'm bitter. lol

BAHAHA. A jazz album...like that would ever happen...(cough-wouldn't put it past avex honestly)

But seriously, am I one of the only few who aren't excited about this release? I was kind of hoping for some new material. Instead we get more remixes.

Ugh; and was that Rule preview supposed to get me psyched?

I was about to write the same.

Imagine if that's not the case.
This place'll be worse than Black Friday in the USA.

Maybe it only has 10 tracks because of artistic reasons, we should wait to understand Ayu's vision.
