great coverage (I think)

[Ryusei]

Even if they say "album" it's still a mini-album they can't change facts just by saying something...

[AyuGAME]

It's 6 tracks though and the length is long enough for the album...

[rainbow_smile]

Okay, I can finally hear the Shape of love ending~Summer diary intro thing. But had to make the volume extremely loud, otherwise it's not really noticeable.

[AyuGAME]

sell sell sell sell please
please get a well sell Sixxxxxxx...

Sayonara finally reached 500k view, Looks like Sayonara and Summer diary will be another million youtube viewer video as well.

Dreams come true best album selling like a hot cake...It's already three weeks in a row that they got number one. I think this week they will get number one as well. Looks like DCT best album will be another tough competition for Ayu.

[Zeke.]

Honestly, it's gotta be the mixing! The difference in quality is huge between the pieces from yesteryear composed and arranged by the same people. You don't just get worse over time. Or they are just really amateur with the new programs they are using. Either that or avex has decreased the amount of sound banks they have to choose from (although I would think as arrangers they would have access to their own).

Nah this week V6 will get the #1 spot but that's beside the point, it really annoys me how that DCT album is doing IMO they're overrated AF, but I honestly can't see them get less sales than Ayu -_____-

Cdjapan shipped my copy today! Can't wait to receive it and finally listen to it. I really hope this mini album manage to sell well, it seems this release it is really on point and Ayu is working hard to show everyone the "real ayu" is back.
It is kind of weird they marketed this as an album, but it isn't that upsetting as the thing they did with the "minis" Love and again...

Thanks for posting~

I updated all the lyrics with the official ones. Only Summer diary's translation need one change.

Memorial address has a longer track list than sixxxxxx though. I think they're just saying "New album" because mini album is still technically an album, but shorter and it's not a really big deal.

[Aderianu]

minis always chart on oricon with full albums. so who care?

[rainbow_smile]

I think it would have been worth the fuss if it was priced like a full album, but it's not, so it shouldn't really matter in my opinion

[Coelacanth]

Looks like tasuku is the weak link on this album.

This is the same guy who arranged About You, HANABI ep. II, reminds me... Poor guy needs to do some soul searching.

[pimenta]

Yeah, the sixxxxxx will chart on the album's chart, so not really a big deal to not include "mini" on the description.

If anything, it's good it's being called a "new album". This way it becomes much less likely that she would put those songs in another album like LOVE again.

Oh yeah, that actually crossed my mind, too! Maybe they're afraid that if they label sixxxxxx as a mini people will relate it to the LOVE again "fiasco" (as some people have actually already done here on AHS), and avex doesn't want this to hurt the sales.

[Benikari47]

I'm surprised by how much i'm loving this mini, her best work since FIVE or even Rock 'N Roll Circus imo.
Although i did like A ONE it was just listenable and a minor step up from LOVE Again, which was a snoozefest all around.

I can see myself listening to all of the songs on here in the future, Shape of Love and Summer Diary are so incredible!

[stivenoto]

Got my cd+dvd today.. Time to listen ayu's new songs...
