She was sitting in front of a keyboard meant she was composing?

I was thinking this as well.

I would really really really love a new song composed by her, it's been ages since the last time she released one of her own compositions

No PVs suck, but I'm not gonna complain about it too much and I certainly won't be disappointed that there isn't some half-assed remix of a dump track from CoLOURS on this release either. If even ONE song out of this single is able to hit it out of the park, I will be satisfied. That's all I need. One "ace" in the form of a grand, winter ballad and I will consider it a gift from God.

Why are you even on this forum? Are you called an ayufan?

It could be better if you can go to other places to comments things you LIKE instead of going to the wrong place commenting things you DON'T LIKE

I'm sorry, usually I'd want to stay out of this but why are you attacking someone for giving an opinion that is their own that they have every right to post about? This is a discussion board, thus there is a discussion. Discussion involves opinions.

You know, I actually look forward to Zeke's posts just about every time because he has interesting things to say. I'm pretty sure everyone else has been saying what they want from Ayu. Why are his posts any different?

I don't want to come across as antagonistic, but if you think someone shouldn't share their opinion on the subject matter at hand then maybe you should go to a different forum that suits that kind of mindset.

Everyone wants different things from the singer's they listen to, different expectations that come from listening to their music. I'm sorry if it seems unfair of us to want things to go how we hope for them to.

But he didn't tell her to do anything? He just said he'd be really happy if he ended up liking one song.

PVs are not a selling point for me as I get CD only versions anyway. My thought is that with the insanity that is holiday shipping, I don't see this being delivered to my door until 2015. Maybe I won't do Fedex shipping this time. CDJapan keeps giving me buyer points because I haven't ordered in a while. Guess I should use them before they expire.

Lmao wut. I'm saying all I need is one ace track to be satisfied while everyone else is proclaiming their disappointment in having no PVs and/or suggesting that even attempting a PV on the other hand could ruin the song. No remixes? Seriously, it's the first "real" single we've had in a while, a TRIPLE A-SIDE at that, and we're complaining about the lack of a remix?

I couldn't be more thrilled that Ayu is releasing a winter ballad single, that is incentive enough for me to be content for the time being until the material is delivered.

Music is the most important thing in my life and Ayu plays a HUGE part in that. Music is my identity and therefore ayu is part of my identity. I think you misunderstand me because I choose to use very strong language for the things I dislike AND love. I practically starved myself for an entire year so I could make my dream of seeing her come true so if you want to doubt my fandom, go ahead; but one thing I can assure you is I am a passionate individual and ayu and her music is something I feel truly passionate about.

I love you, Zeke. You're hot and you like Ayu, and I generally see eye to eye with you. So your haters can eat a misono record.

Overall, I kid about Ayu and avex scaling back... but seriously... will the next single just be an empty case with the artwork?

Lol! That record probably tastes better than it sounds. I think it'd be more torturous if they were forced to listen to it.

Let's focus in the good things and appreciate that ayu is still releasing music because very few artists can say they are still active at 16th anniversary!!

So excited for the single. But, trying to keep it contained.

[ayuuk]

CD only~~
Good

[ストロボ・EdGE]

This is the first triple A-side single titled eponymously. Interesting. I'll buy it.

now you mention. is avex going to rename it to a one-alphabet title in due?

[Beauty4123]

I couldn't be happier to hear about news of a new single! I'm already so totally excited!!!!

I just love the fact that it's a triple a-side & I absolutely love all three song titles, as well. Although, I think if I had to pick a favorite title from the three, it would be "Zutto...". I'm really hoping that we'll be able to hear some previews or something of all three songs very soon! And now I just wish December was already here. But, December will be here before we know it, right? I just know this single will absolutely be worth the wait & I'm totally looking forward to it!

[orbitalaspect]

I smell a love song trilogy though. Zutto meaning "much" or "always"... Last minute... Walk... Maybe another girl falls in love, tries to tell guy but it's too late, has to walk away trilogy?

I too am a bit disappointed there will be no PVs as of yet. But on the same hand, I knew there was going to be a disappointing caveat to the new single. This couldn't possibly go off without something that's generally necessary to the release not being a part of it. First it was promotion, then it was remixes, then it was one PV, then it was no PVs, and now its at all of that plus no CD+DVD release. I'm starting to think her next single will have no instrumentals or no covers or just be a case with no CD in it.

I am happy for the song titles though. And that photo of Ayu is god awful. Her face looks the least photogenic I've ever seen it. And the chick helping her stretch... I swore that was a man in a dress. Ayu has caught the IDGAF bug pretty good I guess.

I'm excited. But I am a bit leery. There will be actual music on this single, right? Like, they didn't take away the background music while Ayu sings, right? Because that could go for the next single...

[BlackSilence]

^i think people mentioned H as being one.

LOL they are stripping down her releases SLOWLY. i guess too much money to spend not worth for the sales? But then again, promoting that would really help at least a bit. I hope they'll do more than drive a truck around shibuya and hang a few billboards.

On the other hand western artists don't really have DVD versions at all. They release the MVs to promote the thing on music channels. You can probably ger them on iTunes or something.

Terminal was CD only, and now this is going to be CD only. I wonder if this is going to be a new trend for her.

[Bigtop]

Other than Terminal...when was the last time an Ayu single had NO PVs???

Yet some of her best selling singles had no PVs while she was at her peak...

[tsumekaze_]

I honestly don't care about the pvs if the quality is that of the latest ones. I'm glad she didn't do pray as I didn't want it ruined. I guess they will come with the album, maybe? I will just save money in buying these singles. Btw not only did H not have any pv but it also didn't have any remix... I guess she is replicating the same formula. Terminal was pretty much a recut single, they don't usually have pvs, and pray was a digital one, so no pv as well. Digital releases never have pvs. I believe it makes sense until now. next single will have pvs, just like FTL/MGR
