MADE IN JAPAN song titles + lyric teasers on social media

[ayumint]

Caption is ready but Ayu is probably choosing the photo to upload with lol

[MessiahofSilence]

I'm full of anticipation too, haha.
Hit my bussy with new lyric snippet + hot looks, kween!

[truehappiness]

I bet the working title for hbya was originally "You don't know how beautiful you are" - Timmy.

Also I feel like the album is heading in a direction like...

Intro / spring interlude
3 or 4 songs
summer interlude
3 or 4 songs
fall interlude
3 or 4 songs
winter interlude
3 or 4 songs
???

Ideally, that is.

It's cool how we were just talking about seasons and Ayu's songs like 2 months ago and now they pop up here.

Well, just thank jesusaki that it was not U R DA ONLY 1.

Rihanna would sue.

But in all fairness, Ayu has come real close to doing Rihanna. I've noticed some striking similarities between the quality of Thank You and Work, except that Ayu doesn't slur so much toward the end.

The repetition I would guess.

I think "You're the only one" sounds and looks a little bit better, but whatever.

[ayumint]

Nothing from today = interlude with no lyrics
So we have 3 songs with 1 interlude now haha
It's just joking tee-hee

[Aderianu]

Maybe she show songs that she will sing at the tour, not whole album

[truehappiness]

Hm, no hashtag for the day seems so odd! Still have hope!

Maybe it's in regards to the seasonal chapters? It's just a thought, but now it's spring and we got a few songs.

June is rainy season, so maybe in June we'll get a few more titles/lyrics, then in July ( summer) we'll get more? But it seems like there's at least one more chapter, if not more, so if that's the case we'd be going into fall which would be a lot of time to tease an album lol.

So actually, yeah this probably isn't the case at all haha.

This would be so cool.

Maybe she will surprise us tonight instead? Also, has Ayu explicitly said in an interview that this album will be based upon seasons, or is it all just speculation? It would be a really cool concept if she did, and a break from her recent formula.

It was said in an article that Ayu retweeted. I'm quoting myself from the album thread, this is roughly what they said:

Seems like they're saying that the lyrics are similar to her signature writing style, it's honest and self-critical? The songs remind of the four seasons: fierce, strong, pure, sweet, something about solitude and darkness... It combines different sides of Ayumi Hamasaki. They also said something about her coming back to Japan after being away in LA,, and the music after that has been some sort of a warming-up for her?

Apparently this album is a return to form, "awakening" of Ayumi Hamasaki, a new NEXT LEVEL and was challenging for her. "That's the Ayu we've been waiting for"

The tour will include the new songs.

Thanks rainbow_smile! I'm glad that such a positive review already exists.

Also, 'surviver' hmmm. I'm hoping that is a typo hahaha.

Are these photos also speculated to be the album shoot, or are they just off-shots from the Numero Tokyo shoot?

She's also been doing TA entries about the seasons and how they're split up.

I wonder if she's hinting at the flow of the concert and album.

I think it is definitely the album shoot. Look at sixxxxxx and LOVE.

I have a feeling it will be too. Surely this means we will be getting the album soon, if she is revealing everything. I won't be impressed if we have the album titles + album shots months before it is released, unless she is going to market it like a boss.

My collaborator translated from Japanese to Portuguese, though as I do not have the competence to trazudir from Portuguese to English, so I'll leave the link so you can use the translator of the text in the blog, may have a clearer idea content.
