Not really. I mean look at BoA, her MI20 and OUTGROW singles' sales were bad yet she still managed to get the #1's. Right now, I don't think it will be a problem for Ayu unless some other big artist releases on during the New Year/post Christmas period.

if i was not mistaken, she was recording for a new song in LA rite?
perhaps there'll be a new single in dec, and new album in 1/1

but then it's gonna be like B&D/pride, 1 month before (m)u ?

[ohsixthirty]

i doubt they'd announce the new album before a new single... but who knows.

This is cool. I'll wait for the OS version

[truehappiness]

Honestly, the only thing that two singles on an album could do is just make her first week sales like maybe 350k instead of 400k. :|

If that happens the sales of the single might not be so good because people will just wait for the album.

NO NO NO.


NO NO NO.

plus, everyone complained before that she released too many singles and there wasn't enough new material on the album. think of all the new material you'll get this time!

[bondingo]

YES!!!



I can't tell you how happy this makes me. I really thought she wouldn't be releasing one around her usual time either, but I guess she will. A TA newsletter is official (obviously), so I'm ecstatic to hear this. I can't wait to see the cover and hear the title. There must be plenty of new songs too considering how there's only been 4 since (m)u, not counting part of Me.

As for the new recorded song, I'm pretty sure it will be like JEWEL, an album track that's promoted for the album (i.e. she sings it live and there's a PV for it).

That's going to ruin her #1 thing, which avex wouldn't do.

[Neo Daydream]

YAY! ^^ I'm so excited! can't wait 4 this new album! ^^

[norain]

I doubt a single, but I expect a Jewel/1LOVE type of promotion the "it was supposed to be a single" promotional songs.

I think after this she'll probably release like 5 singles to make up for the past 2 albums having only two singles. That or something, at least four. Three or four is the usual...

Anyway, this will have a lot of new content, 10 tracks at the minimum I'm guessing! I hope it's good.

[Lee^ChaN]

that's what i meant..

but ballad single for december is just awesome..

!! just can't wait !!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

well, no doubt im excited, but, im rather disapointed that there wont be another single (as of yet.) i hope this doesnt become normal for her, 2 singles, then an album. but i suppose that this year was thrown off a bit from a best 2, it took out a lot of time she could have had putting out a single, and she probably still wanted to get to her 1/1 date. i'll no doubt buy both though

do you think the photobook will be small, like the ones with (m)u? or big..like, a normal photobook (uraayu type)?

anyway, i'll definitely buy it hope there will be a bunch of PV's hopefully like...4 hahahaha

[stardusties]

^ I think it'll be like (m)u

Amber's got a new christmas gift!!!

[AyuGAME]

then she will have a long time to promote this album
december usually will be a busy month for ayu, where she perform everywhere, hopefully its help the sales of this album...really excited

[ayu_fan929]

Wonder how many album tracks there'll be....8? (To make 12 songs?)

[Kumichan]

Yeah! New Album and New Song!
But I'm a bit disappointed Because I really want her Winter Ballad Single (T-T)
