This is probably the longest amount of time she's worked on an album since .... EVER?!

I dunno, (miss)understood was worked on when she did Bold&Delicious some time in September/October, and at the time she also did Startin'/Born To Be... too...

-shakes head-

What is she gonna do?! 17/18/19 tracks!?

I'm pretty sure this album is going to make my head explode when I listen to it.

I really really really want 17 tracks. (miss)understood had 16, MY STORY had 17, ASFXX had 16, LOVEppears had 16; other than that albums have been anywhere from 12 tracks to 15. It's not like she won't manage 17 tracks, and by the amount of time she's spent in the studio, she probably has the material for it!

My hunch about the initial album thing [14 tracks planned] was that she had the singles from before, which was four tracks...

Then she did Don't look back / Microphone / Sexy little things in Japan before leaving for Europe, which brings the total to seven and then finished seven more songs in London. (Total = fourteen at this point)

And since she came back to Japan to finish three to four more new tracks, with a grand total of 17-18 tracks?! I will be so surprised if this comes out to be correct. For the most part, my hunches have been right about this album so far.

Mini photobook due to the London hopping, ND CHOW coming back, Ayu shooting four PVs and having 17 video clips, the album title possibly being Rock'n'Roll Circus. It's crazy! It's like Ayu information is coming to me in my dreams! -falls over-

I'm dying for you to be right about this; I really want 17 or 18 tracks, it would be incredible if she did that. Maybe the truth is coming out that her circus is just a load of great surprises.

I want more info! I want to see the covers and I really want to see the tracklist, just to ease the pain of the wait! How long would it be now, 33 days? I can't wait that long! I've become desperate!

That would be great if it would be 17 tracks!

It really seems there were a lot of recording messages that just 14 tracks doesn't make sense even though it just might end up with 14.

Well the covers (or cover) and tracklist should be here in 12-13 days. ^^

I want to be right about it too. Also so that the people who say "lol, this album will only be fourteen tracks, truehappyloser, so suck on that." will eat their words. Then again, I'll have to eat my words if it does end up being 14 tracks, but given all the time that she's had to make this album, I don't think that's the case!

All I really wanted was confirmation was that the album was done, and finally it is done, as I had thought her to tell us way back when people were like "HELLO YOU ARE CRAZY OF COURSE THE ALBUM IS DONE RECORDING" and I was like "I was saying that the album might not be done recording yet, you know..."...

Ugh, it just feels so good for my theories to be proven correct by the one and only Ayu, haha.

To quote myself from about 3 weeks ago in late February:
Quote:
The way I see it, she had two done before the trip to London (Microphone and Sexy little things) and then finished a handful in London / refined vocal tracks on already completed songs... and then flew back to Japan to finish up the remaining tracks for the album which don't seem to have been completed apparently(?) since she'd mentioned still being in a studio all night... blah, it's really taking her longer than usual to finish this album up.

I really wish that were the case, but I feel as though if it was completely finished, she would have a huge blog post saying: "FINALLY! Expect news about the new album soon! -winkwinksmiley-" or something considering how candid she's been about her trips to the studio

The basis of your argument imo lies with someone actually saying that they think that the album is far from done. No one said that! "The album doesn't seem to be finished yet" is not the same as "The album is really far off from being done" which is what you seem to think has been said.

I don't usually doubt a person; or rather, I don't just go say 'that's not true' or 'you've got to be wrong' because then I'll be stuck eating my words. Rather, I wait and let time tell. In the end, not that I doubted it, you were right; she would tell us the moment she finished the album, and she wouldn't leave us to assume when it was done.

Now having so much faith in your psychic skills, I hope you're right about 17/18 tracks! It does make sense for there to be that many tracks on the album, considering the time spent recording and such.

So we have to wait about 12 days for the tracklist?! ...I'll manage, I'll manage...I hope.

Yes, most of the time, I formulate my theories and hypotheses about Ayu from previously gathered data/information that she has given us via her blog and other sources. It's like... she's told us when she was done for the last few albums... why should she stop now?! You know? She follows a rather strict pattern when it comes to stuff like this, and she doesn't really let go of it. Though recently, her release pattern has been anything but a pattern. It's been so all over the place, I can't even estimate when new singles are coming out anymore, haha. For some reason though, when it comes to stuff like this, people seem to think I'm just talking out of my ~~~~~ or that I'm trying to simply prove them wrong because I disagree when I'm really basing what I think on factual evidence from the past... hello, people, it's called research, you know?

I sort of wonder about whether or not Ayu will follow what happened with NEXT LEVEL in terms of cover releasing/PVs/etc... since all of that finished rather early compared to the actual album finishing... but who knows! Maybe this is another hunch that the covers will be out sooner than 2 weeks from now~~~

[20,888! LUCKY! Fat fat fat! It's a Chinese thing, haha.]

I'm not sure because it wasn't mentioned at YA

I don't really get pessimistic people it's like you can't hope or even dream when you're with them.

I want to see the covers now. I'm imagining some weirds things on my mind.

Most of the time, anyone who preorders will be guaranteed a first press. At least with Ayu, that's the case because they print so many.

As we all know, the calendars are ALWAYS postponed by at least a month every year~ (It's very common and has happened every year since I became a fan.)

And You were... was special in that Hatsukoi [a HUGE single] got released on the same day, so somehow avex got to switch it to a safer date at 12/29 for the #1. Shifty, I know, but it happened and I don't really care, haha.
