17 tracks please, or I'm gonna call Ayu a lazy pig

[freedreamer]

but teens' case with SEVEN DAYS WAR is kinda different though...teens was for TRF. SEVEN DAYS WAR is a song Ayu covered herself...and it has special meaning to her. It could be a bonus.

[YuriChan]

But then again... Nobody expected RED LINE ~for TA~ to on RnRC either and it did! XDD

[Abby]

OOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMHHHHHHHHHHEAVENNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!! !!

I agree with soooooooooooooooo many people here that I feel as if MY excitement were spread all over this thread!!!!!!!!

Why AYU!? How AYU!!?? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah~~~~~

I can't contain myself!!!!!

Yeah but RED LINE is not a cover. But anything is possible. I love the song very much but the only way I'd like to see it on the album is as a bonus track.

That's true... But I think it won't be on the album at all. But that's just me!

[yamadashun]

and again, i wonder if it has anything to do with her visiting to Dubai months ago...

a new cover in Dubai Beach?

What's the difference between SEVEN DAYS WAR being a bonus track and being on the album...

In either case, it'd be on the album.

Personally, I think it would be even stranger if Ayu put a song that was included on a previous single as a "bonus track" to her new album versus just putting in a cover song.

And it's not like it's some random song that stands out in her discography, SEVEN DAYS WAR feels more "ayu" than even Bold & Delicious does. (to me)

I'm on the fence on whether or not I think it will be included, but if it was, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

It's a mental thing. Some people would probably think, as always, that if Ayu includes an extra song from a single that means a potential album track will be left out. Usually they think such things about interludes. So if SDW is a "bonus track," people will probably be like, "OH SO MANY NEW TRACKS!" instead of "Why is SDW on there? It should be a new song!" I personally do not feel like this but I just don't wanna hear the ******** so I don't want it on there xD;

Pizza/fried chicken sounds like delicious food while watching movies/sports. The combo (p/f/cake) is a weirdo at x'mas for me. I want roasted beef/chicken, salad, pasta, soup, any gourmet dish (you can think of) on the dining table for my x'mas dinner .

I can't recall if people were hoping that teen would be on Secret, but I didn't expect that. So far she hasn't put B-sides or stuff she didn't write on her albums with the exception of RED and 卒業写真. The former one was written by her so I can see putting it on her studio album. The latter one was on A BALLADS, and it's just a compilation/remix album.

Of course I dun rule out the possibility of SDW on the upcoming album. But I dun really like that song, so it's ok if it's not included in the end .

[ストロボ・EdGE]

For me SDW certainly feels as much of a part of her music as songs she's actually written herself which is a feeling I don't get from Sotsugyou shashin for example. Idk I don't like LOVE the song the way I love crossroad, but I feel it's really special and was a really good choice.

It was! I wasn't sure how it would sound when I heard the original but Ayu's mature, deep, sexy voice pretty much makes the song worth listening to.

lol with all that she has done this year (2 albums, 3 singles, long tour, taking the time to respond to an endless amount of moronic tweets) nobody better be calling ayu lazy this year

[pepper]

I don't expect SDW on the album.

And I DONT want a mini-album! It's nothing like album, you will get one song and new pictures of Ayu.;d It's just like a new package of singles.

I want to have more songs and bigger promo <3 And at least 2-3 new pv's! ;d

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Yeah she totally made it hers. So while I wouldn't mind it to be on the album, I personally think it'd be best to leave it just on crossroad, because it really did make that single more special. crossroad for me followed a good path like MW did, having a super strong single A-side coupled with a fantastic B-side.

oh you know I'm a huge Ayu-stan

anyway, I wouldn't mind SEVEN DAYS WAR on the album; that is if it's gonna be a 17-track album or if SDW were to be a hidden/bonus track. Because it would bug/irk me to know that instead of a brand new song, we get a cover song to take up space on an album lol.

But if it's gonna be an interlude, then okay, I'd rather want SEVEN DAYS WEAR

Guys! lets tweet AYU till she just MAKES one!!

[truehappiness]

Secret, actually, was her last "close to Christmas" album release. Unless you count GUILTY, which I don't, since that was AFTER Christmas.

GUILTY came out on Christmas day as a special ~early release~ but I don't really know if that counts, haha.

[Jwiz]

Hopefully she will release it by Christmas, as the year end festival will help her album sell better.
