Depriving myself in the name of a surprise

[Coelacanth]

I'm considering doing it for the new album. I wanna be completely surprised.

[Piccolo]

I've only listen to official releases in the last few years, I rarely listen to previews anymore.

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

I'm holding out as well. The covers, tracklist, and the do it again site preview before the album are the only things I've allowed myself to see and hear. I'm trying to find things that I can become obsessed with so I won't cave in ><''.

[microphone]

you guys have great self-control. applaud!!! I gave in after fighting myself for 20 seconds...

[Yumsushi]

I haven't been on AHS since Love song leaked. I heard it and watched the 30 sec CM and I can honestly say that despite all the ranting and raving I see here from members about the previews, I have no problem holding out until the album comes out.
You can do it~ think of it as the previews not holding up to the full songs.

[Picaflor 7/4]

just so everyone knows, they don't play any music in the commercial, and only show clips of virgin road. They actually do play love song at the very end, but it's like literally, 2 seconds. that means nothing. especially since openings can be very deceiving, look at game, evolution, mirrorcle world, and last angel. who knows what the entire song will sound like in the end?!

[Zeke.]

^ Do they show the album covers?

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

^No. You're safe.

[Picaflor 7/4]

^yeah. lol besides clips of virgin road, and a 3 second clip of the very beginning of love song at the very end of the video, there are no spoilers in it.

[KarenPang]

The beginning of the CM has some footages from 3 songs which're getting PVs ie. Last Angel , Love song & do it again but it wasn't mentioned where the footages were taken from :O

But other than that , it's very ayumi & Mannie driven that's all I can say xD

[tinka69]

I could never have done it...damn my curiosity.

[Zeke.]

Ok, watched the CM. But holding out. Still gotta cancel my order for the special edition and switch to CD only. My Mom was gonna get it for me but said she has something she thinks I really need (I'm guessing it's tires for my car). I was so looking forward to opening it on Christmas but I really don't have money to spend - I have to save. So I actually think this will be the first Ayu CD I end up not getting!

[freedreamer]

It's 1.5 weeks more guys!!!! Be strong!!!
So far it's just Me, track list, covers, cm haha..and singles of course

[StarSUCKER]

Nnnnnnnope. Listening to EVERYTHING as it's available! Which, of course, just makes me impatient to hear the complete album.

But I really can't help myself. And I usually don't order the CD right away bc of money, so yeah.

[NekoF4]

For me there are some artists who I just have to listen to the previews
but i'm quite good at restraining myself.

Good luck with doing this!

Its nice to keep everything a surprise
I most recently did it with K5T-TUN

[Azmaria]

this is actually the third time I am holding on, till I have my album, the hardest for me was Secret though, everyone had sigs of momentum and JEWEL, which almost got me to watch the PVs but I managed not to listen or view anything.

From Love Songs I have only heard the Singles MOON - crossroad - L, after that only covers and thats it. I am kinda happy, the PVs haven't rly released (would be so tempting) and I am avoiding Ayus site, because of the CM XD

[R_Hikki]

I usually hold out on listening to any previews of Utada, Namie and Ayu material but this time I actually came across the Love songs previews by accident. Sorta. I went to the official Ayu website and saw that they had the previews up and I thought "oh, what the hell" so I played them. I regret that I did because I did not like any of the previews for the new material and now I feel uneasy about the whole thing. But I'm hoping that once I buy it and listen to it all in good quality then I'll really enjoy it. Hoping.

[freedreamer]

Someone needs to sustain this thread...with the explosion of discussion about PVs tmr i really cant enter there anymore
probably the first time I dun wanna read comments about the PVs

[Midori-chan]

NEXT WEEK! The album is going to be out NEXT WEEK!!!

Guys be strong!! We can make it!
I just reli, reli hope that my album arrives before Christmas or I might go crazy without the new songs/PVs...but I would still go on waiting!! XDD

[freedreamer]

I know! I know I can be strong..
the news that the PVs are coming out are saddening me BIG TIME because I dun wanna noe the story till then..and with that thought, this remaining days are going to be extremely painful
