[Official Message] NEW MINI ALBUM『FIVE』 2011.8.31 in stores ~IV~

[Mirrorcle Monster]

I don´t think it will be an animated PV. Anyway, the fact that there is a -making clip- does´t mean that the PV won´t be animated. It could be a making containing some Tales of Xillia making footage, Ayu visiting the company offices etc

[LastAngel]

Honestly speaking, I wouldn't mind an animated PV as long as it features ayupan
But that's probably never gonna happen XD

[Bubbly]

I think on the album we get a real PV but i wouldn't be surprised if a game pv shows up as some special sometime

[douggn]

I hope the PV's are not boring, not saying they are bad if they are. Example: Crossroad, I love the PV but not much is going on in it. I hope they stay as good as what Love song/Last angel/do it again PV's were. PV's that make you want to finish's watching it all no matter how many times you've seen it

[Mirrorcle Monster]

^ Love Songs PVs were disappointing IMO. The budget was so high and they could be amazing. But the storyline was confusing and I didnt really get it

[Bubbly]

^
I agree. ALso Do It Again was pretty boring imo

[douggn]

I don't want them like Love songs PV but more on keeping with how theirs more story to the PV's. do it again has a interesting background which develops through the song but the ending was a bit of a disappointment for me but compared to Crossroad, when shes basically in one room sitting. Its still a good PV but I can live without seeing it for awhile

[Key ~eternal tie~]

I'd love to see more epic PVs. In my opinion, BALLAD, momentum and Virgin Road were really memorable.

[joshohhhhh]

most of the PVs tend to be good for a minute or two and then fizzle into boring oblivion.

[Tony G]

I loved love song/last angel PVs, interesting and kept you guessing.

do it again was a bit boring though, could have done so much more with that backdrop.

[freedreamer]

if progress has a short version..then it'll only have the ballad part of it..LOL..that would be quite weird

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

they just ruin everything with the short versions, it doesn't leave me in "suspense" or anything like that, it makes me angry, anxious and disappointed.

It's the crappiest way to spoil things.


So, if we do get short versions, I'm gonna ignore them and wait to get my copy.

[douggn]

^ I agree, short ver. only ruinin the whole pv experience. I'm happy just seeing them in the albums cm (•˘˛˘•)

[Zeke.]

I kep forgetting that this is an album. I'm not excited for it as I would be a full album. I'm excited, but it's that "new single" excitement I feel inside. So I keep reminding myself this is an album...

[gogirlanime]

About 2 weeks away and still no PVs I'm dyiiiiiiiiiing Ayu COME ON

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I still can't believe there are no singles O____O

I have a bit of OCD so, what's going to happen when we get a next best album (like A COMPLETE)!? No track from FIVE!?!?!?! THIS IS A MESS


Anyway xD Yeah.... :/ The CDL promo isn't even on the website, and they also need to put out (lol) the album cm too.

Worst promotion ever.

I hate to admit it but I think this might be a big turning point in Ayu's career. We all know sales are declining, everyone's are and considering her time in the business. But she has yet to hit a low and "bounce" back. Namie was unpopular for a while right? I just feel this album with as little promo as it has gotten, will not appeal to the masses. There are no singles, and that's what draws in the casual fans. Plus, we know there has been many questions like "...huh?" when it comes to Ayu and all the collaborations this time around (on record and on stage) so not all hardcore fans are looking at this as just another Ayu album they can't wait to get. Some might choose to skip this album altogether (I cannote afford it). But yes I am looking forward to the album as I do any other release. But I'm just trying to make a point as to why I believe this will be a low point in sales for Ayu.

Maybe the Tales of thing will work for something.

a song dont need to be a single to be on a best album

[OogoeDiamond]

progress is kind of "promotional song like / main song"

Btw it would be funny if use FIVE as single and put songs in next full album xD
Maki Goto in avex just did that

that's why I mentioned A COMPLETE, another single compilation (hopefully none in like 20 years), and it would completely ignore the existence of FIVE lol
