I really don't want any collaborations with anyone.

I don't really care for TK so him being there is

for me. Maybe this time he'll make a memorable song.

I actually like A Song is Born...but it's more...idk a nostalgia liking. Cause that 9/11 concert was one of the first performances of japanese artists I ever saw, and it had Ayu x keiko, boa x koda, and verbal x namie and I loved it so much back in the day lol

WOW WAR TONIGHT should totally be in the new album. I think it suited her and a-nation very well. of coz, i mean it as a bonus track

I'm a huge fan of NEXT LEVEL lately. It's just so.. different than her other works. But in a good way. How do I explain it?
I like RNRC & Love Songs as well, but I'm longing for another NEXT LEVEL, GUILTY, or (miss) understood.

Well kinda hoping for something like Memorial Address of sth. Or even Rainbow will do. But tbh Love songs should sold a million if she released it during her prime it'll do better than I am imo.

Kazeyomi · #**305** 21st November 2011, 03:01 AM

what if she's recording a cover album

AHS rage in 3..2..1

pommy48 · #**306** 21st November 2011, 03:21 AM

I'm more raging about the fact that she never recorded Haru yo koi because that cover on Music Fair was just perfect

*hearT_Place* · #**307** 21st November 2011, 03:37 AM

^I know, right? I LOVE her rendition of Haru yo, koi

It was for me too, now that I think about it. It was definitely my first time seeing a live of BoA and Kuu, as well as Amuro Namie and VERBAL (I remember being surprised Namie's hair in that live, b/c it was completely different from what I knew of her image at the time lol.

I wonder when we will get any more news about the album. Probably after New Years?

True, but I just love the bridge in Why..., and it just won't be the same if ayu was singing that alone. That said, the most "typical" ayu song on the whole mini-album has got to be progress. My first thought when I listened to the preview on the ToX game trailer was "now THAT'S an ayu song"

She may just do it if we mass-tweet her or something. Or at least if we did before that MSta saga that caused her to drop Twitter...

ストロボ・EdGE · #**309** 21st November 2011, 05:11 AM

I still can't get over how progress just sounds like blossom regurgitated to me and why she chose it as a lead track. IDK. But it definitely is "more Ayu," or at least more nowadays Ayu, than the rest.

A cover album would be pretty cool... It'd probably be all songs no one knows though.

Or if anything, what she should do is just... release an album of collaborations only, just to get it out of her system. Then she can never collaborate with anyone else again. That would be fine. >_> Just please, no collaborations mucking up your own studio album, Ayu. I am BEGGING you. D:

In my honest opinion I always thought that ayu did her part just fine!

LONJJONG · #**311** 21st November 2011, 08:34 AM

I am hoping for MY STORY-like album!
It's perfect <3

saigodansu · #**312** 21st November 2011, 08:34 AM

I'm hoping a Christmas album, some like she permormed on TV specials and Ayu Ready and some new written by her since she just mentioned writing 3 new songs.

saigodansu · #**313** 21st November 2011, 08:38 AM

Of course being a 2012 album that's not likely. I expect atleast the last 2 songs Tim Wellard said he was composing and most likely the rest by TK since he mentioned being in Europe now too. Hopefully over 1/3 of the album gets PVs made for the songs.

**ayumisrael** · #**314** 21st November 2011, 09:10 AM

It will not be a cover album. Remember half of this thread is a discussion on how ayu deleted a song that she wrote?

The bridge in Why... is beautiful! I adore that part of the song and I agree, it would not work solo.

About progress...I feel that on the one hand it's incredibly Ayu, it has that feeling to it only her music has, typical songwriting(genre-, speed-, keychanges)...but on the other hand it also feels different from anything she has done before in the way it puts some anison influences into the mix and the...desperation I feel in it.
Thinking about it...FIVE felt very desperate to me overall. progress, Why..., BRILLANTE.

Andrenekoi · #**316** 21st November 2011, 06:37 PM

^ANother Song also has a desperate feeling...

Earth_maiden · #**317** 21st November 2011, 07:57 PM

I just want one or two upbeat, bouncy, summery songs, minimal interludes, an epic, individual song (like kiss o' kill, Marionette, BRILLANTE, criminal, etc), a ballad with a choir of some sort, and... a collab with Timmy, vocals and all.

That's my dream new album.

The rest I'm not fussed with, the only songs of Ayu's I don't like are on her first album ASFXX, so I know I won't be disappointed.

That one feels somewhat...plastic-desperate to me.

You aren't the only one ;3 I like AAA's version of it, haven't heard ayu one, but I will! And I would love to have it on the next album!~<3

haha yes

well I was just kidding, even if I wouldn't mind a cover album by her. With Haru yo koi, of course
