That's how desperate a lot of people have gotten for information, haha. It's slowly trickling out though!

YES!

EDIT:
OMG, that video is pure amazing...
I think this might be one of my Favorites by her!
And I need to say it again... that dress is beautiful!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Wow...no happy love songs. ayu really must be in a dark place. hm.

funny because her releases usually coincide with my life...but I'm in love and in a happy place. maybe we've shifted for a bit.

After reading the new info tokyoxjapanxfan posted from S Cawaii, I'm actually getting excited about the album. NO HAPPY LOVE SONGS!

[Jester]

PV looks amazing
PS. OMG, Koh Masaki is in the PV too!! LOL

[freedreamer]

Usually when do the CMs for her album get released? because that's all im left with to see now haha

[truehappiness]

Around this time. If not now, then next week. They post it on her mu-mo page first usually.

It's kinda like you're excited that ayu is in a dark place...lol I get it though...some of her best music comes from dark places, but the catch 22 is that she's not happy. :/

[TeamAyu2004]

I love her darker stuff. it's so much more personal and emotional...
it's true ayumi...
I love her happy stuff, but sometimes it just seems too forced for me.

[yamadashun]

so excited to read ayu explaining her tracklist!

ayu + "ore" + Tell me why = reminds me of Microphone!

really curious towards the next LOVE and Eyes, Smoke, Magic.

and yay to "There are zero happy love songs"!! but isn't how beautiful you are considered love song?

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^when/where did she "explain her tracklist?"

Where are you guys getting this from? About the no happy love songs thing too...

[truehappiness]

I don't think of how beautiful you are as a love song but more as a self empowerment track.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

The lyrics COULD be interpreted as a love song, but it does seem like more of a self-empowering ballad.

[TeamAyu2004]

it was posted a few pages back... let me see if i can find it!

EDIT:
here you go

-Eyes, Smoke, Magic and the last LOVE were composed by Timmy, they are musical-esque.
-Return Road and Virgin Road have no relation, even though many people have asked her.
-Shake It♥ is "gay" sounding (?). The "girls" in the lyrics is in reference to gay men, and how they refer to themselves in that way.*
-Tell me why uses the very masculine form of "I", "ore", which the first time she has done so in her lyrics.

*She used the word オカマ/okama when referencing Shake It♥, if that helps anyone. In Japan, many feminine gay men use "atashi" when referring to themselves, which is the feminine way of saying "I" in Japanese.
**She also mentioned the song which she wrote in the airplane going to London, but...I don't remember which haha. I think it was reminds me, but I can't verify that until proper scans come out.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^ahhh I missed that...if I come home and there are pages and pages of posts, I don't go through them all...haha thanks

[microphone]

Yes! I'm happy to hear there are many dark songs.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^I guess it's to be expected, given when she probably wrote the lyrics for these tracks.

I hope they're a dance-y, upbeat kind of dark though lol
