I am excited to hear a new song, but just amazed at how many people think progress is really that epic. It is like at the bottom of the totem pole as far as her "epic" rock songs go. Just saying.

yay! hopefully it's gonna be something powerful like progress

"progress" felt old after a few plays. I only listened to it during "FIVE" era then never really gave it a place on my MP3-Player again ._.

I'm just excited about the slight possibility of a new single. It's about time. (two years, ayu. Your last single was two years ago)

That's exactly how I feel about progress... at times. Sometimes I love it, sometimes it's just so boring. I think it contains both old and new qualities.

this is freaking good news

TeamAyu2004 · #**111** 4th June 2012, 03:19 AM

I would just like more news on the single front...
I hope she winds up releasing another album this year... that would be amazing!

Delicious n Bold · #**112** 4th June 2012, 03:21 AM

^ maybe she'll pull a 2010 in 2012. I wouldn't mind. An album from BOTH ayu and angela aki in the same year would be like finding the fountain of youth AND winning the lottery.

curious... this might mean the album could be like Love songs with its wintery ballads. OOOOH I NEED THIS.

TeamAyu2004 · #**113** 4th June 2012, 03:37 AM

^ Well, not like 2010, since Love songs didn't appear on the charts till 2011 (although I think it was that 2 week rule maybe? i forget) But Love Songs was technically the first album of 2011 to reach number 1.
I would like her to release something to keep her number 1 album streak going.

Delicious n Bold · #**114** 4th June 2012, 04:27 AM

Wasn't love songs released in 2010? wikipedia said it was December 22, 2010. It could have, at worst, pulled a GUILTY and release early.
CDJapan also lists its release date as Dec 22, 2010. Regardless, I go by the date it is first available. The month or year it charts in Oricon doesn't matter. If it's released Dec 29 and doesn't chart until January, it's still a Dec release to me.

Also, I have a question: when was progress first made available to listen? A few months before Tales of Xillia came out? I have no idea since I got into the ayu loop in Jan 2012.

TeamAyu2004 · #**115** 4th June 2012, 04:42 AM

Love songs was release on the 22, but didn't chart till the first.
I'm just going by charts and everything.
So although it was released in Dec, it didn't appear until January.

As for progress, I think we got a preview somethjing like a month in advance?

Zeke. · #**116** 4th June 2012, 04:43 AM

We are really talking about album releases already? Lol.

Delicious n Bold · #**117** 4th June 2012, 04:44 AM

Hmm.. a month in advance? Then I guess, at worst, we won't get any new material until the month before the game releases later this year.
Maybe we'll get lucky with a surprise single...

TeamAyu2004 · #**118** 4th June 2012, 04:49 AM

I'm really hoping for an August release (something around the time of a-nation)
and then a Oct single, then a Dec single

Delicious n Bold · #**119** 4th June 2012, 04:52 AM

An end of summer single would tide any August-blues, I believe. Oh, I'd love that.
Even if there's no album, at least some singles would do, you know. I would LOVE something like "the next LOVE" in late october as it starts to get colder. That'd be nostalgic bliss.

TeamAyu2004 · #**120** 4th June 2012, 05:01 AM

NO! no more of that stuff... those were the worse part of Party Queen.
is this LOVE, now that something that needs a part 2 if you ask me.
