I assume that It will be the same as FIVE, Tales cover and code for the game. It's just my opinion.

[Aderianu]

CD tracklist will be the same for all 3 versions

I would be happy with monthly mini-albums with 3 new tracks as long as the extra tracks aren't just remixes. Stuff like 15th Anniversary versions, piano versions or demo/outtakes are much appealing IMO.

I would kinda hope that it will finish with a 2CD+2DVD album where the 2nd CD has covers of ayu's songs by other artists (like trf's 15th anni album) and the 2nd DVD will be the CDL or AT 2012.

The tracklist looks like a 4 A-sides single...
And actually Ayu is not getting tired of releasing stuffs, O.O
I hope fans will support them too and don't get tired

(Just my opinion)

Agreed

I think the only issue with having 5 mini albums in a row with 3 songs each is that people might not be able to buy everything, haha.

But but but
What if the ballad is as 'bland' as beloved? Oh no... The guy who composed beloved is also composing this song *DEATH*.
If the wait is for nothing........I mean it's the only thing I'm looking forward too now. Please don't disappoint me Ayu.

But he also did: who..., blossom, MOON, End of the World, and And Then. HOPE STILL EXISTS.

The description seems to say something like...

"The lyrics and melody work well together, it's truly an Ayu ballad" or something. Which is to say that it could kind up a lot like beloved. But I personally loved it so...

I think it's just the matter of taste! i myself enjoy beloved a lot so another one like that 's great!

[happiholic★]

The DVD on this "album" is so lacking its not even funny. Only two of the songs get a PV and only one of them gets a making of? Disappointment.

Also, I would still get it considering that this is an album and the tracks won't be released again, but I get the feeling that the last of these releases is going to be A BEST OF THE PAST 4 RELEASES.

As of right now, I'm on the fence. If the CD+DVD versions aren't limited, I might wait until the very end and then buy them all at once

^But isn't a "true" Ayu ballad a song like "CAROLS", "Dearest", "HANABI", "M", "Voyage" or even "JEWEL"?
Oh I'd love a JEWEL-esque song. That'd make my year.
But if it does sound like beloved, then maybe the harmony won't be all weird. I think that Ayu's voice is just messy in the song. The piano at the beginning just sucked me in. And the post chorus before the 2nd verse is great. But the mid section and chorus and most of the song is dry *tear*. The composer did a better job with For My Dear IMO. that "kamoshirenai" that Ayu says is just amazing. It's way more emotional than beloved ever will be (did I just 'stan' for ASfXX?)

[truehappiness]

beloved just gives me hope. It's that chorus... ahhh~ IIRC, it was mentioned to be a very "Ayu" ballad as well, kind of. The Japanese have a different perception of what an Ayu ballad is anyway. I think for them, it's like... walking proud.

DVD-wise, I'm pretty sure they're holding back because they're going to end up with 10+ PVs by the end of this.

[jbrat2219]

I hope so. Because I want all 5 but I'm not paying top dollar for the CD+DVD!

[truehappiness]

Knowing of their latest tactics... it will very likely end up that Memory's making is going to be streaming only.

And Missing's PV will be on the December release. Though this is just a theory.

YAY!! links finally posted...
coolness!

[BluishDays]

What omg

new releases >.> Need money lol

Something to look forward to

I was just thinking how it's been slow ( Which is good for wallet )

But now not slow anymore ^-^ so . . .
There' goes the money

[Taishaku]

It looks like a maxi-single instead of a mini-album! Kinda like those singles before Free & Easy, when they used to have more than 10 tracks (most of them remixes)... Makes you feel like it's 2000-2001 all over again.

[Gustavopc]

I dont think she's gonna put out five mini albums with three songs each one, it'd be much better if she released three mini albums with five songs

Pretty sure there's a Live DVD release between these five things, but I wont try to guess further, otherwise it may be a huge let down, I don't know how to put less expectations on things lol

[TeamAyu2004]

^ I really dont think its going to be 5 mini albums...

and the info said releases... I dont think it said anywhere that it was going to all be music.
