14th album out February 8th, 4th of five 15th anniversary releases

[kinix]

Since people keep complaining that LOVE and again is a single... I see no arguments if the songs were added into the album >.<
I'm having hard time digesting all the new songs...

[mi|kshake]

Pre-ordered the CD + blu-ray! Really hope that none of the songs from Love or Again are included as this campaign was promoted as having a new release every month.

mi|kshake~

I'm afraid of what kind of goods it will be .... Knowing her, it'll be a heart-shaped pouch or something girly and/or pink ...

I preordered the CD only and CD+BR+Goods from CDJ. Ordered with my boyfriends card and it got declined because of the ****ing bank. I hate that ****. He talked to the bank and CDJ said they'll automatically try it again. Better ****ing work because the BR+goods is now out of print. I guess if worse comes to worst, I'll just use my card. It was supposed to be a Christmas gift from him though lol

So

My music taste is superior to everything, end of story. Lol.



Shoot me in the ****ing face. Lol.

[Delicious n Bold]

Well, anyone who loves Days long time definitely has good taste..

[Indie]

Days is awesome.

[isthisLOL?]

Moon is a better and more skillful composition than anything Ayumi has ever composed though.
I don't think I've ever heard use of a 17/4 time signature combined with off-beat vocals more excellent than Moon, hell, I don't think I've ever heard that done well before Moon at all.

Days, when compared directly to Moon, is a piece of generic, predictable, unimaginative crap that should be banished from existence.

[isthisLOL?]

Oh, look whose songs and videos are far superior to Ayumi's!

[Yoake]

I preordered it. I decided to buy the CD & the CD+DVD+GOODS versions. If the cover for the CD+DVD version is not the same that the limited press, I'll buy it later.

Days is quite simple but it is perfect in it's simplicity. It seems as if that song was born to sound exactly that way. With that exact arrangement. Everything just works for that song. The flow is absolutely perfect - there is a clear distinction between chorus and verse and it feels "complete" - that is why Days is so amazing!

I don't care if Bjork is being innovative in that song - it all just sound like wailing and does not settle well, regardless of the mathematics behind the music theory and composition. Notice everyone who commented after I made a joke about Bjork's music being creative but not very enjoyable to listen to, agreed with me. You were the first person to come in and say "this is why we laugh at your music tastes sometimes", lol.

idk how Days is generic. If there's something like Days on the new album, I'll love it. I played it on repeat literally over and over and over when it first came out.

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

^ i kind of understand the generic argument, but songs don't need to be epic all the time. the music goes well with the lyrics (and video, save for the cheesy dance practice parts/random woman's hand with the ring). Its supposed to be subtle and bittersweet.

[pimenta]

Pre-ordered CD+DVD+GOODS and CD only! Might pre-order CD+Blu-ray as well if the cover is different than the limited version.

For me, I rather have a "generic" and "not unique" great song than an "unique" song if this last one isn't any good for my ears... Just because a song is unique it doesn't make it amazing, it only depends on each person's taste, and trying to discuss what's better and what's worst based on personal taste will be an endless discussion...

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Days is awesome. Beautiful winter ballad, with a cute videoclip. Don't know what so 'not unique' about it. The only reason I could give is that it has a theme Ayu has done multiple times before, but I think she certainly gives her own twists to her winterballads. Would love to know what you would change about it to be more 'outstanding' of the J-Pop Winterballadworld. Especially from you, isthisLOL?

[taskinillusion]

Why don't we all have an argument over the individual likes we each have and how everyone who doesn't like what you like for the reasons you like it suck and thus deserve to be belittled, when in reality, if everyone liked all the same crap everyone else did all of the time, this world would be pretty dull, but gee, then I guess we'd all get along because we wouldn't be throwing petty insults around over individual tastes in music.

Don't forget the leopard print!

If they do decide to include LOVE/again then I imagine they would skip over tracks without PVs. Although if they're encouraging fans to buy a copy of each of the five releases then hopefully they'll be wise enough to not include anything they've already released.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Personally my thought are that the reason Love and again were mini albums is so there was no reason or expectations of putting them on the album.

I swear if they were singles and they were left off the album, people would be all "maaaaah but I want them all to be on one release maahhh"

+- the "maaah"

I can't wait for more info :-)

If she does put them on the album though, I think there'd be a lot of backlash. Although she seems to care less about backlash. So...

[ayumisrael]

Maybe people should start tweeting/TA messaging now and in masses before she lets the disaster happen if at all XD but I trust ayu.

[adantatu2]

"The mini-albums are singles, so they need to be on the album,
wait, they are mini-albums, they shouldn't be on the album"

Guys, please just wait, i can't believe you are already angry, and we don't have the tracklist yet.
