It wasn't obvious at ALL.
there is speculation on something, but to say it was obvious yor are not being that right... she had never done something like this before so there was no reason for people to thing she would.
get over yourself people.

Get over myself? I'm not the one having a fit over music. Do I think this is a smart idea? Not in the slightest. Do I think people are allowed to be frustrated? Of course. But there's no excuse for quite a bit of the immaturity and overreaction from the people in this thread.

Some of these same people even emphasized the unimportance of the mini-albums being called singles or mini-albums by saying that it didn't matter and they didn't understand why people were making a big deal when this issue was first presented. Now they're saying that they should have been labeled as singles and they're acting brand new about it like no one tried to forewarn them and like they didn't know that she has been trying to avoid releasing "CDs" labeled singles since "Party Queen" (like how she didn't release any physical single for that album either because she didn't want to break her streak. While I can understand their frustration and disappointment (I would be upset if I purchased them too), you can't say people didn't try to warn you.

Took the words right out of my mouth. It wasn't 100% obvious but it should have been common sense to take into consideration.

we are aloud to have a fit over music when its dealing with a MUSICIAN.
not her love life which most people did have a fit over.

And it's not about he MUSIC it was about the way we were presented with the music. We as fans were told these past two releases where mini albums.
Never before has ayumi releases material on a mini album and then put it on an album. If youw ere going to do that, label them as singles.
The fact of the matter is that the fans were lied too about this whole affair and thats what is so frustrating.
if you dont get that, then dont even bother.

She's also never put instrumentals and remixes on a mini album before. She's also never had mini albums with only 3-4 songs which look remarkably a lot like her past singles used to. They were singles with a different technical name and a majority of her fans on here and other forums could see that. If that isn't putting things into context then there's really nothing left to explain at this point.

[Coelacanth]

I always thought the mini-albums having instrumentals was a bit odd. Regardless, this is stupid.

[emi♡]

Hey, it's business right? She can say it's all for the fans, but her actions speak louder. No hard feelings Ayu. You're a product, I get it.

Maybe the 5 songs will be good. Who knows. I just hope we get some GOD DAMN PROMOTION. If you're going to be a pretty product, let's do it right.

Let's get on TV. Let's take some pretty pictures, and give out goodies. **** your lyrics, and your music, I don't care about who you are really anymore since it doesn't really matter anyway.


Just look pretty and give me stuff. I'll be happy


I hope the inside booklet has some sexy pictures. The covers are pretty, but they're just so typical, lovey...that sort of concept. I know that we wished so long for her to do more simple things, but I mean, after the past few releases, I want her to do something grand again. We've had simple like, for two years now.

[mi|kshake]

HA HA HA well and truely trolled!

I will be canceling my CD + blu-ray version and order the CD only and download the Melody PV for completion purposes only.

mi|kshake~

^ then stop trying to justify it.

I chose to believe her and the company when they said these were mini albums.
get over it.

and mini albums with 3-4 tracks isn't much different then a mini album with 5.
The remixes were just what she said they were. Gifts to the fans, much like the instrumentals. Everything was supposed to be a gift.
But she went up and changed her mind... by putting mini album material on an album.
If that isn't putting things into context then there's really nothing left to explain at this point.

Wow. I don't plan on continuing a discussion with someone who acts like a little 5 year old. I've stated my opinion, you've stated yours, and I figured we could just discuss it like normal human beings but apparently you choose to act like a child in grade school so I'm thinking that's enough of this.

Anyway, before I go too off topic, I think I'm most excited for "untitled for her... story 2", seeing as the first one is actually one of my favorite ballads of hers.

Who lied to you ? There is a law who forbid a singer to not put a mini album tracks on Album ?
Don't be so worried ^^

This is what I'm saying. Using the logic that she's never put mini albums onto a studio album before, she should have also never put instrumentals and remixes on a mini album since she's "never done that before" either.

its not a law, its the fact that she has NEVER done it before...
its wasn't expected at all.
If this was something she had done before there wouldnt be a problem.

She HAS put remixes on mini albums before so thats not really a surprise. but no reason to be embarrassed over it, you just dont get it.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ thank you.
thats what gets me... the lies.
Im fine with the fact that the singles are on the album, but that fact that they labeled them mini's... making be believe that this would not happen is what pisses me off.

me? lol... yeah, okay... I see how it is...
You cant come up with anything else to the reason why I should get over it.

but thats cool. I made my point, you didnt make yours.
Everyone things that they have a valid opinion.
Im done.

Now... what I didn't think about would be cool if they were different mixes.. "album" mixes would be a nice change, but i doubt she will do that...
she's no longer the musician I thought she was.

[mizuki-7]

Gifts to the fans

A gift is something free from the moment you have to pay for it's not a gift lol (I'm kidding)

I think since the debut they plan to make an Album with LOVE & AGAIN

[kinix]

I wonder if people would still feel disappointed if she pulls a namie stun by singing the songs in English =)

[polka-dot-jewel]

^ I think that's when the Japanese fans would throw fits lol

[heymrdj]

Please... everyone was like: ''OH I'M CONSIDERING THIS A SINGLE, ******* YOU AVEX!'', so why are people so mad about this album? Did you changed your opinions, guys?

[!Lawi!]
