"Colours" out July 2nd + PREMIUM SHOWCASE ~Feel the love~ starting May 30th~ [III]

[holy_arrow]

OMG, I think the tracklist was already known so far. Ayu also announced the number of the songs and the PVs too. She LET US KNOW EVERTHING ALREADY : the whole songs, the title of the album,... . The only promising things are just the Official PV and covers.
I don't know why most of you complained about the hidden track or something like that... which SHE DID'T MENTION BEFORE
Give her a break and let's wait for the rest of album COLOURS...

^ I was under the impression that the revealed songs make up only the partial track list

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I find Pray Angel and Terminal being in order reeeeally interesting.

[KLJames]

for those who didn't notice,
CD+DVD: Pray > Angel > Terminal
others edition: Pray > Terminal > Angel

seriously, i dunno how to deal the change from Pray to Terminal. i can understand the flow for Party Queen tracklist but not this time. my desire tracklist:

01 Terminal
02 Lelio
03 Merry-go-round
04 Angel
05 Pray
06 NOW & 4EVA
07 What is forever love
08 Hello new me
09 XOXO
10 Feel the love

[Deep snow]

I put the songs in order on iTunes and I just finished listening to them. They make...an okay flow somehow. Although NOW & 4EVA is a bit strange as a closer (I think Hello new me fits better). I also find it weird that the dance songs are scattered, but that's probably to prevent an allegedly boring section of continuous ballads. If this is indeed the actual track list, then this album does have interesting colors. Sorry. colours.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Oh yeah I didn't even notice the differences between the editions... I wonder which is the real one?

[LONJJONG]

Can't wait for XOXO PV!

[LEOyumi]

Wow, I really like the order of the songs!
I'm also happy with the lack of interludes, since it's a good thing to change the format a little. With so many strong songs, this album doesn't really need it imo. Can't wait for the covers!

[Irish_Ayu_Fan]

To be honest, I'm glad there's no interludes! Tracklist is quite short by her standards, but its jammed full of absolutely amazing songs. Personally can't wait for Lelio and XoXo PVs

[pepper]

i dont care about the tracklist order... (NOW&4EVA as the only track I really like lol as the last is cool though)

i don't care about the release schedule...
i don't care about the album lenght...
i don't even care about the album cover art (missunderstood was the best album with the worst covers...)
the most important thing is music duh

i only care that i don't like those songs. (only NOW&4EVA and What is forever love)


XDDDDDDDDD

but she have very diffrent ideas at very diffrent times, so I just hope she will make album such Party Queen again, it was only 2 albums ago. or maybe another album at the end of the year?

its something like that:
Terminal - Angel - Merry-go-round (slow techno)
Feel the love - XOXO - Leilo (fast pop techno)
Hello new me - Pray (sappy ballads)

and only What is forever love and NOW&4EVA stands out.

Really guys (to specific people, not everyone)?

It was never implied that it was only a partial tracklist. It was specifically said that there would be 10 songs. I could see surprise about no interludes. But no new tracks? The fuck are you even talking about?

The six new songs are the new tracks. We very recently got them because they are new. They were just released ahead of time but not like months before.

If you look at the showcase, it is a showcase because it features songs from an unreleased album. Which is different because usually people will be familiar with what she is touring because the album is released beforehand. But I think they allowed the songs to be released so that people could still build some familiarity with the songs that they were paying to see live if they wanted to. Otherwise, it's just a fun surprise showcase of new material before it's officially released.

But apparently, not everyone gets that. These 6 new songs are new. Just leaked early.

I'm sorry, but how did the tracklist REALLY surprise anyone? It's your fault if you couldn't read information properly. And it doesn't make ayu lazy.

Dislike the album, order, and the lack of interludes all you want, but at least be reasonable.

I'll get off my soapbox now

[Zeke.]

Well I was expecting a few interludes; that's why I was planning to wait to indulge in the new songs until I could have the full on "album experience". This is such a disconnected Ayu release. I was hoping for ONE bonus track but oh well.

For me, Ayu has done better electronically influenced songs in the past. None of these songs are of her best, and Wake me up still has more character and appeal than any of this new material.

Ayu can do electronic music, but she HAS TO DO IT HER WAY. Wake me up was evident that she has the power to excel in that environment while maintaining her signature aura and environment through music.

omg this this this. It was said from the beginning that the tracklist would only consist of ten songs--I don't know if people just willfully misunderstood the form that this album would take, or what. The amount of whining some people are capable of is truly incredible.

[KPL]

Listening to the tracks in their official order is a really nice surprise! A couple of especially gorgeous moments:

What is forever love to Hello new me: while the first lingers over the unforgettable past love, the latter moves on.

Angel to Terminal: as someone pointed out in previous posts, the lyrical transition is quite nice. Musically, the flow is intense as well, plus that both numbers depict the haunting atmosphere in their own distinct way.

Now and 4eva as an ending is actually nice. After the explosion of Lelio, to hear the peaceful piano intro does deliver an emotional casecade.

People need to wipe out the prejudice and give ayu a listen before complaining the mismatch between ayu's choice and that of their own

1+ count me in. I don't speak english so fluent to say it that way. ;d
"that" electronic music is not a bad music - she just can make electronic music in her own style and it's more powerful (Sparkle, Wake me up, NaNaNa, NEXT LEVEL album and so on) I liked "Connected" because it was ONE track on the album in that style. But tbh It was a time that I though Connected was a remix of something.

[cosmicfirefly]

I'm fine with only 10 tracks, but I like all the songs. I don't mind the lack of interludes. If the interludes are taken off of some of her previous albums, there would also be only 10 songs.

[Akutenshi]

I've gotten used to the fact that certain factions of her fans will just complain about anything she ever does. But the fact that we literally had all the information about the tracklist besides the order, and people STILL created their own false impressions of "more tracks" or "intros/interludes" and then blame HER for their own ignorance? That's hitting an all-time low of stupid.

[Zeke.]

I also can't seem to get over how good some of these songs would sound with ROCK arrangements. If she can do an entire album dedicated to electronic, she needs a new album dedicated to hard rock. I truly believe that's where she can succeed and suits her current voice the best!

Completely agree. It has a MY ALL vibe
By the way is just me or they're not referring to this album as her "15th Album"? I've only saw "Original Album"... It reminds me of "Feel the love" not being referred as her 51st Single

there are always people who likes everything about new release
there are always people who likes song but dislike titles/album titles/covers etc and people who likes titles/cover but dislike the songs
there are always people who don't like anything
there are always people who dislikes some and like some.

always.

and you know, there are always people who complain about people complaining
