Maybe she will surprise us tonight instead? Also, has Ayu explicitly said in an interview that this album will be based upon seasons, or is it all just speculation? It would be a really cool concept if she did, and a break from her recent formula.

It was said in an article that Ayu retweeted. I'm quoting myself from the album thread, this is roughly what they said:

Seems like they're saying that the lyrics are similar to her signature writing style, it's honest and self-critical? The songs remind of the four seasons: fierce, strong, pure, sweet, something about solitude and darkness... It combines different sides of Ayumi Hamasaki. They also said something about her coming back to Japan after being away in LA,, and the music after that has been some sort of a warming-up for her?

Apparently this album is a return to form, "awakening" of Ayumi Hamasaki, a new NEXT LEVEL and was challenging for her. "That's the Ayu we've been waiting for"

The tour will include the new songs.

Thanks rainbow_smile! I'm glad that such a positive review already exists.

Also, 'surviver' hmmm. I'm hoping that is a typo hahaha.

Are these photos also speculated to be the album shoot, or are they just off-shots from the Numero Tokyo shoot?

She's also been doing TA entries about the seasons and how they're split up.

I wonder if she's hinting at the flow of the concert and album.

I have a feeling it will be too. Surely this means we will be getting the album soon, if she is revealing everything. I won't be impressed if we have the album titles + album shots months before it is released, unless she is going to market it like a boss.

My collaborator translated from Japanese to Portuguese, though as I do not have the competence to trazudir from Portuguese to English, so I'll leave the link so you can use the translator of the text in the blog, may have a clearer idea content.
