I think sometimes they just don't participate 'cause they have other engagements.

^I remember he just said he was told he wasn't what they needed at the moment or something in those lines.

I recall a dancer or two not being part of it at the time and putting it on their blogs. I do not remember it being because of not being 'accepted' but let me see if I can find the thread.

I just have this where some were discussed. The only thing I remember is that he said he wasn't going to be in PoM, same for Kayano, I think.

Oh! I saw that Subaru was absent for original PoM but came back for LIMITED EDITION.

Andrenekoi · #**245** 4th July 2018, 11:23 PM

^Yeah, the original one, haha! He wasn't around for the actual tour

truehappiness · #**246** 4th July 2018, 11:27 PM

At that time, I think the dancers were dealing with some stuff so they may have skipped on the early tour. Chisa, Kayano, 2-Yan also missed them looking at the old info.

Evan Odinson · #**250** 5th July 2018, 07:26 AM

She looks beautiful!

njanjayrp · #**251** 5th July 2018, 08:16 AM

The new TA post suggests that the album is nearly finished and that she wants everyone to hear it asap!

^ Thank GAWD

So that was about a month of work on the album before it was done as far as we saw on IG. I wonder when she'll start filming things if she is doing videos at all.

But she first mentioned it back in April, a few days after the first two shows.

I think that was more of a 'tease' that plans were beginning. It seemed like she actually entered the studio just last month after finalizing stuff at avex.

Sure, but I assumed they had the songs composed/lyrics written even before.

truehappiness · #**257** 5th July 2018, 08:34 AM

As far as that goes, it has seemed like she writes and selects songs during these studio sessions. I remember she was still writing songs in London while working on other things for the album but a few songs were produced ahead of time due to videos being made at the same time as well.

**Yoake** · #**258** 5th July 2018, 09:22 AM

Writing lyrics is Ayu's way to talk and to share her feelings since the start of her career. It’s deeply linked to her life. Knowing that I doubt she starts everything only after the “we’ll make a new album” meeting. She writes when inspiration catches her. With her experience she surely know the kind of sound and music style that will match her lyrics. Then she adapts slightly the lyrics with the demos she selected. During the process, she might add some songs and writes new lyrics just as a novelist adds new ideas and chapters when he/she is working because life doesn’t stop when you’re working and what you see can inspire you. Just as the jazzy/Broadway songs Ayu asked Timmy to compose after attending a musical in London.
In Ayu’s case, the music assists her lyrics. It helps to share her emotions. The main act is the lyrics. It’s why she can use very different music styles but there is the little thing who make you think it’s an Ayu’s song. Because her writing style doesn’t change a lot. It shapes her songs.
Nowadays, as she stopped to release singles she certainly request to create an album when she already know the concept and have already selected the main lyrics she already wrote and that fit the concept.
There isn’t only a path to create song. Music doesn’t always arrive before lyrics.

EndOfTheWorld · #**259** 5th July 2018, 09:27 AM

I also thought that Ayu has been writing songs over the last 2 years. Then she would bring them to the studio when she was ready to start recording.

truehappiness · #**260** 5th July 2018, 09:53 AM

I think she may have had concepts in mind, like notes on her phone but the writing process for her IIRC was described as a 'puzzle' at one point for some tracks.

There have been a few times where she had notes for lyrics or actual lyrics on her phone and then she went and dropped it in the toilet or something on accident, lol.
