I'm considering to go to Shibuya tomorrow to check if there are any advertisements around the station (probably not ) or at least to see if they put something in TSUTAYA.

I am wondering about this too, I often see albums and singles release a day early and ranked in the oricon chart on Tuesday, so will we be seeing that in oricon tomorrow?

Gurl is teasing us again...

New MV ? CM ?
(Or maybe they filmed that part just for the tease ? xD)

[dumbellz]

Wow I dk what to say... that bloody red lips like what ... I am scared but I hope it’s for new music

[pedronekoi]

hidden track??? surprise bonus??? new EP??? I'm excited!!

[Deep snow]

I'm almost 100% convinced this is for new music, perhaps delusionally so, because I really don't want another anniversary being commemorated with another announcement of four more years of concerts.

[Evan Odinson]

I only saw someone psoting those typical record stores posters (You know, the covers and the "In stores (date)" format, the only promo I saw online lol

I'm so excited for this, whatever it is, the black hat and red lips look so good!

That’s why i’m not sure if to go tomorrow or on Thursday and since im not really close to there (closer to north Tokyo/Ikebukuro) so that’s why I wondered if I should go tomorrow or the 8th.

I wish that I would just go there and ayu will be all over the place but I guess that we are not in the 1998-2010 anymore
Anyway I hope for something when I go.

Btw I really hope that the instagram thing is a new song for a new album!! From the shot it looks cool!!

Not sure actually, that’s why I asked too xD

[KPL]

Who would release a new song/album at the same time with a compilation XD. Hope she surprises us and defies convention.

Hmmm what is the time when oricon will be updated? I miss checking that chart back in 2005-2010, hahaha but I can’t remember the specific timing when the chart is updated

[Deep snow]

mother of all plot twists: turns out it's for æternal quatre-vingt-dix-sept

Koda Kumi best third universe
Michael Jackson HIStory


Although I don't expect a new album

[Aderianu]

I don't think it had something to do with A Ballads release. She may refer to debut anniversary

[thomas]

I’m kinda surprised she hasn’t announced a 20 year anniversary remaster of A Song for XX or a re-recorded version of Poker Face. Here’s hoping she’ll release something next to A Ballads 2.

[bennyshero]

I really think more promotion is needed. The album is charting quite badly on Amazon. (The highest ranking it got is #30 in Japanese music, as far as I'm concerned) It's great that two deluxe versions were sold out on mumo, but the compilation should not only target her hardcore fans...
