New album 2012 ~Thread IV~ - Page 10

If it's really just tour dates, I'm pretty disappointed

truehappiness · #**182** 23rd January 2012, 07:34 AM

I think she might say where she was in the Middle East since the TA message also had a photo of some area there?

freedreamer · #**183** 23rd January 2012, 09:23 AM

damn it..no album news >.<
hmm

but then again..
with the tour dates, we could predict the album release easier

Mai82Go · #**184** 23rd January 2012, 09:48 AM

I don't really believe Ayu will release an album soon. The whole tour is still called Hotel Love Songs and lasts until the middle of August. So wouldn't it be bad for the tour if she released another album in the middle of touring, with a completely different theme? The last date is actually in Fukuoka - maybe she will have dates in Yoyogi in October again? As far as I can see there are no Tokyo dates yet, just Saitama and Yokohama.

^ What if the new album is called ''HOTEL''?

I don't think that the tour would bother the album release, she even started RnRCTour a week before the album came out

Mai82Go · #**186** 23rd January 2012, 12:47 PM

Touring is always Promotion. It just makes no sense to tour and promote Love Songs with a new album out. Except, you're right - the new album would be called Hotel and promotes Love Songs and Hotel. <-but the tour title is a year old. Did she foresee this?

Bad Wolf · #**187** 23rd January 2012, 12:59 PM

^ She didn't tour to promote GUILTY. Or rather, her tour didn't promote it. I don't think it's wise to think that this upcoming tour is to promote a year-old album. It's really obvious she's going with this name because she had to last minute change the 2011 tour.

I think Misa-chan (was it her?) had a point when she said that people had been waiting SINCE MONDAY for Ayu to say something. That doesn't mean that she's going to say something THIS Monday, just that people have been waiting what has been a week for Ayu to talk.

Mai82Go · #**188** 23rd January 2012, 01:11 PM

I think of Asia Tour 2008 - 10th Anniversary as the GUILTY tour.

I think this is the announcement she was talking about. The tour dates. I think she will release how beautiful you are as a digital single and maybe another one or two singles during the tour. I would find it weird to release an album now. I just don't think it works with the tour. If she releases an album in the near future will the corresponding tour happen next year? That seems unlikely to me.

But RnRC Tour was actually called RnRC Tour. We got the announcement for the tour name even before the announcement of the album name back then. If she had another tour in mind with a new theme, the tour would have another title by now.

No I still stand by this. This tour will be the tour she planned last year for Love Songs - and there will be no new album until the tour is over.

(All just my opinion)

Minttulatte · #**189** 23rd January 2012, 01:18 PM

I don't believe she's gonna release an album yet if the theme for AT12 is HOTEL Love songs. Maybe she will release a new album in 2013. I'd like that. She could tour in peace and then release a new album and go on a tour with that.

YUKARI · #**190** 23rd January 2012, 01:34 PM

may be she'll release new album in summer.. I always wanted her to release an album on July!!

Gustavopc · #**191** 23rd January 2012, 01:34 PM

Well, I also think it'd be a bit weird to release a new album while in a tour named after another album, but it'd be even more strange for ayu to wait until August to release it. Even though she can release one or two singles physically until there. idk, everything about this album sounds so strange/unlikely, that's why I want official news asap... Can you imagine, this thread in July like "New album 2012 ~Thread LXII~"?

MissElin_ · #**192** 23rd January 2012, 01:59 PM

^Haha ikr. Maybe we should name the next thread to "New Album 2012 ~the never ending story~"

But I also find it unlogical if she releases a new album in the close future. After looking at the tour dates, I started to think that she will tour those dates with HLS. And then release the new album in the summer instead of this spring. And like some aready said, release a couple of singles during the spring. And maybe she will make a new tour/remake HLS to fit the new album and start touring that one already in October?

Anything can happen, but I would actually be more happy with her releaseing the new album after HLS tour. So the two albums don't get a weird tour combination of some sort.

YUKARI · #**193** 23rd January 2012, 02:19 PM

she'd better release "how beautiful you are" as a normal single... I'm sure it'd do well

TeamAyu2004 · #**194** 23rd January 2012, 02:30 PM

OMG TOUR DATES OMG TOUR DATES!!!..
I have to go buy my tickets!!!

Yeah, it's odd with a new album supposedly coming out that she'd still call the tour Hotel Love Songs...that is strange. I hope that she does release a new album though, because it has been awhile!!! I'm not counting FIVE.

TeamAyu2004 · #**196** 24th January 2012, 02:06 AM

Maybe just call the Album: Love?
that would be kinda a great theme too given the divorce and I have to bet that this is going to be a powerful album meaning-wise and lyrical.

Edit:
And it would still fit with hotel Love songs.

owlflight · #**197** 24th January 2012, 02:09 AM

I alternate between patience and wanting news right now when it comes to this album in progress.

Pieces_of_SEVEN · #**198** 24th January 2012, 02:40 AM

I don't want to wait this long, but she has never released a summer album before, so that would be interesting.

But I want THIS:

How beautiful you are (possibly c/w Party Queen or another upbeat song) digital single released sometime in February

New album released March 21 or 28.

New summer single released sometime in July (haven't gotten one since Sunrise in 2009! And I wish she'd release her summer singles a little earlier in the summer rather than so late like mid to late August when summer is almost over! lol)

Jennifer Lopez named her most recent album that, as well as followed it by getting a divorce, I think it would feel tOO much like a rip off

Tom Punks · #**200** 24th January 2012, 03:22 AM

I would punch someone or something if Ayu named an album "Love" after having "Love songs" RIGHT before it and another album named "LOVEppears."
