Remember the song warning for you "fans", I'm tired with thid so called fan forum, and don't bring the thing about different preferences, because there are to many criticizing about the duet with sxpecial and you didn't ever listen it.

It happens with all her duet's Just don't pay much attention to there posts. They are not really adding to the conversation than just being a bitter person Its like criticizing a painting before its even been painted.

I couldn't agree more!

Honestly I couldn't care less about the title. It looks different and I like edgy/different Ayu. People just are afraid of change.

Besides I like how SiXXXX(how may X's are there?)XXX's been written.

If there is no hidden track, I'm going to be convinced that she's trolling us or just bored. lol

[Delicious n Bold]

Im kinda getting that feeling where we dont know much about the release but you know youre on the cusp of recieving new information and are excited.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I want her to WOW me again with the covers. Not something peach, or where she's just had her glam squad work on her. Something surprising, like Duty, H, NEXT LEVEL, FIVE, etc. I like the Terminal and A ONE covers, they're gorgeous, but not too far out of the box.

Hoping for something summer-y at least.

The title is a little weird for Ayu. I expect this sort of thing from Ai Otsuka or Anna Tsuchiya but for Ayu... not so sure.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

So six is weird for ayu, but not five...?

FIVE had a meaning that could be explained quite well. Plus, the font design was pretty neat.
The "weird" thing is the iteration of "X" that we don't know the meaning yet.
And I understand truhappiness who says that "sixxxxxx" is more likely a title for AI Otsuka, Anna Tsuchiya or whatever Jpop female singer. But it doesn't suit Ayu so far. We learn to be used to her new titles, it became a routine.
I bet there's a meaning behind it, or at least, I hope so. Unfortunately, I've learnt to have low expectations about Ayu's releases to be not disappointed.

It's the stylistic choice on how the title is presented.

FIVE, in all capitals, is SO Ayu.

Sixxxxxx is very in line with stylistic choices that Anna and Ai have both made in the past.

[Delicious n Bold]

It's been kind of a weird shock but I still have faith in ayu with this title. I mean A ONE was kind of a stretch but with a title like sixxxxxx it's more... Concrete I guess.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Whatever it doesn't even matter I'm sure I will love it anyway. lol

[adantatu2]

It doesn't have the word "Love", we should be happy.

[jbrat2219]

With a title like "sixxx...etc." I hope the covers are a little edgy.

[truehappiness]

The title imo suggests an edgy photoshoot. Ayu, don't go for only pretty this time!

The new description for the mini seems like they abandoned the uptempo thing and want to go for a 'summery' feel for everything and have variety across the five tracks. Wonder if they ditched the RedOne track for now.

From this:
2015年2作目となるアルバム! 仲間由紀恵主演のNHKドラマ10『美女と男子』主題歌として話題の「Step by step」や、宇多田ヒカルのカヴァー「Movin' on without you」を手掛けたプロデューサー、RedOneによるダンス・チューンなど、アップリフティングなアゲ曲 中心に全5曲収録予定。 Blu-rayには、「Step by step」(video clip)、「Step by step」(making clip)他、全3曲6本の映像を収録予定。

Ayumi Hamasaki brings an album including "Step by step (the main theme song of TV series "Bijo to Danshi")," a dance tune produced by RedOne, and more for five uplifting songs total (subject to change). Comes with a bonus Blu-ray featuring three music videos including "Step by step," making-of, and more for six footage total (subject to change).

To this...

2015年4月8日にデビュー17周年を迎え、通算16枚目のオリジナル・フル・アルバムをリリースしたば かりの浜崎あゆみが、早くも2015年第2弾アルバムを投下!仲間由紀恵主演のNHKドラマ10『美女と男 子』主題歌「Step by step」や、夏らしい爽やかさと切なさを携えたPOPチューン等、バラエティに富んだ楽曲を収録するミニ ・アルバム。 (C)RS

This makes sense for me, since there are no summery/poppy tracks on A ONE, so I feel like the mini album will fill that gap.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I'm very excited about this title. Sixxxxxx....It's just so unique.

[microphone]

Well, I've come to expect awful titles from her. The content is going to be great so I don't mind :-D

[//ABEST]

[TeddyGrahams]

Well technically it's her 6th "mini album" if you count nothing from nothing.
So nfn, ma, five, love, again, and now sixxxxxxx.
