[News] New Album TROUBLE on August 15th ~II~

[Katsuyuki012]

Sounds good from what we could hear! Can't wait!

[summerain]

It seems Ayu is really into punk rock lately. I hear some references in FLOWER and now in this new song.

She was always influenced by rock. Every album has at least one track that has heavy e.guitars featured. And i'm living for that sort of Ayu.

Me too ♥

summerain is specifically talking about punk rock, though.

I'm not going to listen to any previews, since I heard two of the five songs.

I have to say, though, I really like the title TROUBLE and I thought it'd be great if there was a song by the same title. ;o; Will she ever go back to having title songs? That used to be the norm. With some releases, like FIVE and sixxxxxx, I don't mind, but I'd really like songs titled Colours and TROUBLE. Well. ;_;

Yes, it is, but rock has a myriad of subgenres. I don't remember she using punk rock subgenre in her songs that much before (she flirted with hardcore, metal and symphonic metal).

Lyrics-wise? Like "Wth do you want from me, I will be myself, take what i give and be happy. Who do you think you are to tell me what to release and how, complaining to my boss huh? Go and complain to your mama. Lalalai"

Lol. Why stop there? We should get a 20th anniversary version of Thank U too. More lailailailalala than we can shake a fist at!

Also, loving the production quality from these two clips so far. It sounds like Ayu has actually tightened things up. Between this and covers, this is actually shaping up to be a quality release, even though it only has five songs.

[Teppei-chan]

Ayu should stop teasing up like this and give us a higher quality preview. But I guess she is doing everything right, because it builds up so much hype. For now I like what I'm hearing

[Lonely_Marionette]

It's not much but I am liking what I hear from the two short teasers she's posted so far. So hyped for this relase!

[Party_King]

Ahhh! This little teaser is all I needed for this release! <3

[EndOfTheWorld]

There isn't really enough song there for me to really judge it but it sounds like it could potentially be my favorite song from the album. I hope it isn't like WARNING, I loved that song but these i'm tired of it. The preview actually reminds me of the early or mid 2000s rock.

[truehappiness]

Her go to for these kinds of songs tends to be Kazuhiro Hara so I wonder if it's him + tasuku for this song if not tasuku + tasuku, lol.

[BlackSilence]

It's not far off anything else really just less polished. Ayu's stuff is usually polished more than what punk rock sounds like. I can only name a few really that would be raw enough to be punk. Not yet sure about the new one though.

[pepper]

The more guitars, the better. Well, I started to listen to her because of "strong" tracks like NEVER EVER, Daybreak. I remember hearing GAME for the first and I bursted into tears because I never loved a song that much. Last albums just had like 2 strong tracks while she should stick into that kind of genre. This track sound sickening.

[BlackSilence]

Yeah, i always end up absolutely in love with her heavier songs. She just nails them. Too bad they are offen less than few on the albums.

[Corvina]

Same with me.
Somebody in another forum said, she should go full pop-rock or rock instead of watering it down to make more impact and I agree so much. Made in Japan already partly showed, how it could work. Mad World and FLOWER are both fantastic.

[Chibi-Chan]

I always wanted a full rock album from her. Guess this will never happen.
