[RUMOR] 1 LOVE / JEWEL release date has been announced!

[truehappiness]

I have a feeling that B&D/Pride were released in order to test the market..

I bet (m)u might've sold like 900k at least if it wasn't released..


edit: Thanks SunshineSlayer
Perhaps I'm thinking some other show that's late-night x.x Music Fighter maybe..
And about the album: since she's recorded songs and things in L.A.. I think an album is going to be done soon..

Yeah, Music Fighter airs super late as does CDTV. Why are we talking about the 10th though? Music Station doesn't air until the 13th right?

[truehappiness]

I think x2 might've thought that the footage was already released or something? :|

[~X2RADialbomber~]

Gah. Sorry, I read the date wrong... My mistake entirely. Sorry.

[pbs1605]

Excitng news thanks guys.

[Deep snow]

wowo, November 30th? that's the exact day Bold&Delicious/Pride was released last year, i hope the low sales don't repeat this year...

and i hope she's not releasing an album anywhere near that day, like January 1st or December 27th? *coughcough(miss)understoodcoughcough*

^ yes because we need a new PV director, this new guy has been directing Ayu's PV's from B&D onwards

[immel]

The PVs of Ma was great I think, all of them, stunning. At least half of the PVs of MS was really good, and my absolute favourite is from there, About You, it stuns me with its visual beauty. As for (miss)understood I find most PVs thought through and neatly done, B&D isn't that great, but it's fun and Ayu is gorgeous in it. Ladies Night is just awesome, and so is alterna. I like is this LOVE? a lot too, it's quite moving how it ends.

uh.. yeah, I like her recent PVs, she got a few REALLY freakin' great ones in her past, but in general I think the quality now is better, if you look away from the 2006 PVs.

[immel]

They'll be more memorable when they've been around for as many years as her earlier songs have, I promise you .

[PrincessAyu]

well even some of her older songs aren't memorable to me xD

[Mad_Cactuar]

So Takahide Ishii makes the interesting videos.. I don't like the My Story videos except Game. The others were all either o_O or -__-

[bluegie]

I dun like most MY STORY's pvs as well.. the only one looks great to me is INSPIRE.. CAROLS should be good except it's quite boring.. I dun like Moments pv cuz I dun like the sleeping ayu look.. GAME is only ok, not really interesting. All the album pvs are quite badly made.

[Mad_Cactuar]

^ Yeah, a step below from Memorial Address. (miss)understood's videos is a lot better than My Story too. The (miss)understood PVs look so expensive.

[Ayumiko]

didn't ayu just used a few days to shoot a few of my story pvs? (walking proud, about you, humming 7/4)??

i remember she spent 3 days for those album pvs.. but it's not about the days she took (of course time is a factor). The ideas of those 3 pvs are quite lame, and the way they shot the videos are quite "boring". If everything is pre-organized and planned carefully, they could have made better pvs.

I still think Memorial address has the best pvs . I am... comes to second

[alt.total-loser]

I think the (miss)understood pvs are the prettiest to look at. I can't think of any MY STORY pvs that I like, except for maybe walking proud. =/ Memorial address had the best ones, though, I swear they were like mini movies.

[truehappiness]

MY STORY was probably due to lack of.. 'inspiration' for the PVs. Like.. Ayu didn't really have too many ideas :<

Memorial address was so outstanding because of the sheer amount of directors used. Like 5 total for that album! o_O~ And the album was like 8 songs. LOL~
ANGEL'S SONG / Greatful days - Hideaki Sunaga
ourselves / Because of You - Kouki Tange
HANABI -episode II- - Shuichi Tan
No way to say - Ukon Kamimura
forgiveness - Yoshiya Okoyama + D.B.D.

I think & had a lot to do with how Ayu got such good PVs for that era.. it was like.. they chose 3 directors all with different styles to do the & PVs, and they all came out wonderful.. and even kept some of the directors i.e Kouki / Hideaki..

About 2006 compositions:
Kazuhiro Hara did Startin' and Born to Be... [he did STEP you and criminal.]
DAI did BLUE BIRD [...you should know. He did like SEASONS and stuff.]
Kazuhito Kikuchi did Beautiful Fighters [aka the guy who did HEAVEN and like, About You.]
