New album out by Christmas!

[truehappiness]

Eh? Did people really think teens was gonna be on Secret? I think SEVEN DAYS WAR will probably stay on crossroad. Why would she put a cover on an original album anyway? If she did use the song, she'd probably rewrite the lyrics.

Makes sense to me! Haha. Then again, I think I heard about it years ago so the pizza/fried chicken/Christmas cake thing = Xmas in Japan for me.

People who want it to be a mini have probably been "predicting" that she'll do a mini, though if she did do one, she'd probably have to stop working on new songs since I think she's already worked on more than two or three?

Also, I don't think this album will be 14 tracks long. She already has 2 more songs than usual from singles, and if she has as many album tracks as Rock'n'Roll Circus, we should expect maybe 16-17 tracks total? There'll obviously be a few interludes, but I don't think many people complain about them.

Secret, actually, was her last "close to Christmas" album release. Unless you count GUILTY, which I don't, since that was AFTER Christmas.

I wish you wouldn't bring this up, lol. Only because MY STORY was the first Ayu album I grew through with her - as in I discovered right around Moments. And it was an amazing album for me at the time and still is. So every time Ayu releases an album, I have this inner voice saying "MAYBE IT WILL BE EVEN BETTER OR AS GOOD AS MY STORY" - and every time I start out with that anticipation/excitement I just am let down in the end only for building it up so much. But I can connect with you on that one

So I take you you like Life?

Pizza/fried chicken sounds like delicious food while watching movies/sports. The combo (p/f/cake) is a weirdo at x'mas for me. I want roasted beef/chicken, salad, pasta, soup, any gourmet dish (you can think of) on the dining table for my x'mas dinner .

I can't recall if people were hoping that teen would be on Secret, but I didn't expect that. So far she hasn't put B-sides or stuff she didn't write on her albums with the exception of RED and 卒業写真. The former one was written by her so I can see putting it on her studio album. The latter one was on A BALLADS, and it's just a compilation/remix album.

Of course I dun rule out the possibility of SDW on the upcoming album. But I dun really like that song, so it's ok if it's not included in the end .

[petitepiper]

oh my <333

[bluegie]

^I dun get the gif... is there anything to do with the x'mas album? Do I miss something?

[Deibel]

^ I think that the only important thing of the gif is the emotion and excitement that they show xD

Like.. "a new album??!!!! it's time partyyyyyy!!!" xDDD

[ownsarai]

I highly doubt it will be a mini-album guys. She's been writing lyrics for other songs besides the single songs for months now.

[hearted]

why do some of you want it to be a mini? DONT YOU GUYS WANT MORE SONGS????? idgi

[Lanz16]

Im wondering why all of you guys want a mini-album?

17 track album is wow!
I mean, lots of new songs + the interludes is must hear.

Im still speculating that she'll releasing a new remix album this year.

I'm inviting my japanese boy-o to Sweden over this christmas. He's like superexcited cuz he have always been to KFC since he was little... He can't imagine what we are up to during those days. That's pretty much what christmas is for them. KFC, awesome christmas lights, disneyland and dating.
While for me it's one meter high snow, christmas markets, tasteful classical swedish christmas trees, "julbord"(christmas table), presents, rimes and Karl-Bertil on the 24th and pretty much haning out with your family for the whole week.

Eww. KFC? They have like the shittiest chicken around. Couldn't he at least go to Popeye's?

Yeah! I forgot about that. People exchange presents and go on dates with love ones, right?

Call me stupid, but don't Jews usually go to a chinese food restaurants on X-mas?


I doubt it'll be a mini-album, she already has too many tracks.

1. MOON
2. blossom
3. Crossroad
4. SEVEN DAYS WAR
5. Virgin Road
6. Sweet Season
7. Last Angel

LOL i've never heard that before, and i'm jewish!

[Kazeyomi]

mini album = do not want
full album = HELL YEAH

people complain about too much interludes and few new tracks since GUILTY. Most of AHS (and me) users goes nuts, if it will be a mini-album.

[kagami]

I don't really care how many new tracks we get (of course the more the better) since we've had SO MANY songs already this year.

I'm sure we'll have atleast five.

So excited OMG! They should start announcing info soon, right? If it's coming out around Christmas.

[AyumiAi]

This is a bit late but.... OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IM SO HAPPY!!!!! SO SO SO SO SO SOS OS OS OS OS HAPPPY!
I cant wait!!
This will be a perfect perfect perfect christmas gift
Thank you Ayu! <3

[bluegie]

Oh well mini or not, it's a new album from ayu!
i wonder when they will announce the release date, so that I can preorder it at cdjapan immediately .

[jkm444]

As long as this album has the same or more tracks as Rock n Roll ~Circus~ then I am fine.
Leslie Kee please do the album pic for this album please!! Miss seeing his work for ayu!

[hud]

Why is everyone treating SEVEN DAYS WAR like an a-side? I really hope she doesn't include it on the album.
