But Fantasy was classified as a album because it had 8 tracks, and on that site it said because there were more than four, so one can assume it would be the same standards.
No Fantasy was classified as an album because it had eight *ORIGINAL* tracks.
For example ~The Monster~ single had 8 tracks as well but was counted a single because it only had four *original* tracks, the other four tracks were Instrumentals therefore not original songs.

YES!!! im just happy for new songs.
and it's in 6 weeks.

At least they didnt call it an ALBUM just because its 12 tracks.
The structure feels like a single so if you want to, treat it as a single..

release date is in few weeks, and we still don't have any cover.
if avex SMART, they just announce this along with the cover =="

well, I don't want another cover by Leslie / Ryan, we've spoiled too much by them since.... FIVE, I guess....

Most things over 4-a sides are usually classified as minis.

8 tracks? of what exactly? If it's 8 original songs, yes, no one would call that a single. This has 12 tracks...but that doesn't mean anything, because there's only three original songs. As everyone has said.


And to D&B, no, it's not that important. It's just the reasoning behind why calling this album a mini is kind of stupid and suspicious.

There's really no reason to...although imo I think she's calling it that so that she can do more things with it, and hype it more.

I'm not arguing about fantasy... original or not.
that still doesnt explain the A single..
oricon wanted to put it in the album charts, but avex stood by that it was a single. In the end, it went to the singles.

LOVE is considered a mini, because thats how its being classified.

I think they just have too look at it from a case by case.

There is so much to look forward to this year regarding Ayu. Song 4 u is getting an orchestral arrangement? Incredible! I hope the next release will feature progress orchestral mix. I'd like to see another full album at the end of this campaign.

Look at us... so spoiled

I think Timmy should appear in the cover showing his ass with LOVE written on it to all his haters. That's all.

If she doesnt get #1 for this..would it mean...the record is smashed? Unless December 8th is considered to be part of the ORICON year?

Remixes, interludes, bonus tracks and instrumentals aren't real tracks to count in that "25 minutes or 4 tracks" thing. You can add how much remixes that you want and it still a single, since only the main content counts.
Kumi's FREAKY has 12 tracks (54 min total) and still a single, 3 SPLASH has 10 tracks (almost 29 min total) and also still a single... Right now what classifies a mini album or a maxi single is what the label / artist want, and not some rule.

The celebration this time is pretty cool, I didn't like the A COMPLETE thing that she did in her 10th Anniversary.

It continues to like the final week of December or something like that... they have a weird time frame..
But no.. her record will not be smashed... she would just not be able to extend it.

She keeps the record till someone else breaks it...

Were you horrified at the thought of "Timmy reimagines Ayu Classics"?

It would be like MY STORY Classical, except they'd be showtunes instead of orchestra peices.

^ Well, it's like Beach Mix: if Kumi wanted to release a single called Whatchu waitin' on and put all the remixes as bonus tracks, it would be a maxi summer single, and not a remix album.
The only thing that changes is the price and how much you want to promote, since singers usually don't promote a lot mini and remix album.
