New Album [Love songs] ~Second Session~

[primavera♥]

idk. i dont really get more excited until more info besides the announcement is made.

like i cant be excited for 2 whole months lol

i have to have something to sincerely be excited about.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I'm pretty chill about it myself... I mean, I can't wait to get it, and I'm sure I won't be disappointed, but maybe for me it's because RnRC still feels new and I still listen to those songs every day and I was kind of expecting for a new album sometimes next year, like the gap between BLUE BIRD and Secret.

[jbrat2219]

Maybe it's all for the best to be honest. I'd rather hear nothing than see people ***** as always. Hopefully, people will like this album this time around unexpectedly.

Also, I kind of like this chill atmosphere then the hectic, mind-numbing anticipation of RnRC. I never want to lose my mind like that again!

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Maybe everyone is tired by now after this crazy Ayu year too!

[ohsixthirty]

i guess i feel the same way about singles 48-49-50. i thought they were pretty underwhelming, except for the 50th. the other two were some of my least favorite singles and those songs still haven't really grown on me much.

as for the title, its funny in a way, i really don't care about it. i didn't like the title of RnRC at all so i felt very passionate about that, but this title really inspires nothing in me thus far.

[jbrat2219]

I actually thoroughly enjoyed the single project! And I'm excited for the new album! MOON finally grew on me :O blossom is still <3. Crossroad makes me cry, no joke xD; Virgin Road is my addiction, Last Angel is my anthem... The only song I wasn't crazy over was sweet season even though I do like it. SDW is awesome too!

[ストロボ・EdGE]

crossroad makes me cry too! I loved the music for this project... so I'm sure I'll love the album tracks too cause, unlike RnRC, the album feels like it'll follow the path of the singles.

[Ranma Matsuri]

LOL I kinda thought my superexcitement would began again when the album was announced but asides from being pissed about not being able order the LE, I'm pretty chill about this as well. Again, probably due to the fact that the singles project just ended and I was pretty underwhelmed by the 50th. After RnRC, I'm kind of going into this album with a bit more wariness. I'm more positive since this time around I actually liked the singles (except for L) unlike RnRC when I liked none of them lol but who knows? I probably won't even think about ordering it until after it leaks plus I've already got enough big December purchases anyway so I'll probably have to end up waiting until January anyway.

I wouldn't get my hopes up, its probably just gonna be a sticker and a pencil or something equally crappy.

If only they gave PS3s as the special album present...

yeah, i wouldn't get my hopes up either. whatever the "present" is, i'm sure it won't be anything that exciting.

Is better to have a small "present"...don't forget that WE have to pay for the shipping of the ""present"" too

ROFL

[Picaflor 7/4]

I'm not amazed sdw isn't going to be on the album. I'm glad too, not a bad song, but it definitely leaves room for more on the album. we are getting 15 tracks and it's so far been confirmed that we will have moon - last angel on there. that leaves room for 9 more songs! I just pray that we don't get more than 3 interludes. I think it's pretty much a given though that there will be at least an intro, that seems to be the standard with her.

I think I just wish this were released later...I'm still finally grasping how much I love RnRC. And same for the singles. Which I adore
Its just so much.I like the time to appreciate understand all she releases...but oh well
I also worry for the sales of this album. I just can't imagine it selling as much as RnRC with all the releases this year and everything

But nevertheless I will try to enjoy the music from this new album too. Ill be quite happy to get all these new songs. Its just too early of a stage right now.
But soon I'm sure things will liven up

[love in music]

the whole singles project amazed me so much that I feel like anything she releases after these singles is going to disappoint me in comparison to the singles because they're all just so amazing.. I hope that's not the case and she keeps surprising and impressing me.

[Kagome-chan]

It is revealed that Hamasaki Ayumi will produce the solo single "Dream ON" of Urata Naoya, the leader of the 7-piece group AAA. It's the first time for her to produce the work of other artist.
