Hopes for the new album...

[jerms]

i hope it will be just like my post in the other thread. hahaha! (including the MA songs)

[ImpactBreaker]

I don't want it to sound like RAINBOW...nor i am... nor Duty, nor WHATEVER. I want it to sound like "My Story" a brand new ayu album.

[Nu-NRG]

hmm i don't mind about the English being put in the songs...it adds "extra" feelings to it
i rather she sing engrish then those......lalalalalalalala or wowing...to me those lalalalas is like ayu runs out of words for her song
ok maybe is just something she likes to do but it just irritating after few listens
and i do hope that the album well keep up the qualities...RAINBOW was a turn off for me then there is Memorial address which i think she pulls it off well all those songs songs are not bad
all i'm hoping for now is something fresh...unlike what she did before..........judging from what we got now is pretty good

well...the dreams for of getting both single/album(LOVEppears/appears) is gone now
now just hoping the songs are good...


edit: i want her cover......to be like Because of You...A ROCKER CHIK AYU sexy..cool...cruel?..

[Echiko]

I love her current style in her songs and only wish for all the songs to be just as good as Moment and GAME so far. ^__^ I also pray that her cover will be..a sort of... beautiful taste like the cover of CAROLS. Not a kitty cat like Duty. ^^; not that the kitty wasn't creative. I just thought it was weird at the same time. XD

i have faith in this album ^__^

I'm with Impact on this, I want it to be it's own album. It just bugs me that the album is titled 'MY STORY' but the songs so far aren't composed by her at all. If anything I'd want it to be like 'Duty' or 'Memorial address' where there were NO FILLERS just a bunch of single worthy tracks. I personally thought all her tracks this year were amazing BUT I'M EXTREMELY ANGRY AT AVEX!! With the whole 4 covers and the DVD containing ALL THE PAST SINGLE PVS!! Argh what a waste of money... on buying those PV DVDs. Oh well at least it's a full album with hopefully either very little or a few REALLY GOOD interludes.

[gakkun]

I hope the composers from ASFXX and LOVEppears days composed the new songs...About You gave me some hope. =D

[HanabiChick]

It seems a good album so far, some good tracks and some standard tracks. It's hard to tell at this stage what the new tracks we haven't heard yet will be like...

[Ryu_1586]

Well all the songs that we've heard are great to me so far. I have very high expectations on this album, and am eagerly awaiting its release. I feel as if it has the same magnitude as the Duty/I am... era, and also tied in with M.A, as well. I like rockish type songs, so this album is looking promising to me. But thats just my opinion. Either way, I'm ok with the album. I'm hoping that she does make some kind of trancy upbeat type of song (Like something from Loveppears, or Rainbow). But time will tell what it'll be like. We just have to wait.

[Corybobory]

I would like something solid... like it sounds good from beginning to end. Then I can sing to it in my car, which is my favourite thing to do with Ayu songs.

[yulen]

i would like something a little new. lately it seems a lot of ayu's songs sound kind of....the same. so hopefully this album will contain some varying styles ( which i suppose has already been proven a little with these singles ).

Do you mean he wrote the lyrics or the music? If he wrote the music, I'm not surprised. That's so cool!

[jerms]

i think ayumi writes all her lyrics, so he probably wrote the music. haha how come your not suprised?

the music

[extepan]

yep, no english! and more ballads!!!!!

[tsuki]

I just want a new album with some new material... maybe something of ferry corsten, like "connected". that would be nice.
and some good interludes... with vocals! like "everlasting dream".

[hanabinokisetsu]

Um... Perhaps more of "Carols" or "No Way to Say" style...
I like... or love the lyrics of both songs...

And maybe something like... Um... Everywhere nowhere...? or Real me...
(Btw, 'my name's WOMEN' let me think of 'Real Me')

:: nod nod:: same here ^.^ because if it sounded like another album, I can already imagine people being like "this sounds like a bad 'Duty' clone" etc. I don't want an entire album that sounds like something I've heard before. I really have high hopes for this album, from the previews of the new songs there isn't one I don't like. The only song I don't like is CAROLS, and with each Ayu album I find 1-2 songs that *really* don't suit my taste, so I'm not too worried. I'm really excited about Kazuhito Kikuchi composing About You, though~~

I HOPE that this album will have a fresh new sound to it, will have a beautiful and classy cover(s), will have a balance of techno-ish/rock songs, will not contain English, will not have badddd pop songs like Real Me, will not be overloaded with ballads.

[ohsixthirty]

Hrm...I'd like to see more rockish tunes like GAME. I wouldn't mind to see some english, just here and there. I think it'll be a great album, I have really high hopes for it.

Oh, and I'd like to see the covers with a dark sort of theme...something almost gothic. I really like that Ayu style...definitely NOT something cute like the RAINBOW cover.
