[News] New mini album out August 5th, 2015

[attractive nausea]

^ Yes that Soft Bank CM in 2010, i loved that CM so much!

For me the problem with XOXO is her voice during the chorus, this aside it's a nice dance track, and given I really like ayu's Movin' on without you, I deeply trust RedOne to make her a good dance track!

[TeddyGrahams]

Apart from the atrocious pv, XOXO'S main problem was too much engrish. You'll think it's just only about girls just wanna have fun and dance forever, but the last Japanese line cries a bit of desperation. Like ayu knows it's self destructive but she needs it for the moment even if tmw brings regret. That little subtly is lost in the rest of the song because English isn't her forte.

i love XOXO, pv is horrific but song itself is so much fun GURLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN, HAVE FUN!!

Hate that PV as well. We all know ayu use iPhone but in PV she has to use Sony shit phone.

It's unfortunate that her recent PVs can be that bad because a bad PV can really ruin a good song. Every time I'm listening to a song which has a PV I can't help but having images of the video in my mind.

A bad PV usually won't ruin a song for me at all. That happened to me for the first time with Feel the love though. Really bad PV that I can't help but think about when I listen to it.

^ You didn't like A ONE's PVs? Zutto... is super boring minus the final, but the others are great and don't ruin the songs at all imo, not like the Colours and LOVE again PVs mess.

Oh sure they were quite good. I didn't mean to include them. Except WARNING's PV. The only one on A ONE (a lot of "on" going on...) made by "A Crew". Why am I not surprised...

Actually talking about RedOne as an individual is pretty confusing because it seems like in fact they are a team http://www.redoneprod.com/team-red/ with a looooot of different people who worked on differents songs, if you take Gaga's example, it says that Bad Romance and Alejandro were made by some guy whereas Judas was made by another guy. But yeah RedOne is supposed to be a moroccan composer so i'm reallllllly confused about that, i mean who actually makes the songs?

Here's what i read in the booklet :
XOXO :
music & melody by Ameerah A Roelants, Yohanne Simon, John Mamann, Rush Aziz, AJ Junior
produced by De Paris and Rush for RedOne productions, LLC
Mixed by Trevor Muzzy for RedOne productions, LLC

That's why i'm not so confident when talking about "his" works because actually there are a lot of people involved and they did some songs that i know that you would never guess it's RedOne's sound
But since i liked XOXO and MOWY i'm sure i'll like the next one

[truehappiness]

I think "RedOne" as we know him is Yohanne Simon and everyone else is kind of just also attached to the RedOne name as assistants. If you read the biography, he is referred to as one person. And the XOXO remix on the PlayAir is known as the RedOne "Yohanne Simon" remix.

We don't even have a name for this mini album or a track list. It's gonna take a while till we get covers (or any of the previously mentioned).

[truehappiness]

I just want song titles/concepts first.

For me, I wish this could happen to ayu in this mini album.

Song Title (David Guetta feat. Ayumi Hamasaki)

[Gustavopc]

I'm not expecting covers till the tour is over tbh Hopefully a title tho, but I guess shooting of PVs and the mini itself won't happen soon

[Tom Punks]

I just want the composers. If there's more TK I'll know whether I care or not :')

[~*Mabushii*~]

I hope her covers don't suck. :/ Really she should ask fans to make her cover this time!!

[truehappiness]

A fan kinda-sorta did the CDL14-15/AT15 thing and look how that ended up.

[adantatu2]

It's not even May, lol. You have to wait at least 1 month and a half for at least the tracklist
