New album 'Colours' out July 2nd

[LEOyumi]

I liked the xoxo preview, it's the trashy club theme ayu seems to love so much (so do I lol)
The only complaint thart I have is that in her PVs lately most of the time she's not the main attraction. I love the dance parts, but they seem to be the focus of the PV, it should be her, even if it's just posing around doing fish lips in front of the mirror looking like a teenager <3

IMO the problem is that the song is not trashy..i feel it more classy (like "On the floor" of J.LO ..made it by the same producer)
she is overacting again, like "beautiful fighters", and the video concept "lets gonna make a video with my selfphone" looks cheap.


a beach video it would be even better than this

The Album (10 tracks) is PERFECT my dear
each song a gem... coupled with terrible videos.

The song, for me, is something you'd listen while you're with your friends in your bedroom preparing for a party, changing clothes, taking selfies, etc. XD
I think that it's a very nice thing she's doing, giving spotlight to Lico and all. Let's see how the full PV goes.

XOXO's video seems like a Hot mess, I love it <3

[adantatu2]

I think I'm glad there is a CD only edition <3

[AyuGAME]

i think there will be some meaning on XOXO PV with twist at the ending...

[holy_arrow]

Can't say like or not the pv xoxo cause it's just the preview. But her mouth when she sing chorus make me scared ... However licco and ayu is so nice...

#2 Tomomi Itano's bebut album (AKB48 solo act, no more words)
#3 UVERworld new album (last album debuted with 95,441 copies ^^')
## ayumi hamasaki - Colours (with 50k?)
#4 KAT-TUN's new album second week
#5 Chris Hart's new album second week
#6 Kimura Kaela's new best album second week

Ayu might be #4 (optimist) or #5/#6 (pessimist)... Things got worse now that Oricon won't count Japanese copies shipped outside Japan anymore. Hard times are coming.

Whoa... I didn't know about it... It's obvious about Kisumai (Johnny's, obviously; why would Avex do Kisumai and Ayu on the same day???) and Tomochin (former AKB48), but I didn't know about UVERworld...

And, yeah, KAT-TUN - I'd be surprised if they would outsell Ayu's first week sales...

And what's with Chris Hart selling in Japan?

And since Ayu has a more significant INTERNATIONAL sales than, say, Kisumai (which their fanbase is almost exclusively Japanese), and Oricon now EXCLUDING INTERNATIONAL sales for their sales numbers...this is probably the perfect storm - FOR THE BAD. I mean, what a turn of events... First the concerns between Ayu and Tomochin, then Kisumai announcing an album that completely eliminates the chance of #1, and even reducing the chances of a #2 because of Tomochin, and then came that Oricon announcement that they won't count international sales anymore...

Is this the end of the Ayu era on the Oricon top list? It seems I don't even care about Oricon or Ayu anymore...

I'm very curious to see how this PV turns out!

[waterballoon]

she looks so hot in XOXO.. at least she's catering to the gay crowd here, and at least she's DOING SOMETHING.. that selfie-video oh God how fabulous could this get?

way better than Lelio IMO.. now that was a shit video

There's no way Ayu will sell less than KAT-TUN's 2nd week. They are very frontloaded. Chris Hart won't be a problem either.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I actually think this one looks fun haha.

[kinix]

I really don't like what I'm seeing from the preview.... she's over reacting and acting like a b***.... this is kinda standing together with sparkle pv....

[jbrat2219]

Something tells me this is a parody of today's self-absorbed, selfie culture... Thus the exaggerations xD

[orangeakira]

The video reminds me of Namie Amuro's Sexy Girl without the choreography.

[ayumint]

body suite in night club is make sense but during day time and in public road is WHATTT???
