14th album out February 8th, 4th of five 15th anniversary releases

[inspire_rmx]

OMG I'm so hyped by this news!! it's awesome ^^ its really a pleasure surprise. i guess that the fifth release will be A BEST 3

[pepper]

let it be rock [2]!

I said, I want main track like Microphone/Love song, Party Queen didn't had one.
and a lot of rock/Wake me up style songs!
Party Queen showed she can put ONE ballad in album, so please let it be one, and one GOOD old POWER ballad like HEAVEN <3

one experimental track would be fine...
and covers? anything really that is not LOVE-themed and cute (LOVE and again is enough) and not minimalistic this time... (LOVE and again is enough) sth close to FIVE would be fine.

and for the record, Party Queen covers was kinda original, she never did covers like that and they fit the title well so I still like them.

Depends on how heavy the good(s) is/are. If it's something light that can easily slip into a similar size packaging to what they were already planning to use then they won't charge us more. But if it's heavy or requires a (significantly) larger box then there's a chance they will.

Then it's down to how much you really want that version.

No more Limited preorder why? xd

[TeamAyu2004]

all the preorders are gone?
MAN, glad I ordered it when i did.

[Chibi-Chan]

*cries* because of Xmas I haven't any money left, I couldn't preorder one... v_v I hope they will restock!

People, don't be afraid about songs from the minis. When Ayu announces an album with songs from singles, she always announces that songs before the entire tracklist, and this time we have nothing (it was the same with Party Queen). Just look the threads from other albums (Love songs, Rock'n'roll Circus...) and you'll see

Do you only pay using Paypal then? If you pre-order and pay via card they won't charge it until February.

[toLOVE]

Ayu please please please release another Party Queen like album. (besides the album cover) I love that album from start to end. Party Queen's a freaking masterpiece.

Here in Germany most people don't have or use credit cards, so I would have to pay via PayPal. v_v

I hope for this not to happen! D;

I love the concept of Party Queen as a whole, but break it down and then there are only a couple of tracks that I consider truly amazing/memorable when compared to Ayu's other songs. Today is the first time since June 21st (according to iTunes) that I've listened to this album all the way through. It didn't give me the same "WOW!" feeling I have when I re-listen to her older albums after a few months distance.

I find every track unique. My favorite part about that album is the jazz session (too flawless). I think everything about Party Queen era is original and new <3 At first it wasn't much of a "wow" for me as well, but after listening to it a few times I just fell in love with it.

I don't think it will be experimental. All the songs on the minis are very, very safe.

They should be an indication of what will actually appear. Though, one could argue that we did receive how beautiful you are, and it was not a true indication of Party Queen at all. XD

[TeamAyu2004]

if anything, everything she has been doing is VERY ayumi... so I'm hoping the album will be more very ayumi.

So true. According to minis we would have hints on how the album will be. But they're minis and not singles in disguise, so I think this album will be a surprise. Well I hope for that PQ was a surprise for me.

Btw I was tempted to preorder the limited edition, but I wasn't sure about goodies.
If they're glasses/mugs again.. no thanks. I own the two PQ glasses and they're cute but c'mon avex you should be more creative sometimes .

HMV Japan still has all editions in stock.

ARGH!

I just want to know the title. And my only hope for it is that it doesn't contain love anywhere in it's appellation.
Too many loves in her discography already.
