Aside from Last minute with better mixing, I kinda want Walk ~album version~ as well, but probably it's just me.

a Bell. What if it sounds like the bell intro in Virgin Road performance at AT 10... meltdowns.

I hadn't even thought about that for Walk. I love that song as is, but a special mix for the album would be great. I would love it if they did a remix similar to Who (Across the Universe) from A Ballads. <3 Give it that really pretty, warm sound.

Is it just me or does NO FUTURE sound like it could be on A Song for XX (album)? At 5:32 of the HQ preview, it sounds like FRIEND II. I think that's why I love the song so much. I may be in the minority but I love ayu's first album. Dated sound and all lol.

I would like Ayu to recreate ASFXX for the present day. LOVEppears is where her sound as we know it came to be but that album is so 'unique' in her discography for the utterly mid-90s-esque sound.

Me too. Especially because ASFXX has some of her best lyrics imo. I'd love to hear those with a more modern sound (and vocals ).

I don't mean to ramble on sales, but I was just realizing that one day there's only going to be like five people here who bought Ayu's latest album and then spent 2 full threads bickering between each other over whether it was a quality album.

Enjoy this while it lasts!

I'm starting to think that the meaning of album's title is Ayu and her husband becoming one single human being, like two pieces of puzzle finally together. I like Asia is one theories as well:-) I'm not sure about Asia tour but it's very likely that Ayu will come to both Singapore and Taiwan during A-nation.

she was "ALONE" but now she's "A ONE." it's kind of corny, but as a non-native English speaker she probably thinks it's brilliant lmao.

Im kinda surprised she didn't recorded any songs with "alone" in the title since I am. This words is very ayu-ish (according to her lyrics)

and for "NO FUTURE" i hear sooo much oldschool, thats why i like it so much.

Totally agree! After The Gift lyrics I'm sure in this theory

So the album cover/booklet features Ayu's husband? xD Because she said that we'll understand the meaning when we get the album lol

Listening to The GIFT some more, I am getting Close to you vibes... like, it's that kind of track that people are going to overlook for whatever reason even though it's a pretty good song. (other songs in this vein include Key ~eternal tie ver.~, no more words, etc...)
