[Official Message] new album "A ONE" 2015.04.08 in stores

[Yoake]

A photo frame? It reminds me Rainie Yang's bonus for her last album. I hope Ayu's one won't be as big as Rainie's one because the shipping fees will be very very very expensive X_X

Regarding to Tell All, as they wrote mix and not remix they might refresh the song merely.

[hidekirby]

I hope the limited box will be a cheap one like ayu/avex usually likes to do so that I won't regret not being part of TA!

I'm glad for Tell All and the new version! The original arrangements are really cheap too.

[ALfromHELLSING]

New version of Tell All? Awesome! Love it. I hope new mix will make it sound even better and not worse. Please don't ruin this epic track.

She probably still gets notifications when people mention her.

Spoiler:

I'm still sad though cuz my covers' account was in that list T_T lol

Spoiler:

I was too T__T

Anyway, the only thing that's pissed me off about A ONE so far is that when she FINALLY decides to rerecord something, it's a song that's only 2 years old :/ But that's only a minor complaint. I've never seen Ayu this excited about a release. Hopefully that's a good sign... but then she was excited about the first Feel the love PV (I think) and look how that turned out lol

I don't think Tell All is being rerecorded, just mixed again.

Looking at the Japanese replies to the tweet...a lot of them keep mentioning globe...are Avex releasing a globe tribute album like TRF?

uhm there will be no Tales of Xillia 3
the next installment is Tales of Zhestria and it already has a title song (since it came out like a week ago)

Does this mean there's hope they'll redo the mix on Last minute???

Probably not meh

It's possible, but not likely. Remember they gave alterna a different mix on (miss)understood (although I actually prefer the single mix).

I wonder if Ayu's been reading AHS. many here have expressed how we want a HQ version of Tell all. not to mention how we've all been talking so much shit about her poor mixing. and a lot of her recent statements ("I've lost sight of who I am as an artist...") seem to echo a lot of what we've been saying here since the release of Colours.

[//ABEST]

maybe the new song is the tribute song that was talked about couple of days ago iirc?

this might be end of my ayu CD purchasing habit. i use to collect all of the versions but these prices are ridiculous Colours was okay to have extra expensive one but now every CD? really? not my cup of tea anymore

Personally I like J-Pop because of the gap with the western music !! I mean (I keep the exemple of colours) I will never heard a song like NOW & FOREVER at the radio or anywhere in my country but songs like Lelio, XOXO, Terminal hum we are saturated by that.
Yes it was cool to hear Ayu sing songs in that style but if I compare this with the musicality & creativity of an album like Love Songs or My Story for exemple in the past I'm sorry but Colours is the artistic nothingness !

A new J-Pop album with Ayu identity is truly welcome at least for me !! It's strange the last single bring nothing new but it was fresh at the same time ! I didn't enjoy a single of Ayu like this one since years=)

I understand. As Tom Punks said, some of us still enjoy Western music. I gave up on Ayu after Party Queen and wasn't revived in my interest until it was announced she was working with m-flo. It was a nice change of pace for Ayu to finally work with different producers cause I was getting a little bored of tasuku (or whatever his name is) and Yuta Nakano working on every single song. The likes of Armin van Buuren, DAISHI DANCE, Freddie Le Grand, etc. were needed to spice up Ayu's music. I immediately pre-ordered Colours without even bothering listening to a preview cause I already knew this album would be better than what she's been attempting to shit out.

Granted, I still ended up loving Party Queen and somewhat enjoying LOVE again. But because she stuck to the same formula for LOVE again, that album became a CHORE to listen to. So it was just nice to see Ayu change the scenery for an album finally after how many years? Also, you can't compare Colours to her other masterpieces (MY STORY especially) Colours was simply a fun album to listen to. It wasn't meant to challenge our minds. Ayu was just having fun and sharing the fun with us.

Zutto... and Walk did nothing for me. But I really enjoyed the emotion in Last minute. I have no memory of Tell all, I must have thought it was unmemorable; considering Pray was released shortly after and I enjoyed that song MUCH more. I'll probably end up pre-ordering the CD only version since I want my Ayu collection to be complete, lol. Excuse the long ass rant.

[Zeke.]

Here's the thing. I don't mind western music completely. I have certain songs I love, but as was mentioned, there's SO MUCH saturation in that department, that even most american artists fail to impress. So I definitely don't need my Jpop artists "attempting" to emulate that style. It's even less likely they will deliver something substantial. Lelio was the exception. Bitch got that right.

Regarding Ayu reading this forum, I do find it a bit ridiculous when people suggest that as a possibility. Lol, you really think she has time to google what foreigners are saying about her and set a course of action to rectify what the minority is saying about her?

[mizuki-7]

Thank you for you reply @NintendoHTF1242 I understand your point

@Zeke.
Her not but she probably has staff for seeking what fans want/think of her ! Maybe not on AHS but on others japanese websites like Mixi etc...

lol she doesn't have to google anything. some people already tweet her the same shit they post here.

[ayumisrael]

Sometimes it could feel like she's reading AHS or something but I think that if they made a new version of Tell All then probably a lot of japanese fans wanted it or just liked the song and gave her feedbacks on Team ayu about it.

I'm too stopping all my collection purchases too. The current management team gives me a very bad impress. It seems like they only want to suck money out of fans (esp hardcore fans) by coming out with these so called "exclusive" stuffs for TA member. But look at Zutto... even after complaining to ayu, the stream is nowhere to be seen and the making of will be included in the new album. TA video updates are even slower than youtube making of. Wth is this membership? Even the cover art of TA version sux. Just change the angle or posture and tadah~ new version for extra money. No effort seems to be taken in making at all. So I've decided to stop all purchases for ayu's discography until they buck up.

[Anna.L]

This new song could be something on the new kingdown hearts ou some OST for movie ou anime?

[ExodusUK]

I have a feeling it's probably a globe cover..Ayu tweeted 2 weeks ago telling TK that she wants to take part in the tribute album..

So many news, hahahaha, a new version of Tell All, yay !!

Her official website says:

さらに、TA限定盤のCDには、デビュー15周年記念楽曲として制作され、2013年4月8日に特典ダウン ロードのみで配信された「Tell All」を2015年仕様にリアレンジした「Tell All (2015 mix)」をボーナストラックとして収録！

I don't speak Japanese, but I can read kana and it says リアレンジ, which means "rearrange", so maybe it will actually sound quite different

Anyway, I'm really excited for this album. But ugh I really want the TA version and it's so expensive! And I wonder if the photo frame will be the same as the one we got with Colours, which was really cheap.

Don't care for the new version but i'm glad tell all will be treated as a deserving album track, Finally.
