Hopes for the new album...

[tsuki]

^ noo, not gothic!!

I would like to see some deep, mysterious, meaningful covers. in the forest maybe... some fairies.. ayu as a banshee ^^

[DarkAyumi]

I'd like something like Memorial Address as a cover - just a really nice simple picture of her. Considering the title of the album, she's probably not going to be pictured in the desert, or dressed like a cat. ^_^
Despite Game/Inspire, and what I've heard of About You and My Names Women, I have a feeling this is going to be kind of ballad-heavy, but I kind of like that. I loved Carols, and her ballads have made me happy lately.

[alterego]

I hope MY STORY will be a good blend of songs with different songs encompassing different seasons and emotions, I suppose something to listen to at all seasons. I hope the feelings of each song balance each other out, with not too many happy songs not too many sad songs, just a nice balance. It would also be nice to hear a few songs on this album produced by CREA. I hope to hear more varrying sound styles and I anticipate and hope this exceeds her past work.

[TeamAyu]

Hmm some other hopes I have for this album will be no English either. She said so herself that she doesn't need to write in English to communicate her feelings/message. I myself also want another 'Real me' I LOVE THAT SONG, but w/o the English haha which is ironic as 'Real me' is like 60% English. I also want at least 2 more epic ballads or power ballads I'm feeling towards more like 'forgiveness' than something like 'Free & Easy'. Hmmm I also want more use of REAL instruments like in 'CAROLS' and lots and lots of the piano and acoustic guitar... as I'm a sucker for those instruments. Hmm that's all I can think of for now and I'm with DarkAyumi on the cover thing, I want something classy like 'Memorial address', either that or something breathtaking like 'RAINBOW'.

Wait... I actually want a cover/booklet with ALL types of Ayu styles like her Dome Tour costumes. Something unique about every photo showing each aspect of Ayu since it is titled 'MY STORY'.

i hope there will be lots of nice photos in the booklet!!

[lovia]

well, english is not a problem for me... but i hope it is like the LOVEppears album where there is GOOD mix and variety of music.... lets hope there is a trance in that album and a few happy songs to balance the whole album, because i think the songs that are already released sounded quite sad ......

[Mirai Noah]

Hmmm... I don't want to sound like any of her other albums, I want it to show the Ayu today. A good, solid album, that I can listen to all the way though without skipping any tracks. I don't really mind the Engrish, but I'd rather she not use any. And like some of you already said, a nice, classy album cover like "Memorial address".

[kournikova]

i want an album which presents ayu now... in fact i still dun understand why people underrate game inspire carols... or maybe moments.. maybe its not her best songs.. but i think its better than nothing I love all her song n i will buy even the album maybe is the worst of her release ... as the title says.. its about her story maybe id like to hear a nice beginning n a nice ending... (like a story...)

[elepop]

I guess something more like LOVEppears, Duty or I Am...

But i prefer something really new, fresh. Something different but still great. I want more upbeat songs than ballads. I like songs like evolution, Naturally, UNITE, AUDIENCE, Boys & Girls and Trauma so i except a little bit of techno-ish songs.

RAINBOW wasn't 'that' bad. I really liked WE WISH, but the english lyrics was not the best options. I think we should all wait. I'm pretty much sure it's better than RAINBOW.

OH! No more rockish songs. Not to in love with those.

[AyuGAME]

My Story looks very promising album for me..
All singles that she has been launch this year so far so good for me..
my favourite is CAROLS.i hope there is many songs like this that she will release..
My favourite album so far is Memorial Address and i would love to see that My Story will have the same quality as memorial address. Not the same style but has the same quality. When i hearing MA, i don't even skip one track. I love all the songs in there..
So i hope My Story will contain all nice songs. I like all styles that she has been singing until now. The most is ballad style and rocks style like BoY.
CAN'T WAIT anymore..!

[truehappiness]

...eh? Everyone has funky things that they're saying lol. Let's just think of it this way. Let's be glad that she's still releasing music, because I dunno what I'd do without Ayu..

Zeo

[kristen]

i predict at least 2 interlude songs and a song called MY STORY.

as for what i'm looking for, i really really like ayu's rock-pop style, so i wouldnt mind if she had a majority of those type songs on her album (it already looks like there will be at least 3). I also wouldnt mind getting some ballads and pop songs. It'd be like a variety. Another End of the World would do nicely as well.

[Echiko]

For cover, i want it to be like Memorial Address...For Loveppears, some people called her a **** because of it. > >; Which is WRONG. And for Duty...some people thought it was weird...And for A Song for XX..that one was nice. =) But if it's something pretty and shiny like Memorial Address...I'd LOVE it. XD;

For songs..I want the lyrics to be have equally sad and happy ones. And her current style is all good to me so I don't have any worries on what songs I won't like and such. =P And hope there's a good balance in upbeat songs and ballads too!!

can't wait!

[tsuki]

it would be nice if the album included some non-single version of songs.. like endless sorrow...
INSPIRE or CAROLS maybe...

[lolo66]

I want surprises, something that no one have yet thought about.
