Ayu Rumors: Official Chat Thread IV

[noisy_harmony]

Why the same happens here?
BRITNEY WASN'T THE FIRST WITH ALL CIRCUS THEME. If you want to write how this reminds you of Britney, go away from here...

It clearly states "unconfirmed" and this person is just passing along possible info.

Yes, I know that, but it doesn't hurt to be cautious.

The screencapping his own blog + linking to it in the post is somewhat suspect to me along with his mention of someone who had previously leaked tracklists being "right" and "accidentally" posting this in the News forum instead of the rumors thread... (the rumors thread is in the Chat Room)

Also, I'm suspicious because Maxker has posted information in the past from various sources as "unconfirmed" that ended up being later proven as completely false. Many Japanese people frequent his blog, so I wonder if perhaps he's aware of this and wants to circulate rumors through ayu.no?

jeez man... take a chill pill, there's no reason to attack like that =.=''

I am not attacking, I am simply questioning because I am curious to know more about what the origins of this tracklist are. Keeping things vague (like who it was that gave him this tracklist) and leaving people guessing only makes me wonder even moreso than if he just posted this from nowhere.

And that's a pretty strange setup with two different ballad sections... and why would Rock'n'Roll Time happen AFTER the rock section of the album is already over just before the ballads? We'll see when official news comes out.

01.Circus
02.Sexy little things
03.Microphone
04.MIND
05.dead moon
06.BALLAD
07.player
08.Don't look back
09.Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~
10.timetable
11.Rock'n'Roll Time
12.Flame out
13.You were...
14.Bracelet
15.Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~

I don't understand the need to place the tracklist in an image file instead of typing it out/copy pasting, by the way. Doesn't that make it more suspicious since you say you got it from someone that you know in Japan who has been right about previous tracklists (like which?!) but for the most part other than GUILTY which we got early from TeamAyu on accident, no tracklists have been leaked by any single person? With Ayumi Hamasaki-related material, anything that isn't released from a shop or an official Ayu-related information source (her website/TeamAyu/mu-mo) tends to be fake.

Bolded tracks would be what I consider to be possible interludes.

jeez man... take a chill pill, there's no reason to attack like that =.=''


the tracklist sounds pretty true and Ayu-ish
i wouldn't mind if this were the real deal

[freedreamer]

01.Circus
02.Sexy little things
03.Microphone
04.MIND
05.dead moon
06.BALLAD
07.player
08.Don't look back
09.Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~
10.timetable
11.Rock'n'Roll Time
12.Flame out
13.You were...
14.Bracelet
15.Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~

For me, i think these are the interludes. A prelude to BALLAD will be amazing. player totally sounds like a flirty song leading to Don't look back...i dunno. Suddenly BALLAD seems out of place and Don't look back -> Sunrise is kinda weird. Sunrise suits as an opening song...

I'm guessing Don't look back is getting a PV...and hopefully another amazing song will...there has been too many amazing Ayu songs void of PVs >.<
i wish it will be Flame out...

but question...Rock'n'Roll Time leads on to a series of ballads?...hmmmm

[Midori-chan]

I'll not start screaming from happiness until I see this on an official site, but if it's really the tracklist for Ayu's new album, then I'm going to be very, very, VERY happy indeed!

I LOVE the songtitles, especially "Circus" and "dead moon".

sorry, I didn't want to annoy anybody... just said what came to my mind... I think there is still a freedom of speech these days!! I love Ayu really much, and I DID say that I'm not the Bitney fan, but the title sounded familiar... so please don't tell me what to say and where to go... I can say whatever I like!!! =P

[noisy_harmony]

^ but it not means that we have to write everything which comes to our mind. Posts in "it's so Britney-ish" style have been appearing since tour title was announced. Why can't anybody understand that it's getting annoying and boring?

[Michiko]

...if this is the playlist..it's very interesting ! It's way better than the other rumours xD Here's hoping <3

Lol... I do understand if its annoying, but I'd say I'm not a mind reader to know what's on people's mind so I did know you'd get so annoyed... plus it's the world of art and in order to be good you need to be original! Ayu is original and with every new album brings something new, but that title and some song names do remind of Britney that is all I said!! lol don't get sooooo pissed off lol, just ignore "brit" comments lol ha ha ha ha

lmao omg i need glasses rite now xD

[*-_Ayu-fan_-*]

It's a great tracklist allover 15 songs .. very great

dead moon HAHA Sailor Moon comes into my mind

[noisy_harmony]

^^^ it's not against you, so stay calm I'm thinking about that all situation what is happening since long time. I can't let you to don't say your thoughts. You're not only one who said about Britney, even here in that thread.

[Misa-chan]

Not bad, if it's the real tracklist then it'll be amazing, 'cause the titles are all really unique. ^^

You may not be attacking, but you sound really really harsh and just a little rude in your replies. So maybe we can all tone it down a little? No use getting so upset, Maxker himself also said it is just a rumour.

[AngelSenshi]

I won't believe it until it's official, but I do thank this person for bringing whatever he knew forward, however he got it. After all, there are even threads where people make up what they want the album to be, right? So even if it's just another fake we'll just have to shrug it off and move forward, since after all, sooner or later the actual thing is going to come out, right? If it's another fake we'll know for sure then. Until then, I really think a mod still SHOULD move it to rumours area.

If it's the real deal it sounds quite cool by the titles, but it's also rather confusing for the strange set up it has that other people have already pointed out.

[Foyuki]

album title songs are both interludes?
From A Song for XX to NEXT LEVEL
except for MY STORY(But this title is special )
all of them have full song~.~
So I think Circus is not an interlude

[Tom Punks]

IFFF this is the real track list (which I doubt it is) it is pretty interesting. I'm not disappointed. I like "dead moon" and "Flame out". "player" sounds weird though...

If this is real, I'm guessing "Flame out" is an interlude connecting the more upbeat songs (like "Rock'n'Roll Time") to the ballad section with "You were..."

I'm siding with th this time... It is annoying when people post rumored track lists in the news sections. And he doesn't even have a reliable source. :/

Ok. I'm studying IT technologies and programming. I know how TeamAyu site works. What you've got from words of your friends is impossible, unless he is working as administrator of the TeamAyu or know administrator's password^^
Anyway if that was scheduled and seen by your friend from TA site we can only expect it to be posted on TeamAyu in 1-2 days. I don't really think they schedule all this information for more than 24 hours. And maybe your friend saw album title somewhere there also? Or they will post tracklist first leaving album title "Undecided"?
sorry
I don't mind if it's true, but I really hope it's not^^ haha

Perhaps I do sound a bit harsh and rude. But I feel as though he did not post it here by accident. (Blog promotion? I don't know.)

I think this is the result of seeing many people lied to by Maxker, and seeing them believe what he's said as the truth in the past. I don't mean to be rude, but I am just trying to warn people that he has not exactly been one of the most honest news reporters at this forum so that they don't end up disappointed when things turn out to not be true. I'm grateful that he did the A WORLD is ONE project, but I have to say that I had my doubts at the time. You have to admit though, that after years of seeing him report news and not seeing any of it have any ounce of truth at all, things are going to seem suspicious.

It was rather strange when the GUILTY tracklist came out, since the tracklist was not on TeamAyu at the time and somehow it was retrieved. I'm not exactly sure how they did it, but shawn2623 stopped posting at Ayuchina after that incident and I can't find a post by rongayu about it (they are the two who apparently found the tracklist on TeamAyu before it was posted...)

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

maybe rock n roll time will be like pieces of seven, but backward...start off all upbeat and then change to a soft sounding interlude.
