[Official Message] NEW MINI ALBUM『FIVE』 2011.8.31 in stores

[pride123]

Aww.
Thanks for sharing!
Can't wait for these new songs.

[Ayusan]

Won't buy that ! Two duo ? Is she joking ? I want an Ayumi Hamasaki album not an album with featuring. I hate this. Plus Naoya Urata ... she really should clean her ears !
Next please !

[Minttulatte]

I sense hate for collaborations here for some reason. Personally I think it's good that she does those now because she usually doesn't. I hope they are good too.

[AyUmIXx]

aren't we all excited coz we wish ayu to release another mini album like Memorial address?
I'm excited for this new release..
I'm actually glad that ayu's slowing down her work actually..

[xLuna&1LOVE]

That's great news! Cannot wait!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Ohhhh... Ayu... Naoya... AN... I get it... haha

Kinda silly... haha

BUT IM STILL SO EXCITED.


But FIVE is the total number of songs on the album (minus the bonus track on CD only)... which is probably why it's named as such haha.

[PoetGirl]

yeah, I hope for rnb song again, omg... maybe this is rnb mini album LOL

oh I should stop dreaming

[toniayu]

OMG!unexpected.... *___*
I don't like the tittles too much...but i can't wait!!!

[fuawas]

OK This was so unexpected! lol
But I'm really excited ^^ I really can't wait for the cover ._.

[nanomi]

Awesome awesome. I'm really excited for this release...It's such a great surprise, since I wasn't expecting any new ayu releases anytime soon : )

[Rebirthia]

the best title song is BRILLANTE, a really nice word in Spanish, it has this sound (I know there's a word for this, can't find it!!)

and a very positive word too

it's like glitter, but better ^^

[NintendoHTF1242]

This was SO unexpected! It's cool to see her collaborating with artists now too! And DAYUM!!! JUNO is HOT!

[thatstacey]

lol I read "ANother song feat Naoya Urata" as "another as-of-yet-untitled song featuring Naoya Urata" It took me a few minutes to realize the official site wouldn't list it like that lol. Look at them using their branding...

I'm excited, but I don't like there being multiple versions of an album outside the usual format preferences (I know it's a mini-album, but still...). I get putting something ~special for Tales fans, but what's this bonus acoustic track nonsense?:/

Will fans outside Japan be able to use that access card? :3

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

"Why... feat. JUNO" is a medium number featuring Junsu's brother
"beloved" is the ballad composed by Hoshino Yasuhiko that fans have been expecting
"ANother song feat. Urata Naoya" is a sad ballad with lyrics that'll touch your heart
"BRILLANTE" has a mysterious and impressive atmosphere

According to Team Ayu's mail.

[LacusClyne]

I like this idea, but I hate that I had to wait another month for my bluray disc, my akb48 pvs collecti

[BlackSilence]

lol 5 because of the 5 songs on it? i think it's pretty obvious, unless Ayu has other secret reason for that xD

[Benikari47]

YEEEEES, i love how this came out of nowhere.. such a big suprise <3
All the tracks sounds awesome, can't wait for the covers!

[elvesword]

Who is JUNO...???hahaha, anyway really looking forward to the mini album, and 5 mvs!!!!!!LOVE IT!!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I wonder if the Tales of jacket will be a rendition of Ayu by the artist behind Tales? Or if it'll be the characters from Tales...hmmmm


The good thing about this being a mini-album and having 3 versions is that... it's a mini album. which means the price is cheaper haha. ^^;

[freedreamer]

its like 2 ballads, 1 midtempo, 1 uptempo, and 1 mysterious LOL
