[Kanzaki]

Even though one of the pvs were filmed in the Middle east, is it confirmed to be "arabic-themed"?

No... I have quite some bad feelings about this album...

[yoshino]

Yeah for no singles and straight to the album!! Happy!!! But if only she makes more pvs! The tracklist titles sound so good!

[AyUmIXx]

I'm wondering which song she's gonna sing on TV promotions.
but i guess it'll be how beautiful you are?
I wish she would sing Party Queen!

I believe how beautiful you are? for sure, is the only single (even if it's a digital one).
If she does promotion..I don't get the new marketing plans, why no more singles?

I took a few albums off of my shelf to look at guessing a potential track order I think the CD+DVD versions give the best insight when looking at them since they're the new standard for Ayu...it became a bit like a Sudoku puzzle for me xD

Spoiler:

MY STORY - 7PVs
(m)u - 10PVs
Secret - 7PVs
GUILTY - 7PVs (separating glitter/fated)
NEXT LEVEL - 6PVs
RnRC - 8PVs
LS - 8PVs

So our average for the CD+DVD albums is ~7.5PVs/album. So we can expect for another PV or two to pop up...I'd be kind of disappointed if there weren't at least 5, considering FIVE had 5 and that was just a mini also with zilch promotion.

Now we know that the song tracklist isn't finalised and that the PV tracklist doesn't relate to the album tracklist. The "title song" from the album, where there has been one, has always been track 1, 2, 5 or the last track of the album.

The tasuku arrangement is usually in the middle of the album and she usually starts the album off with the more upbeat tracks, drops a ballad in tracks 5-7, interludes around the start of the album, then track 6, then 3rd or 4th to last.

Virgin Road and winding road are both the 2nd last song on their album.

Every one of the above albums except MY STORY and GUILTY had a song title about love. The track numbers were 1, 4, 11 and 13. Only MY STORY had a really upbeat final track so the final track will probably be a ballad, only it probably won't be how beautiful you are because the tie-ins haven't been the last track.

Aside from LS, I wouldn't call her tracklist arrangement very "pretty", short titles and long titles are all over the place so not all the long titles will be together

So here's my psuedo-scientific guess~

a cup of tea (interlude)
Shake It♥
Letter
Eyes, Smoke, Magic (interlude)
call
Tell me why
how beautiful you are
reminds me
taskebab (interlude)
NaNaNa
the next LOVE
Serenade in A minor (interlude - as much as I hate the idea!)
Return Road
Party Queen

Yeah.......I hurt my back so I'm in bed rest for the time being.....I've got nothing to do except read codes into Ayu's albums *sad*!!!

I reckon Serenade will be an interlude like Aria, although I'd love to be proven wrong! I'm also interested in hearing Letter, to see if it's a reference to ASFXX

.....it just hit me that I was on this forum when (m)u and B&D dropped....I remember staying up for over a day with other people here refreshing the site and spazzing for the first upload of the B&D PV from Japanese TV! xD

^ without a finger XD

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

LOL

[YUKARI]

[Griz Lee]

Looks like it, as long as you get first press.

That's what it seems like. HOTEL Love songs won't be getting special packaging in the regular press, whereas in the first press it gets DVD-style packaging instead of being bundled in a CD case like A BEST 2 -BLACK/WHITE-.

I don't know how they'll package it though altogether because a CD case and DVD case are very different dimensions, lol.

[inspire_rmx]

i wish for 2 more PVs. 4 is abit little considering Koda Kumi had like 17 for her album. But i don't mind if it's 4 realli high budget awesome PVs and songs =)

[Suteisi]

Seems to me like we could potentionally have more PVs... kinda weird there are only 4 of them right now...

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

The amount of videos makes sense. I mean, usually she has ~8 months to film various videos for singles throughout the year. Say a total of 3~4 videos. Then she usually films 3~4 videos for the actual album. Resulting in say, 6~8 videos total.

But now she's cut out the singles, and it's basically being treated as all the "album songs" getting videos.

Though I would agree that a few more would have been nice. I'm not expecting that there will be any changes in videos being added. But who knows.
