Maybe I'm not disappointed because a good friend is a really BIG K-Pop fan and she shows me always all of the new releases. Those bands seem to only release mini albums like LOVE and again with still less content.
Her favourite release this year was TEEN TOP's mini album It's
Spoiler:

01. Teen Top (Intro)
02. Michigesseo (미치겠어; Going Crazy)
03. Where's Ma Girl
04. Girl Friend
05. Michigesseo (R&B Slow Mix) (미치겠어)
06. Michigesseo (Inst.) (미치겠어)


So I was used to this kind of releases and not shocked about LOVE or again, it's a trend I guess. And if this whole 5 releases thing has this overall LOVE again theme I'm not disappointed with the A CLASSICAL covers anymore, 'cos it simply fits the theme.

But Maki didnt put interludes on the album, nor put everything from them in it. And since she was going on hiatus after it, it was actually a kind of a compilation of her avex material with some new songs, much like Utada's singles collection 2. She was not celebrating her 15th anniversary...

I didn't said we should glorify that, just that I was used it and think it is a trend right now.

Argh, I'm really sorry, I was just so mad I went a bit over the line. I mean, those are not mini's, they're singles, and that's a trend I hate so much... And thats typical of Kpop, not Jpop... It just feels so wrong...

So many people are angry and disappointed on AHS...I wonder how the Japanese fans are going to feel.

im a HUGE k-pop fan. I'm so used to this. But no K-pop artiste has ever led me to buying their mini album or any material persay. I have other reason why so. Ayu's the only artiste whom I would spend money on, on every album release (including the minis) so when something like this comes about, I think its natural that there is disappointment. Branding those singles as minis...now everything has come clear and what will people think? what will her FANS think?

I know we Should have expected and seen it coming. BUT, ayu herself said this project is for her FANS. It's NOT about sales. Why do you bother putting EVERYTHING back into an album when it's about MUSIC?? If she had that much material, make a new mini instead? Perhaps it's just avex's way of making fans listen to these songs but come on, those who really wanted to buy would buy it eventually.

im just confused...yea

No problem.

I just thought maybe the avex logic behind this is: K-Pop is trendy -> mini albums are trendy -> Ayu would be trendy by releasing mini albums... xD

Judging from her sales, I think they missed the point there

I wonder if we'd be feeling the same if she made a third mini now and then put everything in a BEST in March lol

I don't think their reactions will be too different. I can't think of any cultural differences that might lead us to believe Japanese fans have no problem seeing material advertised as mini-albums included in a future album. What the heck was avex and Ayu thinking...?
