Mini-album? Man. I was looking forward to a full pop album. I guess if it's good... we'll see. I honestly do hope, though, that it's false and we get a full album. If not, please don't let it be like just one new track like before.


And please have a better layout than Memorial address.


But I shall foolishly keep hopes high for a full album.

I hope this has some strong new songs. Don't get me wrong, these songs are good, but really, they don't have anything on the Memorial Address songs. I hope this works out well.

i'm more worried about the songs. unless they don't include the B-side songs(Born to Be & Beautiful Fighters), and add in better and stronger songs, i don't see how this mini album is gonna sell much....

Memorial Address is a sucess, while this?

If you thought about it, you could see this coming..I mean, why would they delay in releasing the announcement for a new single? I think this may turn out to be a pleasant suprise. I don't think Startin'/BTB... is as bad as some people say it is. However BLUE BIRD is another story. Maybe avex just thought the single sales weren't big enough this year to attract a large number of people to buy a full album, so they went with a mini instead. So next year, she has a clean slate that will allow her to start over, and bring us stronger stuff. I personally don't think Ayu was too happy with (miss) understood not reaching the 1 mil mark..I mean she probably didn't loose sleep over it, but it probably hurt, at least a little.

^yeah that's definitely right
i think if she had at least 4 new songs, then the album would be sufficient enough to make up for BLUE BIRD and Startin'

At first i was disappointed when i read a mini album but as a few have a said here it is better to do a mini album than a full album with only so so songs.

I'm excited. Anything new from Ayu gets me excited, it doesn't really matter what it is.

Hmm... aside from Startin' I'd be very pleased if the rest of the album had songs in similar veins - but still. Too damn short.

But yeah, I thought BLUE BIRD did like just shy of 260k or something? That's pretty good. I know, I know, it's nothing like her pre-B&D sales last year, but... we've all moved on. It was a great step up from Startin'/Born To Be's sales...

You must be kidding

BLUE BIRD sold around what forgiveness or Daybreak sold (And that was in her "prime"). Some of the 2004 singles sold only 300,000, and I'd say that's pretty close to what BLUE BIRD sold seeing as many people d/l songs these days

mmmmm...meh! I guess it would be good for the people who didn't like the 3 singles' covers to buy this one, provided that it has a kick ass cover (I liked Startin's cover but..it wasn't enough for me to buy it)

Hold your tongue, man!

That would suck like the world's largest vacuum.
