avex have a bad case of engrish, this is called a single not mini-album

Whatever, I don't care how they calling it. It means new songs so it's worth enough for me.

With this amount of tracks, it would chart as an album, even if was named a maxi single. Stop *****ing

No it wouldn't.

Koda Kumi's 4 hot wave had 4 original songs and 3 tracks acting as "remixes" - http://www.generasia.com/wiki/4_Hot_Wave
Appears had 12 tracks (featuring remixes/versions of 3 different songs) and debuted at number 2 in the single chart -
http://www.generasia.com/wiki/Appears
Dearest had 11 tracks with remixes/versions of four different songs.

The rule is if the single has more than four original tracks it's not counted as a single (see EXILE's Fantasy single). LOVE has three original tracks.

Who cares if this is a single or a mini-album this is NEW MUSIC !!!!!!
I'm glad we can get the instrumentals (i really wanted the instrumental for progress)
I'm so excited, this is like Christmas, an ayu release every month (only for 5 months) !!!
My thoughts:

November - LOVE (mini-album)
December - HOTEL LOVE SONGS DVD
January - A BEST 3
February - Digital single
March - New Studio Album ^_^

The rule is if the single has more than four original tracks it's not counted as a single (see EXILE's Fantasy single). LOVE has three original tracks.
actually the rule is: the boundary between EP and album classification at 25 minutes of length or four tracks (not counting alternative versions of featured songs, if present).

This release is a mini because it will be longer then 25 minutes...
As for Kuu.. that single should of been a mini... manly because it had f tracks... but the other three were just on the Cd+DVD... maybe they found a loop hole?

also to note 'Beginning in the 1980s, many so-called "singles" have been sold in formats with more than two tracks. Because of this, the definition of an EP is not determined only by the number of tracks or the playing time; an EP is typically seen as four (or more) tracks of equal importance, as opposed to a four-track single with an obvious A-side and three B-sides'.

just by that I would define this release as a mini... but that is just me

And even if she sells another single and it hits number two.. she still has the most number 1's that doesnt change...
I already stated the second half of your post in a previous post of my own. To me, it just seems logical that the record company would care about the achievements of their singers. I'm sure SME would like to have a singer with Ayu's distinctions.

can you post a source for this? Because these singles exceed 25 minutes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_Splash
http://www.generasia.com/wiki/4_Times

And I'm sure there are more that do so and not to mention the countless Ayu singles that are around 10 tracks long so way over 25 minutes.
The thing is, take away all the crap Ayu has thrown onto the this mini, the 3 songs and instrumentals probably wouldn't exceed 25 minutes.

^ if you acutally quote the rest of what I said... you will see that starting in the 1980's the line between a single and a mini have bleed...

but also every single example you chose has interlude's with the single's and are not actually included into a full length song...

I dont read japanese too well...
But Fantasy was classified as a album because it had 8 tracks, and on that site it said because there were more than four, so one can assume it would be the same standards.

All this EP/Mini album talk, does it really matter?
I mean, we're gonna get a mid tempo ballad! It might be a GOOD song! Maybe even reminiscent of the old days, like Song 4 u tried to do... This is like, the best thing of the year so far (for me at least). But if that ballad disappoints...
At least we have that sad rock song *hopes for a Because of You + Microphone's demented love child*
