no album release in january 09?

sunny · #1 5th January 2009, 06:38 PM

ayu usually release a new album every december/january
but still no news about her new album for this year?

nEwly · #2 5th January 2009, 08:17 PM

There are just rumors but no one exactly knows, I think...

GRACE · #3 5th January 2009, 08:56 PM

imo, there's only one single, that's not enough for Ayu to do an album =/...

Plus, she doesn't always release in January. Secret, for example, was November iirc.

Lol we shouldn't take it for granted with these kinds of things. There's really no set schedule or standard for how an album could/should be released. As of now she's only got Mirrorcle World and Days/GREEN, the former which might not even be included since it was already on A COMPLETE. It all depends on the theme of the album I guess, whether it'll fit etc. Right now it's up in the air though...I can say with confidence there will definitely be an album release this year, just not when exactly. Most likely after March, when Rule has been shown.

Delirium-Zer0 · #5 5th January 2009, 10:03 PM

A COMPLETE had Mirrorcle World, yes, but A BEST had M on it and it still ended up on "I am..." later on, so. Mirrorcle World being on A COMPLETE means absolutely nothing.

She's only had 2 single releases this year, but that's four songs - that's as many as were released before "Duty", and she made that album ("ever free" wasn't on the album, and "Mirrorcle World" still might not be on the next album due to the nature of the track). SURREAL came out the same day so I'm not counting it as a pre-album single.

But I think we can expect Ayu to work on an album as soon as she has time to. My guess is that Sparkle & RULE will be the next single, probably in March, and then we'll get an album in the summer.

But yeah, an album is just not something Ayu's been able to work on yet (understandably). When she can work on it, she'll let us know.

That said, it was WEIRD to have no Ayu album for the holidays o_____o

Evolution7/4 · #6 5th January 2009, 10:13 PM

Mirrorcle World
Life
Days
Green
All could be on there.

Raiu-Ayu · #7 5th January 2009, 10:29 PM

^I don't know if Life will be there but I think the other 3 will + Rule and Sparkle.

I think ayu could actually have an album in the works now. She could release it around Feb/March and then still release one around Dec/Jan time

Ayumi27 · #8 5th January 2009, 10:37 PM

Well, the album could include GREEN, Days, maybe MW, )not Life, since it's supposed to be just a b-side), but what about Rule & Sparkle? I guess she may release of of those as a single in march/april/may and release the album in mid-summer or wait, take a break, and release yet another single, and have the album by late-2009

Delirium-Zer0 · #9 5th January 2009, 10:49 PM

"Will" was on miss understood, I don't know why you guys think "Life" won't be on the next album. I think it's more likely to be on there than Mirrorcle World.

Well, some b-sides are included on the following albums but not all of them... I don't know why, but anyway, I like Life, so it wouldn't be bad to include it

Delirium-Zer0 · #11 5th January 2009, 10:56 PM

"ever free", "Two of Us", and "theme of a-nation '03" are the only b-sides that weren't included on an album... since then, they've all been included (I'm not counting things like "teens" that were included on non-Ayumi Hamasaki albums). I'd say she's more likely to continue the more recent pattern.

If "Life" doesn't end up on the album, I'll eat my hat.

Raiu-Ayu · #12 5th January 2009, 10:57 PM

The only b-sides without PVs to be included on albums are FRIEND and Will so I guess there is a chance but you never know with ayu

NintendoHTF1242 · #13 5th January 2009, 11:30 PM

Mirrorcle World, Life, GREEN, Days, Sparkle, Rule

Sounds like enough for an album, I'm expecting Ayumi to release one near the end of this year at least. She has enough songs, she just needs to start making new ones, but it'll most likely have 5 interludes c: harhar

Ayumi27 · #14 5th January 2009, 11:31 PM

Lets wait and see what happens with Life...
But if the album is released in the second half of 2009, i'd be weird to include a forgotten b-side released more than 1 year before

GRACE · #15 6th January 2009, 12:55 AM

You'd think it'd be weird, but Will and Life are a lot alike in terms of promotion for them and what not, so it's possible.

I just get a feeling Mirrorcle World won't appear on the album considering it TECHNICALLY appeared on GUILTY.

lfe. · #16 6th January 2009, 01:23 AM

January isn't likely at this point and hard to tell about feb,march, etc but I don't care. Atleast she ain't rushing it. Its bound to be a really good album.

LacusClyne · #17 6th January 2009, 01:27 AM

actually i will not want MW to be in the new album, it feels a little ripped off. since it was a full song made from mirror.

Yum!Fruit_Salad! · #18 6th January 2009, 01:27 AM

I glad that an Ayu album didn't occur this year. I can live off Mirrorcle World and GREEN for a little bit longer (that and other releases will help sustain me). I do hope MW makes it on the new album and Life will be forgotten about though I won't be surprised if MW doesn't make it.

Mmm this is actually another reason that it might possibly not make it onto her new album. I'm not saying there's no chance it will make it on the album, just that there is a possibility. Not only was it included on A COMPLETE, but it kind of already was on GUILTY. They could easily make it a first press bonus track and put it on. I'm just interested as to the theme of her new album first. That should clear some things up; whether MW would fit into the album or not etc.

mellody · #20 6th January 2009, 06:29 AM

I think Mirrorcle World will not included in Ayu next album..
It's a Special Song, 10th Anniversary, yea, something like that..

Maybe Ayu next release, i mean albums, will released this year, 2009..
There's also album that not released in January 2009 or New Year right?

Let's remember, once again (evolution~ lol)
A Song for XX - 1 January 1999
LOVEppears - 10 November 1999
Duty - 27 September 2000
I am... - 1 January 2002
RAINBOW - 18 December 2002
Memorial address - 17 December 2003
My Story - 18 December 2004
(Miss)Understood - 1 January 2006
Secret - 29 November 2006
GUILTY - 1 January 2008

I think Ayu is busy with 10th Anniversary, and until the next April (I mean April 2009) she have a break or not just too focused on releasing something..

As far as i know, Dragonball Movie Theme Song "RULE" is currently on project (whether it's PV or somthing), same as HONDA Zest Spark CM Song "Sparkle" and if i'm NOT mistaken, Dragonball Evolution (The Movie) being released in Japan on March 13, so the singles RULE or maybe come with Sparkle on March too..
But maybe on March, because US release in April..

So, maybe Ayu want to close her 10th Anniversary with the RULE i think..
But, it's also possible if Ayu release the song on March..
And the next album maybe on August or September~

Yeah, it's just my opinion~
