If that's true than it changes things.

I really really REALLY doubt they'll release the album out of the blue on a digital plataform (as much as I can't wait to listen to it hahahahah), but I can see, as Baernash said, a couple of songs being there just to promote the album since we have no singles. If the countdown was still going on during the weekend and/or this date was the same that the countdown finishes on, maybe it could really happen, but given how things are... Well, we'll have to wait and see

Quoting from other thread because conversations are bleeding into each other once again.

This strategy would be better suited for Hikki's current situation; hiatus for 1500 years and then drop an album out of nowhere. I don't think it makes much sense for Ayu to do this at all really.

The question is if ayu will start her Made In Tokyo Arena Tour 2016 before the album is released. Colours was released 2 months after the tour starts so anything is possible, but I hope she will release the album before the tour.

I don't think it really matters if it does, since Ayu will do as she likes regardless of what reaction happens.

If this is for an early album digital release, the tour will start shortly after.

I think this press release is meant for shareholders and investors etc., not general public

Just downloaded the app and it does seem most of her stuff is already available.
It's really badly designed though. Her artist page only shows her most recent releases if you select 'view all', and you have to actually search for songs/albums individually.
It would be a bit of a mess around if you wanted to make an Ayu playlist.
Otherwise, it seems to be a very similar layout/design/function wise to Spotify.

Are you in Japan or did you use some sort of a proxy server to change your IP to a Japanese one?

Based on the line "This is the beginning" I'm predicting like one new song to be revealed and then slowly they'll get more new songs leading up to the album release. I definitely don't think the whole album is going to appear on there on the 11th.

Maybe those songs she will has teased will be on it...while the rest will be slowly unveiled. Then its gonna be a halfalbum. Kinda like singles and album release at the same time. I hope this way, more emphasis will be placed on each individual track!

I'm UK. I downloaded the AWA .apk via google search, then ran the 'Best VPN' app, set to Japan.

The weird thing is I've put in no details whatsoever and it's now letting me play both radio and individual tracks with no subscription/login.


Spoiler:


It won't allow me to make playlists without registering (fair enough) but I've so far played 6 tracks with no adverts. Quality isn't amazingly high but a neat feature is the option to show lyrics.

Spoiler:


Also worth noting that if anything new is released Wednesday it's quite easy to use a recording app on the streams, so, ya know...

^ I guess it's because it comes with a free trial for like 3 months! Great to know we can download it!

Oh, does anyone know if this 'Best VPN' app is safe to use?

It's really weird though, I thought you still have to register before you can use the trial version lol

Btw, the trial is only 1 month, seems like they changed the policy since that press release.
