I don't think interludes are going to be in this. I'd be inclined to think so if it were 13-14 tracks, but with 11 tracks... I sense something like Colours.

I am also guessing we may get songs that are 'pulled from the vault' like LOVE again.

I don't know if it means anything but there were 10 dates when ayu was mentioning recording days on twitter.

20.1, 21.01, 22.01, 23.01, 24.01, 26.01, 27,01, 30.01, 02.02 and 12.02.

Of course 2 songs could be recorded in two days but everything is just a theory.

And if there is an opening interlude (like Not yet for example) she could record it as well, but it might take less time. So we can't know for sure but most chances for 1-2 interludes tops if at all.

Because the recording span is kinda big, like almost a month of recording with 10 mentioned recording days, at least, 8 new songs with no interludes doesn't seem impossible.

Everything is only a speculation though.

I won't be as excited about interludes as I am about INTRODUCTION. If this album has zero interlude but one great opener, I'm game. Kind of like Duty, but more kickass-sounding than starting over.

Do you (or does anyone) know which songs from LOVE again were fished from the vault?

I just don't want people to get their hopes up expecting 8 brand new full songs when she's only had two albums in the past 10 years that had 8+ new tracks.

# of new songs (excluding intros, interludes, digital singles)
MY STORY - 10
(miss)understood - 6
Secret - 7
GUILTY - 5
NEXT LEVEL - 6
RnR Circus - 7
Love songs - 7
Party Queen - 10
LOVE again - 5
Colours - 7

It's really not clear when the sessions for this album began, but if they indeed started right after CDL, I'd be stunned if her and her staff wrote, arranged, and recorded 8 new full songs in a little over a month.
Except she recorded RnRC, Ls, and La in less than two months each. She even mentioned in an interview during RnRC that she took a little extra studio time than she normally would for an album.

Duty was finished in less than one month...

Ya, me too. It'd be pretty low to release an album with only 9 full songs too, assuming 2 of those 11 tracks are interludes lol. 11 is just too few for interludes. I could see 1 interlude though I guess.

I'm super excited for the album!!! I LOOVE the tittle already. I don't know why but I can't picture a cover with Ayu in the cover, I just see the A logo in my head, not going to happen though.
as for the no interludes thing, I also miss them a lot but with 11 tracks I don't think there will be any. Nevertheless, 11 songs is "planned" so there might be a slightly possibility they add more later on.
A little bit disappointed there isn't any box set version along CDL >_< I'm waiting for TA preorders

I'd love an intro and then just full songs, like Duty.
A hidden track would be nice but that probably won't happen.

I wouldn't mind if A ONE had only introduction on it. Duty is fabulous as it is (11 songs+intro).

ooooh classy banner!

She said the key for the TK song was really high and she didn't want to change it, so it was difficult to record.

I can get a list real quick. It kind of happened for Secret too with It was being originally a contender for (miss)understood.

*translations by Misa-chan*
Wake me up -
Quote:
Firstly, “Wake me up”, which received loud cheers when it was performed at Countdown Live as the opening. It’s a really cool song.
“I love every track in the album, but I really love this song ♪ I’ve kept this song for quite a while actually, always thinking that I’d like to use it someday, and when we were producing mini-album “again”, I just felt “Now’s the time!”, and this song was awakened. The lyrics didn’t come from my personal self. Instead, this is an unusually easy to understand, standard “Hamasaki Ayumi” song.”
SAKURA -
Quote:
I see. How about “SAKURA”? I felt that this was a song that could only be created by ayu, after this period of 15 years.
“Yes. I wouldn’t have been able to create this song in my 20’s. This song is another one which had been lying around, already arranged and ready to go, but I just felt that it wasn’t the time, so I’ve held it close to me, waiting. Many songs in this album share this same story as well.”
Gloria -
Quote:
What about “Gloria”? This one is a legendary combi with Hoshino-san too, right?
“This song has been the director’s baby for the past 6 years (so since 2006 or so), and it finally made its way into the album this time… When I first heard the song, I remember feeling really nostalgic. The song just felt “right” to me, so no matter if years had passed, a good song will never lose its appeal. Moreover, when I was penning down the lyrics, it felt like the final puzzle piece was being fitted in, and it was just perfect for me now.”
There is that one song that Kazuhito Kikuchi wrote for Ayu that she still hasn't ended up using. I really hope we see that song soon.
