AWA Music (streaming service) teasing 'big news' on May 11th involving Ayu #ayu511

A LITTLE MORE THAN 5 HOURS LEFT

Spoiler:

Lol

It'll probably be nothing. We shouldn't get our hopes up. This whole thing is a hot ass mess though if we don't get AT LEAST ONE FULL SONG.

[Tom Punks]

It better be all or nothing I wanna hear the new songs for the first time all at once

But yeah, I doubt it's going to be anything all that exciting

[RealLight]

damn



I don't think I've been this nervous about a release before

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I mean...never know. It could be some lame announcement about nothing or she really COULD pull a Beyonce and put the entire album out. I just don't think the latter is smart for marketing or sales, but I don't think ayu cares much about that at this point. Maybe Avex knew the album wouldn't sell too great regardless, so they teamed up with AWA for this album. Who knows. I just hope we get SOMETHINGGGGG

You can still wait for the whole thing to leak but i know how much of a pain in the a** it is

I just thought of something, i imagined if we were living in that situation of upcoming big surprise and excitation back in 2013 only to find out about "LOVE again", that would have been the funniest thing. The meltdown would have been so harsher it would have killed this forum

Love again stunt #neverForget

Frankly, I think the only meltdown I ever had as far as I can recall is when the 10th anniversary was a bit lacking, but it was made up for later on in the year. Initially though, that was quite the sad anniversary. I am hoping 20th anni will be more well planned out.

Avex didn't team up with AWA, they actually co-own it So I'm guessing they're using Ayu to promote the app.

[truehappiness]

They always use Ayu to try new things.

I wonder what is next after this. The last big thing they did was the Love songs .wav thing right?

[spanishfan]

^maybe the last was to promote an album with "free" singles at concert venues?

[truehappiness]

I suppose so, but I think a lot of artists have had free CDs at concerts as far as I can recall.

[thinkingoutloud89]

^yeah, but all new songs from the next album?

[truehappiness]

I want to say "new song(s)" usually. But just a new distribution method overall is what I was getting at, not the specifics about content. I think Ayu was one of the first to have a CD+DVD album way back when or also one of the first to have a microSD+USB album.

Was she also one of the first for PLAYBUTTONS too?

I'll say Five bluray
Plug air wasn't new,right?

[truehappiness]

I don't think so... but maybe she was one of the first on avex?

I know she wasn't first for MUSIC CARDS either.

[Ryusei]

great... 10AM in japan is 3AM for me which is the latest time I wanna go to bed. damn you AWA/ayu/avex

[Ad Eternam]

I was just thinking... Last year, A ONE was released 4 days before the premiere of AT2015. So it would make sense to release MADE IN JAPAN 4 days before the premiere of AT2016.

Well, hope so! ^^

Personally, I wouldn't much enjoy going to an ayu concert and hearing new songs. I love knowing them and the lyrics. Much better experience, imo.
