"Colours" out July 2nd + PREMIUM SHOWCASE ~Feel the love~ starting May 30th~ [III]

[xLuna&1LOVE]

I don't mind the "short" tracklist. But, I'd hope for a little surprise. Too bad, whatever.
Oh well, I like the songs. The album is great. Wonder what the covers look like.

Edit: still... really? Are some saying again that fans "blame" her for whatever. And that they always do complain? Please... this crap need to stop. I do not see any harm done. Not to ayu. Not to anyone else.

I agree with you so much on this one.

No excitment?

Well, if Avex would arrest you as they do when they found japanese people ilegally downloading music, then I'm sure you would be excited about the 8 new songs!



You would be excited as I am because I only listened to the previews

[Coelacanth]

Some Ayu fans suffer from debilitating nostalgia, and really have no clue what they want from her musically or stylistically. They simply want to experience & relive the same "feelings" and "perceptions" they did with their favorite songs in the past. It's a really bitter stage of fandom, and I'm glad I was able to move past it.

[Kazeyomi]

I like most of her interludes/intros but thank goodness there aren't any this time.
Sometimes they're wasted as 1 minutes longer songs, that's annoying lol.

I'm not shocked by the short tracklist neither as long as the songs are good (and they are for me) I'm happy with it.

[mi|kshake]

NO INTERLUDES!?!?!?

It ain't an Ayumi album without interludes (well maybe a bit of an exaggeration considering Five & Memorial address don't have any). Still, I hope this isn't a continuing trend!

(I think I'm having my first AHS meltdown haha!)

Definitely glad I haven't heard 9 out of 10 songs! Still looking forward to the album.
!
I would so be up a rock Ayumi album! Or even a mini album

[NintendoHTF1242]

At least give me an intro track lol I've always liked Ayu's intros/interludes. I'm underwhelmed but the songs are great. Can't wait to get my copy! And hopefully Tell all is a hidden track.

[truehappiness]

At this point, I was just waiting for the tracklist to be in order. Initially, it seemed like they only released the preliminary tracklist to show off the new producers' songs (the information from Amazon and HMV) but then the official website said "all 10 songs" and "full album" so... we ended up with a 10 track album a few days later after the announcement.

The order is about what I expected, but somehow the '11 colors' comment from the TA blog makes me wonder if a hidden track will be the 11th color. (and kind of align with the amount of tour dates)

I wonder what's up with Terminal and Angel switching on the non-CD+DVD versions.

[Bigtop]

Hmm... Only TEN tracks...the fewest that I've seen?

But maybe...all these ten tracks are NOT interludes? Whoa...

[owlflight]

So "Colours" is a full studio album with 10 tracks but "Love" and "again" are mini albums at 12 tracks. Hmmm... Lelio is still awesome!

At least some smart comments here.
Most of the people are disliking & hating new releases at the same time. It's hard to just completely love or completely hate something.

But here "everytime" someone say something "bad" he get bashed with some stupid sarcastic comments, personal attacks, and "I know better than you stuff". This attitude is so childish, pointless and really really annoying. Some should really chill out, I really hope for you ayu is not the main interest in your life...

Whenever I "complain" here I don't complain about people always loving stuff I don't like, it is so dumb. I respect their point of view, mine is not better than theirs and vice versa.

And to conclude, as an artist too I'm always happy when people are criticizing my work. Some don't get that but it's one of the things that makes you doing better things, evolving, being more creative. I would feel terrible if people always loved my stuff. But gosh some just don't get that...

Well, for example, what you said earlier warrants responses like the one I made. You complained about no new tracks and that she's being lazy because of that. Just like some other people. Even though these are new tracks. 6 of them. and they've announced forever ago how many new tracks there would be. And that's what the showcase is for. They just didn't have a title yet. That was to be announced. Not tracks. This whole project is related to the showcase and so everything is done differently this time.

And that complaint is kind of dumb, because that's a reasonable amount of new tracks, I'm sure those producers were more expensive, and she clearly put effort into the project. Oh, and we already knew how many there were so no surprise. They are the new tracks.

You can complain it's too short, that you don't like it, etc etc. Most people don't have a problem with that though they still have the right to make observations on why you're complaining, which you maybe confuse for bashing.

But yeah, if it's something unreasonable, like misinformation on your part, then yeah, they might get a little sarcastic. I do anyway.

[truehappiness]

I am just glad that we know everything for sure now aside from covers. Having everything in that weird "information isn't really final" format until now was pretty odd.

Something with a darker mood like guilty or duty would be nice lol. And rock.

"unreasonable"...

I don't know what is it but I assume we never really got the answer if there would just be 10 tracks or some extra stuff. And the signs were really confusing. You can't pretend the contrary.
Holding information for a long time, the price, no "mini" mention while as someone said LOVE & again are considered as minis.
Plus I'm not speaking Japanese obviously.

So no, I still think its not just an error on my part and people don't deserve childish comments which creates a bad environment.

I'm already over this.

Edit:
"and they've announced forever ago how many new tracks there would be."
Are you sure?

And to be honest I didn't even think about your comment which is not that bad compared to others.

What point are you trying to make? That I'd be excited about an Ayu release if "avex arrested me"? What's that even about? Hahaha

And I see we suddenly have EIGHT new songs! Surprise people, there are 2 hidden tracks after all!

The official site announced since the beginning 10 songs: Feel the love, MGR and 8 new songs. Pray and Hello new me are considered as new songs (maybe because they didn't get a physical release?).

Okay, bb, you do you. It's whatever.

Not all of us were confused as I saw nothing confusing. 10 tracks( yes I'm sure). 6 new. Premium showcase before release. And withholding the title and covers and track order, etc kind of doesn't matter with what they already said. Probably weren't even finalized, but they did post what was expected. I'd be surprised if there were more.

But feel free to be surprised and think she's lazy. It's your view of ayu anyway. I just like to offer a different perspective if possible.

My point is that if you are not excited about the album is because you ilegally downloaded the music

so DON'T COMPLAIN

Of course and I have nothing against that. I never said I was right.
