14th album out February 8th, 4th of five 15th anniversary releases

[Zeke.]

I posted about the announcement on facebook and my friend goes:

You forgot the half-eaten doughnut, used tampon, and coffee grounds + cassette tape version.

Lol!

[Delicious n Bold]

^Ayu's bound to do that.
She needs to get back at her for snatching the British thing.

[George]

Calm down, people. Why would they be included though, they aren't singles.
(If they are I would laugh or cry maybe both)

[JackieRos]

yes excitement!!!!

February is only 2 months away yus.


please no maro

[TeamAyu2004]

LOL... I'm so hoping the cover is a picture of Maro holding up his hands with the peace signs, all his teeth showin.
"Suckers!" plaster across it.
LOL =)

man, HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE its all new...
I would kill for 14 PV's. (no making needed)
Pull a koda kumi! make PV's for all the tracks.

The word AMAZING would be an understatement if she did that. That would be the best anniversary release ever if she pulled a Koda Kumi.

I believe her Paris trip was for recording??
I know she said this 5 months would be filled new lots of new music so Im really hoping it would be new tracks.

honestly i dont mind if the album had new songs and the DVD/Blu-ray had videos from the minis...new music matters more

Which means, she's essentially had two months to prepare for this release.
Actually, probably even more; she's probably already recorded some of them during the LOVE and again recording sessions...
So, it's entirely possible that AHS will avoid another meltdown and we will receive the entire fourteen new. :O

This and that she said Party Queen was meant for a 2CD release...so she must have had leftovers. Wake me up could have been one of them.
and if she did pull a Koda Kumi i'll die

[TeamAyu2004]

^ I'm thinking so too. She doesnt just jet set off on vacation and tell fans...
She is usually working.

Ah! I can't wait for this!
And on my birthday! AHH!! yes yes yes!

[Jawdarna]

Another thought:

If the mini album songs are featured, then this album may chart quite well.
I mean, not every fan would have brought these mini-albums.
And if Ayu does some serious promotion (which she's already started with her live appearances), then people are going to notice that these songs actually are decent.
The fact that she sung SURREAL on Hey!Hey!Hey! would have also caught people's attention considering it's one of her more popular songs...

So, in terms of chart success/popularity, this album could be Ayu's salvation.

[TeamAyu2004]

im telling you.
If the mini album songs are on there. I think that will be the starw that breaks the camel's back for me.
I would official be disappointed in her. lol.
I'm so dramatic.

I was thinking about that too...it could be like avex's last attempt to the public that "YOU JUST GOT TO LISTEN TO THOSE 7 SONGS"...
though im not sure what to be in favour of LOl...i could see her just going off for her new tour in April-May without the promotion again.

just brace ourselves for the worst..coz anything aside would just be SUPERB

She said that? That would explain why I find Party Queen a total mess then...

A ton of artist do put mini album stuff on full album.
BUT ayumi has not, and I wouldnt expect her to do it either.

Ayu hasn't ever released a mini-album without prior singles up until FIVE.
Ayu hasn't ever released a full studio album without prior singles up until Party Queen.
Ayu hasn't ever included instrumentals on an album up until LOVE.

Things change.

Then that's a mini album compilled with the past two lol

[freedreamer]

i wonder if she'll have a digital single for this album. like how hbya was. well then again, if she doesnt, it could also mean that there arnt that many new songs? LOl

[TeamAyu2004]

^ really, the reason why i think they did that was because of the tie-in.
if that wasnt there we might not have gotten it.

its called life.
You are gonna have to get used to it.

things change.
I'm sticking to the mini album formul that HASN"T changed yet. mini album songs have never been on an album.

[Jawdarna]

I wonder if there is something in Ayu's contract in terms of singles?
Perhaps she signed on 50 singles with Avex, and that was it?
Not including digital singles...

Perhaps naming what should be singles 'mini-albums' is her way of getting around it?
If these mini-album songs do appear on the album, I feel like this is probably the most logical explanation.

Lol, that's what I'm trying to tell you "things change"

I'm not saying they will be on there but you cannot safely make the assumption it won't happen solely based on the face that IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

The titles LOVE and again fit together easily, it just seems like it is very likely this is what they had up their sleeves all along.
