maybe you're right
(i'm just crazy for a "winter(?)" album xD)

Anyway, I'm craving a full-on dance album, getting kinda sick of the meaningful slow ballads by now :/

I hope for some variety and some upbeat and high energy songs. There's plenty of things I hope don't show up, but I don't want to focus on that haha, so they'll go unspoken.

She's coming with suprising releases lately.

If she is working on an entire album for one straight month I hope she can create something cohesive like Love songs. (I will take anything as good too ).

Taking dance classes? Then I'm hoping for more upbeat songs. I'm not really a ballad fan, and I'm getting tired of the slow songs. I want something more colorful and fun from her. I need a song that will get into my head!

No summer upbeat song and no sad winter ballad. Both not being there are imo reasons Love Songs was better than her other albums(amongst a million other reasons), so I really hope she won't give us that winter single in like...January.
I won't hope for anything specific regarding style, genre, mix...I just hope she either does something new or takes something old and makes it better. All the basic *****es do the same **** over and over, Ayu has proven she doesn't.

I have a theory about her albums, that I like the most, cause the numbers of medium and ballads. My favorite is (m)u, why? Cause theres lack of ballad in there, and thats why, only two of em - rainy day and HEAVEN sounds unique and they was well done.

Total new album sounds like a treasure box for me, like this feeling i had when I started to listening to Ayu, everything was new and diffrent

I am affraid of two things - if this album will be TOTALLY new - i am afraid of lack of final polishing the tracks (cause of dates etc) Because of the huge amount of records, some may be little rushed, some may be fillers...

Second thought I am afraid of is... whole FIVE album included to new big album (it's still only 5 tracks, just like her usual single schedule...) But I hope it won't happen, it's kinda surreal (inception much, album on album...)

someone mentioned "winter album" - MY STORY is totally winter album for me, almost every song reminds me of cold winter and warm blankets.
(m)u also reminds me of winter - it was such a perfect christmas gift for me.

I'm actually hoping for something heavy in terms of pop, similar to Ayu trance 4. It feels to me as if she hasn't done a pop album since RAINBOW.

It's probably gonna be "SIX" and it'll come with six collaboration songs (three being with URATA NAYOA).

lol j/k

Interesting, and no single either? Let's hope this album is very, very cohesive than (Love songs was pretty cohesive but you know what I mean after the nightmares of RnRC and NL)

i'm not sure if ayu would release a new album without at least one single (except "FIVE" since that's a mini album, not a studio album ). so maybe there'll be like...one single (double a-side?) and then this new album. but i'm fine either way, really, lol. i'd just like some new music! so this album announcement is great news. i think it could be released by april, at least. that wouldn't be so bad.

I'm kinda shocked about the news... I dun expect she will release an album without singles again.. Does she feel that it's pointless to release single nowadays? Hmmn.. I'm kinda confused about this strategy.

Hmmn I dun have any idea for what the next album will sound like. I will just wait and see what ayu's gonna produce this time .

Please Avex release this album in spring! Since I am buying the expensive blu-ray set. All I am hoping for this album is that it is something fresh like her Love song album.

I'm the odd one out, perhaps, but I'm not really a fan of her pop/dancier music. Whenever I hear that I think of her sugary, cavity-inducing songs that I really can't stand, but she hasn't really had any for a while now: the closest thing is Sweet Season and Thank U (ugh) so I hope that if she's going for upbeat, it's something more like NEXT LEVEL's heavy dance pop. I prefer Ayu's heavier rock-pop and her ballads, as those are typically the ones I truly enjoy.

I wouldn't say no to more songs like Sexy little things, though.

I would

I don't mind sugary stuff, but her voice now just does not suit it. I loved HONEY back in the day. I also loved Beautiful Fighters for a while and I loved ANGEL'S SONG. But Thank U is just terrible and forced. If she were to do dance, I want something like the electronic influence on I am... (I am..., Naturally, Connected) and STEP you / Sparkle / Ladies Night. Those were classics and Ayu owns that style.

Maybe after the collab with Urata she will release something r'n'b. I mean, it's the first thing that comes in my mind when I read she's taking dancing lessons.
Actually I wouldn't mind a r'n'b type of song (without Urata, please) as long as she's try new music genres (for her though).

Anyway I really hope for something upbeat. I love her ballads, but omg they're enough lol. And this album is gonna be a huge surprise for me, because I don't really know which genre it would be. Especially after FIVE D:
