[TeamAyu] Ayu Message 06.10.24 ~about new album

[Misa-chan]

I just hope ayu can finish in time. Lyric writing, arranging, composing, ecording, polishing, re-recording, and whatever else for 7 songs in 1 month is just SO hectic, IMO X_X

[truehappiness]

I have a feeling that the songs just need to be recorded at this point.. :|

[Misa-chan]

But she just changed plans yesterday, I doubt she has like 7 songs put aside just in case she suddenly wants to put out a full album.. I think she'll probably be busy choosing songs or writing lyrics now. Poor ayu, don't overwork and fall sick again

[truehappiness]

Well, I don't think she's so rushed to have to write / choose composers / etc in one month.

I think there's a bunch of songs she's been sort of 'thinking about doing' with certain compositions, but wasn't able to finish them since avex said "Okay, it's a mini album.", but since now it's a full album..

If she does it like you say, then the album will most certainly be delayed. Hopefully that is not the case, and when she's been going out to all these different overseas destinations, she's recorded a little something here and there..

[Misa-chan]

Certainly hope so. I won't want a delay, but if it means a decrease in song quality, then maybe I don't mind it being pushed back a few weeks..

[truehappiness]

I think that she's at least got an idea of what the songs will be like [compositions and lyrics done]~ They probably have to create 7 songs in a month.. x.x That is with recording and full arrangements..

[soybean]

Thanks for the news but do u know why they made this change?
(Of cos Im happy for the change... more AYU songs to enjoy!!!)

[bluegie]

probly teamayu is just making up reasons why the ayu-mini is changed into a full-length album. of course this maybe true, but i gotta hold back for this info for a bit..

[truehappiness]

How is TeamAyu making stuff up when this is the Ayu-blog we're talking about here? Ayu wrote this..

Many thanks for the translations, YaMaYuMi and meerkitty.

Here's my take on it:

I know it's short-notice, but I have a big! announcement for everyone!!!!!
So, as KAZ announced last night, and as the website announced earlier,
The release set to be my second mini-album, announced as "Secret",
Will now go on sale 29 November, as my eighth full album.

This means that even more excellent songs will be born!!
I wanted to make sure to reach eeeeeeach and every one of you kids,
So I've got them rushing around to change things to a 14-track pattern. Nyahaha.
(Of course, on the DVD there will be 7 music videos and their 7 respective making-of videos!
Keep it up, KAZ!)

But the fact is... there are still songs left to be recorded! (Heh heh heh)
It's still in the making, but until the day that "Secret" is complete,
I will be doing my best, all the while picturing everyone's most certainly happy faces
And applauding myself!! (BOOM!)

To everyone on my staff:
We're still in for more all-nighters...

To everyone I love:
I'm sorry that the news has gotten so complicated. But-but hold on just a biiiiit more!

Sounds like ayu was just dissatisfied with releasing only a mini-album, and she changed her mind and wanted to hustle and push out more at the very last minute. I doubt Avex minds, really, but that's a LOT of work. To cut 7 more tracks in 4 weeks, plus physically manufacturing copies of the album... I hope she doesn't get sick!

Needless to say, I think we can expect 2 or 3 interludes.

Recorded! I don't think she thought of this unprepared.. something had to be planned imo..

[spookshow]

so it's gonna be longer than 7 tracks? yay!

poor ayu -- hope she can make the deadline -- it's gonna be hectic!
she's gonna be exhausted by the end of the month

[kiseki89]

O yes! A full album...more songs.
But since the release date remains unchange... then i guess no sleep for them

[*Petit*]

Stuff like these usually turns out miserably or wonderfully. I mean working under pressure.

[truehappiness]

I'd like to think that the majority of Ayu fans believe that it will turn out wonderfully..

I mean, after the two singles of pop-love this year, I think people are going to be happy with just about anything :B

[Qt Mashi]

im so GLAD!!! I LOVE AYU~~~~!

thanks so much for the info!

[Tasked]

She has got alot of really good ideas? As in.. She's going to compose?
