You should probably specify what you're talking about.

Are you talking about the Melody PV shown during a LOVE again CM? Because I don't think that's what Delicious thinks you're talking about.

[Delicious n Bold]

oh yes where's the LOVE again CM?
foyuki mentioned it the other day and I'm surprised that it hasn't found its way onto the web or even onto here.

[truehappiness]

I think it was shown in the venue before the concert, I think, so no one could record it.

[TeamAyu2004]

I think we are all talking about different thinks... lol.
im so confused.
I thought DnB was talking about the Melody PV, which I thought Sunslayer said was shown at the concert?

[Delicious n Bold]

i assumed that there was even more shown tbh

[truehappiness]

Nah, I think the previews from LOVE again were played outside, or maybe it was just one song.

Anyway, can't wait for more info!

Preview Audio was played outside in the Goods area.

LOVE again CM was played on the curtains of the stage during the wait time before the concert.

The news is not about Ayu herself, it doesnt say she did the song.

It just says he has composed songs for artists like SMAP and Ayu, but this is the first time for him to compose a song for a horse racing program.

[truehappiness]

Yeah, it doesn't look like it'll be sung by SMAP/Ayu for sure, haha.

[Foyuki]

so maybe - -

I feel sorry for those that were expecting all new tracks and I'm glad I haven't bought the mini albums and can just buy the album but I agree it has been misleading

[truehappiness]

"Misleading" isn't really the right word imo...

However, I think the combination of a quick succession of releases and calling them mini albums didn't help at all, haha.

No doubt I'm a broken record, but what else can you call these past few months other than misleading? This is easily the most egregious era Ayu has ever had.

Two maxi singles are released as ridiculously nominal "mini albums" for the sake of a record or for whatever reason, then two months later an "all new album" just compiles the two as a special gift to the fans, and then You & Me is thrown in for good measure. Not to mention the exorbitant 10 track remix album that had a regurgitated cover, though that's just stupid but not misleading.

I'm not saying the music isn't good or anything like that, but "misleading" is exactly what this whole mess has been.

I agree with Truehappiness, I don't think 'misleading' is the correct word really.
She never said that they wouldn't appear on the album, people just assumed.

'miscommunication' would probably be better I think.
Or (miss)understood, hehe...

[truehappiness]

I prefer to not really care or complain about the situation all that much since we're getting really good new music anyway (and a nice Classical album) so there's not much to complain about in my eyes. I understand the frustration that people who bought LOVE and again have, but at the same time, it's in the past and there's a bit of a goodie at the end (hopefully NOT wallpapers or screensavers... maybe something nicer than that on a website?) for anyone who bought every release. Hope they release details on that soon!

I think A BEST 3 is imminent since it seems as though there is no other release that can happen in the March slot that's also a music disc release. AT12 has to come out at some point, but maybe they'll just be alongside one another? I'm only hoping that people prepare themselves for it so we don't have to see meltdowns for no reason again.

I agree with you.

[Jawdarna]

I hope she releases something other than A BEST 3 to be honest.

Just paying for songs that we've already brought. That's where AT12 would be an incentive to buy it.
