agreed. i actually almost started a thread about the album, since it IS news.

as for the album, i'm REALLY excited to see what an Ayu album turns out like when she creates it all at once. it always seems like she releases her singles and then she decides what overall sound she wants the album to have, so sometimes the singles don't really fit the feel of the album. think about NEXT LEVEL, it was so electronic in comparison to her other albums, but then songs like Days and Green kind of didn't fit. i'm really curious to see what creative direction she will go with this!!!!

also, i wanted to point out that we know at least one PV must have dancing in it, since she is there with Paulette Minott. Paulette has worked with the Sugababes a lot, as well as Victoria Beckham and Mariah Carey. it could be dance routines for CDL, but i'm about 99% sure its gotta be for one of the upcoming PVs.

Maybe it's just a new album of re-worked classics from POWER of MUSIC? But I guess they could just re-arrange the songs and use the old vocals if they wanted to release such an album. I hope it's a brand new album but this is just so odd, lol.

^^It is odd, but so exciting!

At first I wasn't feeling the idea of an album without singles, but now I'm hoping for it!

I agree with that ohsixthirty said.

i think if it were something like that she wouldn't have said "new album" the way she did. i really think its just a straight up 100% new album!

As far as I know, all of ayu's albums were at least nice, polished and well rounded. And they most certainly all made sense.

Anyway... I think that she has "announced" this a little bit too soon, now I'm getting impatient.

Great to see a official announcement of a new album.
But that doesn't mean there won't be a single before it, physical or digital.
I guess it will be released around March/April and another tour after. Could be coming sooner as well or also later with a tour starting in summer and ending in November or something like that. Pretty much everything is possible here, lol.

Hoping for both amazing upbeat songs like INSPIRE, Real me, Last angel, and Sparkle.

Also heartfelt ballads (but not as many!) like HANABI and Dearest.

I will not create assumptions or predictions, nor hopes and wishes. I will take the album as it is when the time comes to avoid as much disappointment as possible. Looking forward to this but I will try to tuck it far away in the depths of my mind so I won't go mad with anticipation.

^^probably a good idea.

I don't mind making wishlists for the releases, but speculation is just annoying. lol

well...if we think about Love songs, Ayu was in LA recording and filming PVs for that through November 2010 and then the album was released on December 22. since she is starting this album almost from scratch, i don't think the turn around will be quite that fast, but I kind of think we might get the album in late January or February...or maybe in March. for some reason I feel like it will be released in March though.

I wonder how will this album sound. When she announced FIVE, I was expecting something lighter, reflecting her happiness with her marriage [even though she was not by Mannie's side...], and maybe also giving good energies for those who suffered from the tsunamis. But only beloved fits this atmosphere imo. I guess that this album will be like MY STORY, which feels pretty balanced to me.

Both R'n'R and Love songs were compared to MY STORY before release. I wish people would stop speculating similarities to MY STORY because that is my favorite album and when the possibility of something similar is thrown out there into the universe and into our minds, I have to try ever so desperately to push that idea out of my head or be prepared to suffer ultimate disappointment when the album is finally reaching my eardrums.

I'm just comparing the album atmosphere, not the songs themselves So, Love songs was also ballanced to me, so let's use it as an example then

You are right in that aspect. Both albums were cohesive and flowed together well and felt more story-like.

Oh, and I guess there is also the possibility that this could be another mini-album seeing as the mini basically made them near as much money as a full album would have made/sold.

I always thought MY STORY was a mess with vast differences in quality between songs.
