Well, we do have a profile view, and sometimes that's all ya need, lol.

[Delicious n Bold]

^ LOLL

But anyway, I think that Ayu's had better tbh
Even Nagase looked nicer.
Anyway, I think Ayu looks smokin' in that pic.~ She's on a hot streak.

[MeltingCORE]

snowy kiss... Doesn't globe have a song called like a snowy kiss? And isn't Ayu a fan of Keiko? Maybe she was inspired? Oh and can't wait to see the covers. I hope they'll be gorgeous.

I prefer one album with all new songs and not mini albums each month with a lot of bad quality remixes and instrumentals.
And after a tracklist that sucks a lot, they call them as "mini album" Sorry but LOVE and again are not mini albums. So please don´t try to get more money with this name!

[TeamAyu2004]

Please, they aren't charging you more for these and are cheaper then her other two minis. Quit the drama.

[ExodusUK]

The instrumentals and remixes are bonus, how many times have people wished Ayu would give us instrumentals and remixes of all the songs on an album? She's doing that but just dragging it out and stretching an albums worth of original material for 6 months across 5 releases. Think of it as a magazine subscription.

wont be a cover right? I think globe and Tetsuya Kumoro...and they match

[Zeke.]

and that song by globe is total junk - yuck! If this supposed 'winter ballad' is that crap I will cry endless tears of disappointment!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

globe also has a song called "Love again" which is ironically how the first two mini albums are named.

But many of Ayu's song titles aren't that creative. They generally use simple words and are often shared by other singers. Song titles in general in Japan are often generic, for instance, "hanabi" is something tons of acts have used as a title haha. Even the title M, one of her most famous and recognized songs, was previously used by the 80's group Princess Princess.

Side note, the first thing I thought of when I read Wake me up was Shimatani Hitomi's song Wake you up.

that globe song is wonderful what are you talking about? if only TK still wrote songs on that level instead of that drivel that was 80% of Love songs (except for crossroads)

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

^ I also think Like a snowy kiss is a great track haha. The instrumentals are really good. Maybe I wouldn't say it's "hit" material, but I still think it was well made. It's peaceful and breezy, if that makes sense (it actually reminds me of summer). Which isn't something people really associate with globe.

[alternarist]

wow.. ayu + caucasian male pair once again.. new target!! just kidding

i am guessing its for sweet scar? i sense some sorrow vibes from the pic.

I loved Love Songs, it totally grew on me. But I am hoping for a GRAND, WINTER-SYNTH BALLAD (those winter noises like in No way to say, momentum, Days) - I don't want something that is just a plain ballad. I don't want something super x'masy.

I finally got to listen to No way to say tonight as the snow fell (light snow floating in the air) - first time this year, and I had tears in my eyes. I love Christmas time so much - I need those cheesy winter j-ballads!!

And I'm sorry but I have never complained about Keiko's voice and I have listened to globe in the past (mostly the trance stuff - I was in love) - but my ears were bleeding after that song quite un-like a snowy kiss... Lol.
