I believe this whole thing only shows how Ayu is already wrong no matter what she does to a part of the fandom.
Some people just made their mind up about her being this lazy, unprofessional, careless has been and it doesn't really matter what she is actually doing. |

^ Not at all, I've been standing by her side as a fan since I became one years ago and praised her work countless times when people complained. This situation is simply very new so it can't be compared to anything from the past and all I do is express my disapproval of such practices. Instead of releasing some really good music and promote it we get well...this.
People talk and will talk, true. But I don't think it's gonna be anything of relevant scale but will remain in the memory of fans and others. Fans in the majority will be happy but at the same time, it's an amazing fuel to those who say how irrelevant she is. I am already imagining some people going "So since she can't sing anymore she will release karaoke tracks". This is a lousy promotion that can cause more harm than good stuff - in my opinion. I think it can be a nice song, one of those summer/album fillers but just serve it properly.

tbh this all looks like a mistake and when they realised it they were ''well let's see where this goes''
but yeah ahs has to do a drama over it rofl If this was followed by something else, like removing something else, a new mysterious instagram or twitter account, something to give the idea of a whole project, I'd like it. But like this it looks like a mistake (being intentional or not it *looks like* a mistake to me), and by that I totally agree with maxikot. Last edited by Gustavopc; 4th July 2018 at 10:04 PM. |

For a track to be accidentally uploaded on streaming services and a playlist it would have to be the a hell of an accident, because it's something that take several steps to happen. They would also have to cut out the final chorus by accident.
You have this person who picks up a music file that isn't named as a finished track, upload it, give it a cover, keep the file's unfinished track name after uploading it and after all that picks the same unnamed file and put it on a playlist that already existed. And even if the person has done all that, they never notice anything unnusual about it. Seens very likely. At least had the track a proper title it would be kinda dubious.

If she does everything the safest way people say she is over because she can't reinvent herself. Like A One. If she does something different, people say she is a try-hard, and so, over. Like Party Queen. If she does what's current and closely follows trends, people say she is desperate, and over. Like Colours. We shouldn't expect her to try pleasing people who will look up for reasons to diss her. Namie is on the top of the world and her haters are still hating. |

I don't think this is "Ayu" being lazy or anything but the way that this sort of this comes across is a little weird. Looking at her discography now there is this weird studio-session title that doesn't fit with things like MOON, blossom, RAINBOW, then this AX_WAT_615 title. The lack of comment is also concerning. Given that 'official' news sources like Oricon or the usual suspects that cover whenever Ayu does anything not counting social media posts haven't really mentioned anything about it, I think this is gonna just get ignored by her and the team till they put out whatever the more final version is.

Ofcourse Ayu has betrayed her fans by accidentally releasing this lazy demo track online. Jeeezuz. lol Just enjoy it. Its not everyday we get demos first before the real thing. And don't mind her haters, they have their own point of view and we have ours.

are we really talking about how it is TITLED??
ITS A DEMO. ITS A DEMO WITH NO LYRICS. IT IS JUST THE UNPOLISHED INSTRUMENTAL. This isn't even an official track/interlude for her discography. An official song is going to be released LATER. Isn't this what a "Teaser" is known for? Why should there be a title when the lyrics arnt even part of it yet? It's there, and placed right after SEASONS for a reason. Because imagine listening through the playlist and this unpolished unfamiliar tune pops up, you are BOUND to listen through it and maybe even a few more times because its so bizarre and sudden. AND THATS THE WHOLE POINT. The final chorus being cut generates even more "omg what..wait...u cant do that...i need completion" feels and thats supposed to be the point. You'd think they "accidentally" uploaded a demo with a beautiful cut part right when the final chorus is cutting in? Yea right. Fair enough that mainstream media aint talking about it. Ayu doesnt seem to be known for her MUSIC anymore. People talk about her, her life, her personality, her divaness (whatever), she is seen more like a celebrity figure than an artiste. But again thats also because she has been so open about her life, lovelife for a while now, instead of actually promoting her music. |

We've had plenty of teasers before, but usually they're snippets of the final track or near-final track with vocals. A recent example is probably the melody of Sayonara being shown off for a short bit, or the "Yes, we are the queens" from a-nation a while ago.
This is not the same kind of thing at all. It looks like some Japanese fans were curious and wondered what it was when it first popped up with the name "Spotify" in their tweet and Spotify support replied after seeing how strange it looked, lol. "Does it display like that for you still? Please let us know your specs!" https://twitter.com/A_world_ayu/stat...72840476442625

Regardless of the release being intentional or not, the whole thing looks extremely sloppy. I do enjoy this instrumental, though, so as a fan I'm very excited for the full song. However, I sure could have waited until they released it in a more... "traditional" way.

Regardless of what the title was, the song still sounds pretty good. The content stands on its own but the delivery is what makes people question it.

Promotional mess or not, let's be factual. Spotify: Currently 3,070 plays (200k monthly listeners); Awa: 5,616, added to favourites by 163 people (out of 76k subscribers). Somebody mentioned it was occupying number 6 in terms of popularity on this platform. Honestly, the only thing it proves then how weak awa is. Also, as somebody else mentioned, barely any media noticed it (1 portal?), only users who subscribe saw that something weird appeared but those numbers clearly show that even they didn't show much interest.
Let me add one thing. I am trying to provide a constructive criticism of the "promo" I don't like. Even if it's an accident or not, neither one of these options forbids anyone from enjoying it. Like I said, I think I would enjoy it if I got a proper release of the song.
