Ayu's social networks - Discussion #55

[Irish_Ayu_Fan]

Something new coming on July 4th at Midnight...there’s a flash at the end of Ayu’s insta story that is defo her face but can’t make out what exactly...please please please please a new single

[truehappiness]

It looks like a new shoot. Due to how things have been, could be the perfume trois or something else but... new picture!

[Evan Odinson]

At first I was like "OMG NEW MUSIC" but then I remembered aeternal trois it's supossed to come soon

[truehappiness]

Yeah, new music seems to be the gut reaction but the reality seems more like it'd be something else.

[adrtwb]

i will be so disappointed if it’s the perfume. i just need at least one new damn song.

[Toniayu123]

Man let it be a new single. She looks great but her shots have been looking the same since a while lol I need colors and creativity.
Not that I think it matters, but I commented on Kazuyoshi Shimomura’s publication about Ayu on Instagram saying that what if the new project was a new single, and he Himself liked the comment. Please let it be lol

[Chris_Duvall]

It looks like she’s holding something small in her hand. Pretty sure it’s aeternal trois.

[truehappiness]

Even just a bit of color would be nice. POWER of MUSIC 2018 booklet had that red and a few other colors but otherwise things have been peachy/cream or B&W recently.

Seeing this show up on avex China's Weibo makes me think it is not the perfume, but if not that... then what?

There's some brightened versions and I don't think there's anything in her hand.



The way they edited these shots is similar to her "last" ViVi shoot in 2017.

It’s probably the perfume, not getting my hopes up x_X

I was sO excited when I saw this and came here thinking everyone's hyped about possibly new music but ........yeah, I'd completely forgotten about the perfume

You just ruined everything

[mi|kshake]

I didn't even realise there was another perfume. That photo screams perfume to me!

[jiarongisme]

Plot twist: a surprise album drop a la Beyonce

Doubt it, keeping my hopes low - gonna wait for the perfume announcement. But more than happy to be proven wrong.

[orbitalaspect]

IDK... those ARE the correct dimensions for a new single cover... It seems odd Ayu would choose a perfectly square image when the IG story itself uses the glitch effects on the whole screen space.

Srsly tho, I thought it was the single cover for "Pray" when it flashed. It took a second for me to realize that it wasn't.

[truehappiness]

Yeah, the cut of the image leads people to think it's for a music release along with the somewhat wide range of places mentioning this. (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Weibo)

If it was just a perfume, why choose this one to actually tease when the other two kind of just got announced randomly?

明日6/5の朝☆
お知らせがあります！

楽しみにお待ちくださいっ！

I'm remembering this tweet from a month ago or so when they teased some news and it ended up being CDL's BD/DVD, and that was only on Twitter!

[ayumisrael]

I’m in for new music!
I must admit that I’m from the ones that were like “omg yay new music!” And then was reminded about the perfume
Still hopes it’s music.

XD during the past few months the TA updates were underwhelming and either about videos being uploaded to youtube, concert streams or the perfume so yeah, I’ve given up on the odds of her releasing new music

[truehappiness]

I saw a theory it was maybe gonna be a mini album based on the "Ayu covers one eye = mini album" and it's true for all the minis that her hair covers one eye except again, lol. And on TROUBLE, they just crop half of her face off in the covers used as "official" like CD+DVD versions.

Spoiler:

The picture does fit the bill but it's more of a crackpot theory than anything.

[BlackSilence]

^this is a desperate stretch i'd say xD

Her upper lip looks weird in that pic too...it's too thin...

I'm with you here. I wouldn't hold my breath for it being new music. But i really want her to prove us wrong for thinking it's not
