New album 'A ONE' out now [VI]

[truehappiness]

Remember.

Back when she was promoting for the LINE LIVE thing she said a letter was missing somewhere in A ONE. I just hoped it wasn't "TA ONE".

[freedreamer]

doubt she will call the mini as L..LOL since..

T sounds weird too...but a one letter title would be cool

Spoiler:

Thank you for posting these, I had given up looking for pics.

The packaging is exactly the same as Party Queen's CD+2DVD, which I don't mind, but I had hoped it would be like the Colours' Box set.

When I look at the cover, the lining up of her hair (I don't know how else to describe it?) makes it look like "AS ONE". I wonder if the placement of her hair is coincidental or completely random.

EDIT: I mean for the CD+DVD cover, which is the one I have.

[Deibel]

I reeeeeally hope the meaning behind A ONE won't be in the next mini album. I don't want them to be connected, like a sequel or something. Bad vibes from the past xD

Still nothing out in the open about Tell All 2015?

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

So not even a word about what tell all sounds like...I'm surprised

[Delicious n Bold]

Shouldn't we find out this week?

[Bigtop]

Yeah, I'm still waiting for the TeamAyu version (yes, I'm a TeamAyu member, but no, I didn't buy it because of my constraints in ordering CDs, from Rina Katahira, to Yanawaraba, and Ayaka)...where is it???

[Aderianu]

I chose SAL, so will get my album after few weeks

[truehappiness]

I chose SAL as well. Should get mine before May, I think.

It looks like the SCawaii interview has some tidbits about the album~ If someone who can translate/read Japanese and give a short summary it'd be much appreciated.

I like how this person work in gloves %)

I found a comment that mentions Yuta Nakano as arranger for Tell All (2015 Mix). Unfortunately I just see people say it's really cool.

[attractive nausea]

With the lack of comments i'm wondering if the changes in the song are just very slight compared to the original one >_>

[JEWELian]

I just got my TA box set of A ONE. It's all a bit crammed in. The design of the CDL artwork is terrible, but the booklet for A ONE is gorgeous.

I can confirm that Yuta Nakano is credited as arranging Tell All.

The Tell All version is very different. It starts off with a piano intro and the first verse is sung over the piano. Strings are introduced, the first chorus doesn't have any guitars- more strings, and a snare drum playing an army beat, and a bell.

The original arrangement is introduced slowly in the second verse and then the second chorus has the guitars (but not as strong) and backing vocals. The rest of the song is pretty much the same, just not as harsh as the original.

I'm not sure how it rates to the original... I love the song as a composition but I think both arrangements fall flat. The programmed guitars and strings make it sound too anime-ish and contrived. It needed a more organic production like a GUILTY-era song. Also, not a fan of the additional echo/reverb on her voice in this version.

would really appreciate if someone would upload it

Tell All (2015 mix) [05:41]
words : Ayumi Hamasaki
music : Yuta Nakano
arrangment : Yuta Nakano

I didn't download the original version yet purchasing all 5 releases to be able to do so. Um... from what I've heard of it, this version has similarities to it (obviously), it isn't as different as some people may be making it out to be. The intro and first verse/bridge/chorus is different, but follows the same 'layout' of sound, just slight differences.
In uploading it for others to hear? I'm tempted, I'll either posted it on my SoundCloud for a limited time or through e-mail. (forgive me if this kind of information can't be discussed)
