2012 Album Annoucement

Ayu has announced on TA that she is currently in the UK recording for a new album to be released sometime in 2012. She is also already filming PVs, doing photoshoots, and attending dance classes.

I'M hoping for a few AMAZING upbeat tracks with hot dance PVS (Real me/INSPIRE-esque).

What's weird though, is that there are no singles to promote the album. Will she release a physical single before the album? Maybe a digital single shortly before the album?

This isn't a new tactic for artists in the US, but certainly not one used on artists in Japan, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Let's talk about ayu's new album!!

If you want to talk about it I think this should be in Chat-room. Really, she's written in TA that she's recording album for the next year but as for me that's too vague to create a thread in Music News yet.
She didn't say that there won't be any singles. She may have 2-3 singles and still be in time to release new album sometime next year

^^The fact that she's already filming PVs means that the release can't be TOO far off though. At least, that's what seems logical. Usually she leaves PV filming for the very last minute.

Why would she even do that?

lol, atm I guess that she has nothing to fill that album except for previous used songs. I'd rather saw a new single, as everyone is releasing now...

I hope that she'll release songs like Mirrorcle World / progress / Rule instead of the usual boring ballads.

she is probably doing that for a single. single in January, then March and album may be released in late April. She's just doing something, but we don't have any official information yet, except that she's busy with production of new songs

Is she gonna do some sexy dance PVs for her next album? I'd like to see something like Sparkle again. That was so cool

Anyhoo, I'm happy for the new album. I hope it's completely different compared to FIVE (which is a awesome mini album, I agree but I still want something different).

^^exactly. to me, it doesn't seem like ayu to record for a release that's so far off. March would be nice. But I wouldn't mind if it happened late January or sometime in February with only a digital single, or no singles at all.

I hope its not going to be anything like Five or RnR circus and more like Love Songs, but I have the impression that there are alot of left over songs from other sessions that will be used for this album. That is what RnR circus felt like to me, a mismatched mashup. I don't want that!

^^I wouldn't mind something similar to RnRC. It was amazing!

Also, I hope it's not too soon after the A CLIPS blu ray limited. I need time to recover LOL

I dont really get all the hate for RnRC either. It's just like a bunch of other albums I guess the songs aren't that great...but they're not that much worse than a lot of her more recent music Guess that's just my pov.

Anyways...idk really what I want from her. I think she does a good job with concept albums like Love Songs, but I personally prefer varied albums. I wish she'd do some more dream pop electro kinda stuff, but I know she's more of a rocker chick.


I'm wondering mostly at release dates

Leslie Kee should keep taking pics, he hasn't really made an amazing PV that I can think of.

Also...not everyone reads the twitter threads or her schedule thread to know that she announced this. and it IS music news, so...

I hope she does stuff that's produced and mixed well. FIVE, R'n'RC, and NEXT LEVEL were not so good in that department.

I'm really hoping she ditches the ballads and collaborations though. She's had more than enough in the past two years to last her a lifetime. >_>

Hopefully, she just takes her time and makes sure that things are nice and polished and well rounded and make sense.

I agree. And arranged a little more creatively.


I was happy the other day when I saw yuta wasn't there lol but who knows, she might just be having cmjk mix the whole album...and he might be there now, idk.

I hope she's got a few people doing it though, so we get some diversity in...
