This is so sad, but this is a worldwide problem. People like pick on body 'flaws' and physical appearance basically. And under the mask of 'freedom of speech', it is always more or less acceptable to just say whatever you want on someone elses appearance. If only the people who comment on such things, think before they post: 'what if somebody picked on me, because I gained - lost - have this condition - not feeling my best - whatever', I hope that prevents them from posting.

I am wandering a bit offtopic by this paragraph:
I love instagram, but my looks never hit a mark or whatever and I am not that interesting for insta-famous. In other words; I haven't had the experience of online negative or hate comments (even tho I have endured those for 10 years offline). But I follow mostly girls, and whether they are fit or 'proud to be curvy' it is never enough. You have to be either A or B. I follow a curvy girl, who sings about 'Thick Girls', mukbangs for entertainment and yet hits the gym, or has diets in order to stay healthy and people comment on her staying not true to her 'brand', because apparantly when you work out, you are not a proud curvy girl. A fit girl who I follow is being shamed of fake or plastic surgery.

It is a real shame that people have nothing else but bring others down by commenting on their physical appearance.
Online may be easier than in real life, to have the audicity so tell someone such things. Do these people know no shame? We all want ourselves to stop bullying in offline environments, but when it is ok to tell whoever what you think about his or her physical appearance online, the bullying will never stop.

As for Ayu, she looks great and she sung really well. I don't know what the standard is she has to meet, for me there is none. It is sad that people pick on those things, which should't be an issue. Hopefully she reads the sea of positive comments as well and don't pay attention to the weight comments.
It is ridiculous.

Ok I am done with my essay. I woke up early this morning, so I have rattled maybe too much haha.

It has been decided that the new album “TROUBLE” will be distributed early from August 6th on subscription services such as AWA and Apple Music!!
Please have a listen to ayu’s transcendent music before the August 15th release!
Well... I wonder how this will go.

I think it could be to get a good headline? Like a million+ streams for the album in a week or something.

Because they don't expect her to sell much anyways. Digital sales are a bonus. Ayu's been making more money from touring and that also explains why a 5-track release get's a tour. I am happy we're getting this sooner!

I feel 50/50. I'm happy the music is coming sooner but still wish these AWA releases weren't a thing. If I had pre-ordered this I would be pretty annoyed by this move.

I've pre-ordered the album just an hour before I got the email... not too thrilled about this move, but luckily I ordered the deluxe box set. Still something to look forward too ^^

I feel bad for those that pre-ordered a copy, especially the deluxe set. They spent all that money and then avex/Ayu turns around and says, "yeah we are just going to let everyone else have the new album for free and days before the official release".

Same here! Since it comes with a full concert on a blu ray, it doesn't bother me that much...

The way they phrased it : ...such as Awa and Apple Music», does it mean it can also be available on Spotify and they were just too lazy to name it? lol I’m paying for Spotify and I would be sad if it wasnt available there! Considering the fact that they upload the mysterious demos there that would be surprising.

Same for me. Plus I don't have AWA or Apple Music subscriptions anyway

They should only release the music online one week after the physical release. So for people who are eager will boost up the sales

In the age of streaming and piracy, the album will be bought for those who would buy it anyway.
