FYI, Missing has no PV on LOVE, so it's not like she has to rush to finish the song for a PV that isn't being released (yet?).

Judging from her previous releases and the schedule she's been on... she usually works on PVs and even songs sometimes a little before 4 weeks leading up to release. Take FIVE for instance. She did beloved, Why..., ANother song, and BRILLANTE (in that order, I believe including the jacket covers) in between July 2nd and August 2nd.

Sometimes you may think she's working on something coming up -after- release but more often than not, she's just working on what's coming up next. I doubt she's shot the covers yet either since we haven't had any word from Leslie/Ryan other than the fact that we know Ryan may perhaps do the cover.

Ryan:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY！UR GREATEST LOVE HAS MADE ME A BETTER PHOTOGRAPHER & I'LL CONTINUE 2 CAPTURE THE BEAUTY IN U w/ LOVE.
------OMG....

the two are in Paris right now...

I think someone said Ryan is doing it this time around?
we might actually get something good.
We also know that she record on her birthday for hours...

I would like to know more that is going on. -.-

I'm wondering if the 5 releases will be somehow very connected
5 mini album + related themes or related covers?

Last time they announced consecutive releases as a campaign leading up to something it was for her 48th, 49th and 50th singles - none of which were directly related, similar, or drew parallels in any way. So I wouldn't hold your breath.

(I was very disappointed that they weren't...)

^ they were kinda connected that they all ended up on her album... and had somewhat of a similar theme.

^ yeah, but TBH only covers and 3 PVS was connected (kinda). Covers were kinda "similar" (minimalistic, similar booklet etc) and PV's was connected on the album (we had MOON, Virgin Road, crossroad and Sweet Season PV's which wasn't connected in any way when the PV's was realesed on single. Love song and Last angel did the thing on Love songs) So they were diffrent ;)

I actually wanted to say that it's somehow odd that they speed up things, i mean it's not a random picture to take as a hobby or random song you mix over 2 days period...they seem to be doing everything in some kind of rush, maybe that's why some things always lack of bits and pieces, it sometimes doesn't look like finished and proceeded work *shrugs* tho i never reallly got that feeling with her songs, more with her photoshoots and cover artwork, however i do sometimes get that with PVs...:tipsy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY！UR GREATEST LOVE HAS MADE ME A BETTER PHOTOGRAPHER & I'LL CONTINUE 2 CAPTURE THE BEAUTY IN U w/ LOVE.

Oh noooo
this can be interpreted in so many ways :dead

"ur greatest love" - ayu's lover; ayu's love for something; Her greatest album "love"

"ill continue to capture the beauty in u w/love" - AKA he's gonna take dem photos WITH HIS intangible love (do it in a special, loving way); He'll capture Ayu's beauty by USING her album 'love' (although how he will do that i don't want to know).


And many more
you can thank Syntax for all the meanings.

I can see avex releasing 4 mini albums and releasing an album which contains all of the tracks from the mini albums actually.... :{

Lol, but all singles usually end up on her upcoming album. And I don't really see a theme connecting any of the material except the song that were all on the 50th single.

Yes I know... But what I was trying to say was that they all have a theme in love... Lost love, in love, falling in love, betrayal of love... The entire album is themed around love.

How we will celebrate Ayu Day?

I just tweeted ayu to PLEASE release ayu trance 5 sometime soon...wishful thinking. IF ONLY it would be one of these five releases!

I hope not this happen! I want she keep her 5 months project title in one word for the albums title

(Something like this)
LOVE -> VOICE -> DANCE -> PSYCHO -> SELF

or EGG, we have been waiting for this rumor being true for a very long time.

I wasn't talking about this release. we were talking about love songs.

I can't resist to comment and let you know that I'm laughing a lot this morning because of your comment :love

Listen to Ayu all day? ( I love Ayu playdays. : D )

^ blah. That's me like twice a week.. lol

I wish people would just quit making up all those dumb titles. It's annoying.
