a commercial

its a japanese commercial, or just commercial, but I have only heard japan call their commercials CM's...

kinda like PV... I never heard other countries beside asian refer to their music videos as PV's...

Actually I feel that the last release won't be A BEST 3, because they need more time to promote!

On the other hand, they could release it on the 8th of April, although at the same time I feel that they won't release anything then! I dunno lol

If this year's tour is going to be her biggest ever, I hope it won't be just "LOVE again" themed, that would be so boring imo, she should perform her greatest hits and perhaps her very new Future Classics? That would be a great way to promote A BEST 3 I think.


Sorry LOVE again, but I don't want another HOTEL LOVE again :thud

I just hoping for the tour to be titled something simple... like
Anniversary Best or something.. 15 years of Ayumi.

please, with the way that avex is promoting ayumi right now A Best only needs like, a week. They really are just relying on the name alone... which is sad, because she is still selling well for how long she has been in the business, with little to no promotion. (that we can see).

but apparently there are more billboards then before.

Her career has been a mess since 2011 and these 5 releases aint helping at all... I'm afraid of her 15th anniversary tbh

If she brought back more stuff like Fairyland and fun pop opposed to ballads, she'd do well maybe I think because that always sells.

... or an English A Best 3 album.

Hoping for news today. It should be around 7AM in Japan in five minutes. I'm not sure what time they usually release news, but I'm thinking it may be mid-morning?

EDIT: Exactly one month today from the LOVE again announcement. News should be here today, or tomorrow based upon the announcement pattern.

I find news tends to be around noon Japan time.

I would take Japanese people saying "kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" with a grain of salt. It's sort of our equivalent of saying "oh, cool" and isn't always genuine.

Sort of like if you didn't really like something and just said "Oh, that's cool"......I'm sure some people loved it but some people loved S/S as well lol

If people started to appreciate what they are served, life would be peaceful again.
Everyone want things they can't have & when they do, don't want them anymore.
It seems to me some care more about the sales then about the pleasure of music.
Wanna change it? Work as hard as she is, earn millions, buy millions of her albums then donate if you don't have the place to keep them. Complaints never solved anything until one did something about that, but as far as here is not a problem, what is the solution?
We are not at the point that the sales are as low that she need to end her career so what else matters?

SHE NEEDS TO RECORD ONE SONG IN ENGRISHH for release five! T.T

a CM with pieces of Melody PV so everyone can bash that one too xD pretty much...

Of course, we get new stuff! Adding these previews to the first post. Wonder when the 5th release announcement will be....

Noone wants her to record any engrish. The patriotism she stands for is a symbol which should be maintained.

Can someone rip the previews? Cant play them ;(

There's a link in the first quote!

Here's a MediaFire link for the new track previews.

WOW the previews sound superb!!!

Might be changing my name to task'n'bass shortly lol

-petal is coolbeans; reminds me of Marionette.
-wtf is glasses?
-untitled for her... story 2 is making me cry just from the preview

-SAKURA, Bye-bye darling and Gloria are nice. Nothing amazing, but not bad.

I LOVE glasses. It's just so delicious sounding, haha. Gives me Bridge to the sky vibes, kind of due to the use of an Ayu vocal sample.
