ayu is such a Big diva... she doesn't really need promotions that much, let her fans spread the news :D

um okay, if you say so :shrug

I still believe there is a lot more secrecy attached to Ayu than there is to Koda, but it doesn't really matter. We're not gonna get her stuff any sooner anyway.


I wish they still did CMs. Maybe like tourniquet said, she works so at the last minute that they don't have time to produce them anymore?

where are the tv performances ayu!? =((

so the promotion is starting now~~~~ :lech

You know... I think those billboards could have much better typography. It's not that I think the text is ugly (which I do) but it doesn't look like her name is very legible. I know her face is pretty recognizable, but you never know, some people could mistake her for Jaejoong or something. :tired

And yeah, I hate Ayu's team. I've always felt like they have no idea what they're doing. Just like how the "short ver." of PVs being aired and short versions on YouTube are not going to make anyone buy it if they weren't already going to. Short versions just make me more likely to seek out the PV's VOB, and once I've done that, hell, I am NEVER buying the DVD at that point. :(

8 days left before release, and still no PV, TV lives, website layout and CM...
avex and ayu is crazy =="

maybe we can ask on twitter if anything special is coming up for five and see if ayu will give us a hint if anythings planned

progress composed by Yuta Nakano
BRILLANTE composed by Timothy Wellard

wow Timothy Wellard...
so his job is new A Composer?

^ TOTALLY didn't see that coming... o_0 Now I really really want to listen to the song lol!!

It seems that after he joined Ayu's team, he deleted his music MySpace. Boooo~

He's mostly a singer/musician and actor, so I guess this was probably expected, lol.

Since ANother song leaked... it's pretty different for an Ayu song. But I guess it was tailored more for Urata? It feels a bit "AAA"-ish actually.

Unfortunately, this is shaping up to be my least favorite Ayu release ever. :( Unless BRILLANTE is Mirrorcle World-level amazing, there is no way I'm buying this. Saddd day.

It seems like Leslie is collecting FIVE promotion/billboard shots?

ANother song is the worst from all 4 leaked songs...

now I see, 5 songs are not enough, it's too little for a MINI-ALBUM... what the hell she's thinking about!!! I'm confused and a bit angry :confused

so far this "album" sounds (i dont have any pv to compare...) like a average Ayu single with progress on top, and some b-sides. I still have hopes for Brillante.

ANother song is so bland, lol. Her vocals sounds pretty though, but it more sounds like Urata song, not Ayu's.

Do you have this feeling like this songs are just for japanese fans? I have feelings that they LOVE songs like that. Easy to listen while eating a dinner or sth... They like simple medium/or ballads songs too much... And I am not trying to ofend Ayu, no! She reallly~~~ suprised me with Love songs album tracks (Love song, November, Like a doll <3) That's why it's kinda sad to me, she can do so much sometimes.. Dunno, I dont want to sound like a moaning cow....

Not expected but i really like ANother song! better than i thought! sound like a song Kana chan 'd sing!

so this mini-album is only consisted of ballads and mid-tempos except BRILLANTE i guess....

and i guess i like ANother song more than Why (talkin about the featured songs..)

agreed...

and talkin bout all of songs... excludin BRILLANTE (didnt hear it yet..).. I kinda dont see nothing amazing in this mini-album, all songs are ok, they're good, but not masterpieces...
