So, spring is green shoots of life, cherry blossom and lion dance

rainy season - melancholy, sound of the rain

summer - sunshine and energy

chapter of nothing - sorrow, anger, prayer
people around the world who abandoned the feelings in order not to hurt anymore

autumn - familiar concrete jungle
Even being pulled back by the speed of everyday world, we stand firmly on our own feet

I'm most looking forward to the autumn portion of the album and tour. She doesn't tackle it enough.

With the pamphlet cover, I imagine this kind of covers.

^they are nice

but I don't want another close-up cover, please ayu don't do this again

^ As long as she doesn't do those lips from sixxxxxx, I'm fine with it, but I'd rather have something different from what we got.

oaristos 6th May 2016 04:58 PM
those pictures are gorgeous, and I wouldn't mind them as the covers for the album even though it'd be really similar to sixxxxxx. hoping for a different font as well, I don't like the glittery things that's going on there.

The photo for FLOWER is stunning. I would love that to be the cover. It's just... so Ayu.

If the real cover is still in monochrome,Then we will have a pack of A3 Consecutive Monochrome Collection:
Sixxxxxx, A BEST 15th anniversary edition and MADE IN JAPAN
**TeamAyu edition will get code to download digitally Winter diary ~A7 classical ~ as its background also in black**

Lol

I really hate that glittery font. It is so tacky.
I pray the real cover won't be like that.

I love this. With these "covers" it seems like Ayu is conveying the message of modesty and restraint to show strength. It is similar to the emotion and power of Mao Asada's Free Skate to Madame Butterfly (which is an opera about a Japanese woman who kills herself). Maybe that is what Ayu wanted to show with "MADE IN JAPAN".

Whatever the case is, I am extremely excited to see where the album will go since the lyrics seem so strong. It's been a while since we had lyrics like this across the board.

That’s what great about Japan.” It’s weird nowadays, right? Things like bashing certain people anonymously online. It’s really weird and it’s getting worse. I think everybody feels this. The abnormality of thinking: “I won’t let someone else be happy!”. That side is also one of the tour’s themes — Like the album I’m working on, the tour is straightforward and frank in various ways. But I think that suits the current me."

I am definitely seeing where she is going with this.

Please, explain yourself, because I have no clue what are you talking about and I am dying of curiosity.
Besides, I thought Madame Butterfly is a western opera. It has Japanese theme, but that was the trend back then.

Here is the performance being talked about, I believe.

Oh allright, makes sense I guess.

yes, and I'm a bit tired of black and white already.

[Chapter of the winter]
Long winter begins. Dead calm city. People disappear to hide themselves from the cold. Sound of heavy snowfall, silver world.

what is she really teasing for the album..hmmm
with all these seasonal diaries

i love the pamphlet cover image though..its fierce. seems like Ayu is trying to now make the closeup her trademark and I like how she is using her lyrics as the main teaser and draw for the album. It's what she is famous for.

Anyone can guess if theres any new songs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-DDCWvf6mo
