I'd imagine Bye-bye darling probably has a closer relation to snowy kiss which could be rather exciting if they have similar 'sounds'.

HA! I knew it would be like this :laugh

I agree with sugarbasil, though. avex is to blame in all this, but I'm very sorry that ayu doesn't seem like putting her foot down. This 15th Anniversary thing sounded fishy ever since the announcement for LOVE was out.

I think with her 15th anniversary coming she needs to think the f--- out of everything if she even wants another Anniversary coming (and I hope that's what she wants or so help me God).

Now,

The album covers are really cute, all three of them. They all look familiar most probably because they remind me of Love songs (which I think was her intentions, hence "LOVE again"). Putting it this way, it kind of makes sense that LOVE and again were mini albums, because the full album -at least title-wise- is kind of the both of the minis combined (although we also get some new materials, thankfully).

I hope she wakes up soon and smells the coffee.

EDIT

Oh, and I don't mind having Wake me up and Song 4 u next to each other. I just had hoped that Song 4 u would be the opening track because it just has the vibe :(

I am fed up with him = =

Seriously? That's the title? Gosh...
This surely gonna be another love songs-ish album, the cover speak. Wish SAKURA has an instrument or music like Will, at least one of those new songs has an instrument like Will or GREEN. Anyway...I like the cd version.

really? the covers are like the best thing going for it right now...

All the covers are pretty, I am glad.
The Blu-Ray vers. Kind of reminds me of the HEAVEN single cover. :D

I've been on this site for almost 7 years now, I've resigned to the fact that a sect of Ayu fans are pretty much just babies that cry about everything she ever does. :laugh

He is a saviour, God bless him.

:innocent coz u didn't believe me before lol

I never said I didnt believe you...
I was asking if it was real...
and then I saw the track listing and that it was a horrible joke.. and then...
nothing happened...
lol

:D Without hopes there will be no expectation
since there's 2 singles release for the 3 PV consecutive story
the songs , album titles ,tracks will include these for sure :innocent

I am actually really curious. I mean, there are some very unusual song titles here.

I still can't get over untitled for her having a (presumed) sequel. :O

I wonder if Ayu gets drunk

This pretty much. With Ayu's supposed "swing" in the company, she has the power to flight back against redundancy like she did with A BEST.

If the minis were labelled as singles and were single prices there would be NO problem aside from a few complaints about the title being a mishmash of the single names and the solitary "new" PV.

That is my biggest issue here. The promise of a "new album" using mini album tracks when it wasn't expected. Avex seriously stuffed up the naming here by linking LOVE and again to FIVE and MA which didn't recycle the whole tracklist on the next album.

Quit with the pointy fingers and "loling" at people being rightfully frustrated and annoyed at this release. It's spiteful and like it or not, the "fools" you're laughing at are the ones who carried Ayu to this point in her career. These people are effectively being punished for (literally) buying into the mini album concept on the assumption that this was the only way to get these tracks.

It seriously stinks. The single streak is already long gone. If they called LOVE and again singles the streak would be unaffected. No singles in 2011 lost the title for her =\

yes of course, because her other mini's also included the titles from those in the newest album release..
Memorial address - My Story
FIVE - Party Queen
oh... wait a minute....

also... ayumi has put remix tracks on mini's before, so this is not new.
the only thing that was new was the instrumentals.

How do you feel about "LOVE again"?

a) I will start WW3
b) Ayu killed my puppy
c) The Mayas were right, end of the world!
d) My life is meaningless now

extra option: e) All of the above

beloved (Orchestra version) [bonus track]
it's only a bonus track and Why... feat. URATA NAOYA is a hidden track
u can consider You & Me as a Bonus Track looool

Nicely said!! hope is true :no

LOL! i like option 'C' cause I started buying the Japanese version since A Summer Best, faints~~:thud

think these two posts sums up the situation well.
yea im coming to terms with it after a night's sleep.
but now i realize how weird the tracklisting is...the first 2 tracks really dun go together. Melody feels like an album ender..
and I guess You & Me is really a bonus track because of its position.

I personally think glasses is the other interlude.

they better promote this album at the very least...honestly...at least give the songs the final due respect if they are gonna just put them all back together..
