LOL at the discussion about japan n world population.
What those have to do with ayu's twitter thread?
And bout ayu doesn't/does want baby or not. LOLS. It's totally up to her decision!

Anyway, didn't ayu say there'll bee CDL announcement on TA at 8 AM? But I couldn't find one this morning. Or it's at night 8PM JST?

should be 6PM JST

Cool!! I can't wait for the new album!

NO COLLABORATIONS PLEASE!

it is also possibly that FIVE will be included in the new album..

^oh no, I totally forgot about that fact.

It just happened too when MAA put some old songs on her new album from the mini album.

Gross. Excitement is half gone lol

whats MAA by the way>?

I would be fine if progress and BRILLANTE were on the new album... but I'd rather they weren't.

But still, an entirely new album so soon, I wonder what Ayu's strategy is...

That possibility horrifies me.

MAA is an artist~~ she had singles though for her album...but still.


Now I feel fairly certain FIVE songs will be on it for some reason lol

I really hope not though...oh well.

No, I think you remember wrong. None of the tracks in MY STORY is also put in Memorial address.

edit. Sorry I may misunderstand you. But still ayu didn't do that last time.

after releasing FIVE on Blu-ray I am fairly certain they've milked it as much as they could have.

Oh yes. :puke

Ayu doesn't seem like the type to do that... FIVE was a standalone album after all and shouldn't be included on a future album unless it's a best or something.

Another possibility is...
New compilation album titled "A BEST 3" with 2 new songs, just like "A BEST 2" with one new song, part of Me.

I believe Ayu sees FIVE as a completed release..otherwise she wouldnt have released it. the message in FIVE as very clear on its own.
so..i think she wont do it.

inserting the FIVE songs into the new album? now why would she do something silly like that?.....let's hope that wouldnt happen~~

c'mon Ayu isn't that cheap yeah :laugh

You can read the full entry on misa's site. Can't wait for the new album, pvs and more leslie photoshoots this time in London! Ayu seems to be really enjoying her stay.

Also maybe a digital single before the album?

Wowww....

A new album without a single?

Can't wait for the new Album also some people will not complain about ayu's new album only contain 5-6 new song again...
xoxoxoxo

An album full of new songs o.o?" kinda impossible without singles.
Unless it's a compilation or a cover album.

Maybe she'll just forever have 50 singles lol.

If she does release digital singles, I hope iTunes USA gets them in their store. Yay for new album! Hope she is enjoying herself in London.

Wasn't mentioned in this thread, but Ayu's taking dance lessons at Pineapple, a famous dance studio.

http://www.pineapple.uk.com/about_us/default.aspx

Pleeeease, Ayu, no FIVE on the next album. :puke

An album full of all new songs would be AMAZINGGG. :luv2 Hopefully they'll all be mixed and produced as well as most of the Love songs tracks were, and not reflect FIVE's quality in that respect.

lol why are people throwing things around like "strategy" and assuming FIVE will be included? Last year she released two full albums in the same year. FIVE was a mini album, and nothing too taxing. Her releasing a full album in the new year isn't that big of a deal D: Unless I'm misunderstanding what some of you duckies are saying. Either way, it's obvious that Ayu likes to work because it involves music, and since music is her life... The more music she makes, the happier she will be and same goes with me.

I think it's pretty cool if she doesn't include any singles to promote it. That's pretty ballsy. Plus it's kind of like how western artists do it: singles aren't released until after the album, and very rarely in physical CD format. Even so, she still has time to release something in a digital format like she did with Together When... right before GUILTY's release.

JFKLSJFKLD I'M SO EXCITED

maybe in a-best3 next year ?

but avex could be that cheap since the BD version of Five had released

Well, Maki included songs from her mini albums on her full album, I wouldn't be surprised if ayu also do it. But I'm not hoping for it, it would be kind of a waste imo.

Hmmmm, most of "Love songs" tracks were indeed awesome, except of "Aria, blossom and Sweet Season".

If the upcoming album turns out to be as high quality as most of the "Love songs" tracks are, it could certainly be a wonderful release.

Oh, and I gladly mention it once again: NO - MORE - COLLABORATIONS. WITH - NO-ONE! P-L-E-A-S-E!

new album??I wonder when it'll be released because she was recording PV's,shooting and recording songs the last few days...maybe january???*please,winter songs!!!*

Maybe the new PV will have ayu's fantastic dance... :love:love:love

Even if she specifically said she's recording an album, that doesn't mean there couldn't still be singles, right? I think it's great that she's already recording an album as a whole so in case there will be singles they won't likely be out of place with the album tracks or concept (like Days/GREEN on NL).

I seriously doubt she'd include any FIVE songs on the new album also, just doesn't feel like something she'd do. (I believe she has a say in that even if though it's Avex)

an album without singles is like the international albums...
first ayu international album = international tour
just dreaming xD i really hope NO

new album!! yaay!

I only hope it won't have ''rushed'' feeling.

Don't know why but knows that there will not be any previous singles for this release.. kinda shock me :laugh. Maybe I should consider FIVE as a maxi-single lol, so it wouldn't sound that odd to me.

BUT I'm really excited and happy as well by this news :luv2. I'm really looking forward more info about it.

I hope she can release an electronic album similar to NL but with more weird songs like sexy little things~ / ladies night / alterna...

Someone needs to tweet her not to include FIVE in it... Cuz I hv a feeling that they will...

Anyway looking forward to it~

that's really nice info ... new album in very different way (without single) ... it makes me even more curious about this release ... :D

She won't release a single 'cos there is not a time when they could secure her number one streak this year. She has to release something and to keep the streak of number ones so they decided to come up with an album. And the single will be happening when they will manage to find a secure date.

OMG me too!! :thud

I want Sparkle 2 so much :love

OMG a hot new album with no prior singles (AND NO TRACKS FROM FIVE) with upbeat Real me/INSPIRE-esque songs with hot dance PVS would be AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG

^yea i agree. I just need ONE song to be like that and I'm pleased.
Hopefully every song in the album will sound different...i totally want (m)u II :P

I made a thread in the music news section about the new album, so we can take the talk over there. :)

I was hoping for a winter-Ballad. (^_^)'' Hope, there will be one on the new Album.
I don't think, she will put any song from Five on the new alsbum. What for? She also didn't do it with the songs from Memorial Adress.
And I also said.. please no collabs with anyone.

Yes, please. It's soooo much cheaper to buy it from iTunes! I remember how excited I was when they put ayu-mi-x 7 on iTunes, but then, when FIVE came out, there was nothing :(

I eagerly watch Ayu's twitter for more recording news. However iTunes USA seems to have gotten rid of Ayu's music :(

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

It was just there a week or two ago! I can't believe its ALL gone! All her songs and videos are all gone from iTunes USA. :dead2

I wonder why?

The funny thing is that I still had albums like RAINBOW coming up until about 20 minutes ago. They better put her ENTIRE discography and pvs back on there soon. Someone else in the US do check their itunes store to make sure it's not just my connection being stupid.

Ayu said she would be working late this particular day so I wish her good luck in the whole recording process.

Yeah...it seems all of avex's artists are gone...again (this happened a couple of years ago. Luckily, they were put back up then. Hopefully they'll be put back up again this time too). No Namie, none of BoA's Japanese stuff, like one Kuu song, and no Ayu :( I wonder what happened?

is there some sort of contract or something that expires and has to be renewed???

They'll probably be back. I don't see why not anyway~

EDIT: Oh wait, iTunes Match started up today which may be the reason why avex stuff randomly disappeared.

this is seriously pathetic lol. but well, at least we get a full album out of their insecurity. :D

Avex stuff has been taken off again?

iTunes Match?

EDIT: nevermind, I looked it up. Sorry for going off topic.

I'm sorry if my Itunes comment took this twitter thread off topic a bit. As for Ayu's twitter, I need to sign up for twitter soon so I can follow her and maybe send her a fan message :D

They dont like Asian artists getting higher than there Western artists :D lol

I guess you guys forgot that she could be recording an entire album, and release the singles individually before releasing the album sometime next year?...

does anyone know who "Mrs. Brown" is?

who knows but ayu's hair is so pretty

Ayu is just so cute...

Mannie's Grandma? O_o

someone said she was ayu's stylist =)

Seems like she's the head of a boutique in London?

http://www.brownsfashion.com/home/

Her name is Joan Burstein.

Ayu is so cute !! I think she's going back with her GUILTY era hairstyle ! Yay!

bingo !

thank you so much

Love Ayu new hair style! she looks so cute!

Probably one of my favorite hairstyles ever. So great on her.

yeah~~ I'm amazed at how versatile it is. So many different looks she's achieved with it.

I so have to go to that boutique now lol

she looks so young when with shot hair *--*

omg she looks so young and cute and so 2002. i want more of her in that hairstyle!

she's so cute omg!! :thud

makes me want to cut my hair like this!

wedding ring on!

she's so adorable =))
looking so young <3

Her hairstyle is so cute! And I see the wedding ring too! I want that coat Ayu is wearing.

Oh yes.. that Hairstyle looks so much better than befor. I really wasn't a fan of the style befor. Now.. it really looks like in 2007.

She problably want to stop some nasty rumors about the fail of her marriage! But it's true that they didn't see each other for quite a while!
Anyway, she is really pretty on that pic!

^ if they don't tweet each other and post the pics of themselves it doesn't mean they have problems or whatever. we never know.

honestly I'm really glad to see this ring on her finger :love

i had this feeling that ayu will release English language album hmmm

you got be kidding !

ring! I didn't notice, thanks guys xD

Ha! I like this hairstyle MUCH better than the previous one. Phew~

;)

about to go have coffee with ayu. post pics later!

Oh NOT again...what's going on?????

I think after 20 hours of no sleep, Ayu should not be let near her computer :/ haha

Agree :yes

Agreed too :yes

LOL poor Ayu she's not beloved by technologies

this happens so often lol :( poor ayu

crap =x i hope her staff can recover something... '-'

I think we should buy USB stick to ayu : D like for real. Some nice looking ones don't even cost that much. How much space she would need to store lyrics? And some fan
could give it to her in London~

Damn it. Well if it is "data" and not just "lyrics" and took her that long to make... It could be something regarding CREA that she lost! :(

Either way, it's something we might never get back.

Ayu needs to learn to use the 'safe' button more often XD

But yeah, 20hours of work sounds more like she was composing instead of just writing lyrics..

Maybe it's just me, but isn't deleting date now more difficult than just hitting "delete"?

I mean in order to delete something wouldn't you have to manually drag it to the trash and then manually delete what's in the trash? lol

^maybe she deleted it from iPhone? or erazed text from file and pressed "save"...
there are many ways to kill the file )

Delete delete delete do it again. I can't help but laugh lol I hope it were "only" lyrics and not CREA compositions like others said, it would be so so sad :(

I hope it's not a CREA creation!!! T_T

Oh poor ayu!
I guess she should just stop writing lyrics on her iPad:laugh It's hard to write and work properly with that.

How does she keep doing this? Seriously...

LOL Sometimes I got a feeling that Ayu is purposely tweeted that. I think it's not happening to her. Maybe she just wanted to make a gimmick :P But we can't really sure. That's just my guess because it happens so often to her :shrug
