Tetsuya Komuro can take several seats, but luckily D.A.I. and this unkown UK producer will hopefully make up for Tetsuya's basic ballads. I'm excited! Bring on the covers!

I'm really hoping that the UK person is Timmy... we didnt get enough of him (we good him) on party queen and he wasn't even there for You and Me and LOVE :*(

Well, since the first one is UK composer I hope it will be dark rock song like Microphone, since she said in the making of that when she making song in UK it will be a bit darker. (Even the composer of Microphone is Yuta Nakano, but I really would love to see it turn out like Microphone)

I hope so... I though they were going to put Melody PV on again, but they're still holding it back :| And that would make a boxset with all releases not that pointless, but it would drive those who bought them separately crazy :laugh And that's pretty much why I'm not getting them until April :P

Me too *hides from haters* He did well with Party Queen and BRILLANTE imo. By the way, I hate that she never had any other jazz-like track, and it seems that wont happen again :grumpy

But she said so for writing songs in UK, and so far all we know is that the composer is from UK =\ But I do hope so as well, I can sort of imagine something like "Bring Me To Life" with a title like this.

I imagine it's probably Timmy or they just bought another song like Tell me why ^_^

I felt like the jazz was the weak stuff..
I want more HBYR, BRILLANT, NaNaNa (or was it shake it or party queen?) which ever one he did.

WOWOWOW

All of the titles are not ayu-style. LOL.

Again, it sounds like a maxi single.

Ivysaur <3

People blame Timmy because they can't own up to the fact that maybe Ayu screws up sometimes. It's easier to hate and put all the blame on the silly gaijin.

^ what are you talking about?
He composed the jazz tracks.

can`t wait!

DAI?!?!
MY BODY IS ****ING READY!

BRING IT ON! TK DON'T DISSAPOINT ME!

^ Somehow I thought of you when i saw DAI.. lol, this is what you were waiting for!

I hope they show the covers this week too ^___^

The UK composer isn't Timmy~ he replied me on twitter :) Wonder who is this new composer...

^WHAT! What is that lazy butt doing then! lol =)
I wonder who it is... someone completely new? that would be cool...
its the rock track right??

A part of me wants it to be one of those UK djs that are popular right now... a hot dance track would be amazing for this release.

I love the tracklist. Can't wait for the cover. But now I wonder what is the connection between 'again' and the tracklist.
1. Wake me up...again
2. Sweet scar...again
3. snowy kiss...again
4. Ivy...again.

:glomped

Lol I was waiting for this moment :P
I'm so excited to see what DAI has in store!

DAI ???? yeah~ DAI always make nice arrangement for ayu!
T.K. again ??? hmmm~

and.. do it again :P

:laugh

is it oldist medicine product? :irked

I'm pretty interested about this!~

titles look nice~ I'm quite sure Wake me up will be that most uplifting track in this~ snowy kiss sounds cute <3

YES would be Epic!

Love those titles! And a BIG YES for DAI! :heart

I've had Bring Me To Life stuck in my head all morning and I'm extremely amused that I just came on here to see that one of her new song's is "Wake me up"

Also, YAY for DAI and Tetsuya Komuro <3 They're both my favorite composers that she's worked with

^lol @ the BMTL part xD
sounds interesting....lets see where it goes, cuz with Ayu it can turn very very to the rigt when it goes to the left, a twist to the worse side :laugh

I like this tracklist more than LOVE's one!! *___* can't wait!!

so the huge tie-up is the health product for the elderly? =.="

Lol how many DAI compositions is she gonna pull outta the vault? If they weren't good enough to use the first time around, they're probably still not good enough. BALLAD and Return Road were both stinkers by DAI standards.

Interested in "Wake me up" and the new UK composer. The titles this time around sound fanmade.

^^ drop the elderly and you got it right.

YESSSSSS Piano ver. of Melody! <3
And this one seems to be REALLY good, I hope it's on the same level as LOVE. I love all of the titles, especially Sweet scar and Ivy. I hope Ivy is something like Liar.

Return Road yes but I have grown to appreciate BALLAD as an absolutely stunning track.

Excited for this release, especially snowy kiss! Love me some GRAND WINTER BALLADS!

The titles are ok, but I miss the days when her titles were simple. Now she's trying to be too descriptive. Also, she re-uses words a lot (Sweet Season / Sweet Scar / Scar / SEASONS; Do it again / again; Why... / Tell me why)

What about softbank CM? Or it will be without ayus song...

DAI and Tetsuya Komuro? YES YES YES

If they bought a demo like Tell me why I hope it's a very unique track, Tell me why felt a little out of place in after Return Road for me... I'd love if it is from Ian Curnow, the guy who did Kuu's Lollipop :lech

He composed BRILLANTE, how beautiful you are, the jazz ones and Party queen, in NaNaNa he was just featured in the vocals :)

Really excited here! I love the titles.

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

I'm loving the tracklist!!!

If Sweet scar is ANYTHING like SCAR, I will be a very happy ayu fan!

Sounds good. Snowy kiss sounds like a winter ballad. (^_^)'''
4 new songs.... can't wait to listen to them.

omg sweet scar
YES PLEASE
AND JFDSKLAFDS THE ORCHESTRA VERSION IS ALREADY THE BEST THING I'VE HEARD IDGAF IF IT ISN'T OUT YET

What interesting song titles! Love it. :heart

Interesting song titles. I'm looking forward to this! (:

OMG I LOVE these titles I CANNOT wait!

omg the tracklist seems so awesome!!!! XD I FREAKING WANT IT!!

I don't care what Ayumi says about this releases. Mini albums don't have remixes and instrumentals. These are single releases. Mini albums are like FIVE and Memorial Address. These are in the same format as her previous singles a few years ago. We all know it.

The track list seems intriguing. I like the titles, but this is not a mini-album...

How exciting! I really like the title Ivy, and I'm loving that it has so many remixes/acoustic versions.

oh, loving the titles!! and YES Missing orchestra ver... :heart

Yes, DAI!!!!

Also, excited to hear the work of the new composer from UK.

Really excited ! =D

I knew that it will happen monday, that we get info finally. This time, the titles are seems creative for me, not so typical ayu.. I cant wait for rock track*.*

These song titles do sound interesting to me and Tetsuya Komuro is always a good choice.

Tracklisting sounds great - so excited (and I haven't even got Love yet!)

mi|kshake~

All we need are covers~

If snowy kiss looks like Like a snowy Kiss of globe (composed by TK) I'll be happy ! love this song ^^ of course it's not because title is almost the same that the song will too lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn2g10jgotI

^I also thought of this song! Love it too! :heart

:yes

lol I wish I liked BALLAD as much as some of you do.

tbh, I don't even remember the song cause I haven't listened to it since...uh that year it came out.

Snowy Kiss seems like a title BoA would have for her christmas songs~

I really hope these songs come out well. I do like the titles.

I 2nd that! And they better be amazing! But if Ryan Chan is doing them I shouldn't have a problem!

^ Ryan is the guy who did LOVE's covers, right?

I'm ready, i'm ready !!!!
The titles are good, and the composers made masterpieces in the past, i can't wait !!!

Yep!

I'm not really excited with TK...sometime his song can be very old sounding

OMGGG

excited for Snowy kiss and Ivy :)

Are you wake up? Wake me up~
#giggle

***

Are you wake up? ---> interlude [track 13] from '(miss) understood' album :)

Kazutaka Nakamura did the shots apparently. Perhaps Ryan did offshots for the Numero shoot?

my body is ready, my wallet isn't

The Missing orchestra version should make my life complete if everything goes right

Nobody's wallet is ready.

Yay DAI is back again!! So far i like all the songs that DAI composed. I am really curious on which songs is the rock song. Can't wait to hear the songs!

TK, DAI, no Timmy, Orchestral Missing....YES!!! The song titles seem a bit strange though but who cares if the songs are awesome.

Come on now, I agree that his Ballads can sometimes be boring but he also wrote Love song, Last Angel and Sending Mail; awesome non-ballads! Hoping for something equally amazing!

wow this tracklist looks like x3 time more exiting than LOVE tracklist. At least to me for some reason. To be honest, I'm more interested in previews than in covers.

What makes Missing so great is the arrangement. An Orchestra version will suck all the life right out of that thing... :shrug

CREA (ayu) had longitime not made ​​arrangement

WHOA HOLY CRAP FOUR ORIGINAL SONGS OH GOD

AAHHHHH!!!!!! I can't wait now >~<

WOWOWO

sounds VERY promising

and beat everyone's expectation here?!?!?!?!?! :O :O :O

there're all kinds of music for everybody

wake me up before you go go

Rock Ayu. Only.

Super excited for this release! :luv2

snowy kiss. I still lol at this title.

I love the song titles this time~!! Now looking forward to the covers and pvs!!

SNOW KISS !!!!

Looking forward to this as usual :)

I guess the 3rd mini album will be full of Timmy's masterpieces.
OMG!!!!!!



ayu....



NO MORE Tetsuya,OK?

You know Ayu is fan of Tetsuya Komuro since she is teenager so I think when she listen his music compositions she feels nostalgic ^^

I thought it was reported that Ryan did the covers?

I love all of the songs TK did for Love songs so I am all for more compositions!

DAI is composing a track? asdfghjkl;

You know, when I read "Wake me up" all I think of is the song Wake me up, before you go go U_____U;;


I like the titles though, they are different.

I think "Sweet scar" could be an emotional scar from break-up ?

There are so many reasons to look forward to about this album!!!
Can not wait!!

I just thought of Don't wake me up by Chris Brown haha

^ I though of Bring Me To Life by Evanescence cause of its chorus :P

If its anything like that ill pee myself, lol.

I was hoping for an orchestral mix of 'progress'. Ayu is a sad queen now so looking forward to some more ballads.

^ I thought she was partying alone...

Haven't heard that name in a while. She's been using Leslie and Ryan almost exclusively it seems. Anyway, hope the covers will be okay, Leslie and Ryan are a hit or miss for me.

Wow thank you for the info but I still think LOVE and again are maxi single not mini albums. You can not put a lot of instrumental and remixes and say"mini album" because you have 12 tracks. I like LOVE songs but the remixes and instrumentals, I repeat, they are unnecesary at least for me.

As much as I loved Party Queen I don't need Party Queen ~Loneliness Strikes Again~ & Timmy with his ooh yeaah woaaah in the background of every single song. Just gonna quote Sparkle here: "No - no - no."
