if it's being released the day after xmas, i'll be in tokyo and i'm nabbing that up! sure to be plenty of cute girls in line too. lol i suck at life.

This message makes me want to hear the album more. Just cant wait for it.

yea, kinda intense.

normally albums that are released on January 1 are released earlier
and there's always random places that sell albums/singles a few days early haha
(miss)understood was like that, being in stores in boxing day i remember
and there's those stores in hk that get the CDs really early and selling them when they're not supposed to :P

true, she said that when recoding Together When... ... and if there's any doubt left, read the song's lyrics :O

each day I want this album even more...

Thanks for the info :D

TO CLEAR A FEW THINGS UP.

Ok, There has been speculation, of course, that the person who died is her mother.

BUT. She enver actually said who died.

And the"godmother" that everyone is referring to is actually Mika John, actually a close friend of Ayu's. She in mentioned in the aforementioned tA post 199 because Ayu was grateful that she convinced Ayumi to go on stage and sing.

It's may be her mother because she seems to be EXTREMELY torn up about this, and honestly, how many people would make her this crazy?

Also, "Together When..." was written adn recorded BEFORE this death. So stop relating the lyrics to the event.

Original TA message:

oh wow...the suspense! thanks for posting!

thanks for the info

ok, it was written before the death, but not recorded, as she said on 199: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65637 in fact, she knew about the death before the recording...

but a couple of days later, she put this message, no. 200: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65698, the last part of the song and from my point of view, she was relating the song to the event.... methinks

Thanks for the info! I am so excited for the album! I hope it ships early too from CDJapan!!!!!

I'm going to pre-order it! I can't wait! We all love you Ayu!

Dammit Ayu no I really can't wait >w< I feel like my love for her is finally gonna be burning at full again.

Hell when my cat died I was a mess for about three months. =D (Don't think I'd write an album about it though)

I'm really excited for this album now. Little less than a month! D=

aww, i'm sorry for you. better now?

I just want to correct the initially provided translation. There are some misleading mistakes.

Calm down yo; people will continue to speculate if there's no concrete news (unfortunately). :headache

It is probably best for Ayu to not mention who exactly died. May they rest in peace, whoever they may be.

I wish I could be ayu when she listened to her album...
She sounds so satisfied...

i cant wait for this album!! it really feels very strong...i have never been this anxious for her album..even though (m)u lead up to something gd..and so did Secret...but GUILTY just feels very very strong..i dunno why

and i think the album is going to be very emotional as well...and dark..
she is touched by her own album..thats sweet

and i think what she means by queueing on Christmas is coz 1st jan albums release earlier?

Exactly, RIP whoever it was...
