not sure if I have to be excited or not lol those titles, I hope the songs would be great though

"a cup of tea" gives me a grandma-ayu feeling :D
I am really excited...

Ouch!!! :thud That would make me so mad xD

If I recall there was actually a second RnRC set after the first one, right? I wonder if these super-limited BR box sets will have hand-written lyrics in them? It's the only reason I can think of giving CDJ only 20 copies and YA probably the same. I think the NL USB numbers were higher than that!

It was decided to sell a special collection of photos in honor of the 13th album Party Queen

Party Queen wow <3
Actually I hoped for another title but umh okay I love it xD

"taskebab" LOL
"Return Road" maybe a respond song to "Virgin Road".
"the next LOVE" ..........................................
Ayu is really "something"!

So as expected "how beautiful you are" will be released as a digital single..

Yeay!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if it will be in the album/with the album, maybe the boxset's goods? lol

^I hope it's boxset's goods xD and I don't need to pay for it

It basically says "special shashinshu" which means photobook.

Apparently it will be separate and feature cut photos from the Party queen photoshoot. It also might be 3000yen according to a friend.

WOW! At last! Though, the title is not very creative, but huh.
Humm..So interesting, I was waiting for sad album, but this is definetely going to be upbeat. Maybe the next album is more "serious". But I do like NEXT LEVEL and expect this to be even better! Can't wait!

I think it's a breath of fresh air to get an upbeat-ish album after essentially 3 [with FIVE included] super mid-tempo albums.

We'll see but I hope the majority of the album is upbeat with one or two ballads/midtempo tracks.

hmmm ... I dont know what version to buy =)) too much version =))

Its amazing news!!! such a nice surprise since there is no single preluding to this album.. a 1st!! i have a feelings the album genre is going to be very much like next level's direction. can't wait for the release date =) hoping for a awesome album cover like FIVE and great songs to go with it!! Excited!!!

Ayu could've been planning the divorce for a long time though. :/

Maybe the photoshoot they did in a field 1 or 2 months ago were for the "how beautiful you are" cover ?
And now they're about to shoot the covers of the album, with those pink hair !

Yeah, possibly since around FIVE's beginnings anyway.

I only say this because if you look at the album lyrically, it's VERY much foreshadowing what was going to happen. Plus her English message mentions that she had been trying to avoid dealing with the subject for a while.

I thought they said those shots in the field were specifically for the album cover?

THIS. i so agree with you on "she needed to go musically"! that's why i love Love songs so much.

omg, finally!!!! i'm dying to see how this album will be!!!!! tbh i'm really really excited for this album <3
hope we get the covers soon

argh...

i'm super excited for this album, but it pains me so much because i don't think i'm going to buy the super limited crazy edition this time. its getting hard to justify spending $250 for something i'll just store away and never use. :(

maybe i'll get the CD only and POM BluRay seperately.

i REALLLLLY wish they would release this as CD+BluRay. ugh. i thought for sure they would. maybe it will come out in a few months?

It'll probably come out in a few months a la FIVE. It's not that time yet in the industry to bundle CD+Blu-rays normally.

The super limited thing is only really good if you want exclusive goods. Otherwise, just get the CD+3DVD and the Blu-ray or DVDs separately.

I'm interested to see what the exclusive goods are... hopefully it's not a mug again. Given the content of Party queen the song... I wonder if she'd do shot glasses?

I'm curious how they're going to package the CD+3DVD version since they're doing a DVD-package for HOTEL Love songs and regular CD case for the album+DVD.

I'm just going to hold out for the OS press I think, wonder if they'll do the album+CDL bundle? If not, I'll be happy with the regular CD+DVD edition.
