Sorry, but I already did. :D

No, I have nothing against mini albums personally but Ayu and her team tends to troll fans with stuff like this so I had to let it out.

There's just no way this is a mini. I think with the tour starting very soon, ayu is working non stop and just hasn't had time. Or hasn't wanted to reveal any more songs.

There was that social media post a while ago about her writing 14 songs and destroying 5, or something to that effect.

Hold it tho...

As far as I have ever seen, people troll themselves. Usually, Ayu's team and Ayu herself are pretty straightforward or generally are very vague so a lot of the disappointment stems from overly overblown expectations generated by fans.

Yeap. Someone says "I think it will be like this!" or "I hope she will do that!" and people start acting like that was an official information, them they get pissed at Ayu for not delivering she never really said she would.

I always go into Ayu releases somewhat blind (even though I pretty much find out all the information beforehand) with the expectation of "I don't really have any set expectations" with something that would be NICE but are not required.

Like for this release, a conceptual cover would be amazing, but it's not the end of the world if it doesn't happen. The release will become iconic regardless like the Party Queen ass shot or the (m)u smile.

But Ayu has already released maxi singles masquerading as albums...

The past is in the past. I really don't understand why that always gets brought up, tbh, because I for one don't like dwelling on old stuff and all it really does is create an endless loop of nothing. The discussion and anger all already happened.

To look at it objectively, I think they wanted to avoid singles since Ayu wanted to keep L as her last single until she reconsidered with Feel the love.

It matters because she did it. It doesnt matter if it was in the past. My point is that she did troll fans with such a release and isnt just something someone made up because of over-expectations.

I would not call it trolling. However, I would say it was "clever" (as in not really, duh) marketing to avoid the single title. The releases themselves were amazing though so I don't really give two shits about what they called them. For me personally, I never really felt trolled by the releases but moreso I was a little disappointed in what they went for as far as PVs and covers (for again, because Maro.. on PVs as well) since it really doesn't matter what the release is called.

Not talking about this anymore.

i guess no matter what we will know tonight. i kind of hope it's new songs. i don't really care if it's a mini album or a full album, i just want new ayu music! and these songs sound really great from the snippets. the AWA thing is a mystery lol

I'm just really excited overall.

I think no matter what it is, since it's new material, I don't care exactly how it's going to be distributed or if it's in pieces to begin with. It's just nice to have something NEW since Winter diary!
