^ when I saw download section with Countdown I thought it was for LOVE cause it was [MV] in the title.... :< I want it too :<<<

no previews yet??
sadness!! Less then a month at least

Yeah I want official song/PV previews too ! I'm dying to hear the full HQ version of "Song 4 u", I'm addicted to the ToX2 version haha.

And by the way, I didn't really get what they said about the release date. The album is released on the 8th but it won't start charting until the 14th ? So that means all sales made in between will be counted as one day on the 14th ? She might get #1 then (and drop really hard the next day LOL), not that I really care about that though.
(Sorry if you guys already discussed about it !)

^ikr~

6 days presale? Well isn't that convenient.


But then I guess December will have a three day presale.

^ Sounds really good for her #1 album streak :laugh
What's more, I checked and there doesn't seem to be a lot of important releases on the 14th, so she really might get #1 weekly too (except if JUJU's bests and whatever other CDs released on the 7th have really consistent sales).

omg I will die if she pulls another FIVE again and holds out till the release date

so anti-climatic getting all the pvs at once with no teasers

still hoping we get those morning shows previews soon and one or two pvs listed on SSTV

Even if it the official release is not till the 14th the sales before that will still end up on the week before. I really doubt all the days before that will be counted for the official date?

Really? I always feel it's anti-climatic when previews and such are released and it's built up to be this epic thing and then it just... isn't.

This is right, they will not hold the sales until the week after. She will chart for the days she sells, but will be disadvantaged because she won't have that whole week of sales to rely on as other artists who release on the Wednesday. She's only disadvantaged by one day though with LOVE, may not have a dramatic effect on her overall sales.

Hopefully we'll get youtube previews soon!!

I feel like that is apart of the excitement like creating your own scenarios on how the full will be like sometimes it meets expectations sometime it doesn't but overall I like being teased for a release then being in the dark till the release day

especially for artists I stan like Ayu

So, basically, what Avex are doing is having the ACTUAL release date, and the pretty release date to tie in with the whole ~for the fans~ thing?

I heard the new tracks live rips through Facebook. Missing is so fantastic!!!!! Melody totally reminds me of Key in the verses. The whole song could fit really well into her earlier albums and it totally has that concert-ender feeling like winding road. I love the guitar-only-ish verses. Song 4 u was nice until the 2 u and 4 u. Her yeahs weren't that good IMO..but that's a really difficult part. You could her nervousness a bit too haha..

^ links?

No, the official date is the 8th.
Oricon won't have a FULL release date till the 14, because its mot being.released on the normal release date.

Missing is gonna be my jam. Goodbye 'In The Spotlight'. Hello 'Missing'

Melody is so disappointing. It's alright, but... It sounds like a lesser of CARLOS (less nostalgic, more stale). I hope the studio version is more polished.

I like Song 4 u, but... I'm not even gonna go there; I got better things to do than argue about this song being on here.

Now all that's left is to buy the album.

Missing sounds amazing as expected, Melody reminds me of Girlish mixed with Beloved for some reason. But it sounds really nice.
I won't even comment on Song 4 U, i was sold a long time ago.

L, Love songs, LOVE it's a triology about love and FIVE talks about love too and the wake up of the people.
Really nobody see this? I'm the only who is wake up and finally I understand all the Love songs videos and FIVE videos?.
Last Angel is my story, this really happens to me in the past 2 years, I live the same situations that is in the video, in a ''Hostal'' with somebody following me in the past, trying to kill me, but it's reality of my life and fantasy in my dreams.

But finally I was dead like ayu in the streets and I come to life like ayu with the wedding dress.

I have yet to listen to previews and from comments about Melody being boring, I was hoping to God of all songs that it would not be similar to beloved. Yuck.
