If you guess about when she's going to announce it, then I'm guessing that she'll released it on February, 22nd 2012 or 15th. Why? Dunno... Men's feeling, lol.

how about 7-14 March? year after disaster. if not an album, maybe dvd with PoM

It being made unconsciously is what I'd call the ultimate guess since it's as random as it can be. And it's not like precognitions have ever been proven to exist, all the evidence there is suggests they do not exist so...reasonable predictions over dreams any day. :innocent
Anyways...back to the actual topic.

We obviously can't know when it will be announced and released but a 31.12 announcement and early-mid march release sounds like a perfect shedule for marketing(12.31 announcement = lots of people find out on that day + all the people watching the TV broadcast, saves them quite a bit of advertisement, mi-dmarch = anniversary of the disaster and her EP and 2010 tour were themed after that after all) and touring(April as starting point for her enxt tour? would work) and likely from what we know she has done so far.

Whenever the official announcement is made, I'll get the news from someone at AHS posting it here.

The 1st photo posted of Ayu recording reminds me of kanariya-era... like the photo style, clothing,ec..

boooored. news please.

We still can make lots of assumptions
considering the release date/s,tracklistings,album title...
will she announce the new album prior or after the NYE
Ooooh,come on Any some NEW info PLEASE!!!

If she is still not done with the actual production she'll hardly announce it :P Give her time. Considering that we know the album's prolly near completion it's alright to expect it to be released before Spring, we'll hardly get it before February anyways :)

So,it's late March-mid April release then :think
Kinda similar to RnRC release date maybe... :yes
Well,this is the best time to re-listen the entire ayu discography (albums wise).
Even though Love Songs was released A YEAR AGO
that album is so fresh in terms of musical arrangement and lyrics.:luv2

〖2012/03/07〗New Album＆New LIVE DVD

シングル曲3曲に、新曲を12曲加えた全15曲収录!



DVDには4曲の新曲のPVも豪华収录



『ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 A POWER of MUSIC～』 3/7発売

全国12都市35公演、约30万人を动员して行われた
アリーナツアーライヴ。

someone translate please, Is there any chance that this info could be real?

3 single songs plus 12 new songs, totaling 15 songs

4 new song PVs (plus the three single songs, I'm assuming)

If this is true, I assume that the 3 videos she did in London could make up the three songs for the single as stated in this. So a single in February? News next month?

Of course this is a rumor but it's logical. :P

It seems to say that it will include three single songs... Seems a bit early for the album if that's true?

WOOT :thud ?!

If this true maybe we'll see another moon/blossom~crossroad~L again?

Can't wait for the official infomation >///<

Or one 3A-side single, if the announce it soon, it can fit, sort of like Rule/Sparkle right before NEXT LEVEL.

It's fake.....

Hmmmm, certainly hope this has some sort of truth in it. I'm ready for a single or an album like right now!

The only fishy thing about this is the way they wrote the title of the tour. I don't believe ARENA TOUR 2011 is in the official name of the tour?

Wasn't it just ayumi hamasaki ~POWER of MUSIC~ or something? So if they "copied" this from somewhere official it would have been written wrong there...no? Unless they change it for the DVD release haha.

OMG I want a single!! Please ayu please!! 3A-side single would be great *__*

Exciting!! I hope Ayu can give us nice surprises in the new album~~ ^_^
