12 songs.....don't become selection again ~

I agree, we need another winter ballad. However i'm bound to be dissapointed as nothing can ever beat BALLAD :P That song is the definition of flawless.
Hopefully the tracks are as strong as the one's on LOVE.

uhhh... i hope for a winter track (à la Together When...)
and for an uptempo track full of energy (like a mix of Sparkle, You & Me, Startin' and STEP you)
and at least o hope for a simple piano-ballad (à la JEWEL, beloved)

It'll prolly be similar to LOVE. 3-4 new songs, remixes and insts.

my bigest thing is that they might all be 3 tracks, then they will all appear on a album packaged with a best album...
-.-

that would make me sooo mad, lol...

^ That's why I'm not getting these releases until her 15th anniversary or at least an annoucement of what they'll be releasing around the date... If they're gonna put some of these songs on a best, I hope they include only one from each release...

I have a sneaking suspicion this will happen. Just tack the new tracks together and make a 15 track album at the end of this.

That's why I'm not buying any of these mini-albums.

I only find it a problem because I will want to buy it, lol...
I do like having all the releases for my collection so its no big deal...

I just hope they add some killer stuff with it.
I want something more than a best album... I want never before seen videos and crap like that...

Probably something like Koda's 12 weeks of singles and then they all appeared on Best ~second sessions~ or whatever it was called.

TBH I hope they're not all mini-albums because it will be quite silly to have a discography of 7 mini-albums, 13 albums and 50 singles. Though I think I am the only person that counts Memorial Address as an album when I count them her albums in my head.

I definitely agree with you ! BALLAD best ballad ever ! And when watching it in RnR Circus, I was like :luv2 and :scry in the same time !

^ why not?
So many people here are counting this mini album as a single...
so lets all count memorial address as an album!

Also.. while we are at it, lets count all her maxi-singles that she had during her peak as albums.... what is that now?
We have 30-40 albums... wow, ayumi... thats a ton of music.

:sigh
people can be ridiculous sometimes.

I still think that calling it a best album (Kumi's second best album) was a bad idea, but that's long gone and the album has sold 1.8 million copies, I think.

I really dont understand koda's disco really, lol... its so confusing, but I guess it was a best at that time?

Me too!
I can't understand these slightly differences between album/minialbum/maxisingle/single. Theory is easy but when ayu release a minialbum and it's the same like some of her old singles... Maybe is just the time changing the name of the things.
Last single "L" had 3 songs and 2 PV's, remixes are like extra stuff as instrumental.

LMAO WHAT. All I'm saying is I used to personally count memorial address as an album like any other of her albums before FIVE, Love and the future mini-albums. Like if someone asked me how many albums she had in 2003 I would say six (ASFXX--->Memorial Address).

^ ^ Probably it's a mini cause the songs wont be included on a studio album, like FIVE had no tracks on Party Queen, though the songs may someday be included in a compillation.

I will be so pissed if she put these songs on a best album!
If she does something like Robyn's Body Language I wouldn't care

12 tracks..please NOT intrumentals and bad remixes! That is not a mini album

Really guys, what do you expect? It's almost sure there's gonna be a lot of remixes and instrumental tracks! She's going to release 5 discs almost in a row,and even if one of them is probably going to be a best of, that is a LOT of new songs, you can't expect much more than that !

I tend to count both MA and Five as albums, so, I understand you, as the name says "mini-album" is an album, just shorter. :P
