I'm hoping for a nice cover and new songs.

idk why everyone keeps hoping for new songs. it's a new original album, of course there are going to be new songs and PVs lol

I wouldn't get that excited. No offense to Ayu but most of her "different" covers consist of different facial expressions or a tiny of movement change...Step it up a bit!


If any songs from the LOVE and again batch make it to the new album, i'd like it to be Wake me up and Song 4 u. I love those two.

I agree as well to previous posts. This albums needs promotion!

Party Queen had 4 different versions (right?) but three different covers.

I wonder if this album will have covers that will spark meltdowns (or even joy)
I'd love to have 3 different covers. One for the CD, one for the CD+DVD(blu ray) and one for the cd+DVD(blu ray)+goods

With Ayu you never know.
So l"ll keep hoping for a new album and new songs.

it 5 different versions as well.

CD
CD+DVD
CD+2DVD
CD+2DVD package
CD+2DVD blu-ray package!

I think all the songs on the minis will be on the album and I'm OK with it. If there's no interludes (or just 1) then it will be the standard amount of new songs for an album.

This sounds like a major release!! Im super excited considering her last release in terms of music quality. :innocent hopefully it will sale more than AGAIN though :(

i had a nightmare the other day that the album title was announced as "beach." :headache

i'm hoping for a really great cover, something that isn't like Love songs, Love, and again...something really unique.

^ I could live with that if i get fairyland ~episode 2: I cut myself in sadness~

maybe ayu will break up with maro or something then we'll get the second coming of appears. Bring it!
I would die of happiness if she starts the song with "koibito tachi wa" and sings it in the exact same way~ that's not gonna happen..

"snowy kiss" is "appears" written from the perspective of one of the lovers involved(instead of an outside view) and the video even references "appears" quite openly :innocent

woo hoo! new album! I wonder what's going to be included ~ hopefully the covers will be pwetty and include awesome songs

really? it doesn't really scream appears that much to me. appears feels like she's critiquing flop relationships. snowy kiss never gave me those feels. i hope this album has that "relationship diss" track.

to me it's like this

appears:
"are they in a bad relationship? they give off the illusion of being fine"

snowy kiss:
"we're in a bad relationship, but have been lying to each other about it and pretending everything is ok - I don't want that anymore"

"Your back was crying. I reached out to you
You turned around with a smile – a mask – on your face"
"I don't need you to tell me it's a gentle lie
So if you're going to lie, at least try to tell me a true lie"

plus the scene of Ayumi sitting on the car -> direct reference to "appears" PV

^Off topic: dang, i took snowy kiss as "theyre in a relationship they can't be in"

I'm sure we'll get more info in like a week for this album.

I took it as a BAD relationship... I mean all the PV's point to good times = really good.
but the bad = just not worth it.

I always thought the car scene was to connect with You and Me... thats what started it all...
which while we are on the topic... WHY chose your current boy toy to be the bad guy?!
I really think this are supposed to represent a fictional version of her and mannie.

damn once again, it feels like aeons since the announcement and I just need to know more. ><

I dont see why any of LOVE or again songs would appear on this album, if LOVE and again were singles, but its like saying that FIVE was going to be apart of Party Queen

I REALLY liked the covers for LOVE (esp. DVD ver.), but the ones for again looks so... cheap.

1st cover: eyes open.
2nd cover: eyes closed.
3rd cover: eyes to the left.
4th cover: eyes to the right.
5th cover "limited edition": eyes to the top with fish lips.
