I just won't accept it if one of these releases isn't a new trance album. LOL

I think its pretty obvious that is exactly what will happen. :) These will all be put on an album later with a coupld of new tracks, no doubt about it. I'm looking forward to the new material, but I will wait for the final album to come out to actually buy anything.

^Sounds like the usual pattern...you're probably right. Ugh lol

I would most likely get these second had or overseas version, money is really too tight for me!

Personally I feel like in this situation, it would be all music related...

The article mentioned other acts who did consecutive releases, and it was all music.

It really wouldn't make news if she was releasing photo books and stuff...

Plus, the Oricon article says we should expect more surprises, which could be the calendar, lifestyle stuff, etc.

Lol guess I can only afford her os album, Japanese version ill mak me broke >< can't wait for the launch. :D

I do think those things may come out IN ADDITION to other CDs...

Like on 01/08 we could get AT12 and on 11/08 we'd also get the calendar?

There's a lot of possibilities, I suppose.

I'm not too sure about 'releasing the songs again' on another release. Did that happen with Memorial address or FIVE? If these were singles like MOON/crossroad/L... maybe.

But the most I am expecting is a box set + bonus DVD/BD, and the worst case scenario is the "15" album.

Is it possible it will be something like Koda kumi 12 consecutive singles before?
5 minialbum in a row then follow with a album (A best 3?) with all the tracks.

and i wonder normally Ayu will be all happy and excited about her announcements and new songs,but now she didnt really say anything on twitter ,she tweeted bout anything else,just wondering ,,,it's just not so Ayu xD

is it really going to be 5 mini albums til march next year??

We don't know.

WE DO KNOW it will be 5 releases. One of which is a mini album (LOVE) but the others could be singles, DVDs, albums... no one knows.

It's seems that someone close to Ayu died (she tweeted R.I.P), so I don't think she was in the mood to be happy for a release.

yeah i know that and i hope you are right,just want to see Ayu enjoying this release as much as fans do :yes

it could be one of her dogs...

Answer to expensive complaint = overseas versions. very cheap compared to Japanese CD prices.

Also, I don't see her releasing a compilation of the songs at the end of the 5 months - they are supposed to be a "thank you" to the fans, not a "let me take your money and release the new material on an album at the end." I see that alienating her entire fan base and it doesn't seem to be the reason behind these consecutive releases. Much like how "Mirrorcle World" was never included on an album - it was a 10th anniversary release and stayed exclusive to that event. The same thing will happen here.

*the same reaction*

Another bad article it seem ... someone can translate because google translate fails a little ! thanks in advance =)

^ I think it's saying that Avex has to do this release for Ayu, because she's their biggest artist ever, even if the sales aren't favorable. And it's unfortunate that Avex has to do such an event when it won't bring them in a whole lot of profit.

It uses the word 赤字/akaji which means deficit loss? So Ayu will cause Avex a deficit loss, but because of what Ayu has done for Avex all these years, they have to give her this?

It's kind of a "poor Avex" article, I THINK. That's what I got out of it, at least.

I like this idea. You still in Japan? Go to Avex HQ and tell them this. Make sure they do it.

^ Hahaha I'll get right on that :P

"This just in - crazed foreigner storms AVEX Headquarters, demands releases."
