As for her new look..i think she looks like her old self..like from Appears. Especially if you look at her perfromance on HEYHEYHEY. Totally! hehe I love it!...Although I wish we knew for sure if she actually cut her hair short..and now it's grown..damn I liked it short! hehe

realli wierd name (o.O)...but oh wells, I'm still getting it. AND I LOVE THE COVER! XD

I remember when I was talking with jerms about the album before there was a cover pic, and I said this:

Omega Prime2020 (3:35:54 PM): i could imagine ayu wearing a golden gown, kinda overlooking a castle or something...

Obviously not the exact image, but I'm quite curious about what the booklets will show. One of the translations mentioned that there'd be 7 "themes" , representing pics of Ayu as a fairy, devil, etc. ... quite the interesting concept this year ;)

:laugh and i said i imagined it like duty, only instead of everything leopard, it was gold o_o and she's wearing a silky gold somthing with long straight golden hair. o____o

so wat does memorial address means?

HA! *feels 10 ft tall* lol j/k anyways,

When I read the album would have a gold theme, I imagined a gold ayu. I dunno castle or something. But I like this picture a lot better, even tho it doesn't really look like her ^_^;

Not too sure yet...I'd imagine it like Ayu giving a speech to a crowd (or in this case, her fans), so perhaps with the lyrics of Angel's Song/Because of You, a new PV, or maybe the booklet in the album, we'll know for sure where the title came from ;) !

btw before i found out the title of the new album........this site mentions that the new album was call Anniverth....few fans thought aniverth is another ayu's word Anniversary + Birth = Anniverth
but i'm glad that isnt' the name.....it wud be a funny title....imho

lol! sounds like someone with a lisp saying anniversary O_o;

oooh thats what i thought too :D

*mouth drops* She looks HOT. And I don't say "hot" at all.

Wow. She's great-looking normally but this is a great picture...

Not much else to say. Wow. Impressed.

she really really look good on the cover!
love the pic lots...really hope it's confirmed n no last minute changes..

Yet another follow-up on the mini-album, this time from DailySports and NikkanSports, for those interested.

i dun realli like the cover and the title... n y izit a mini album???

Hmm.... I don't really know if I like the cover.... I must get used to it and then I'll surely love it :P

But the title rocks!

Avex have finally updated Ayu's site confirming what we already know, and letitng us know the title of the bonus track which is "Memorial Address (take 2 version)".

Check it out: http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ayu/info/memorialaddress.htm

Not crazy about the name, but I like the cover pic... I'll definitely be getting this for Xmas... I hope there's a CD/poster set for it....

Finally confirmed. Thanks matt.

I'll consider this release a PV collection with a bonus CD rather than her 6th album. Makes me feel better :laugh

Oh yes, it makes me feel ALOT better, plus there's the A Museum Tour footage, so I'm somewhat alot more pacified now.

The title's great!~ Sounds very Ayu.

I'm not sure what to think about the cover...it looks similar to the ASFXX one but she looks...ill. The gold colour doesn't exactly help it either...while her eyes in ASFXX looked innocent, this time they look battered and weathered...albeit more mature. IMO.

btw, Avex is really getting on my nerves right now. If they could make RAINBOW in less than a year then why can't do the same again?? And Ayu had less performances this year...ahh!! I want this album for xmas...but if the songs are going to be on the 6th album (if there is one) anyway then I wouldn't want to waste money on this one...I don't know, a mini album just isn't appealing, heh.

btw, has Avex confirmed that it's a mini-album and not an album?? Just curious. The definitions can get cloudy...
