Yeah, I dont really care for the song titles. Rest assured, the songs are always good.

Im sure they will update sooner or later...The full tracklist will then be out...Hopefully there will be a PV for a new song hope...

HanabiChick 27th January 2006 05:28 PM

^it does say on Ayu's site that on the DVD there are PVs for two songs, so that's been confirmed already.

Raleigh 27th January 2006 05:38 PM

Yeah MC is right plus most of Ayu's titles are bizarre yet good, example STEP you.

Well, the titles aren't 'bizarre' this time, but quite normal and understandable :laugh ;)

Anyways, I'm excited to see the covers :) :)

I really feel like kicking some of the people who think that teens is some new Ayu song that she'll make a PV for.

:p /dies Anyways, yay for the single<3

ayu_fan929 28th January 2006 03:38 AM

^LOL. yea, there will be no PV for teens i think. maybe possibly a new PV for 1 of her (m)u album songs?? (ie: my name's WOMAN on STEP you/is this LOVE? single?)

truehappiness 28th January 2006 04:21 AM

uh; Obviously. Ayu is COVERING teens. JEEZ.

People, TRF are the original people who did teens. Ayu is just doing a tribute song. OMG. /dies

Ayumi no Yume 28th January 2006 04:53 AM

Song names make me lack interest.
I really wonder what the cover will look like..

Neo Daydream 28th January 2006 04:53 AM

exciting! can't wait!

*+Dark.Night.Angel.+* 28th January 2006 07:12 AM

I find teens prettu interesting... makes me think of her first singles in which there were only the main instrumentals, "maybe" a remix and an acoustic version of a song hehehehe... really simple.

And also reminds me of the My Story singles which were very simple.

Same goes for me. I also kind of :rolleyes at people that are saying there should be more PVs on it or more of this or more of that. There are going to be 3 songs and 2 PVs on a SINGLE - the only thing Ayu is required to release on a single is ONE song. Anything more than that is simply bonus that we should feel thankful for.

truehappiness 28th January 2006 07:48 AM

Seriously. Ayu's spoiled her fanbase in like, almost every way possible. [her constant #1s, her many tracks on singles, many photoshoots.., consistent sales..]

I think that because of this, we expect way WAY too much out of Ayu. For instance the whole (miss)understood thing and B&D not selling well.. it's sort of dumb.. x.x Most Japanese albums don't really get past 500k, do they? :\ and what about singles? Many sell under 10k! ;_;

Raleigh 28th January 2006 08:42 AM

^ Plus now all Ayu fans will expect a double A single or whatever it is called and when she'll release one song for the single with remixes and instrumentals people will be disappointed and the sales will probably be less.

truehappiness 28th January 2006 09:25 AM

Nah. Sales were low even for B&D, but that was TERRIBLE timing. Anyways, I think that she'd get in the high 200k, low 300k even if she did one song singles again. I have a feeling she'll do a one-song after Startin', but it's just a feeling :p

Weren't people disappointed when Free and Easy only had four tracks? That's like 10x worse, I guess :p From 10 jillion remixes to like, one or two. :\

Raleigh 28th January 2006 09:55 AM

Yeah but remember that B&D wasn't a song which was really loved among the public plus it was prior to the album release.

People are always disappointed somehow. Now imagine how they'll be disappointed after a year and more of double A sides and then they get a single with one song and a couple of remixes.

Mad_Cactuar 28th January 2006 10:02 AM

Probably a B-Side was what she thinks will make the sales go up? Maybe it might work if it was excluded from her future album.

Raleigh 28th January 2006 10:06 AM

Yeah that's the main idea behind it - to get more sales. However yeah as you said if it gets included in the upcoming album we'll have 6-8 single tracks again which is not so great imo. I prefer a lot of non-single songs. If it was excluded from the album it would be fantastic but few songs actually do get excluded from her albums. I've only seen a few being excluded like ever free, theme of a nation '03 and Two of Us. I think teens will be excluded though.

truehappiness 28th January 2006 10:24 AM

The positive thing for me is that if she doesn't release Born to Be now and we're all dying for it, then it's like '...' and if its an album track, then there's a slight chance it might not get a PV, whereas if it is featured on the single, you have a really high chance of getting a PV for it. I think that it's a sort of lose-lose situation either way. If it's a single song as well, you might consider it too early and you might just put it off. But if it were an album song, you'd be stuck waiting and you might not even get a PV out of the wait. I'd rather take the earlier release + a PV. :\

I mean, what would things be like if Ayu hadn't released is this LOVE, alterna, Will or Pride at the time? The singles would pretty much be all.. blah. And we'd be sort of left with a long wait for more songs and a chance of no PVs. :[

There is no real reason for Ayu to put teens on the album anyway. It's already on LIF-E-MOTION, so why put it on another, especially a 'remix' version. Plus.. Ayu's never put a cover [note: someone else's words AND composition] on a studio album.. and once on a BEST album. So I don't see why one might think teens would make it on there..
