I think the album may sell in the first week around 7,000 copies, and 11,000 in total. Just like CONNETTA and DOLCE.

Um, why wouldn't they release the best songs as singles? They want the public to buy the album, so they are going to release what they feel are the best songs so people will buy the album. Every artist does that...

I think this album is too expensive.
Now I don't know if I order it or not...:grumpy

^ Yeah, the price was not bad before the world financial crisis.

Everything is so much more expensive now!

This is my impression too, there are very few artists that have any better album tracks than single tracks. Ayu is one of the few ones..

Also arrangements tend to be more attention grabbing and cathy uped for single tracks because they must grab attention at first listen. So yeah, there is a difference in general.



REG financial crisis, Especially for those of us who are unfortunate enough to not live in countries with euro or dollar, the financial crisis makes theordering of goods in those currencies even worse and very unstable. I'm not going to order anything untill I know for sure What I'll pay and as it is now our currency here has been very unstable. :cry:

Umm, maybe because "ONE" and "can't stop the DISCO" were done before the album tracks were? :o

Do you know this for a fact? With someone like Ayumi, we all know she has been recording singles, and then (last minute in some cases :innocent) creates the album. With ami, they announced this album before, or around the time ONE came out... meaning ami and her team would have had to have a fairly good amount of work done on the album to shoot for a 2008 release date.

Plus, even if they had created some amazing songs after the release of ONE and cstD you would think that they would release that song in some way, shape, or form before the album came out to create some hype... because lets be honest, ONE and cstD wernt exactly the best selling ami singles ever.

^
Or, which is also osmething that in many case happens, they will use the new good songs as singles before the next album or simply give them to some other artists. This happens all the time.

Another thing is that they can tweak the arrangement of a mediocre melody /composition to make it sound more like a "single track" and vice versa.

It can be generally assumed that an artists works on their album after the singles have been released. All that was announced (in like August) was that she was going to be doing an album with Yasutaka Nakata. They probably have been working on the album up until very recently, seeing as how a tracklisting and the album title were just released.

Okay, first of all, no, most artists do not do this except ones who put out crap like crazy like Koda and Ayumi. Second, ONE and CSTD were her highest charting singles in 2 years...

TEN (the song) is going to have a tie-in with Honda Cars for October-December:

TEN
[ 2008年10月～12月 Honda Cars キャンペーン（地域限定）タイアップCM ]

http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ami/news/121.html

Oh, and there's a new DVD clip for the CD+DVD version: The first DJ play @ club asia

hopefully the tie in can help the album in some way...

Yay for the tie-in and new addition to the DVD...it looked a little scarce to me, so maybe this will help it appear meatier.

So she's replaced Kumi as the Honda CM girl ? :P

Anyway, Ami has been working on this album for a while. At a DJ gig in july/august (forgot when) her and Nakata performed a few untitled songs from it.

Plus can't stop the DISCO was already recorded in July, it's strange it took them way over a month to announce that that was the second single; I assume they'd planned for another song that wasn't ready in time or something.

^Well they did say that CTSD wasn't planned for any single release at all when the donut cm came out, but it turned out that way, so maybe you're right.

I'm excited for the previews... TEN seems like it'll be a strong opener

did anyone download ami's performance of ONE and BE TOGETHER? she sang the remixed version of BE TOGETHER and it's in HD at JPS... it's really good.

Lots of artists release a song right before they release their album. Some examples would be Chara, MISIA, Ayu, Koda, Perfume, Namie, and even ami herself.

Don't get me wrong, I hope this is her best album ever. I just get the feeling it wont be.

OMG i'm excited for the tie-in, hopefully more ppl will notice about it ^^

and also, the other video, does that mean we can see ami playing as a DJ? or the live that she has done in a cruise stuff?

Yeah, I'm well aware. It's just that that is not the case normally, so I don't understand why you'd be expecting it like it's a given. Some artists never do it, like Hikki.

Anyway, I'm happy to hear bout that tie-in! Good job for Amigo!~!

This is absolutely not true unless the case is an independent band that has been lazy with their time limit. An artist has a pool of songs they select from and even if the final product to appear on a single is more finished before the album tracks (for obious reasons) most artists have other songs they can perform or that will appear on the album at the time they release a single simply because you cannot select one song and go with it hoping it's going to be allright if you have nothing to compare it to. I would think for a lot of album songs they may be reworked a little before album, but for ami who doesen't really do anything except for singing which doesen't need to take so long, I'm sure she could finish recording of several songs a long time ago even if nakata himself haden't finished them. It's the same case as with ayu's "it was" that was intitally finished for (miss) understood but was in the back of a drawer untill secret.

:yes

I thought Ami has been usually doing it? For AROUND THE WORLD, she released the single "AROUND THE WORLD" right before (or the same time? can't remember) as the album, with Connetta she had singles a week before and 2 weeks before the album came out, with DOLCE she had the Bitter... PV air around the time it came out, and now it seems TEN will be used to promote the album right before it comes out too. So I think with Ami, yes she usually does this kind of thing before an album, for promotion. =]

But it wouldn't be strange if she didn't do it. Connetta and ATW had physical singles released, but having a PV for a promo-only track has only ever been done one with Ami ("Bitter"), which is why I was confused why someone was seriously disappointed that there wouldn't be one.

This is incorrect. Do you guys not remember the interview posted a while ago (maybe in the Yasutaka Nakata thread) about them working on tracks from before DOLCE was even put out until a few months ago? And I have NEVER heard of an artist completely finish an album 5 or 6 months before its release unless there are label problems. Most of the time they are working on songs up until the very end.

"Ami's album tracks aren't going to be as good as ONE or CSTD because all artists finish an album and then pick the best songs to be the singles" is just a totally incorrect idea.

^YOU SAID IT!!!, In some cases American labels do that, and in some cases not so much, like PCD for example with their album DD When I Grow Up will be the BIGGEST single from that album cause as far as I'm concerned nothing will hit bigger than that single, and in Britney's case with Blackout Gimme More was supposed to be a hit but look at Break The Ice, imo it was a bigger hit that GM. Anywhoozer I agree with DDD!!!

^Thanks! I definitely think that Amigo (and Yasutaka Nakata) will be able to make some album tracks that are even better than ONE and CTSD! :yes

There's really NO doubt that Supreme Show will have a few songs (if not one) that make can't stop the DISCO seem like child's play. ONE, on the other hand, may be a little harder to beat... I love that song too much.

NO!~ take that back! can't stop the DISCO is an anthem. one of if not my single favorite songs of hers - not really sure why many don't like it... oh well, I guess that makes it more special for me :)

if this album is half as good as DOLCE i'll be overjoyed

^Haha don't get me wrong, can't stop the DISCO is a great song, but I'm sure there's gonna be songs that are gonna be even better :)

I hope there is a song even better than "FREE FREE"!

^LOL i cant wait for TEN! looks like its going to be another hit from the album

I LIKE FREE FREE
its one of my favorite ami songz ever!
i like BE TOGETHER so much! i love dancing to it every day

I love BE TOGETHER

and wow I also love this performance of THANK YOU 4 EVERYDAY EVERYBODY. cheer leader ami! :heart

and BE TOGETHER

I don't understand why people say old ami can't sing live, they must be deaf :yes

OLD AMI IS MY FAVORITE AMI!
i wish i could find her old tours online
all night long and white key are my favorites
and please stay tuned
i love everything
i luv FOREVER LOVE too but thats not rly old ami ~_~

Old Amigo is amazing. I love "love the ISLAND!" and also "ALONE IN MY ROOM". :weep I sing those at karaoke every time I go!

DID U SEE SHINEES REPACKAGED ALBUM IS CALLED AMIGO? I BET ITS BC OF AMI :yes

^YES! I keep listening to it and thinking of AMI every time I hear them say "AMIGO" :lmfao How kawaii..

Two and a half weeks to go until Supreme Show ships! C'mooooon.

Is this the perf you are talking about?

She performed it at the Sacas? I've never heard of that before :shakehead

Yes thats what hes talking about.

Its a summer festival from TBS, she performed at it back in July but it wasnt aired until recently.

oh my god! ami is sooo cute! i really like her style lately!

anyway what is that event? i never heard it before.

Ami is so beautiful...and I love the performances!!! =D

from wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Show_(album)

sounds still doubtful, but i still it is true ;)

edit:
new event! ami is so active for being a DJ! and i'm glad to see that she might be learning from the profesional DJ like capsule, shinichi osawa and DJ taku from m-flo. and oh my god, RINKA will appear as the model there! this mut be realy cool! i hope i could be there

^ You forgot the first part of that.

"Speculation has came about questioning if the album tracks will flow into the next just like her recent single can't stop the DISCO did. An example of how album tracks flow into the next would be like listening to American Pop singer Madonna's album Confessions on a Dance Floor."

wow! ami is really professional and sexy!

Well, her last few singles did, so I think this one will too!

^ Would they remix ONE a bit, then, so it would flow from the song before it?

I'm excited with this album! but I was hoping a new PV . :grumpy

Probably! Sounds like a really cool idea ne?

If they do that to ONE, I actually think a continuous album would be amazing. <3

I found a few low quality pics from the like a love? and Alright! photobooks, I've never seen these before!

I would srsly kill for these two PBs :weep

^she looks cute in those pics, but i really still prefer the ero-cute ami like what she did nowaday

and i dont like the idea that ONE is being remixed. i think that song sounds very cool, and since its a hit single, i think it'll be great if they dont put that song as a continuous one. i mean it will be more special and meaningful than the other since its the only song that has no "musical" connection with the other. and it will be the highlight of the whole album

^Technically the whole song won't be, just the beginning for it to flow. Anymore news about the album and such, no previews...?

^unfortunately, no

although its not too good, but i really hope that the album will leak soon or later :laugh

Guys, please post Ami Suzuki related things HERE, not her old threads...

hello2

any preview for supreme show????

I saw DOLCE and CONNETA album in sydney here.. it's really2 expensive.
for both AUD $ 59.
AC ayu only AUD $47,..

I didnt buy it

Does anyone know where I can see a live performance of THANK YOU 4 EVERY DAY EVERYBODY? It's like the only sony era single I've never seen live :(

http://www.56.com/u14/v_MTg3NTgxMQ.html

:angel

I am just hoping this album will have better album tracks than DOLCE and CONNETA, and even tough the "capsule" tracks are quite predictable and she already used the same idea in so many songs, I don't mind more of them, as they are AT LEAST catchy enough. What I would love to hear is another track produced by Otsuka.

^^ thanks! Her mini crown was so cute :heart

ya! like a love is so cool!

Yes, I love "Like A Love?" so much :weep

ami is really beautiful

Yes she is. do you guys prefer cute ami (sony days and CONNETTA era) or the more mature current sexy Around the World/DOLCE/Supreme Show ami?

Her current style :luv2

definately :yes being cute gets to be too much sometimes, lol. so i love her recent style.

I preffer her recent style too ;)

sexy cool ami 2007!

I need some previews... now haha

^ Same here. I keep looking in this thread hoping that they will pop up soon!

Has anyone else ever noticed that Ami's lip syncing is wrong during the "FREE FREE" video's first verse? It's weird.

^ Hmm, never noticed.

The lengths of each track on Supreme Show, according to jbook:

(4:58) ＴＥＮ
(5:24) ｃａｎ’ｔ　ｓｔｏｐ　ｔｈｅ　ＤＩＳＣＯ
(6:33) ｃｌｉｍｂ　ｕｐ　ｔｏ　ｔｈｅ　ｔｏｐ
(5:16) ＳＵＰＥＲ　ＭＵＳＩＣ　ＭＡＫＥＲ（ＳＡ’０８Ｓ／Ａ　ｍｉｘ）
(4:34) Ｍｙｓｔｅｒｉｏｕｓ
(3:29) ｃｈａｎｇｅ　ｍｙ　ｌｉｆｅ
(5:07) ＬＯＶＥ　ＭＡＩＬ
(6:09) Ａ　ｔｏｋｅｎ　ｏｆ　ｌｏｖｅ
(4:45) ＴＲＵＥ
(4:10) ｆｌｏｗｅｒ
(5:35) ＯＮＥ

there's nothing change for the single track, so will it really be a non-stop album? i doubt that, although i hope it will be a one!

and i agree with you all, 2008's the sexiest ami!

it changed beacouse is 5 second shorter (it enough o make it a new begining) and token of love is 5 second shorter (maybe they just mix the first few second of single songs xD)

Amigo at Red Cliff!

http://news.livedoor.com/article/ima...?img_id=530452

And with Gocchin! :love

http://news.livedoor.com/article/ima...?img_id=530445

http://news.livedoor.com/article/ima...?img_id=530455

omg bff! maki even loox good!!

Physically? I prefer the post-FREE FREE look!
Musically, I prefer the CONNETTA era.

omg my two fave avex divas (atm) arrived together. if they are bff it would make me so happy :weep

Amigo look cute :heart

SO PRETTY! both ami and maki look great. :love

They both look great!

http://i35.tinypic.com/2ntvl1e.jpg
~DivAz~

they'd make such a cute couple, LOL.

they look so glamourous <3

WOW diva looks! her dress is getting sexier in these period! i think she (or her stylist) can really choose some beautiful dress for herself! it looks pretty fit with ami! she looks like a diva there (or she really is!?)

Wow... she is really really hot there

Ami has been so hot for a while now...it just keeps getting better!

I don't really think she looked diva-ish or sexy. She was more kinda sweet looking. Since it's a tube dress and it's yellow. I love love love the dress. :heart

^That hair is definitely divalicious. No way around it.

more pics from the red carpet!

Ami looks so divine in that dress, she's like a queen or something. =D

Look so hot, but she seems like adjusting her bra... :/

i think i officially love maki goto, lol. she looks so pretty with ami! and ami looks so pretty, too :tipsy

She is a queen, hehe. :)

her skull is large :yes

WHERE ARE THE PREVIEWS?!?! :(

BTW, recochoku has all the tracks from Supreme Show available to download. :( I wish I lived in Japan...

avex is almost a week late with the previews. :eviltongu i'm so anxious to hear them too, lol.

^I keep changing the normal url for previews to the number of the CD and it's still not up lol :(

lol aww, this is killing my patience :laugh

i just hope the full album won't leak as slow as DOLCE did. i remember it like it was just yesterday :tipsy

Haha hopefully the fact that Nakata is producing all the tracks will entice people to get it earlier :P

Maybe she's re-enacting the TABOO PV xD

OMG.. she's really wonderful..
