^And the 8 "new tracks" include remixed versions of Last angel, Virgin road and Sweet Season ahaha

wow. This really hit me, it's plausible and very ayu-ish tbh
otoh this wouldn't match her recent image, she seemed to be much happier since the doctor guy (?) came into her life

Wow, happy to hear an announcement for a new album and the title is really interesting...

For those posting about that "A Last One" idea... remember last year's press conference. She said she would never retire.

I think it's more likely referred to the idea of a world tour than a retirement.

But who knows... maybe we find the first ultrasound of her first child! :tired:tired:tired

"A FIRST" would be better.

Okay Im officially obsessed with the ALONE idea. I can see the cover having a black background and the L is printed in black over it, so at first you don't notice it, but when light goes right into it, it'll reflect and be visible alongside the rest of the title. I've seen some t-shirts using this trick, guess it'd be still possible on paper.

Or it could be that she includes some leftover copies of L on the package.

Well, people are not alone only because of romantic relationships.
She can feel alone in any other causes.
(showbiz is one hella problematic world)

also she is writing lyrics like Last minute one.
She is pretty sensitive about family, friends, everything.

She did the same thing about the concept with Party Queen and then there was nothing much to explain in the booklet xD

but yet I don't think it will be depressing album, I think it will be something like Party queen/(miss)understood/Secret type (pack of everything).

A ONE? I would prefer to see Cirque de minuit as a title because a french title would have been more fresh. With this title I can't stop to think "1 1" But well, I'll wait to see what she's meaning.
only japanese composers? So no Timmy's song again, sad. Maybe the next time.

Can anyone tell me if i can purchase the TA edition / specials from concert venue as TA member? Will be attending the concert in april and I dont wish to pay extra to ship overseas - no point waiting so long (2-3 weeks) to arrive my house when I will be in japan then...

Not only 1 1, but 11 songs. so...1111 haha

This news is a great way to start my morning! I have high hopes for this album as Ayu seems to be in such a good place in her life right now. I kind of imagine a black and white photo shoot for the cover and booklet for some reason.

I don't think I can express in words how tacky the title is. I'll never be able to separate this album from steak sauce in my head now, thanks Ayu. It'd be fine for a compilation, but for a studio album... it's just... so artless and clashes with the rest of her albums discography honestly. It sounds more like a tour or a marketing campaign or something lol.

Yeah, that title isn't that good, even with a later deeper meaning. Though her titles never were that exciting to begin with.
But whatever, it's just a title.
Yay for the Last minute PV and new songs!

A ONE? i don't even get it.

Hmm... I'm excited for this album--I wonder what the meaning of "A ONE" will be. I like the A(L)ONE idea you guys came up with. I would love to see a concept in that vein from Ayu. I really hope it isn't something generic like, "A ONE DREAM" with no explanation.

I really liked Colours but I hope Ayu takes this album in a completely different direction. Honestly, I think I like Ayu's darker albums the best so I hope this isn't too peppy.

Thank you for putting into words what I had no idea how to express, lmao. And the sheer Engrish of it is just....staggering :shakehead

She usually uses "A" to refer to herself (even on "A song for xx", it's to be understood as "Ayu song for..." instead of "One song for..."), and this happens again on A Classical, A Best, A Museum, A Ballads, etc.

So, Ayu - 1?

LMAO this would be a really smart idea. AHS would literally blow up. But Ayu doesn't plan on retiring anytime soon.
