Oh, incorrect information, as I see.

Ohh I did not hear about that rumour of 1LOVE/JEWEL being a single. Anyway I personally believe that JEWEL should have been released as a single somewhere around the Secret release date and then Secret would be released somewhere around the A BEST 2 release date.

Also can anyone confirm that Secret was supossed to be a mini album? I remember reading that somewhere.

^ I remember it was supposed to. I think the tracklist was

Startin'
1 LOVE
Born to be...
BLUE BIRD
Beautiful Fighters
JEWEL
momentum

+ Secret

basically, just the tracks with PV's.

Also, was'nt the cover changed from pink to black? I remember there being a pink
layout at first, which turned to black...

I think it's impossible for everyone to like Ayu and not dislike anything about her.

Personally, this year for me is the year I've liked Ayu the most in the past 5 years I've been her fan. Sure sometimes there are things that leave me "Uh... wtf?" but then I just shrug it off and move onto something I like more about her, instead of thinking about things I dislike.

At this point, I'm happy that Ayu is still going strong even with the problems she's had.

No... before they announced any covers or anything, we got the announcement that the mini-album ->>> full album..

Errrr...

Not enough songs in concert set lists.

TOO MUCH ROCK.

Generic intro/verse>chorus>verse>chorus>bridge>chorus arrangements (@#SDF*&@).

That she/Avex didn't make GUILTY a NR 1 ALBUM.

Her recent lack of ballads.. o_O RAINBOW: 6 MY STORY: 6. (m)understood: 6.......then suddenly..... Secret: 3. And GUILTY: 3. ;___;

The pink layout was for JEWEL.. it showed some diamond [or jewel] in the flash intro.
Do you mean the covers for Secret? Those were shot on a white background but then it was photoshopped black. [Reverse of the A BEST 2 -WHITE- method]

qft.

@criminal: It was just for JEWEL?
Because I remember it announcing the mini album. It said something like " 2nd mini album- Secret". And then we got the pictures of Secret where she has the diamond bra on... so I think those were supposed to be the covers.

Diamond bra? I think you're thinking of someone else.. @_@

Psh, she has just enough. Just because she doesn't have 30 songs? D: 20 is a number that's just fine, since the show rounds out to around 2.5 hours long..

Isn't that the case with... all artists...? o_o

Maybe I'm wrong then, yet again.
I seriously have no recollection of a diamond bra. :|

Other artists haven't really had successful songs with the irregular arrangement.

^^Ayu would look hot in a diamond bra! Maybe for next album...?

If any of you want to look back at the Secret [mini-album] stuff..

LOL ... I mean, the one in the Secret booklet that she's wearing in the peach/pink background and under the black dress.

Did you have some sort of fantasy album in mind..?

Here's a page that has all the scans for Secret, and that's not one of them.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLl
I remember that pink background message.
I'm glad that Secret became a full album, another reason for it excpet being a good album (imo) is that if it was a mini album it could have an ugly pink related something covers and I love Secret's CD+DVD cover too much for having something pink and ugly instead :laugh

I think Nippon means the page next to Secret's lyrics? :O

that's what I meant :P
I guess I got gray n' pink confused hahaha

The reason why it was pink was because of the fact that BLUE BIRD came out 8 jillion yeahs before they made the announcement, so the layout was still on BLUE BIRD mode. I think that they had planned to do the Secret album covers the way that they are now regardless of the mininess or not.

I agree with people who want to see Ayu collaborate with a electronic music producer again. Ayu + Ferry Corsten's "Connected" is one of my favorite songs by her.

I'm not very pleased with all this rockish direction Ayu's music has been heading. I'd rather she go back to her electronic/pop feel. like "Naturally" & LOVEppears :yes

it's not that I don't like GUILTY tho, even the rockish tracks. but MY ALL is the best :P

^ Ferry Corsten is da bomb!



Also MY ALL was great, until I overplayed it and became sick of it
