Auto-Translation:

Ayumi Hamasaki 6th album! All eight music inclusion that recorded the bonus track besides two music of unpublished music on five music of big hit singles of subject by televisions, such as "forgiveness", or CM. Furthermore, it appears by two kinds, the thing and album with which album +DVD became a set, this time! The first trial in the history of music in which DVD which recorded the video clip of all inclusion music on the album is attached. the highness by which the clip was made with the prominent supervisor representing the music video scene of Hideaki Sunaga or the Tange �hŠó‚È‚Ç“ú–{ -- a thing with a quality work It is considerably worrisome! One extravagant sheet which her ‰Ì�º and the highest image work can enjoy at a stretch!

-----------

So from the looks of it, there will be 8 previously released tracks and 2 new songs. I'm surprised there aren't any more tracks, but I assume the DVD to make up for the lack of tracks ;) !

it says both CD and DVD would include one extra bonus song!!

i wonder wat taht would be

One of the songs listed is called "Because of You", while the rest of the info lists something about "plateau wall"... perhaps that's the name of a J-Drama, but at least it's 2 new songs to look forward to for the time being ;)

plateau wall is the drama with theme song of forgiveness

so itz gonna be because of you plus angel song

plus a bonus track

:)

oh yeah... my mistake! I forgot all about Angel's Song :laugh !!

I guess that's what happens when you stay up til 2am and get surprised with news like this ^^

wowwww.. so rumors of a 6th album are true ^.^

O.O and December isn't so far away... I'm still confused on how many new songs are going to be on the album?

o0o...thanks for the info! *adds to christmas list* :D

Apparently, there are two versions of the album. A CD+DVD package and just CD. Here are the links for pre-ordering @ CDJapan.

CD+DVD http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-17410

CD only http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-17411

Neowing has information listed as well. They say that the DVD will contain live footage accompanied with PV/CM I guess.

Tracklist is a quite disappointing. The CD alone is only being sold for 2000 yen. Meaning it's not going to have as many tracks as her other albums. It's apparently eve smaller than <i>Duty</i>. We've waited all year for <i>this</i>. Maybe things will look up..

WOW super WOW i;m a bit lost... but new album thats great ^_^ next month rite? ^_^?

yesasia still dont have for pre-order

i really want A museum concert to...

I must own this. Must. No questions. MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE! ^_^

Awesomeness! Granted, I would like it to have a tracklist the same size as previous efforts, but I'm alright with a smaller one.

for a 8 track cd + 5-6 track DVD 3300 yen isn't a bad price, i'm definately getting that when i'm in HK at Dec ^__^

WHAA???? why leave så much space??? I had hoped for a 15 track cd... *sob sob*

Thnx for the info.. im getting this for sure too.. ^^

maybe she will do a update on new songs and make it 15,,, hope ^_^

edit.. hey omega... hope you dont mind post the info on other ayumi forums ^_^:D

Thanks for the info - I hope that's not the full tracklisting, but if it is, I'll wait till January to get it.

WOw! Thabks for the info!

'plateau wall' is "Kougen e Irasshai". "forgiveness" is the theme song for this program.

The track list isn't out yet, that's just a list of songs that Ayu has released since "RAINBOW".

Thanks for the update Unimatrix Prime™ :thumbsup

koo.....but if its really a 9 songs album.....and plus a dvd that wouldnt boose the sales for ayu and those dvd
why would they add a dvd to it......since avex will release a ayu clips dvd collection sooner or later imo
*coughRIPOFFcough*

so many time for waiting and so less songs :( Ayu do something with that, record more sogns. Please~~
If i'll get some money i'll preorder CD+DVD set :)

Hey, finally!

Anyways, CD Japan is saying that it will include 5 previously released tracks, 2 unpublished tracks and bonus tracks. Right now it could go either way, she might release a near-full album or she might not... but that "bonus tracks" cover it for either way.

I hope its long! I want at least 11 tracks!











Have a Happy Day!
~Jasmine

YES!!!!1

this is so exciting. i love angel's song, or the ten seconds i've heard from the cm. :D oh man i can't wait for it to come out!

Nice :D I can get this for Christmas.

What'll be on the DVD? I'm slightly confused about that.

oh man really really Wow.. can't really wait till it release~~~
GR...my heart is palpitating faster and faster...

all u lucky people ¬.¬ ill never be getting it

why?

cause i cant get it over here ;_;

Anticipated album finally have a release date.......!!!!!

this is an audio / video album of 8 tracks:
the 5 single tracks, ANGEL'S SONG, Because of you, and an as-yet-untitled bonus track.
it features a cd then the dvd has the pvs to the tracks..
but that sucks theres only 8 tracks included :-/ avex marketting strategy getting something out b4 christmas, i would have preferred them to wait to get at least 12tracks, nanoni

*sigh* If it really only has 7 tracks, I think I may pass it up. Hopefully that changes by the time december comes around.

But I've learned to never assume anything with Avex, because they'll go and do the complete opposite. Ha ha!

Didn't they do this for RAINBOW also? So yeah.. I'll step aside for now and wait until they start releasing CMs and the cover art and final tracklisting if I want to buy this.. I'm not, not supporting.. I want to be satisfied. Musically, that is.. =p I need my money's worth. Musically.

Where is my mind this morning!?!? XD

altho im against the idea of it only featuring 8tunes, i still think its worth the price including an 8track dvd pv collection... wonder what the titles gonna b

only 8 songs??? 3 new songs???
we got more unreleased songs with & than we will get with this new album ... I hope there are more songs

WOW O__o Big thx
Only 8 tracks??O___o too bad...

I'll probably buy it... but i prefer to wait until we have the official tracklist to decide....
It seems the album won't have a lot of songs... but luckily in japan zone2 DVDs are used so i'll be able to play it in my european DVD (we use "zone 2" DVD too :) )

O____O Thanks for info ... I really want it .. maby... Xmas is coming step by step :D

WOW! Finally, news of her 6th album! but 8 tracks is a bit small for an album....oh well. Thanks for the great news!!:D :D :thumbsup :thumbsup

awesome!! this is great. i've been waiting for this since rainbow. and just in time for christmas!!! cheers!

And right under it says "Special Features: 1 bonus track (CD), digested live footage (DVD)"

Meaning there will only be 1 bonus track on the CD.

There's no way the CD could be anymore than 8 or 9 songs, considering the CD only package is being sold for 2000 yen. I'm sure the album is going to only be 8 tracks.

a must get album...

An Ayu mini album???

It regretfully looks like it is.

only 8 tracks? that ******* sucks... i already own 6 of them and heard part of angel's song. i don't know, she's a busy girl i guess... however, i don't want to bash ayu but to me it seems like she is selling out ::ducks::

It's more likely Avex's decision rather than Ayu's decision.

uh....if dey dont release more tacks im not gonna buy this....8 trax only...and i dun have a DVD playa,,,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....:(

..nuff' said. *hopes some error occurs and it's really released in january*

the following statements suck:
a) It's going to be a mini-album
b) It's going to be released in a month
c) It's title, "Because of you" sounds so un-ayumi-album-like.
d) There's only 2 new songs we haven't heard
i'm suer thers more, but i'll keep my mouth shut for now..

..at least "theme of a nation 03" isnt on there =)

my prediction: its a bonus single with footage..:shrug or a clips 3 with bonus songs..haha

..or some special edition single..pre-album..whatever.


edit-->
ok now i'm fairly sure this isn't going to be her "6th album" and that those sites made a mistake..this could just be a bonus dvd with songs on it..half cd? limited edition? eh? :(

wait wait....so its &+Forgiveness+2/3 new trax=a new album....bah.....i was acvtually consider not buying I am... but from da looks of this album i'd rather have I am...

It seems Ayu's not the only one who will have a CD/DVD release, as artists like BoA will also be releasing DVDs.

Hm... when I saw the topic title I thought there would be good news but the mini-album... it's just not what I'm waiting for.

Come on Avex... gimme that album... gimme... *slaps Avex-team in the face*

:) gohan u crack me up, funny guy..funny guy.. :D

honey paper o.O

kekeke....yey!!! i can't wait!!!! >.

the idea of only 8 or9 tracks doenst really bother me that much...i mean of course i want new songs....but all those released songs r quality tracks....so i dun mind at all...
plus there will be a pv dvd!!! now that's wat i really want!!!!

when i go back to hong kong this christmas i'm for sure gonna buy it hehhhhhh

Excuse me for not taking a screencap, but this morning it said bonus tracks. Hopefully she'll put in some interludes (those are never included in initial track totals) on the CD, I love those! Anyways, I'm curious as to why exactly she's doing this. Why not just release A Clips 3 and a full 6th album? Its weird.






Have a Happy Day!
~Jasmine

Great news... but.. how can you call this an album? That's like Mika Nakashima's "LOVE" album which only had three new tracks..

Same thots here. That's way beter.

No, it still says "bonus tracks" in the main description, but the special features listing says 1 bonus track on the CD. I just believe CDJapan got their plurals wrong in the main description because the special features part is more accurate.

thanx! this is jus in time for Christmas! I'm excited ^^

Yea, its so weird....

Why is she doing this?







Have a Happy Day!
~Jasmine

6th album in December. Sounds good to me. I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Cool an new album i want the version cd+dvd ,i don't see the song :" theme of a-nation " why ?? is the tracklist is not whole yet ?

ppl... pls read the details in cdjapan. i supposed the dvd only include some promo clips not the whole pv. maybe u'll see short short pv clips only

Wha!!!?? A new album? So soon too! But only 8 tracks.....I'm not sure what to think here. Hmmm.

Anyways, all things considered this album will soon be added to my collection. Here's to hoping there is more to this than what has so far been announced.

Thanks for the info Omega!!!! New album!!! Yay!

I guess it only features 8 songs since the CD alone only costs 2000 yen, different from previous albums which usually cost around 3000 yen, oh no...
*shakes head disappointedly and then dies* x_x

wow only 8 songs.... that is really little. I think that ZONE's Z album had that much tracks too.. But I am happy about the dvd.
thanks for the info.

im overjoyed at such great news!!
thx!

go Ayu! go Ayu!go go go!

omg omg omg!! im soo gonna buy this one...im just gonna wait for more news *hopes its not just 8 tracks*

if the dvd is included, then that means i have to buy the overseas version now....i cant play japanese region here

wooooaahhh I cant wait untill the release=)

Anyway i gonna wait till it release with that DVD:D

I feel sorry to thse who couldn't buy........:cry i don't know what word to say ....you mus be really sad u can't buy it:(

Found the tracklisting at yesasia's site. Not sure if it's 100% reliable or not.

04. Ourselves (Kose Visee CM Song)
05. Hanabi ~Episode II~

I really don't want this album to feature 8 songs only. Why can't she just records some more new songs and release the goddamn album early next year or something?!

Ahhhhhhh....hope the tracklist is fake!!!!!!!
dont want to waste money just for the old tracks!
ive already buy the single..and all i want is NEW track!!!!!

if only the DVD ver includes video ill consider on buying it.

Thanks for the update MaiGau.

cdjapan, hmv, and tower are now showing that track list too:

http://www.towerrecords.co.jp/sitema...DS_SORT_CD=101
http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail....en&sku=1911504
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-17410

These track lists are shocking to me :weep :laugh

Stupid, stupid Avex. This album will sell very badly.

I may preorder it. Who knows, it could arrive on my birthday :D:D:D:D:D
I need this album, :laugh

So it really will be 8 tracks... my faith in Avex declines by the day... :rolleyes

So it's sure now???

A mini-album? Hmmm.... I don't know... I wanted it, but... I JUST ORDERED "No way to say", "&" and "}{" (+ I have the "forgiveness" Single)... so is there a point in buying it... well... maybe for the DVD?..... I don;t know.... so confused....

The more I read about this the more I think it sounds like a complete ripoff.

It's ayu's first mini-album, it seems. This format is pretty popular. Day After Tomorrow released two mini-albums before releasing a full-length album. I don't think of this as a rip-off so much as something new. I think fans just have to decide if this is worth it for them (i.e. did you buy all of her singles up to the album) before purchasing. I will be buying the CD+DVD package. But 2200 for the album alone is really, really cheap. I'm excited.

:) guess disk 2 is a dvd set of pv's for all those songs?

I don't think this is a ripoff if it includes the PVs, but it certainly is an odd thing.

Day After Tomorrow's mini albums actually contained new songs on them.
They weren't mini albums made almost completely of previously-released singles.

Yea, its really weird to release a mini album with a bunch of single tracks and under the name of "6th Album". If Ayumi were really releasing a "Mini Album" she would call it that and it'd be nearly all new tracks. If she wanted a single collection, she could've done that as well - but this doesn't make any sense.

I've been thinking about this and I can only come up with two plausible situations. Either something weird is up with Ayumi or else maybe... just maybe that "bonus track" is going to be one of those 20 minute long ultra-song things. Its a long shot but, I just can't picture avex or Ayumi releasing an 8 track CD (under the name of "6th Album") for no reason - they'd make more money relasing a full album and A Clips 3.

This is so weird!







Have a Happy Day!
~Jasmine

Maybe yesasia is wrong.

But YesAsia's not the only site which is showing a "tracklisting" :

I don't think all these sites would all post false info at once, which leads to believe that "this is it". I'm really not sure why there's just 8 tracks ... if anything, they should've at least added a few older songs from previous albums/singles, even if it isn't "tradition". Just the idea of having a mini-album is different enough, so whether it's because Avex assumes the clips will make up for the small amount of songs, or whether they assume people will buy it whether it's 8 tracks or not, I'm not sure anymore...

The more I think about it the more it makes sense, even though its probably wishful thinking... maybe that 8th track is like 30 minutes long. You know, to be artistic. If its not, then I'm back to the "this makes zero sense" idea though, haha.















Have a Happy Day!
~Jasmine

Of course it could very well be correct information. I'm just implying that it could be wrong, and all these sites prolly got the information from one and the same source. Then again, it's quite assumable this information source was actually Avex. Avex can only gain by posting playlists of upcoming albums... it makes people excited. BUT, if the source is not Avex... this could be all wrong.

:laugh maybe avex decided to cheap out and make it a mega mix of every old released song by her. -__-

Maybe it's a John Cage cover called 30"00.

Or maybe that joke is too complicated.

Hahaha!!! Given these facts nothing else makes any sense. If she wanted to release a mini-album - call it a mini-album and not her 6th original album! If she wanted a PV collection, release A Clips three - but releasing half and album and half a clip collection makes no sense unless there's a catch of some sort...















Have a Happy Day!
~Jasmine

So I guess it is.

Anyways, new theory then. Maybe she is ending her career, doesn't have any inspiration anymore, so that's why they're putting the last tracks EVER on CD, along with a DVD to make it a special goodbye. Furthermore, A BEST will be rereleased because when Ayu quits, everybody will want to buy it. Again.

w00t!

sxesven, dont jynx it, dont say it. i didnt hear that. =X lets just say..its avex's fault :laugh

lol Ok i didnt say that :D

huh? ayu quitting? who said that? :rolleyes

Actually, that was my second idea but.. I didn't really want to mention it.

It doesn't make much sense for her to be quitting though, because if it were something sudden they'd release an even BIGGER collection CD/DVD to comemmorate it. And if it were something planned in advance there's no reason not to release a full 6th album and THEN release something comemoratiiiiive. No reason to hint at it when they could be all SHOCKING and make even more cash.Yes indeed.

Since avex themselves haven't released any information on this it makes me wonder if there's some vital piece of information we're missing... bah, I hate waiting!

I hope this all turns out well!












Have a Happy Day!
~Jasmine

is just 7 tracks

CD
1 Angel's Song
2 Grateful Days
3 Because Of You
4 Ourselves
5 Hanabi - Episode II
6 No Way To Say
7 Forgiveness

and apparently in the dvd not appear the "Forgiveness" video

DVD
8 Angel's Song
9 Grateful Days
10 Because Of You
11 Ourselves
12 Hanabi - Episode II
13 No Way To Say

btu then, the whole 'special trackS' thing gives a lil hope..still think avex is being REALLY stupid..

Seriously, though, hasn't Avex been disappointing us for years now? I keep thinking of all the crappy things that Avex has been doing to Ayu:

- the loss of 10 track singles
- the release of A Ballads directly after Rainbow (what were they thinking)
- Ayu trance 2 (total rehash)
- having to wait soooo long for singles at times
- having to wait soooo long for Ayumix 5, Ayuro mix 3, and Ayu trance 3, which weren't nearly as good as previous remix albums
- no Ayumix 5 AOV

So, Ayu's stuff has been declining forever. It's rediculous, but somehow I'm not surprised. Just disappointed.

And wouldn't it be funny if the "super secret bonus track" ended up being "Theme of A Nation"?
