Lol at the titles, but I hope its good!

^^a little odd, right? but I guess they usually are, and we never get what we expect...

OMGGGGGGGGGGG! I AM SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!

EFFFFFFF CD+2DVD limited and CD+2 Blu ray limited?! If they have different covers I am going to be SO mad LOL

ME EXACTLYY WE ARE EFFING INSANEEEE EOMFGGGGGGGGG

^ I can't wait to see the covers! OMG! Why no Party Queen on the DVD section?

That was pretty much my reaction as well! OMG!!!

REACTION HAS NOT ENDED AND SPAZZING AT THE FACT THAT WE ARE GETTING 7 NEW PVS!! + SOME 8 SOMETHING I DONT WHAT IT IS!!! AHASKDLJFALKSDJFLAKSDJF

Shut up! Kind of an odd title - probably the least "Ayuish" title ever and very... meaningless?

There must not be a PV for it...

Zeke - we also thought Love songs was meaningless at first ;)

A CUP OF TEA
**** YEAH
THAT'S EMILIE AUTUMN-ESQUE

also wtf is a taskebab

Oh, and: LET'S PLAY THE INTERLUDE GUESSING GAME. Clearly that wtfever taskebab thing has to be one.

Why am I just not excited for this? :/ The titles are different though lol. Seems like it's gonna be a fun, up-beat album.

Just got the announcement from TA email. I must say I am a little disappointed about the album name. But still excited about the release. Hope we get cool songs!

I hope taskebab and maybe Eyes, Smoke, Magic are the only interludes

HOLY CRAP!! YAY!! I'm lost for words...

Party Queen... lol.. a little tackie.. after a divorce.. lol! LOVE IT!

Yeah! That's so weird since it's the title track! You never know, maybe she will! I actually like Party Queen so I'm hoping I like the other songs as well!

I just
taskebab lmao
WHAT THE HELL

haha, I never thought of that! I love it too! Go Ayu!

Finally!!!!!!!!
And all those new songs right? No interludes right???
If so, that's I rly want!!! I want to hear all brand new songs!
And so happy that CDL is released together with the album!
Yayy!!!
And some title songs are so funny!
Taskebab?? A cup of tea?? XDDD

This is so... Koda Kumi of her. I'm am so not complaining, though. Kuu stole my love of Ayu, so this is Ayu stealing it back. I'm happy to see Ayu's happy party side. I really hope Shake It♥ is a cross between Kuu's Shake It and Lick Me♥, lol!!

I also wonder if Return Road is a follow up on Virgin Road, considering the whole Mannie drama, and how its linked to Virgin Road.

I'm excited, I haven't been this interested in Ayu for like, two years!!! This is the most excited I've seen everyone else too, lol!

I love it already! It just sounds so cute and random. I hope it becomes one of my favourites so I can say I have a favourite song called taskebab.

those were my guesses as well.

the limited edition box thingy though... what exactly is in it... the CD+2DVDs...plus a blu ray of....what? + ???

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs

^ I KNOWWWW I've been wanting Ayu to have fun, too. An artist can only create brooding deep songs for so long. Girl has to have some fun.

This has the potential to either be horrendously tacky or fantastically awesome.

album PVs and CDL 2011-2012

I never thought of it that way, but it's true. It is kinda Koda Kumi of her!!! lol I love it! I love upbeat stuff, and I LOVE Party Queen so I hope there is a more electronic sound to this album.

It makes me think of shishkabob. I'm going to change its title to that once my iTouch when I get the album.

KYAAA!!!! SUPER exciting >< Can't wait til it release ^^

It's 4 new PVs, the other 4 are the making-ofs as usual, lol.
Lol, I died when I read you comment. But I'm guessing it's a play on the word "shish kebab"
And I'm sure it's a task interlude as usual with the "task" tracks.

lol! OMG!

I love the feel of this album so far too because it's Ayu and I know she's not tacky and I think she will pull this off.

Finally a new album...WHOA!

under the description it said something about 2DVD and then another DVD... did I red that wrong?? 3 DVD's?

And were you seeing blu-ray.. i must be missing it in my haze!

@Zeke: LOL YES THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THINK. Now I'm hungry.

It also says "and 2-3 more tracks" on the DVD...so there will probably be more...

BUT! Still no dates... o.O

^^What are you talking about? March 21st

I am so glad it comes out in March because my boyfriend is in Japan until late March so he may be able to pick this up for me!!!!!!!!!!!! *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

LOL.. i was liek WHERE I CANT SEE IT..

its in the picture.. I
m still wondering what is on this 2nd DVD though...

I ask for a mix of both. I do love a smidgen of cheese with my pop music.

one DVD is album PVS, the other is CDL 2011-2012

It says it right there lol

:yes, exactly.

We we already know of one ballad.. it wouldn't be an ayu album without 3 two 4!

Yeah.. but if you look in the picture the limited edition says CD + 2dvd and special Live DVD.. thats 3 dvds...

That Serenade in A minor is undoubtedly a ballad, too.

hehehehehehee so excited! I havent heard anything from this album, nor will I until I receive my copy

True, there is bound to be more than one ballad! That's alright though! I'm sure they'll be wonderful! :)

Also, Life Style Book is now March 21st as well? I am smiling from ear to ear!

Oh wow. Well this release date is kinda bogus I mean what in the Hell, lol. 2 MONTHS AWAY!?!?!? We've already been waiting a century it seems since we were first informed about her recording. Then waited a century for the announcement and now we have to wait another two centuries for the release? This is all so reminiscent of Rock'n'Roll Circus, including the recordings in London. Hopefully this album won't be a steaming pile of cow sh_t, unlike the former.

Lol, jk (kinda). It's no secret R'n'R was a big letdown to me but I've since calmed down a bit after the rage subsided from all the letdowns. Hoping for a track as epic as Microphone. Doesn't seem we will be getting many rock songs on this album :(

Looking like a mix between NEXT LEVEL and R'n'R to me. NEXT LEVEL had recordings in the U.S., and Serenade in A minor reminds me of Curtain Call. Well both NEXT LEVEL and R'n'R are my least favorite Ayu albums (well FIVE is at the bottom actually). Hopefully it will be one big surprise though.

I...kinda feel like that's a typo, but we'll see...

It wouldn't be pop without it :)

taskebab?? LOL. sound like "taste kebab"~~LOL :) But can't wait for it :)

OMG! ME TOO! I love rock Ayu so much! Microphone was amazing! It doesn't appear that that will be happening...but hey, you never know! Her track titles are deceiving sometimes!

MAN i hope not! I want extra DVDness!

look at those prices! thats crap.. only 50 yen more for the blu-ray,m lol!

How legit is this?

OMFG IT'S SOOOOO UNEXPECTED

it wouldn't be the first time a title track had no PV.. which is sad really!

^ TA announcement legit?

RIGHT when I gave up for an announcement... she announces it lol.

It is... odd to me, but it catches my interests. Hopefully this album will be awesome.

LOL it's anything but :P

^ so expensive >.< I'm gunna buy instead both CD+DVD and only CD to give her 2 sales in oricon rather than 1 that costs me 230 dollars

We could get a pop rock song like Humming 7/4. But, I think this is going to be a fun pop album. Her last few albums have usually stuck to a genre theme; Next Level was supposedly electronic, RnRC was rock, Love songs was mellow ballads, Five was artsy and now a pop album.

the pictures with the info on it is that legit?

R'n'R Circus is probably the least rock album she has ever had. GUILTY and Secret were way more rock. Hell even I am... was more rock than that. Lol. With Ayu's albums it always seems to be that whatever you expect something to be, it's probably the complete opposite.

omg!!!! SO EXCITING!!!!!
4 MVs is a little underwhelming but then again...she has been giving 4 new MVs for every album. this sudden-ness is definitely very Kuu lol..everything is out at once.
i think there's just 12 full songs though... [taskebab], [a cup of tea] feel like interludes..
[Return Road] is gonna be the rock song i guess?? most of the titles feel kinda ballad-y lol

kinda happy that the 2DVD is HOTEL Love songs since I dont think I would want the blu-ray considering i watched it once thru USTREAM.

CANT WAIT TO PREORDER ALREADY!!!!!!!

AND LOL...so Party queen really has no PV :P

o.O.. i think Iam is going a bit far with that.. lol..

But woudl avex really release this and AAA on the same day? That is directed competition with themselves!

I hope that this album will have great sales :D

It might, there are still 2-3 undetermined DVD tracks...

Betting DVD 1 are the PVs/making-ofs and DVDs 2 & 3 are the concert, not undetermined tracks.

I think the last 3 songs listed are the interludes for this album.

^ but the DVD is being advertise has the Live DVD with 2 dvd's.. so its a total of 4 dvds!

totally confused
CD = music
DVD = PVs
2DVD = CDL2011~2012
LiveDVD/bluray = ???????????????? (Power of Music?)

A minor is way of singing though...I feel like this track would definitely have vocals.

woo can't wait to order this.

SO MUCH FUN PLEASE

OMG HOW MUCH I WAITED FOR THIS T____T

but she recorded 12 new songs...so...
maybe just 2.
ok yea..Serenade in A minor sounds more possible for an interlude lol..didnt cross my mind.

I seriously doubt serenade in A minor is an interlude.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_minor

wait, am I wrong? LOL now I'm confused as to what A Minor is... never mind me!

The titles definitely remind me of Koda Kumi songs lol--so excited!! Can't wait to see the covers! I hope the digital single for how beautiful you are will have a really nice cover

Im hoping there are only 2 interludes.. and thank goodness.. No HAPPENING HERE!!

DVD 1 are the PVs, and DVD 2 (& 3) is the concert split onto two discs. No way can they fit the entire concert on one DVD. Look at MY STORY and other concert DVDs.

maybe "Return Road" is the continuation of "Virgin Road"? Maybe....

^ Yes I know... but if you look at the picture, on the Live side it says there are 2 DVD's... and with the CD its 2 dvd's.. so thats 4 dvds

It's unexpected in terms of title and album tracks names, sorry, my bad. xD
I was hoping for something more upbeat but I was quite conformed already with a love album xD It's really surprising to me seeing that my dream is coming true hahahahaha

Looking forward to it. I hope they actually do some promotion for it this time:irked

ahaha, that's exactly what I thought when I first heard R'n'R Circus!

You're thinking into it too much. The text states 【CD+DVD+2DVD】and 【DVD-1】にはロンドンで撮り下ろされた3曲を含むミュージック・クリップ4曲とそれらのメイキング・ク リップの 未発表8トラックを豪華収録！さらに【DVD-2＆3】には、2011年大晦日に開催されたばかりの最新ライヴ「ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2011-2012 ～HOTEL Love songs～」を完全収録！！

Anyway, I wasn't too fond of Party queen at CDL, and didn't bother with How beautiful you are after hearing the boring preview. With 14 tracks, I'll treat it as worst case scenario: 4 interludes, that's 10 new tracks. 10-2 (Party queen and Hbya) = 8. Shave off 2 more tracks I might find boring and that means a total of 6 tracks I'll like, with room for love to grow on the tracks I don't. Hm, to be even more safe, I'll pretend there are 4-5 songs I will like. Lol.

Omg....party queen? She couldn't come up with a better title?? Lol. Nevertheless I am.....STOKED!!!!!

So what you are saying is that the pciture is a misprint?

so it IS the POWER of MUSIC tour for the limited edition box. well then - I guess I'll just purchase that one.

these titles are insane <<' i hope the songs are good.

good to know there wont be any physical singles =) and yay, 10 days before my birthday!!!

If you took that picture literally, that would mean DVD+2DVD+2DVD of CDL. That is 5 DVDs. No way is this album coming with 5 DVDs. Lol. Like I said, refer to the text.

Serenade in A Minor is too weird for a song name, if it's a full song, it would be better if it's just Serenade. This is another example for Serenade for Strings in B Minor, old classic.

These are some interesting titles.

I WANT TO HEAR THIS RIGHT NOW!!

My anticipation has just gone through the roof lol

taskebab
ayu, gurl. what is that title.

oh well, can't wait. :)

Where do you get that from?

Oh, I suppose it could be 1 DVD are PVs, 2 DVD is CDL and the other 2 DVD is Power of Music...? But there is no mention of Power of Music in the text - just CDL...?
