POWER of MUSIC live recording to be released
 

It seems that in the flurry of news, we missed out on this piece of information from yesterday's update.

http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/news/120201_2.html

This essentially says that due to high demand from fans, they will be releasing the live audio recording of POWER of MUSIC with the full orchestra rearrangements at some point in the near future. More details are to come.

They're really planning a lot of releases... I guess this makes up for the relative quiet after FIVE, don't you think?

Oh that's cool! *O*
Thank's for the info.

wow another release lols..
i thought they would release like piano score or something.

Wait so it's a live recording?...

I'd -rather- have studio versions, lol. But I'll still enjoy them. The arrangements were great.

Pretty sure it is... '音源配信' seems to imply the sound from the concert/live.

Studio versions would be great though! We wouldn't get all the applause in the songs, lol.

thats nice!! hopefully wont be released on march 21st or near this date.

God, I'm broke.

but I will definitely buy this if they really release this. :D

Happy!!! I want this!! Hope they'll put all new re-arrangements (M included) & not only the song from the DVD tracklist!!

My dreams are coming true this week!! XD

I'll go and rob a bank...

i hope for accoustic orchestra album...

XD
Maybe, they'll release it after the album!

is this in an album form? like MY STORY Classical? or in DVD form?

The DVD and Blu-ray is a separate release and will be out the same day as Party Queen.

This is pretty cool! I loved her last live album that she had!

I think it will be only chaku-uta

lol if it's not a studio version why are u all getting so excited? lol

(if it was, then i predicted something lol )

^

Nooo don't crush my dreams. XD

Dear live CD,

Please come out in August or something, when we've had time to save up for you.

Yours sincerely,

Kendelle's bank account.

I was hoping for this, the DVD is too expensive and we don't have a bluray player yet. :)

Waw ! Great news, I hope it will be a real album and not a digital release =)
It will be her first live audio album isn't it ?

This sounds cool !!

I really wished for that, please please let it be a real CD.:D

lol xD I agree with your bank account

second CD with NEXT LEVEL was live audio album

oh my god i can actually afford this now! ;_;

I don't think they would keep it to chaku-uta... plus there's money to be made here! (Well, even more in addition to the new album+photobook+book+PLAYBUTTONS+POWER of MUSIC Blu-ray/DVD...)

Man, avex is really asking a lot of Ayu fans XD;

OK it's a live recording, but maybe they would take the sound directly from the instruments + Ayu's microphones, so that there would be a better/clearer sound, and less audience's noises.

i would be really excited about this, except i was really disappointed with the CDL release that came along with NEXT LEVEL.

it honestly wasn't much higher in quality than a standard fan rip from the concert. :shrug i was really hoping for something that sounds much better. maybe they will do a better job this time.

also, as much as i love ayu live, i really would prefer something studio, or at least if they can touch up her vocals.

i want to be excited about this, but i'm more worried i will be disappointed again.

If this released as a CD, I will definitely buy it. I wish she released a live CD for all of her concerts.

I'm kind of confused this is like if she sung a song live that is a different version from the cd and it'll be without the fans cheering.


Like memorial address in arena tour 03 04 without the fans cheering?

I wish they included songs from the previous tour dates such as NEVER EVER. The arrangement was so beautiful...

so ,it will be LIVE recording album? I can't wait!http://r11.imgfast.net/users/1111/10...les/918536.gif

Yes! This is just what I wanted

I want this!!!

Because her voice is Epic in this concert... not ifs ands or buts.

Whoa... This is interesting...

I wish it was different dates, like for example the sound recording of the 24th July at Yoyogi, her voice there was awesome, even better than the LIMITED EDITION. Also, if they release it from the same concert as the dvd.. it would be silly, we can just rip the audio of the DVD. I hope they do something different

^ this is true...

Maybe they might add some different songs that were not on the DVD?

xD

I wonder if it will be released alone or coupled with something..
i personally am not a fan of live albums but i'll still listen to it...

She really is making up for somewhat of a dry year last year..

We did get 4 remix albums though!

Why do I have a feeling this is gonna be on March 21st too, or somewhere nearby? Maybe they'll release it to coincide with the earthquake anniversary or the first PoM concert.

^ the website said at a later date... so lets hope for at least a month after!

OMG!!

So much release from ayu...

I'm broke...

This is getting insane. LOL will be interesting though. Do we know which arrangements were changed? How about the tracklist? (I know the tracklist for this isn't out, obvi, but the setlist for the PoM tour...)

^ i hope they include some of the other tracks that were not on the DVD!

^^why would they? lol

because they have them and they love us! :D

FIXED :lech

^ lol

If they don't put the missing songs on the DVD/Bluray they definitely CAN put them on the album since the audio feeds ARE there. I hope they do. I wanna hear fairyland and Love Song.

Yeah! I would perfer them as extras or something on the DVD, but if not I can take the CD version
Maybe a 2 CD version with all the extra songs on it.

what?!! I missed this news!!!

wow I really want to buy this album!

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Damn, my wallet is getting totally raped first quarter 2012. Good thing my apartment gave me a free month so I don't have to pay rent. LOL :D

I love live CDs, so I'm definitely getting this sometime in the future! I just hope it'll be a while after Party Queen, can't afford both right away...

Which tracks had different arrangements and stuff? Do we know?

^ i was just thinking of the songs that she performed during the concert series.. there is a list somewhere on here!

as far i know vogue and far away (very latin american sound)
i think this concert have a lot of new arrangements in the set list

Here's the setlist:

01.forgiveness
02.progress
(A Song for XX: Prelude)
03.M
04.decision
(Catcher In The Light)
05.walking proud
06.part of Me
07.beloved
08.BRILLANTE
(overture)
09.Days
10.ANother song feat URATA NAOYA
11.Why... feat JUNO
12.vogue
13.Far away
14.SEASONS
(WONDERLAND)
15.Bold & Delicious
16.Mirrorcle World
17.evolution
18.Boys & Girls
19.Born To Be...
20.A Song is born
21.Thank U

I'd be REALLY excited if vogue, Far away, SEASONS, forgiveness, M, and maybe evolution and Boys & Girls got new arrangements...!

From that setlist, this is what I think:

01.forgiveness Will be included
02.progress Might be included Because it means so much for Ayu and her supporting her country. Maybe they should include the Kouhaku performance with this one instead. So ppl can hear her sing nippon.
(A Song for XX: Prelude)
03.M Will be included
04.decision Don't think it will be included
(Catcher In The Light)
05.walking proud Might be included, her vocals was awesome here
06.part of Me Might be included
07.beloved Will probably be included, good vocals, fitting lyrics for the contexture.
08.BRILLANTE Don't think it will be included
(overture)
09.Days Don't think it will be included
10.ANother song feat URATA NAOYA Don't think it will be included
11.Why... feat JUNO Don't think it will be included
12.vogue Will be included
13.Far away Will be included
14.SEASONS Will be included
(WONDERLAND)
15.Bold & Delicious Will probably be included Very different, but it may not be included because of the fact that this song is fun to watch live, not so much while listening on a cd...?
16.Mirrorcle World Might be included Souded good live and new arrangement.
17.evolution Hmm, tricky... But... Might not be included Not her best vocals (in comparison with the rest of the concert) and the arrangement is not very different from the original.
18.Boys & Girls Hmm, tricky... But... Might not be included Same as evolution + a very long and annoying outro.
19.Born To Be... Will probably be included Nice interaction with the audience yet still easy to hear the song for the cd.
20.A Song is born Will be included Naturally
21.Thank U Oh dear god please no


EDIT: Oh btw, is this CD supposed to be FROM the live or just the songs with their new arrangements recorded again in studio?

It's supposed to be ripped from the concert audio I think. The wording they use seems to indicate that they will be using the concerts as the source.

Since they used "LIMITED EDITION" in the news update, I suppose that we won't get any of the tracks that got scrapped from the final setlist. (fairyland, blossom, BLUE BIRD, Love song, monochrome, etc.)

Stupendous news! This'll save all the hassles of ripping the audio from the concert and making the mp3 rips :)

._. live Album *sigh*
is it new to make some Live Albums? First Kumi now ayu o.O why >-<

^There is nothing new with live albums no. They have been around for like forever. But I LOOOVE live albums! They are amazing and lovely.~

^but POM was so scary for my ears....that cant be an awesome album ._.

^Nothing avex magic cant fix.
So bummed Ls won't be on it. I need to hear this different arrangement of the best song of all time.

why would they include days, beloved, why..., another song, etc if they dont have any different arrangement than the original ones?

so lucky I dont like live albums, so Imma pass this

but they didn't fix CDL when the released it with NEXT LEVEL. :(

I'm excited about old songs with new arrangements!

I'm so excited about this! I loved the new arrangements of the songs for PoM!

They should really include the scrapped songs for incentive to buy both the concert and this.

I can't wait to get the PoM live CD

I loved her vocals in this concert

So I just realized this, but it says "配信" which means digital...

So I'm thinking this will be a digital release...

^ huh, digital? again? oooookay
avex just don't want to bother themselves!!!!!! why print a physical cd if they can sell it digitally arggghhhh :headache

well. I'm still interested ^______^

That would be disappointing. I wonder if it'll be released on iTunes then?

^ Very possible, and the mu-mo digital service or whatever it is.

It would suck if it's just recochoku and stuff...i don't think it will be though. plus the news is still in its early stages so it can always change.

just figured i'd point that out. haha.

If I understand it right, live recording will be available from 28.03 at iTunes and other stores

im not sure do we get all these (except Blossom) in the DVD? cant wait to listen to Blossom!

wtf? and where's Born to be...?
I also thought this would be a CD... well...
And what did they do with the making of the POWER of MUSIC tour? omg..

and the MCs T____T

Well, there were barely any MCs for the show except for the mini ones that had a chorus or two of random songs. The songs not from the final date imo are more worth it.

oooh 3/28? exciting!

Also, why would anyone want audio of the MCs...?

im confused, so is it just a download thing if you want them?

^^Yeah, it seems like it's gonna be released digitally.

Man, I wanted July 1st.

Oh... at its just those songs??? that kinda sucks...
cant wait for someone to rip the auto from the DVD, that will be 10x better..

I prefer the dvd. I maybe just download this one. Then again, it would be better if its a studio recording, just like that MSC

oh referring to the DVD and the Blu ray release which is no MCs included :o

Avex! Please release this as a physical copy! I would seriously buy every live recording if they released it. Digital download is a bit tougher for me...

same pls...

Cant wait for my disc to make audio rip xD

I'm interested only in blossom

actually your audio always sound the best, much better than the sound from the video usually. i guess you treat them with some special effect then?

I make her vocal sounds louder

A digital release? Aw man...hopefully there will be a legal way for people who don't live in Japan to purchase it :irked

digital release...
I will pass this, I really want the physical CD for this release :(

I'm glad it's NOT a physical release...one less thing I have to buy!

I wonder if we'll can buy only a song.Coz i'm only interested in blossom

I don't know why people are asking for another acoustic album. The last one pretty much sucked. Especially compared to the house and trance albums.
