Something like MY STORY classical? seems nice =)

*Hope no recycle materials from MY STORY though ^^"

OMG this is going to be awesome

That's unexpected! Omg cant wait for the tracklist OMGAAAHHH

OMG

LIFE IS MADE

*dead*

Can we hope for a new track on this? *fingers crossed*

WHOA!!! SURPRISED!!!! I hope she puts in songs that dont have acoustic orchestra/orchestra versions already \^_^/

Love the title. so Classic :D

Is it going to be a compilation? I always hope there will be new vocals when songs are given new arrangements, but probably not. It'd be interesting if it were all new songs, but that, too, is unlikely. Well, anyway--too soon to say.

wow :thud

AHHHH!!! i love classical or orchestra arrangement...
i'm hoping for new vocal as well for her older songs...

I'm so turned off right now.
Turned-off lights have nothing on me.

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
ANOTHER CLASSICAL ALBUM?
DEAR LORD THIS WILL BE SO AMAZING!

I have a self-made compilation album of Ayu's songs which I named "A CLASSICS" in 2011 :D

Guess what I'm getting for my birthday? :D

yay~

Think this gives her a break till the next release..
can't imagine her rushing to produce 3-4 songs a month

I misread the title as “MY STORY Classical” instead of “A CLASSICAL” and I read this on weibo. I thought...this was another fanmade story.:laugh

Holy crap!!!! Yes!!
I hope this means all new mixes!

It's funny how when she released the acoustic orchestra for ayu-mi-x 7, i made a compilation of all my fav classical+orchestra remixes into a cd XD

Awesome! I loved My Story Classical so I'm excited to see what this album has.

looks like our holiest dream come true *-*

wish for some great pieces of her newer discography like
Love Song, is this LOVE?, You were..., NEXT LEVEL, momentum & Together When...

I'm kind of indifferent towards this. Really hoping for nice covers, I would love it if they did a pastel color scheme again like A BALLADS the packaging and booklet etc. was so nice.

This sounds like A WINTER BEST for me but in another name.

All good to me! Love the title.

woot!! XD i love my story classical~~~~ :D so excited for this! X) omg please give me amazing music! :3

Sweeeeeeet. I love classical arrangements!!

it's a "NEW ALBUM"
so at least comes with new arrangement and some new track

Hopefully some new tracks with lots of new mixes from songs that have not been classicalized yet!

OMG She is on a ROLL...:D

AYUMI fans = HAPPY fans

WHAT IS LIFE I CAN'T EVEN HURRY UP AND COME OUT ALREADY

YES OMFG



please please. count down. please.

OMFG I remember I've ever heard Rule - Classical version.....it's awesome !!!

It better be new songs.
Im probably the only one not here for this.
Solidarity Pride!

u mean for the remix contest on AHS?


I hope microphone is in it ^^

Since it is a new album then we probably wont have orchestra versions that were already released, right? She could do like she did in A BALLADS... Some new vocals, some rearregenments... And who knows a new song/a cover? Already digging for a Microphone classical version omg

This is what I REALLY need, I remember made a poll that should Ayu release another classical album and it turned out become real. Hopefully this is not a compilation of her acoustic orchestra version included in her singles and mini-albums.

Judging from the price, there should be more than 12 tracks.

Oh, hopefully there will be DVD Audio version!

wow that version is stellar!!
I hope we get a good mix of her songs :D
Somehow I think BLUE BIRD and Days will make it LOL

YES!! YES!! YES!!
http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb8n6rx3eJ1rsxic9.gif

Wasn't blue bird on the ayumix 7?? I would kill for all new mixes of new songs!!

:love this one is amazing but the version I heard is really flawless:(

Avex should employ the person who did that Rule arrangement.

^yup = =

I can't wait to see the tracklist for this. Will she choose from every album?

And I wonder if it will include those gorgeous arrangements of interludes like MS CLASSICAL did with WONDERLAND and Catcher in the Light. But that'd probably be asking too much lol.

Ugh, I just need a tracklist.

They were asking people on TA about their favorite ayu songs, werent they? imo it's very likely that's how they're making up the tracklist for this...

Sweet! I was expecting another mini-album but I'm all for this!

thats great!!

Yes!! Awesome idea! But then it makes me wonder if we're getting a full length album or 5 -7 tracks. Also, this would probably not work on a A best 3 or the mini-album compilation we're all suspecting to be released later. Maybe there won't be a compilation then?

Oh, no! I hope not... That would just be more remixes of songs we already have... But I thought that poll was opened to remixes as well!

my ears are ready to be delighted by amazing arrangements and instrumentals

prays Return Road is on it

This is so exciting!
But I hope it's not based on fan selection because undervalued jewels like ever free never get a chance...

Hurray for... new cover art/photoshoot to look at. Not gonna lie, this doesn't excite me much, but I will listen to it when it comes out.

Oh my gosh, unexpected and HUGE YES.
MY STORY CLASSICAL is amazing <3

FINALLY?!!?

yeah' but i hate this "orchestra" album... i like more her normal way for AOV...

so i don't think BLUE BID has a chance to be on A CLASSICAL

HOLY COW
This is the best anniversary ever. avex take all of my money, I will not complain.

I'm still seeing a huge box set after this is over...

Can't wait... ><

^ I hope I won't regret buying the individual albums :)

If they do I know I'm buying it even if I have all the others... I'm a collector, lol.. i love box sets! ^_^.
I really hope they put you and me on there... Awww.

I really hope there's Bold & Delicious! I'd love to see how that song would be with an orchestra!

Ah :) Looking forward to this release very much

Hoping it's a full orchestra like MY STORY classical. <3

She will probably have at least one new original orchestral track which should be interesting. Here's to hoping.

I don't really believe ROCK songs should have orchestral arrangement (never understood why people wanted that) but a soft classical version of evolution would be nice! re-recorded. Orchestral JEWEL would be wonderful.

well.. thanks god it's not just compilation of the same old songs

The orchestral evolution and BLUE BIRD from ayumix 7 were kind of bland, so here's to hoping they get a second chance.

I really liked the BLUE BIRD arrangement from Power of Music.

They totally need to make this a two cd set...

Yes that was gorgeous!

I wonder if they'd be able to make classical arrangements of songs in only a few months if the poll on TA was for this?

And I wonder if it will use a full orchestra or if it'll be simulated?

And if she did include a new song, that'd be really cool. Kylie Minogue released a new song on her Abbey Road Sessions album, so it's possible.

I'm really excited. :)

They should've said what the fans would be picking for before they released what type of album is was. We might get an album full of Classical fan favorites...that are different classical/orchestra versions of songs we already have........I really hope this isn't the case. I WANT NEW CLASSICAL/ORCHESTRA SONGS!!!

I think some songs already ready )) like evolution... maybe seasons or dearest

^OMFG if they use evolution(ASIA TOUR 2007 version)
I will buy it = =

I want Because of you!!!!

That means a CLASSICAL ORCHESTRAL remix
not bad though, better than A BEST 3 as rumor

omg orchestra version of because of you.......PLEASE.

Lol, like I said I don't get the orchestral rock stuff. I mean, I love orchestral rock but not a flat out orchestral version of a rock song. It takes away all the POWER. In classical versions, I want something calming, sad, and beautiful (like walking proud on MY STORY Classical). Because of you is amazing because of the POWER in that song. Same goes for is this love? - I absolutely love that song due to it's heavy arrangement and amazing guitar bridge - an orchestra version would just seem... flat.

My body is so ready for this

If this is anything like MY STORY Classical...I have no words to express my excitement for that!!! :banana1 :banana2

Oh wow that would be awesome! The Classical version of GAME is one of my favorite tracks off of MY STORY Classical. I love hearing rock or non-typical songs rearranged classically! It adds such a different, awesome flavor to them.

Mines too, it's amazing. One of my favorite tracks off the My Story classical album.

^ yeah'

and maybe some tracks we can't really imagine how they would sounds like

BRILLIANTE
until that Day...
Last angel
Don't look back
It was (<- this definitely will turn out great)
Free & Easy

*-*

etc

"MY STORY Classical" was 50/50 with me
Hopefully "A CLASSICAL" will be super good
Still, least excited for this release so far

IF WE GET THE VERSION OF "evolution" FROM ASIA TOUR 2007 I'M SOLD FOR THA TONE TRACK

if they do it right, they can get some amazing tracks from rock songs. Or they need to take a totally different approach on them. It depends.

----

hmmm this whole thing sounds interesting, and i like the idea. So glad it's not some useles trance, dance bla bla remix. But still i'm more for NEW songs not new arangements, but oh well, lets wait and see how that turns out *shrugs*

Ooooooh, exciting news!!! So curious to the songs she will choose! Thank you for making my morning!

there are soooo many songs that I want to be on this!
Thats why I WISH/HOPE/NEED this to be a 2 disk set... although, it wont happen... :*(

Yet GAME classical was prolly the most amazing piece on MY STORY Classical next to Catcher In The Light.

OMG :luv2

JAPAN & AHS, PREPARE TO EARGASM.

now i'm ready for very CLASSICAL covers. revive the diva Ayu! she's really slaying everything omg :love

Amazing! can't wait for the tracklist!

did u guys think this is the reason why she is actually in paris?
because if i'm right the orchestra for MY STORY ~Classical~ was in paris too?
Lamoreux Orchestra (or somthing similiar...)

^could be? wow that's a classical place to shoot a new mv. :love

so by any chance, again was recorded during early november? (she went to LA right? well that might be the case)

New vocals for everything would be amazing!

OMG!!! I waited for this kind of album since a long time. I'm so glad that she release a new classical album.

so excited!!! :D Haven't had an orchestral album in YEARS... unexpected... but I'm so pleased!! I prefer orchestral over remix tracks.

I remember liking GAME at the time and thinking the same thing but I went to listen to it and I find it just sounds off. I don't know the vocals do not sound "ONE" with the orchestra - maybe if it was a studio-live or re-recorded for the orchestra version. But, I don't like the part from :52 onward until the vocals come in. Then it just keeps doing that craziness in and out of the song and I don't like it. Wish there was a re-do on the vocals or even take the vocals out completely and have piano or something. walking proud is the best thing on MY STORY Classical :yes

Idk, I guess I don't like "chaotic" orchestra. I love dramatic orchestra and there are parts I LOVE in that GAME mix, but even listening to that Rule mix - it's too "chaotic"

Wow I didn't see this coming. I cannot say how this is going to fare, sales-wise. Nevertheless I'm very excited because that Rule excerpt is awesome.

that would be amazing if it were true!!
I need a track list!!

Not really what I wanted but I can't help being a bit excited for this! :)

@truehappiness New vocals for this classical album would be PERFECT but is there enough time to rerecord new vocals i wonder???

It seemed like this was the direction she was going in. I'm excited to hear what this classical album has in store for us. :)

eh...

I don't really want new vocals...unless she's going to sing them extremely differently.

OMG, okay Ayu next you should release the studio version from A POWER OF MUSIC
then I can rest in peace.

Well A BALLADS have the best version of A Song for XX in my opinion at least
So i am really hoping on hearing something new and different which could be a double edge sword in the end.
Well if we can take the POWER OF MUSIC tour as an example of acoustic or classical iterations of how the new CLASSICAL album might sound like then i guess why not
I want my TRILOGY arrangement and those vocals, the legit studio version <3
