Hmm, interesting, sounds nice. I'm glad she's doing things. I'm so curious about these songs lol

Ohhh..great that she's promoting A ONE!
Can't wait to hear this album :)

I'm sure someone will record radio broadcasting ^_____^
Will it be one song for each town?..

Wow. She's actually promoting shit? Finally.

Right? You could knock me over with a feather.

omg she might even go on TV!!

6 new songs? Wait... Not 8 songs? So that means the other 2 are interludes.

and now we have it, 6 new songs including one from TK, Tetsuya Yukumi, JJ.. :3

the other two songs being interludes are probably a safe bet. however, if it is fairly certain that we'll get decent quality rips from these events over a month in advance of the album release, perhaps they'll hold out on two songs. Colours was leaked ridiculously early, so who knows.

wow, that's great! But who's gonna pre-listen to the songs, people there or on the radio?

*writes expression down for future reference*

Good strategy but we're not even one month from the release date so I hope it won't blew the album's performance on Oricon :)

She could attend at some TV shows btw

People at each event.

Is this the real life or is this fanta sea

Definitely Fanta Sea.

This concept is new to Ayu, but not really overall...any other artists doing something like this?

Just this week Acid Black Cherry for example.

I always thought this would be better for Ayu! She can really connect with fans and other people, rather than just stand and look pretty as a distant pop diva.

I think she did this back during LOVEppears, too.

I don't think we've gotten rips from any of the previous release parties that have been held for Ayu, tbh. I'm dying to see what the breakdown of the tracklist is!

It's not new to Ayu; she's done this before.

She used to do radio promotion before

glad that she do it again

bitch finally getting her act together

really early that the songs are gonna be previewed haha..
I'm guessing the album is gonna be on itunes one week before 8th April

Omg I was so excited to read this!!!
Immediately signed up for the Nagoya one.
Seems they only pick about 200 people though..
Hope I'll be one of them!

so glad that she's finally doing promotion again! Hoping for tv performances!!

Lmao.

Don't get your hopes too high, it's possible that her next TV live will be in December on Music Station if she keeps releasing singles on Christmas eve. She seems to be very reluctant to appear on TV these years.

Lucky TeamAyu members will be invited to advanced listening to "A ONE" album and ayu's special talk show!

Was it Colours?

Signed for the Osaka event. Now again, fingers crossed. :luv2

+1

maybe this app required https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...oid.lineplayer

^ It says "For Android versions 3.0 and later, live videos broadcast through official accounts are viewable even without installing the LINE Live Player." ;)

I think we can just watch it with the normal Line app.

but how to watch it?

i don't even know how to get het updates on LINE. i downloaded it just to see her posting things but i really don't know how :no

^ You mean you don't know how to join her official account?

Go to: More > Official Accounts > Select Country: Japan > Search by ID or name: 浜崎あゆみ.
At least, that's how it works on iPhone.

I've never used line. Don't even know what it is. Maybe I'll check it out! I only joined twitter in the first place to follow her. Lol

Thank you, it worked for android as well:-)
I'm a little bit confused: do they literally mean that Ayu's coming to these cities?? I can't imagine how she'll manage to travel between two cities during one day with 3-4 hours gap...

But by bullet train, Osaka to Fukui is less than two hours and Nagoya to Shizuoka is only about an hour. It's more than doable.

yes that was what i meant! :yes thank you for your help! ^^

Wow that's great promotion!

Fans can go those few places to listen first!! I want too~!!

Signed up for the Nagoya one LOL I hope i can get picked. Erikku keep
us updated just incase we should meet there too

Live broadcast beginning time was changed from 19:30 to 19:00.

i hihly doubt they will preview FULL songs, the most they are probably guving out is 1:30 if that at all.

I've been elected for tomorrow's event in Osaka! I'm so thrilled!! *_*

OMG, that's so awesome! Have fun there:-)

Congratulations!! I hope you can report back here to let us know everything there is to know :D

It's great for you!!! Have a lot of fun!!
and Don't forget us!! If you can share your feelings with us, it would be kind ^_^

Congratulations! Have a fabulous time, and try not to faint in the queen's presence. ;) Looking forward to hearing all about it!

That's great, have fun! ;)
Please tell us about it afterwards.

Can't wait to hear what people's impressions of the new songs are!

Those who pre-purchase new album or DVD/Blu-Ray at this event will receive special live photo from the same event, it will be shipped with their purchase at a later date. The number of photos will be equal to the number of pre-purchased items. It will be a commemorative photo of Ayu with participants of the events, if I understood correctly.

Three hours or so until the first event!

I'm so excited!!!

Ok it finishdd just now.She was beautiful!! There was even Zin and another dance I don't remember the name. Before she came on stage the.six previews were played. here what I remember:



she even ebtered in the front row of the public to take.a.picture with her fans!! It was so amazing! :)

Ps: I'm still in the mall so I'm not going to re-check the post sorry. I hope my english makes.sense :p

Okay, I'm officially excited! :luv2

Saaaame.


Thanks so much YuraiNamida!!!

I'm super duper excited now. Totally can't wait for the official release date

Excited to hear the preview and the album!

Anyway the last song that I didn't remember, was a

Sounds like we're in for amazing things! Can't wait.

It's only +8°C at Osaka today. Don't know how ayu not shaking %) http://www.daily.co.jp/newsflash/gos...07775348.shtml

まずは新曲の感想。
やばいですよー。ジャンル豊富。そして、新曲の中にあゆ史上最も力強いと感じた1曲があって、聴いてるあい だ鳥肌立ちっぱなし。歌詞が印象的すぎた。あゆ強いな！って。
バラードもいくつか。とにかく良い！

Japanese fan impressions.

Lots of genres, one song in particular has impact of 'the history of Ayu' and lyrics are especially good this time around.

lol ayu is on fire
I'm really glad that she does these kind of promotions for the album

Some pics from Daily Sports !

Thanks YuraiNamida for the review!! I really can't wait to listen to The gift ! <3

Gorgeous.

I wonder if the new album covers will feature ayu's latest haircut. It would be amazing.

she mentioned cover and magazine shooting at TA post
but I don't know what to expect. She used hair extention at JJ concert, so she can also use it at shooting

Sounds like we're getting more ballads on the album than anything else, ugh. But I'm looking forward to Warning!

Ayu is promoting and attending crowd meetings, that's trully great. I can't wait to hear previews of songs!

I don't know if you can see this pic my friend managed to take when she was leaving the stage. She is so sweet really, she tried to weave to everyone during the interview, even people on the second floor. I was able to make her noticing me when she was serious and listening the question looking in my direction and I started to jump and weave and she waved back! I can't describe how much happy I was! I don't know if I could bear the emotion if I was in the first row when she came in the public to take the pictures. lol

Here the pic: Ayu Osaka Special Event

I think we can expect a LOVE again-type of album, with songs like snowy kiss and Wake me up popping up here and there.

aww..ayu is really nice to her fans. I wish I can meet her sometime in the future

Omg I want to listen to the previews so bad! *_*

So excited!

Why we have some pics but no audio recording of previews? I'm really curious and excited :P

she looks so pretty!

Oh my god I can't wait for the A ONE *exciting*

Japanese never record :(

First of all thank you for your little review!!!^_^
God this album seems to be a gem. I really like the titles of the songs. I need it!!! I want to listen to it. The waiting'll be hard!!

Look how perfect this motherfxxxxx is.

can't stop listening to Story...i really like this ballad...

P.S. There will be a broadcast covering Osaka event on Osaka FM on March 3rd. I hope someone records it.

There's no image...what happened?

Does anyone know where the event in Tokyo is tonight? And if it's public?

edit: oh never mind, I think there's no event in Tokyo. Sorry!

According to her twitter, she wasn't in time for the shinkansen to Tokyo because of roadblocks in Sendai. She took another one but she might be a little late for the Line Live Cast.

I just let it run while surfing and take a few Screens on my phone xD Unfortunatly I forgot to take one while she had her Jacket on ><

They're going to run the previews now
