07. Out of control

I wonder when are they going to ship out the TA box set (first timer on TA set)...

its Saturday..can the album leak Please ><

^Seriously. I can't wait to receive my TA box, either. I want to hear the new version of Tell all!

Mumo still says waiting to ship on my TA box...aaaah I can't wait!

Since we mostly know the beginnings of the new songs I still hope for some nice bridges.

Mine still says waiting for shipment on TA shop.

According to the lyrics, Anything for You and possibly NO FUTURE might have vocal bridges. The Yukumi songs don't tho (but most of his songs don't tbh). Instrumental bridges might be interesting in many of the songs.

i agree!

last year, TA members could download CoLOURS entierly 1 month before the release date. that was so great! why didn't they do that for A ONE?:irked

...because they actually seem to be doing things right this time and are drumming up interest for the album on/around its release date?

I'm personally glad we don't already have the full leak.

We already have 2 full new tracks with all the PV. That's way enough.

And I won't even receive a physical copy until a couple of months.

I agree.

I also hope for some bridges in the songs! Those are some of the best parts of her songs!

Exactly!!
I remember I wasn't hyped at all for colours when it came out. Once I got lelio in full I didn't care about anything else that came after.

We got long previews month before release. That was very nice

Aiyyaa, This wait.

Am I the only one who was equally excited for Colours?

I think releasing Colours for the TA one month before the actual release was one of the worst ideas ever. I'm really glad they're caring much more about the record this time, it's nice they're uploading one song per day on her YouTube channel. :yes I have high expectations for A ONE.

^No, I definitely was too. Maybe even more so because I knew about the western DJs doing the tracks. That album is fire, except maybe for WIFL.

I'm really excited for this album though I'm a bit bummed Tell All will only be on the TA version. The box set is so expensive (for just wanting the album).

My mu-mo status "出荷待ち" >_<

And with the expected date of delivery stated お届け予定日→ 2015/04/07

I really love Out of control!

Where in TA shop can you see the status of an order? I clicked order status and put in my order number and telephone number but it says Its wrong, but its not.

edit: just kidding, supposed to be tenso phone number.

I don't undertand why in differents songs sound the same melody of others songs What the hell? this is boring. Anything For ~Your Walk~
this album have too more ballads for my taste.
*waiting for 2016 album*

Ayu really seems to be going back to her roots with this album.

Out of control is p e r f e c t.

My sentiments exactly.

It has this somber feeling to it...It's emotional but not "depressing". It's weird... It's one of those songs I'll listen to on a bus ride, staring out the window and reflecting on life lol

Goodness. Fifth thread already and another song posted on YouTube. :D

I've waited for too long, hope the album leaks within the next 24 hours

Its time to leak, go chinese #justkidding

My copy will take too long, brazil sucks for this

^I know, I'm anxious for it now! lol

oh god yes, please.

According to the official website, A One has 11 tracks only, Movin' on without you is not in this album.

Why the list here has 12 tracks?

http://avex.jp/ayu/discography/detail.php?id=1009626

Official website did not update the tracklist.

TeamAyu version will have 13 tracks.

Am I the only one who thinks the "new version" of Tell All will be almost exactly the same? Maybe just a little bit cleaner? I really hope I'm wrong tho...

It will be different. It's intended to be a rearrangement, possibly even resung.

The English version on her site leaves this out, however.

Oh thanks for that! I never actually saw the Japanese version before, you've reassured me haha!

The PVs are so good this time around (at least aesthetically) that I really hope they'll release some kind of CM!

That is GREAT news! I can't wait.

I wonder just what will be changed though...

It'll just be made into a ballad

:D

Rearranged by Yuta.

I mean...

I hope it's not an entirely different arrangement. I'm hoping for a slight reworking like the A BEST ver. of Boys & Girls or the 2003 Rebirth mixes on A BALLADS.

Isn't tasuku more likely since... I THINK Yuta did the original arrangement?

:laugh

$5 funbucks says this

That would be an improvement lol

Ok, i really wish that they dont change the vibe of tell all

No no, it was just a joke after Anything for you drama... :D

I don't think tell all will be a drastic change. I'm thinking more like SEASONS ---> SEASONS "2003 reBirth mix" and not like Daybreak album version ---> Daybreak "HALs mix"

They bring the CM guy back right?

^sounds like him, yeah.

too short...CM is too short

But they're always 15 seconds. Sometimes 30 but mostly 15...

Cool CM, made me more excited about the album lol.
Why hasn't leaked already, like seriously.

I'm praying hard for mine will reach my doorstep (Malaysia) without any drama >.<

I think it might get leaked tomorrow?

Crap. Out of Control is really good.

Man, this album is a total rollercoaster for me. There's the snooze fests aka Anything for You, The Gift, Walk, Zutto...then then theres WARNING, Out of Control, NO FUTURE, Last Minute, hell even Movin' on without you...Ayu really has my feelings all over the place haha. I haven't felt like this since...Long songs. I think I'm just seriously loving how Ayu goes back to her roots for this.

I second that :yes I love this era Ayu so much more than last year

I found a link. http://filebehind.com/231435 It seems like you can download the new album Ayu. But I didn`t download, maybe it's fake?

It's definitely fake. I mean, look how they ask to complete a survey to download the album. And the comments are weird lol

At this point, I kinda wish we get the album as closer as possible to the release.

Too bad! :(

Anything for You is very nice sounding, as is Out of Control. These are some solid, pretty songs. The only thing is...Anything for You is a little identical to Walk, but I actually loved Walk so much that I'm not too bothered by this...

But, I really love Out of Control. It obviously has a similar sound to some of the "filler" songs of Party Queen, but in a good, improved, way. :D

There are no filler songs on Party Queen -_- I agree tho, it has that feel.

I love the concept of the song. She's out of control. Not in a crazy, rebellious way, but rather she has no control of her emotions. They aren't working as they should be. Which is funny given how emotional the singing is. The only part I don't enjoy is how the lyrics become the typical 'you are the only one' fare. Especially as it doesn't seem to connect to the verses/bridge.

I absolutely love the bridge in Anything for you. The melody is great, but I'm still underwhelmed by the chorus at the beginning. My only hope is that it erupts into a big deal in the latter parts of the song.

KYAAAAAAAHHHH My album is in shipping process on CDJ. I hope to have the album by Friday, if Australia Post isn't lame as usual.

Ugh! I have to wait a WEEK!!!!

back cover is really boring = =

where did you see it?

I think Chinese fans must have had their copies sent today and they shared it among their circle. We usually get leaks from the Chinese fans, of course. Any day now.

I hope so! it's quite funny to have to wait 'till the release date. we're not used to that anymore... especially this year, with Björk's and Madonna's albums leaking 2 months before the release date :D

SCAR0706@weibo
the sticker is weird - -

I really like this pic!

well! few hours left and we should have it! finally! :D

Out of control might just be my favourite song from the new album, very close to WARNING. The lyrics to this song resonate with me so much I can't help dying inside a little everytime I listen to the preview. I just love it to bits.

And isn't this the longest we have waited to get a leak of an album? I remember listening to love again and party queen weeks before the actual release lol. Am I wrong?
I just can't hold myself back anymoreee I want to listen to the full thing and I want it in HQ.

^ We got Love Songs' leak on saturday 18th of december while the release date was on the 22nd

As for LOVE again : we got the leak on sunday 3rd of february, and the release date was on the 8th (not so sure of this one because i'm refering to my last.fm stats, i think we got the songs one by one instead of a full leak at once so it might either be the 3rd or the 4th)

Now that i look at my last.fm i realise how little i listened to LOVE again, for instance "untitled for her... story 2" has approx only 20 plays

Her body looks great but that is such a strange photo.

what an ungly outfit xD I can't xD
I thought she wears t-shirt or something

Hmmm I like it. It's something different. Hope it has leaked when I come back from the City :) This will be a perfect day

I really like the aesthetics of this release. Gurl is on point.

I legit thought she was wearing depends on the back XD lol

Anyways. A leak should be happening pretty soon! I haven't been this excited for an ayu album in a very long time! Can't wait

i'm so excited with this album...i only heard the previews (which I forget, except the singles). Heheheh!! So everything will be new to me!!!! Yeah!!!

I strained myself from listening to the preview of Out Of Control as I already listened to Anything For You's one. I'm really excited for this album. I bet AFY has some nice surprises with its 7 minute length. And I'm ready to be slayed by NO FUTURE.

^i also really hope it's not just a 7 minutes ballad, I mean I hope for a lovely bridge with real violins and everything!

Same thing for Out of control actually, considering the title I really hope it gets more and more violent until reaching some kind of Last minute level!

The back cover is really simple and nice.

It seems odd to me that Ayu released the lyrics to Diary...

I wonder if it possibly could be a secret track? I know she's entrusting it to Miccie, but it is a source of interest...

Don't know how it happened but I can not stop listening to Anything For You! It's amazing, the build up to the chorus and then the chorus slaps me right in the face! Not sure how 7 minutes of it will go but for now it's second best ballad on the album after Walk

I'm starting to stalk the forum. Come onnnnn.

I want this to leak right now ;_;
Its pretty amazing that we got two albums in less than a year with a new song already recorded and previewed... Colours was a nice experiment, and A ONE was created to satisfy the fans of the classic Ayu. For people like me, who enjoy most of the songs she releases, it's great. And for those who only like some of her songs its pretty great because in few months she will already release another thing. I do think tho that in the last few years there's been too much filler. Songs like Hello new me, NOW&4EVA, Anything For You, Melody etc are nice but they add nothing to her discography. I would love that instead of releasing that many albums she would use those songs as b-sides for singles and release an album every 2 years or so with only the best material

booklet pics

So what's the secret behind A ONE?

Would be nice if scar0706 would just give us a download link. Lol seriously though.

Can you put those under a spoiler cut please? ugh

*waiting for leak feels*

I'm most excited to hear Anything for You, NO FUTURE, and Story. It'll be interesting to listen the cohesion of this album, given the observations of technical similarities, and what Ayu is trying to convey. I think the A(L)ONE theory is the most likely at this point.

who talk about secrets?

I agree! We all needs a download link! :D

You know what, that back cover reminds me of a horror movie I once only saw in trailers and decided that it was so bad it didn't have to be watched. I do know that the end of the movie one chick is alone so maybe she really is ALONE.

Holy shit the booklet pics. Especially the first and 3rd one.
. Wow . gorgeous. Such a fresh look.

Seems like she isn't wearing any underwear or lingerie below rite?

i can't wait any longer
