' 愛している ' のひと言だけで

何もかもが大丈夫で

どんな事でも乗り越えられる

そんな魔法の力があるよ

-Shape of Love-

---

この夏に魔法をかけていたいよ、ずっと。

そして君の隣にいさせてよ、ずっと。

-Summer diary- (?)

一緒に見た海 眩しかったね

綺麗で切なくて 何て言うのかな

よくある 'このまま時が止まればいいのに' って台詞わかる気がした

-Summer diary-

この夏に魔法をかけていたいよ、ずっと。

そして君の隣にいさせて。

大切にしていたいんだよ。。

-Summer diary-

この夏のことを忘れないよずっと

心のダイアリーに綴るよ

叶うならこのままで変わらないでもっと

このページ埋めていきたいよ

-Summer diary-

さようなら

大好きなあなた

さようなら さようなら さようなら

まるで何もなかった様な顔で明日を始めるんだろう

- Sayonara -

どうしたら
嫌いになれるの

どうしたら
忘れられるの

どうしたら どうしたら どうしたら

こうなってしまう前の自分に
ねぇ戻れるのかを教えて

- Sayonara - (?)

Maybe tonight Ayu will tell us who is "mysterious man" next to her on photos from twitter
http://i.imgur.com/JfHGLIPm.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/jXm4asMm.jpg

This is another guy
http://i.imgur.com/3jLUCOum.jpg
and ayu confirmed that this is the same person ^^
http://i.imgur.com/Dfk9puKm.jpg

Her husband (imagine the shit storm lol)

Since the first two pictures are for the song Sayonara so I guess it might be one of the guys from SpeXial? I hope it's Simon since he is the better looking guy in the group and in the promo pic he stood next to ayu (he's the guy on ayu's left)

Image Direction (Ayu + Spexial) by Alvin Goh

Her husband looks a bit more muscular iirc, my guess is one of the SpeXial guys or a Japanese actor/dancer

AyuAngel said that is Shuya

Shuya is back? *------------*

first "mysterious man" is Simon https://www.facebook.com/spexialsimon

Get ready for the bittersweet music video Sayonara with Spexial

http://i.imgur.com/Gq3Oo8Wl.jpg

*gasp* I wish I was ayu in that pic

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT WILL BE SIMON! SInce he's like the face of the group! I even tweeted to her

Seems like all songs really are in titled with "S" words

She chose Simon because his name starts with S ^^

oh, and Shu-ya to!!

Omg just tell me why is the letter 'S' so emphasized?!:tired:tired:tired

The last 'S' will be... Singapore.

AYU IS FILLING IN THE "S" IN KUU'S FOR <EX TAPE>
They are sending us a message this summer :o

^ I can't!! hahahahahahaha

I just SNORTED in the middle of the train omgggg :roflmao

oh I sure wish I could see ayu filling kuu's "S..." in a -EX TAPE.

I need ayu X kuu SHAKE IT like PV immediately.

But dreams aren't always coming true.

Please someone tweet this to Ayu or Kuu XDD

I'm so lost, Kuu has a sex tape?

The only relevant Citizen of Kyoto, Kumi Kehova, has a song on her new cd called "EX-TAPE". Since kumi and ayuma are such great friends they often borrow ideas from one another (London/British theme, beach theme, bikini theme, etc). This time ayuma possibly has every song on her new mini album start with the letter "S". Since "EX-TAPE" is such a weird name (unless she's talking about an actual ex boyfriend), and with Ayu's song title situation (and that they're bestest friends) we put two and two together and think that ayuma is helping fill out the rest for kumi. Legend K has no sex tape that we are aware of.

What's with all the S titles, I wonder...

Lol! I've been way out of the loop with Kuu so guess I missed the joke, thanks.

S means Summer.

Well obviously, but also having the title be summer diary...is just a tad much. We'll see tho when we finally get some info on the final product.

Is there a reason for the "nickname" ayuma? I always wondered sorry for OT

So I believe this article states that, although Daishi Dance produced What is forever love, Ayu had only just met him in January at the Electrox EDM event. It was then that she asked him to make her another song? I wonder if What is forever love was just a demo floating around then?


The second bolded part just states that the video was filmed at a studio. So the outside pictures posted on Twitter are, I assume, a different video. (Just for clarification haha.)

http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20...00344-oric-ent

If I record correcly it was a foreign (spanish?) tv channel which talked about Japan and it was written "Ayuma" instead of "Ayumi" on the screen, can someone correct me? I can't find it so i feel like i've made it up in my head during some dream or idk

^ I think World Music Awards wrote her name as "Ayuma Hamasaki" in their poll a few years ago?

I guess it's because international music award show made a mistake, they wrote Ayuma when they nominated het at their website.

Ayima is the nickname Spain has given her. Ayuma is from music award.

Loving supein and her ignorance♥♥♥♥

poor ayu-chan xD her name is so short and simple, how can someone spell it wrong =)

Ayima Yamashaki OMFG that's hilarious! how can someone get a name so wrong just copy paste it if you're not confident haha Thanks for all the clarifications!

Ayima Yamashaki I can't :laugh

LOOOL I don't know if I can remember Ayima Yamashaki. It's way harder than Ayuma.

It's literally written on the billboard they're showing !!
-_____-'

I feel ashamed for their grammar when I see someone writing names wrong. They should look at them from internet or something if they're not sure how it's written right.

It can stands for Shiz as well.

im so curious about all the news, 2015 is just a gift for ayu fans!!! Im like, checking every hour if there is some new information, rumors ... soooo excited!!

Ayu posted this in twitter. I think that's from pv ^^

http://i.imgur.com/HiJ4wY6m.jpg

^ Again a PV on the beach ? -_-'
I hope there's no boyfriend this time....

^too late, there will be a boyfriend this time...hehe..

God....
I wouldn't mind a PV ala BLUE BIRD, but if it's another You & Me, or Wake Me Up, I'll die, seriously!

It makes me think of the cover of For My Dear...

I think that's neat.

Yaaaas ayu serve that For My Dear realness!

she looks so pretty! :)

Another hilar moment like getting thrown out of a car please

http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...-ForMyDear.jpg

For comparison... :D

^Oh wow, didn't realize it until you posted that. Very cool.

Track 5: Shove

http://s16.postimg.org/5lcstdftx/Ayu_Push.gif

Ayima Yamashaki Im dying!!!!

Ahem....pls god, I can't deal with another bunch of ridiculous Pvs like You and me, wake me up or snow kiss. Pls Ayu don't drink and edit your videos

That picture is gorgeousssss

^no way! lol I was shocked at the speed of THIS release...

From generasia:

Digital Singles
[2015.07.01] Step by step
[2015.07.15] SENSATION

True or false I think it will be great if ayu release another digital single before the mini album release.

No clue if that site is reliable, but if so, SENSATION sounds like it could be the redone track.

I can't stop laughing.

Another collaboration? *Takes out voodoo dolls*

Step-by-step is really nice pop piece. Hope we get some nice summer ballads too. I'm loving the title SENSATION. I hope it'll be disco or something funky.

I'm hoping for another January release. Unlikely though. Ayu doesn't usually do three or more consecutive releases so close together. Colours and A ONE are 9 months apart. Last time releases were this close was RnRC and Ls in 2010. Plus, she keeps dropping songs in the toilet. It's kinda hard to write an album with interruptions.

I hope no more love songs for awhile. Sick of em. It's like Ayu has a flat personality over the last five years.

As a side note, super cute picture! Lovin the adorbs and stuff. I like the recent trend of personal photos over this avatar montages. Except when they're too cute. Then I forget what I'm writing and just stare at their picture.

Certified creeper status here at times. :rolleyes

Remix album pleeeease Colours and A ONE have some great potential for remixes!

^agree. TRANCE PLEASEEE.

Is SENSATION confirmed?

no!

I wonder.. this idea came from music fest?

If she released another digital single, I think that it would be more Sayonara. feat SpeXial than a song whose the title isn't confirmed yet.

The You & Me PV is iconic lol The difference is this time it's not her real boyfriend/husband... I wonder if she ever watches this PV and thinks "Why did I think this would be a good idea..."

Edit: anyone can edit generasia so... might not be reliable, probably just someone assuming that this will happen

omg I remember that xD I was "like how can they be so stupid?" While my parents were like "oh, that chinese singer of yours appeared on TV! You're a normal person after all"


That beach picture looks beautiful :luv2

^^Haha reminds me of something my folks might say!

Poor Ayima, her real identity will forever remain a secret.

If you guys check out all of the song title, all of them start with "S". Well, doesn't know what it mean? Probably since its "S"ummer...

I listening Step by step for the first time and I like it. It's a nice song.

I just heard SBS in full and I felt as if it was the love child between snowy kiss and TSMGO but the happier version. I liked the guitars but that's it. This song is so tired that I can't even like it. And Ayima did songs like Walk 1000 times but I eat them up. Maybe it's about TIMING!

Step by step is absolutely magical. It didn't leave a strong first impression, but there's an uplifting "taking flight" feeling that I think Ayu and her producers captured extremely well. In feeling, it actually doesn't remind me of another summer song of hers, but more a song like "Depend on you."

You guys apparently the new album is called SiXXXXX

It was apparently revealed during the concert.

Also the Sayonara video was black and white, they were in a bed, and there was a chair, eagle and horse. Lolol such a fragmented description.

Comments...GO!

http://i4.minus.com/ibratAlAduLc5G.jpg

Kinda like it tbh. Should have just been Sixxx or just Sexxx.

thought it was Sixxxxxx?

Why sixxxxx tho lol will there be 6 songs? XD

SeXXXX would've been a better title.

Man, I miss the good ol' "Party Queen" days when she made Koda Kumi look more conservative.

:eh:

why the 5 X's tho... I thought she only got 3 ex-es :laugh

SiXXXXX? Serisouly? LOL

I would love if it had a 6th bonus track :D

^ ayu version of Diary?

wtf this title

Way to go ayuma, very creative :rolleyes

SiXXXXX.

One X for every song on the tracklist.

Featuring a hidden SiXth, bonus track.

1. X
2. X
3. X
4. X
5. X
---
6. (X)

^ that's what I thought too.
A hidden video would be cool too lol

it actually sounds quite conceptual...unexpected definitely

Too bad not S...LOL

Maybe it's a Spanish title
Si, XXXXX
If that's the case she spelled it wrong and imma have to give Ayima only 0.5/1.

I like the title...interesting and not usual

I wonder how it will pronounce on the CM...

Am i the only one to think that the "X"'s in "SiXXXXX" are for us to guess which alphabets they are to form a real word, which Avex will reveal soon? Such as "Silence".

Nah uh... SiXXXXX... Really?... This is a joke, right?... Another one of those Chinese kids with their faux news, right?... I'm going to cry a little.

Lol did I hear racism?

Hmm... I think I'll wait until it's official before I wrap my head around that title.

each X for each S song

May be is "Silence" :roflmao

Oh my God. SiXXXXX?

Stranger things have happened.

(Or have they?)

This is fun. I was expecting some boring title but I like SIXXXXX. Wonder what.s the meaning of the x-es. Maybe one x for each song but the fun thing is that this is indeed her 6th overall mini album - nothing from nothing - memorial address - five - love - again - sixxxxx.

Astute observation!

Hopefully it has better covers than the past few releases.

Thats interesting non usual title. I kinda like it, but its a lit bit complicated.

She's inspired by speXial

Really it doesn't bother me at all , actually as long as she doesn't pull a Seiko and names her album Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo then everything is all right

sí, A y i m a
sí, x x x x x
