Wow.. :)
Thanks a lot for the info.

Yay!! Cool!!! Not a mini album!! :banana2
Thanks for this info! :)

Ooh, nice :yes I'm looking forward to this! :D

4 different jackets -_-;;
Im not liking the title either... blah.
Atleast it's not a mini-album ^_^
Thanks for the news!

Gee, still playing with the multiple cover idea after all these years.

Not that I wasn't planning on not getting it, but DVD content like that makes it a must-buy!

OOH!YAY!THX!!

15 tracks! great!
4 covers : grrrrr! marcketing! I don't like marcketing ^^

And again, after I leave Japan. Never mind, I'll snag the OS version I guess. Thanks for the info. =)

i think some of the tracks might be INTERLUDES ( just like the previous album does, eg: taskinlude, everlasting dreaM~

wow!!!! so happy! I was thinking about changing my web's name, than I rejected coz it would be so much trouble, and now, I see this, "my Story", and my web is called "A story is born" yupi!!!! and 15 tracks!!!

I think I'm a witchie, because I was thinking also that there will be jacket chooices this time,. hehehe

Some good news at last. I didint think it would be a mini-album because Ive seen so many photos of her recording in the studio recently. Considering so many songs are already recorded, why would she still be in the studio if it was a mini album?

And just in time for new songs to be performed at Countdown Live! I picked my CDL ticket up today. Exciting!

Does anyone know if we can choose the cover when ordering through Yesasia?

15 tracks CD+DVD a must buy ^_^

●1.Moments
●2.INSPIRE
●3.GAME
●4.CAROLS
●5.About You
●6.walking proud
●7.my name's WOMAN　

beside this 8 more tracks...but if we take away About you,Walking proud,my name's woman we getting 11 new tracks :D :banana2 :spazzed :mpunks :colorjump

Yes! I didn't really think it would be a mini-album but it's nice to have confirmation that it has 15 tracks. So many new songs. The name doesn't stand out but it could be worse, I'm OK with it. I'll probably get the CD+DVD.

Usually not. It might be similar to A Ballads in that there is a cardboard sleeve, and the cover which is different is the booklet, which you cant see untill you open the packaging.

*dances around the room* Whee!!! Finally good news!
Can't wait to buy this!!

yay, I can't wait for new album! 11 new tracks! I love new ayu listening :D

Wow! yay!!!! I am expecting something totally refreshing and innovative ^_^

Thanks for the news.
I'll surely buy the CD+DVD version ^_^

cant wait for it!!!

AAAAAAA! At last! Hope that nothing'll change! Thanks for the info

Hmm..now that I think of it. This title reminds me of Final Fantasy X
"This..is my story.."

oh my god I'm SO HAPPY! this made my day! wiiihoo...
"MY STORY" CD in my walkman forever!!
and this time I won't be listening to any mp3's before the cd comes out... *promise*

I Love You Hamasaki Ayumi!!!!
*echoes*
[and I love you Henrik!]
aah, well.. I know that Ayumi. ^^

Super! Thanks for the info!

The DVD content sucks! It's unfair to the people whou bought all her singles with DVDs! We paid for the PVs once and now we have to pay for them again :/

Maybe the 4 jackets thing is really just 4 versions of the CD--SACD, DVD, CD, & CD+DVD. At least I hope so. I think people are getting sick of multiple covers and it's making her look bad. =x

Yes, I hope this is true....I cant wait!!! :) this is sooo cool! 15 tracks, and the title isnt all that bad. I actually kinda like it. I hope it turns out to be a great album! I know I'm gunna order the cd/dvd even though I have some of the dvd's already...its still great. I hope the covers are cool, cuz then I wont care which one I get, as long as I got Ayu songs...lots of new ones at that! I'll be extremely happy! *wants to build time machine and speed time up to 12-15-04*

Wow! That's good news!

that's my point also, btw, very nice avy+sig set ^^

i like the title.

Yay! I like the idea of 15 tracks... this means a whole bunch of new Ayu songs! And My Story sounds a whole lot better than Around the World.

CD+DVD! Haha...that sucks for anyone who bought the single CD+DVDs...>.<

Unless you're a big collector...

I don't know which version I'll get though...

not really i'm sure they will add some new pvs
:yes

i gonna get this album!!!

Is it possible that the DVD could contain other things besides the PVs?

THANK GOD its not a mini-album :yes

Now I guess it's official...lol
Good news, I'll buy it for sure!

i Ganna buy This cd+dvd version :)

i wanna buy all 4 covers :D

YESSSS!! Excellent news!!

cool. a full album again, finally! this should be good!

The title "My Story" sounds better than the rumored titles, that's for sure. Still, it sounds so...generic. I hope the 4 cover thing isn't true because Avex has really played out that merchandising scheme...

I thought it was likely there would be a CD + DVD combo, personally I'm glad, its the one I will be buying.

Ooh, if all the PVs for this album are on there then that'll nullify my Moments and INSPIRE CD/DVD singles =_= Hopefully there will be new stuff. I knew the dangers when I bought them....Well, at least we now know something and My Story sounds like a fine title.

OMG. this just TOTALLY made my day

4 designs, not a mini-album....COOL.

I've been waiting so long for this. Can't wait till it's pre-order at Yesasia

I'm gonna CRY!

haha, at least the title is My Story instead of Autobiography :B :B I'm fine with the title, it's generic, but it could be a LOT worse. (At least it's not named "my name's WOMEN" heh heh)

Well, it seems like several artists are already doing alternate covers for the special DVD versions, anyway. I'm kinda surprised that Ayu hasn't done that yet. So this is good news. The title's not too bad. Nothing could be worse than My Name's WOMEN!

Thanx for the info! :yatta

oh my god!!
I can't wait unitl it will be in the shops. I want the album!!^^

YAY YAY!! *does happy dance* Thanks for the info - I've been scouring J-pop music store sites for any info of new Ayu Album. Now the date is confirmed! :) Can't wait!

yay!!!!! ^^ finally!!!! what we been waiting for!!!!!!
the name of the albumsounds better, no doubt!!!
actually i like the idea of 4 covers... it is like more things to collect, more pics XD
oh my!!! now what i am looking forward is only December 15 and nothing else!!!!
and thanx for the infor!!! ^^

nice....that sounds like an ayu album

Thanks for the n00z. =P

Thank you for the great news. :)

MY STORY sounds pretty nice, and I hope it will be an album with a great content. 15 songs!! I didn't really expect this.
Can't wait... :luv2

okay so like 8 total songs we havent heard and hmmm 3 interludes wow 5 new songs :P not bad XD in a sad way V_V; way too many singles, but i still think i want to get this, but no way would i buy all the different jackets if that is true.
ty for this

This really made my day too!! i was scared it would be a mini album but 15 tracks sounds real nice + the DVD^^ can't wait to preorder

yay! i'm so happy that it's not a minialbum! and the possibility of 4 jacket designs is exciting

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT A MINI ALBUM!!! :lech hehe~ I'm soo going to get the CD+DVD version!! (hehe~ or all four covers!! :P jokes~)

WOOHOO!! cant wait to hear walking proud!!

Thanks for these great news!!!! (I just wanted to go to sleep but then decided to visit AHS- and now I´m so happy :D )

oh, how i love skal. i also am satisfied with the title this time around. and since there are 15 tracks, i guess my hopeful thoughts of there being hte memorial address songs on the next album are crushed.

for now, my still hopeful thoughts are..
1. My name's WOMEN (who knows, maybe this was retitled to My Story)
2. Interlude/Opening
3. GAME
4. Because of you
5. ourselves
6. About you
7. Moments
8. CAROLS
9. Walking proud
10. Greatful days
11. Angel's Song
12. INSPIRE
13. HANABI ~episode 2~
14. No way to say
15. Forgiveness* (bonus song)

LOL. :) weeee. i guess My story would be a name too though, :shrug o well. time to cry and cheer. bye!

must buy all 4 version ^_^
def collecting them this time =D
i wish.......the DVD will have.......all the songs in PV format XD

jerms> maybe...
My Story (originaly it was my name's WOMEN)

KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! :D

Well it's possible that "My story" will also be a track. I like the title, I think it's simple anddefinitely ayuish (personal). Thanks for the news nmskalmn. Just like what ayuourselves mentioned, though it seems it will have a lot of new songs we still can't forget the interludes which are short and can make up for 2 or 3 tracks.

OMG, SO HAPPY!

well, that's just FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! =O!!!

I can't wait for her new album~...... lots of great songs *0*!!!!

Yay!Im so happy 15 tracks, yes! :D I actually kinda like the title "My Story" hmmm, 4 different covers...knowing me ill probably end up buying all 4 :yes :rolleyes

Thanks for the news, skal. :thumbsup

I think "My Story" will be a track. Hopefully the songs will be good, and won't be filler crap like on RAINBOW.

lol very kool can't wait!!
finally its confirmed!!

CD+DVD version, and not a mini album. Wow, COOL TOTALLY. I wish I can buy it. Thanks for the info.

oh. my. god. this would be dreadful. now I'm scared... :(

AWESOME!!! I'm soooooo excited about this, yay! It's not a mini album yay! *tears of joy* thanx for the info!

0o0o0o i wonder wots gunna be on the DVD... hopefully a whole BUNCH of PVs, so us non CD+DVD single buyers can have our stingyness pay off ehehehe

OMG!!! I can't wait! This is gonna be so cool! I'm definately getting the CD=DVD. =^.^=

Oh. Yay. :)

P.S. I HOPE IT DOESNT HAVE THE MEMORIAL ADDRESS SONGS ON IT!!! O_O

Thanks for the info! I can't wait!

I want to preorder now!!!!!!!!

thank gawd it isnt called Around the World.

looking forward to this! Sooo can't wait to buy it.

btw i'm curious what the covers gonna look like...

Wooooooooooo! A full album! :shimmy Like others, though, I'd be really disappointed of the Memorial Address songs were included.. :(

Woohoo! Great news, 15 songs!!! I can't wait!

YES!!! I can't wait for this!!

thanks, i definetely buy ayu album as i will always do, i can't wait for the new album, i hope it will be great

The Memorial address tracks WILL not be included. The site points out the already available tracks and it doesn't mention any of the MA tracks so I think people should get less worried about that ;)

I dont think the Memorial Addy songs will be put on there...If they were I'd be VERY surprised...

omg w00t D:::`,;

I'm going to get the CD+DVD..*glad he resisted buying singles and can just get them all on one DVD* :D

But now I either have to take of Arena Tour 2002 DVD or Aikawa Nanase's 7 Seven Album..

I think I'll take 7 Seven off my b-day wishlist and buy it later...

Yay! I am very excited for this album! I wish I could preorder now...

=D this is great news!!!
i'm glad this album isn't a mini album.

the name sounds interesting.

i bet anything there's a song on it called MY STORY. she always does that.

why would they make a CD+DVD set that has all the PVs on the previous CD+DVD singles? :( Oh well, I'll still probably get the CD+DVD version... ^^ I'm excited! :D

start the countdown woooo

hey, i wasnt about to buy it,but now, i feel like buying

I think you have a misconception about what marketing is and does. BTW I am trying make my breads in the MKT field. You just break my heart by that typo.. wuuuuwuuuwu hehe

hah! far fetch wishing on your part ol'champ

Thank Gawd there is a new album, but I hope she doesn't try to recycle any memorial address songs.---People who think there should be are Du-du-du-dUMB..:p

she didnt for LOVEppears

WOOOOOOOOW. I'm SO excited about this new albumn...X3;; *prances around* *flowers in teh air* wheeeeeee~~ I am going to be SO looking forward to it...XD

YAY!! now let's hope this is accurate :yes

Well, 'appears' was basically the title track to LOVEppears.

^^ Yeah. Appears was about LOVE so LOVEppears makes sense.
