According to CDJapan, the title of Ayu's 5th album will be "Rainbow" There is still no tracklist, however.

wooow yeeeaaahhh thats great! rainbow!! woow that sounds good! hehehehe!! wooow yeeahhh


thanks for the info:D :D :D :D

That auto-translation made little to no sense, but at least we know that the title will be Rainbow :cool . Now all we have to wait for is an official tracklisting, which hopefully shouldn't take too long now. And from the last tidbit of info, I'm assuming that there may be a site with the mp3s for some or all the songs and/or related media for those people in the Asian countries...time will tell as to what it may actually be...:)

Actually the auto-translation told us a lot of info! The grammar might not be correct, but it was still very informative.

Also, why would the website that the password accesses contain MP3s? Avex put on the copy protection to prevent piracy, and for them to create a website that gives out MP3s would just promote pirating, in my opinion. It would be nice because the people who bought the CD would be able to legally have MP3s on their computers. They would be able to have a digital copy of the song on their computer (legally). But unfortunately record companies usually aren't very nice. We'll see what happens. :shrug

There goes Avex contradicing itself again. . . the website could possibly have pictures and video files of Ayu, but everything is very vague right now. I can't wait until it's finally released!:D

"Rainbow" sounds like a really cool title. I was always hoping that Ayu would do a song entitled "Rainbow." I bet the cover art will be very pretty and colorful! Has Avex confirmed the album title? I didn't see it on her website. The secret website thing sounds really intriguing, however. I hope it will be easy for us non Japanese speaking peeps to access.

What do you mean? Avex hasn't contridicted itself yet. :confused

Biscuitgirl, Avex hasn't confirmed the title yet. Hopefully we'll get the tracklist and title soon....

According to some sources, the finer defination of the content for initial press are some password protected special content on a website, just like the initial press of A BEST.

What was the site like from A Best?

By the way, the title "Rainbow" sounds kinda odd to me. It's just kinda old and played out, ya know? It's nothing new and special. "A Song for XX" was a great title, but "Rainbow" ehhhh :rolleyes

MMMMMM that would be very bery yummilicious if they had naked(not really, but showing a lot of skin) ayu on the cover with a rainbow covering "stuff" that would be hella sick!!!!!!

LOL!!!! RAINBOW!!!!!!!!!
Well... its simple, just like "duty" and i probably bet that the title will be more appealing once we see the cover!!!!=]

Believable
 

I think it is believable this time since it came from a reliable source. The title of the album suits well. I can't wait for its release. <Though I can't provide one because it's won't be sold in our country> Hope to find a site where I can download them. ^^;






*Ayumi Forever*

so wat tracks are included???

That wouldn't be cool, that would be Christina Aguilera! We definitely don't want that! Ewwwwww

But Duty is an usual name. Things like Butterfly, Rainbow, they're all silly played out funky names. SHe might as well call it Unicorn or Pretty Pretty Princess, lol.

Ayu has a lot of creativity, but I'm not impressed with "Rainbow."

ME LOVE EVERYWHERE NOWHERE!!!ME LOVE EVERYWHERE NOWHERE!!!ME LOVE EVERYWHERE NOWHERE!!!ME LOVE EVERYWHERE NOWHERE!!!ME LOVE EVERYWHERE NOWHERE!!!ME LOVE EVERYWHERE NOWHERE!!!ME LOVE EVERYWHERE NOWHERE!!!ME LOVE EVERYWHERE NOWHERE!!!ME LOVE EVERYWHERE NOWHERE!!!ME LOVE EVERYWHERE NOWHERE!!!ME LOVE EVERYWHERE NOWHERE!!!ME LOVE EVERYWHERE NOWHERE!!!
:loony

"Rainbow" How cute!

But it reminds me of Mariah Carey too much... ugh.

Usually Ayumi's titles aren't so simply named. I wonder if this one has a story behind it.

Oh yeah!

it reminds me of mariah carey too~~~
but whatever, i am sooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!!:beat

thnks for the info :)

Cool name for the album:)

rainbow???
*sings*
i see......all the seven colors of the rainboww...........
lalalala.....

lolz.........

Who says its "Immaculate" earlier on ?????


Its "Rainbow".............:roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

me too.. dunno why.. but rainbow sounds too "cliche" for ayumi hamasaki. the first until the fourth album title is great " A Song for XX, LOVEppears, Duty, I am..."
but rainbow??? *_^

well title is not everything after all, as long as the songs are great, it'll be a nice album.

for the alternative, i prefer the title to be "voyage" rather than rainbow

I agree. Up until now she has always had really great and creative titles. But Rainbow is boring and you're definitely right that it's a cliche. :rolleyes

Avex hasn't confirmed the title yet, so even though it's unlikely, the title might change. :shrug

oh I like the title. It's not the best but I like it =)

"voyage" for the title is so much better

That's probably why she named it that, because all those songs are totally different. Maybe she named it "Rainbow" because all the colors are different, and she went through so many feelings while writing the album. Just a guess...

I'm sure she'll have a press release about why she named the album "Rainbow" and not "Voyage" or something.

I think she did say something about choosing the album title in this article:

cool..

Avex Confirms Title
 

Hmm...now with the title confirmed by Avex themselves, all we need to know is the tracklist. Thanks for that news tidbit :)

Wow, that font is so incredibly superb.... :eek

:rainbow

yes i agree chsf

Well, it's really the "A" that makes it! But the rest of the font is so neat and simple and clean (:rolleyes) so it fits that cover so well! :D

Yeah, the font is awesome! I love the "A" in "Rainbow"! I just wish we could see the cover art! Fooey! Anticipation!!

Having the A symbol in the title was pretty cool, but I dunno, I'm still not super pleased with the title. But that doesn't matter, as long as the songs are good, I will be happy! :)

more information are being revealed day by day......so far, recent rumours have been gradually fulfilled........that's why i worry abt the "7" track tracklisting by Tsutaya Online.......:confused

It's just a rumour, don't worry :rainbow

We just gotta sit and keep our fingers crossed.

yeah sit here and wait for 17 more days!
