Holy crap, just saw this on the official page, too.

It sounds so great.

The kana/kanji messed up in your post, to me, so I'm re posting it all here.

All I have to say is: ewww. And that's my oppinion. I mean seriously taskinst? LMAAAAO.

EDIT: LMAO I JUST SAW "KISS O' KILL"!!!! AHAHA. omg. Ayu whyyyy? Oh well you can't please everyone.

LABYRINTH!!! OMG this is the 3rd track I predicted :D I LOOOVE some of these titles!!

I can't freakin' believe some of the titles.

Wasn't LABYRINTH one of the rumored ones, since very long back?

edit,
Yes, indeed Rody! ... lol, you ARE psychic.

Yea :P INSPIRE, JEWEL and now LABYRINTH :D

I wonder it until that Day... is a song or a 2nd interlude.

The song I'm ´looking forward to hearing the most is momentum, that name is the most awesome ever. I'm scared a bit by kiss o' kill ... hahaha.

wow! thanks for the info! ^^

lol, i found out that ayu loves using those 1min+ songs without lyrics... she likes to ue the word task... example, tasking, taskinillusion...

I guess "momentum" was supposed to be the new song on the mini album.

As for the rest of the titles...Ayu seriously needs to work on those O______O;;

Thanks for the information... My opinion to the names of some tracks

I like the "momentum" title.
surprised that the 3rd new PV is "momentum" and not "Secret".

no fair. only 6 new songs! :( (since taskinst and Not yet are probably just interlude) I'm happy about the momentum pv though, but I WANT * NEW SONGS!!!!
BTW, good call on Labyrinth. :) LOL

Shisho, her title tracks never had PVs.

ohh nice..cant wait to hear these ^^

LABYRINTH sounds so familiar. Is it one of the older rumoured tracks? :shrug I have a feeling that the name popped up in AHS before.

Other than that, AWESOME. I love "momentum", it sounds really interesting.

^Advice of the day: read the replies before you post ;).

Yeah, especially considering that the song is the one with a PV.

I agree on this, even though I'm accepting all titles because I think they're cool.

RAINBOW had :P
(LOVE~Destiny~ and appears had too)

LOL, but i know it's kinda different and i know what You mean :)
However when everyone still thought that "Secret" is a mini album and the third new song was probably a title track "Secret" and every new song was supposed to have a PV it kinda stucked with me that "Secret" will have the PV.

I am happy with "momentum" thou... love the title.

PS. And it's "Shiso" ;P :)

She has 130+ titles; give her a break :P

Kiss o' Kill? That's a bit gansta! Haha, love these tracknames, not very "ayu" like! And that's GREAT!:D

Kiss o' kill?
=/ meh. thanks.

kiss o kill
sounds like a rock song to me :D
please ayu ..let there be more rock oriented rock songs
like Because of You/About You/GAME etc

NO WONDER AHS WAS SLOW AS HELL!! Goosh..

momentum and Secret sounds interesting :yes

but those others.. kiss 'o kill? taskinst? okay....

True about LOVEppears, but that's a borderline case. The song RAINBOW was on A BALLADS, not RAINBOW, I don't know if it could be considered that albums title track, as such. :P. Exceptions. Exceptions.

:).

That has me thinking. I would like to believe that momentum was the new track on Secret, as it's got a new PV, but that would have left Secret out... as there was only one new track. Maybe Secret would really have been a hidden/bonus track on the mini album.

We all seem to be exalted over that one :).

I really like the titles!

anybody realise that secret doesnt have a PV!!!
and the new songs called "momentum" has!!!
i love the title...looks like a ballad title or rock...
thx for the info

Ohh, thank you so much !! I like this tracklist, LABYRINTH recall me the B-side of the Van Tomiko's next single lol and I love the " momentum " title too, I can't wait !!! I want to see the cover, Ayu, I am ready now :D ...

Why do i see this as a dark style ...

Errr...

Since when did we ever think that any of her new track names was very Ayu-ish? She makes them Ayu like :).

Yespleasethanks.

I noticed, too.

Like has been mentioned, her title tracks more or less never had a PV before.

i thought that [secret] will have a PV...
but [momentum] is ok...the title is INTERESTING!!!
really want to hear it...
i hope that she still will give us some suprise like another PV or a hidden song...by the way i hope that blue bird and BF making is album version not like the same version as the single one

Great news! I won't judge the song titles until I listen to the songs anyway :D Thanks for the information. :yes

kiss 'o kill? sheesh, I hope it's an interlude, cause the title sound so cheesy... Not too fond of LABYRINTH either... But those other titles sound really nice.. I like Until That Day and momentum:) And secret..
At least she hasn't worked with GEO this time, anything's better than that, so I'm sure this album will be nice:)

what do you think 'momentum' will be?
a pop song?
I hope it's not a ballad....coz JEWEL is already a ballad
I LOVE is rockish
so she sjould have momentuma s a pop-ish song
and they're balance as 3 new PVs
hahah

Interesting :yes I like the way the released tracks are spread out with the new tracks, so there won't be any need to skip tracks too much. LABYRINTH makes me think of the film haha.

Thanks a lot ^0^

I don't know what to say, again. :no

For some reason I think momentum will be something like M :3

I hope that momentum will be insanely heavy, something like Because of You or is this LOVE?. Not going to make too high expectations, though.

Thanks for the new screenshots Alex.

I wonder... I thought 1 LOVE was spelled without a space in the name. Like 1LOVE.

Owww, finally a soundtrack! *_____*
Am I the only one that really likes 'kiss 'o kill'? Haha, I love that title, sounds promising.

Momentum sounds like the most promising one, but you never know! I'm not too confident about that one.
LABYRINTH? Eh okay.

If this was posted without the source I'd definitely think it's fake! Overall? I like it, can't wait until the final product comes out!

Thanks for the news.

Not entirely alone, I am expecting a lot of a song with that kind of title.

If I would have seen it here before I saw it on the official page I would so have thought it was fake, too. Haha, Ayu sure is full of surprises.

That would be cool!

I'm also just so happy to get so much new news on my birthday! Tracklist, New Offical Homepage layout, and A Shot of what may be a really nice cover for the album!

1. Not yet (probably just an interlude)
2. until that Day... (sounds exciting)
3. Startin' (whatever)
4. 1 LOVE (again, whatever)
5. It was (sounds depressing but could also be another interlude)
6. LABYRINTH (MY FAVOURITE TITLE!)
7. JEWEL
8. momentum (love the title, and I'm so excited to see the PV!!)
9. taskinst (interlude)
10. Born To Be... (cool new way to start another part of the album)
11. Beautiful Fighters (love it)
12. BLUE BIRD (kinda off place IMO)
13. kiss o' kill (toooooo excited to hear this song, title so different)
14. Secret

I'm quite happy with the titles! Something TOTALLY different. Can't wait!!

the titles sound very promising !!! i like it

You're birthday!?! This day is just getting better and better. Happy birthday Ayumi626! I hope that you'll have a great day, I think we all do but extraordinarily great in your case!

I can't wait to hear LABYRINTH, momentum and Secret! Stunning titles!

OLD MINI ALBUM Tracklist:

Startin'
Born To Be... �
BLUE BIRD �
Beautiful Fighters �
1 LOVE �
JEWEL �
momentum

Later added:
Not yet
until that Day...
It was
LABYRINTH
taskinst
kiss o' kill
Secret

considering where the track "It was" is paired with, it could be in interlude :P Who knows, we might have three interludes O______O

i wonder wat ladyrynth means...
*search on google..."define LADYRYNTH*

LADYRYNTH - complex system of paths or tunnels in which it is easy to get lost

wooooww
im anxious...
i only want to listen it


mmmmhh..momentum..:)

Thanks! It started off great and has just been getting better! I woke up and checked the forum and there was the thread about the homepage layout and I came back later to find the tracklist! The only thing that could make today better is if the cover gets revealed!

AHHHH
TODAY IS A GREAT DAY! :D
i can't wait, DEFINITELY buying it
i know it sounds biased, but i think this will be some of her best songs
at least the titles are XD

Uhh, it's actually LABYRINTH, you can check words like that on www.dictionary.com.

Thx for d info!!!!!!
Omg... taskinst and kiss o' kill are like eeewwww....! But I hope it will sound good so it will fix the weirdness (or uniqueness?) of the titles... I think this album's titles are not very impressive.. But the music is wat we really want, rite? So still hopin'... Did Ayu really mention that this is gonna be the best album? Aaaaaa I hope so!!!!
momentum is good though... I guess it is a ballad... And Secret is the last song! Waaaawwww really really really hope it is gonna be an awesome ballad like Who... or no more words!
Omigod only 3 new PVs??? Aaaaa quite disappointing... But I guess Ayu must have done a really hard work... Should appreciate it...
AYU GANBATTE NEEEE!!!!!

F I N A L L Y . This is sooo exciting! The tracklist sounds okej. ^^ I like "LABYRINTH" the most. Sounds like a title by me. =P
What the for "kiss o' kill" though. lol (The o' stands for or, or not?) But maybe the title will sound better once we know what the song is about. (I can hardly imagine the lyrics.) It's always like this. At least for me.
I hope "momentum" will be a dark song. (Latin titles = :heart)

whoa...i'm in love.....

"momentum" !!! makes me think of Moments.
Labyrinth sounds very girlish.
Kiss o' kill ... a little 80's

Kiss o' Kill = Kiss of Kill

ohh~ xD
lol got too excited and misread hehe

pretty interesting word though!

woha gotta have this..tracklist is better then kuus!!! and I´m a fan of both (tehy are both on place 2 in my ranking...yeah take me as model^^)

taskinst and kiss o' kill.

wtf mate.

they should've at least did this:
taskinst(rumental) or put a period on taskinst.

Oh... So o' is short for "of"? Now that's pretty weird... and cool. xD Sounds so detective story like. lol

I hope that "momentum" will be a rock-ballad. Something between "HANABI ~episode II~" and "Memorial address". Because we have 4 PVs for upbeat songs, one for a rock song and one for a ballad. So a rock-ballad would make a good balance. ^^

Btw, I see nothing weird in "taskinst". I guess I'm used to it already... *cough-taskinlude-taskinillusion-tasking-cough* ^_-
Maybe it's a wordplay of sort? As you form the superlative(?) with "-st" in English. This is most likely an overinterpretation, but it was just a thought that came into my mind...

Wow, I was expecting a LOT worse with these titles! Hah

1. Not yet (Good)
2. until that Day... (Good)
3. Startin' (Boo to the ')
4. 1 LOVE (Boo to the 1)
5. It was (Good)
6. LABYRINTH (Awesome)
7. JEWEL (Good)
8. momentum (Awesome)
9. taskinst (Funny at first, but fine - taskinlude doesn't make sense either)
10. Born To Be... (Good)
11. Beautiful Fighters (Lame)
12. BLUE BIRD (Good)
13. kiss o' kill (Lame)
14. Secret (Good)
----
I'm just worried that momentum and Labyrinth will BOTH be ballads, and I'll be so disappointed! "Lalala the labyrinth of your heart~~" "Lululu I can feel the momentum of your heart~~" etc. etc.

LOL. i thought "Not Yet" meant the song title was not yet determined. :S

anyway, LABYRINTH i think will remind me of criminal.. haha! and yes Startin' is the 3rd track!!! ayu's song titles are getting more and more non-ayuish in my opinion haha. we can predict It was and LABYRINTH to be something not slow and yet not fast. haha. momentum shld be a slow song. and kiss 'o kill shld be a fast song!! Secret is the secret track hehehe..

there are only 3 new PVs.. :( i wanna see how Born To Be... PV is made without the crew and ayu getting blind!! :D

taskinst sounds like she ran out of names..

I'm really surprised that so many people don't understand the task- titles yet.

task- comes from the name of the composer/arranger of all of these interludes. He is called tasuku, but his name is written stylized as "task", for two reasons: (1) "tasuku", when spoken naturally, sounds like "task" (the vowels get glazed over); and (2) keep reading.

The -inst part of the new title comes from the Japanese word insuto, which in turn is a shortened form of insutoramentaru. The words come from the English word instrumental, and mean the same thing as well.

It's kind of hard to explain, but as you can see above, the Japanese language can only represent English words with "extra" vowels. With many of these task- titles, they remove the extra vowels to come up with something cool (here is reason #2 for tasuku's name appearing as "task").

Rundown of task- titles:

taskinlude tasuku's in(ter)lude
taskinillusion tasuku's in(terlude)-illlusion
tasking tasuku-ing (i.e. doing what tasuku does, a pun on the word "tasking")
taskinst tasuku's instrumental

The titles make sense if you look at them.

The only title on this album that has me making faces is "kiss o' kill". It sounded very Irish to me at first, and then it sounded very ghetto. I thought of "Mo' Money Mo' Problems". It could be either the poor English "kiss of kill" or the poor English "kiss or kill". We have yet to see.

Ou, didn't know any of that :X

Thx for the info evolusean

kiis o kill gets most of my attention...momentum doesn´t soudn that exciting to me...

i do hope momentum is like M or some dark rock songs!
LABYRINTH sounds similar to Doll and WONDERLAND
"It was" is pretty bland~
But this tracklist is one of the most western styled one of ayu!
I like it and i hope i like the cover more when it's out~

er, it's kiss OR kill, isn't it? Kiss of kill makes no sense whatsoever.

and taskinst doesn't flow well...it sounds wierd when you pronounce it. Taskinlude, taskinillusion, tasking etc. all flowed in english. I wonder how they could improve on taskinst? maybe get rid of the hard "s"? =/

they could've addded the "strum"

therefore "task-in-strum" easier for me at least where as "task-inst"

o'
1. an abbreviated form of of, as in o'clock or will-o'-the-wisp.
2. an abbreviated form of on.

Did I tell you that you are awesome already?

er, it's kiss OR kill, isn't it? Kiss of kill makes no sense whatsoever.

and taskinst doesn't flow well...it sounds wierd when you pronounce it. Taskinlude, taskinillusion, tasking etc. all flowed in english. I wonder how they could improve on taskinst? maybe get rid of the hard "s"? =/

I have a feeling that kiss o' kill will be another B&D. But, that's just me.

same sentiments.

I really like the tracklist, the titles sound so nice...

:yes My words exactly!

You never know, she might prove us wrong! XD

Hmmm....so about 8 new songs or so? Not bad, not bad ^_^

I hope this album is just great. The photoshoots, videos, songs, everything. Let's hope Ayu can surprise all of us and leave us in awe.

All this new news and layouts are making me excited O_O

I hope that kiss o' kill will be a good rockish song!

taskinst doesn't sound like she ran out of words! It's the titles 'taskin' that a guy uses and who composes some of her interludes... I in fact; LOVE all of his interludes... so I'm excited about taskinst... hopefull it will be as cool as his latest on her (miss)understood album, that one rocked!

And titles are just that... it's not the titles that matter :P

But you forget... it's not an English album. Nobody in Japan will pronounce it "taskinst". "taskinst" is a stylized representation of the Japanese title "tasukuinsuto", and that is how it is actually spoken.

In the same way, M isn't "M", but it is "emu". evolution isn't "evolution", but "eboryuushon". If Ayu's titles were created for English speakers, we wouldn't have "Are You Wake Up?" and other strange titles. Not a single person in Japan will have much of a problem pronouncing "taskinst", and the album is for the Japanese market.

preach on brudda!

haha and lmfao at "kiss o' kill." and people thought my name's women and ladies night were bad titles. other than that though, the other titles aren't bad.

can't wait ot hear them!

AMEN!! :D

I wonder why is it when Japanese people make something like "kiss o(f) kill", it's called Engrish or bad English, but when English-speakers use it, it's considered "poetic".

Personally, I call it "creative" English.

That's strange, I never thought they were bad titles. my name's WOMEN makes sense with the lyrics ("I speak for all WOMEN, so my name is WOMEN") and Ladies Night (without the apostrophe) has been used by an English-speaking artist/group: Atomic Kitten. This is not bad English, in my opinion.

STEP you and Are You Wake Up? are worse offenders.

actually i think 'kiss o' kill' is for 'kiss or kill' and not 'kiss of kill' well seems like i'm wrong... :thud

i think any true ayu fan would have to agree that ayu can do no wrong. yes there is going to be 'constructive' criticism, and i myself was a little thrown off balance by B&D, however she could come up with a crazy title like "muffin BUCKET" and make the video black and white where shes on the ceiling in a white room standing in her pjs and the lights keep dimming and going off and then keep coming back on and become blinding. and i would still love her just the same. so any strange titles dont bother me, and any instrumental is completely fine with me if they are anything like 'taskinlude' i think that was the perfect combination of instruments and catchy enough tune. im so stoked about the new album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome tracklist! :)

I want "kiss o' kill" to be a rock song!

See, I knew "Startin'" wouldn't be the first song. :P

I think "LABYRINTH" is an interlude.

OMG, I'm soooo excited! Happy. :D

Well, the English dictionary says o' means "of" or "on". "Of" is the one most used, though.

In the Japanese vocabulary, it might be a different matter. I haven't encountered o' used to mean "or" in Japanese English :)

*Drools* The tracklist sounds awesome can't wait to hear 'LABYRINTH' and 'Kiss o' Kill'

I too want kiss o' kill to be a rock song as well^^ But I don't want LABYRINTH to be an interlude :no the title's too pretty to be an interlude :P

kiss o' kill? LMAO :laugh

I like the tracklisting. :D

OMG..
WHA?
wait-wait...
THIS IS SERIOUS? TRUE? REAL?
what is this?! halt! >>> dzzzz!
"kiss o' kill"? :mischief - this is AYUMI HAMASAKI?
...

indeed, Ayumi "has secret sides, nobody has ever seen" ('ourselves, to remember), except Tomoya-honey :P

*psss-psss* ya know what I like? "momentum"! sounds a-a-a-a-lright :yes :)
thank God not "memento mori" ("rememeber of death") :laugh

okay, now I'm surely waiting for covers...have no ideas what trick Ayu will play with us this time :lech

kiss o' kill = Kiss me or die Tomoya :evillaugh
