Sorry if this misled u to think it's exactly equal to an AOV.

wow~~~thanks for the cool piece of news!

MY STORY classical? Sounds interesting :yes thanks for the news :D

hmm, can't wait for her next single. all her songs rock!

MY STORY CLASSICAL looks promising.

Thank you for the info.

MY STORY CLASSICAL oh my ._O I can't wait!!!! about you and honey as acoustic orchestra-typish!! ^^

yay! i'm like one of the only people who hasn't seen anything from countdown 04-05 so i'll be getting that.^^

i wanna know what the classical album will be like...i hope it is not just another AOV, but something more inspiring!

MY STORY CLASSICAL is not AOV, it is sth like "ayumi hamasaki meet the classic"(sth like that, can't remember), there are no AYU's voice, just music

This years releases sounds extremly promising! I can't wait to hear MY STORY classical..

thank you very much!
I can't wait until her next single will appear

wahhhh I have to wait until mid-april for the next single?!?!! :( :( nooo.. (I have 0 patience <3)

thanks so much for the news! The MY STORY Classical ver sounds interesting :D

New single~!!!
hoshiine!!!!

wow! i will be looking forward for her 35th single!

it probably isnt 'ayu meets classic', cos these non-vocal albums didnt even make it to the official website. now it is listed in the official site, i think it should feature ayu's vocals.

so i think her 35th single wont be a rereleased from the album huh??

Hm...I might get MY STORY CLASSICAL, but I probably won't, since I want to save my money...

Good good news. Truly exciting. It will be nice to get Countdown Live on DVD, and MY STORY Classical? I am interested...

According to the article following the name of the album, the tracks will be recorded by the Paris Lamoureux Orchestra, a well known French Orchestra. Or at least directed by Yutaka Sado, who is the Chief Conductor of this orchestra

And it seems the vocals will be included (cf 勿論本人ヴォーカル入り ).

I like the idea of being able to hear HAPPY ENDING in classical instruments a lot. Hope the cover is nicer than the actual MY STORY cover is though x_o
