Or maybe the album will be named XVI or 16 and has 16 songs. Though currently i also opt for sth with "new". Knowing life, apart from the fact that Ayu has been repetitive lately, she can be suprising as well and im expecting sth we don't expect. If you look that she started changing her routines, different way of producing album, new people, new concept of tour, emphasising that now it's her 16th anniversary (who does that?), her new approach to private life. All of that gives me hope that we can expect something new in music as well. Also considering names involved in new album production this will need promotion so people hear new material. When it comes to Ayu and her work on musical material i have high hopes and expectations, but i am afraid Avex will ruin it with lack of PROPER promotion and even if we get great music, it will be simply lost. I want a boom, sudden boom of the name "ayumi hamasaki" so she is heard of on large scale, even for a short moment.
