People upset about the Ayu mini album!!

[DerrickRocks]

i am having mixed feelings as are alot of people what do you think went wrong with the studio production? or was this planned?

[Qt Mashi]

hmmmm...yes i am sad but i think Ayu just wants to take it easy this year so i'm fine with that just ganbatte Ayu!

[sexysaucestar]

A mini-album may be a wise decision, since we don't want Ayu to feel pressured to push out a full album every year. Don't want her to rush the album releases. Perhaps she's busier this year anyway.

She started off with promoting and releasing Startin'/Born To Be..., then the rehearsal for AT06 probably started. After AT06 she went over to promoting BLUE BIRD and it was released shortly after, then it was most likely time for a-nation '06 rehearsals, a-nation didn't end much more than a month ago (I think?) and during that time she's been busy in the US, working on the new album, and now, with a new album coming, new photoshoots and new TV performances to practice for, she'll probably be kept quite busy.

Or who knows, maybe she slacked through all of it.

On much of her free time she's probably been working on songs, while relaxing.

I don't mind if the new songs and pvs on the mini album are good....better than the 2006 singles! Please no more of that luis stupid guy and bring back that wataru guy!!

memorial address:
angels song
greatful days
because of you
ourselves
hanabi ep II
no way to say
forgiveness
memorial adress (bonus track)

I like 5 songs out of the 8. (Dont like angels song, greatful days, forgiveness) Memorial address has a darker/ sad theme

new mini album:
Startin
born to be
blue bird
beautiful fighters
JEWEL
1LOVE
*new song
*hopefully a bonus track

So far this album gives me a happy pop feeling. (I dont like) and the songs don't really go together...I'm really hoping the new song will be a ballad and if there is a bonus track, that will also be a ballad but a powerful one like memorial address.

[hallelujah_united]

I'm just happy that she's still releasing decent stuff. Doesn't matter if it's a full album or mini album really.

[bulmasman]

I have absolutely no problems with a mini album at all and i'm surprised people can complain about it. End of the day, we're getting a new album (albeit mini) but look at other artists... sometimes you won't get an album for 2+ years so really we have no reason to be unhappy. Also, Memorial Address was a great mini album, and i think when My Story followed, it benefitted from it. (less songs to improve upon, more time to work on the new tracks, a "possibly" more relaxed Ayu)

[DerrickRocks]

i agree i was just in shock at the outburst that occured in the chat rooms. I mean i was shocked then happy then felt let down then happy again lol its weird but i am anticipating this album very much plus i dont listen to half the songs on full albums anyway lol

[bulmasman]

^ lol i listen to all the songs on full albums, but i'm fine with a mini because apart from anything else... i don't listen to ayu's singles

[DerrickRocks]

lol that makes it easier for you to accept a mini album i mean it cant be all that bad i am excited now its almost like when "Memorial" came out but we get an new track i think memorial address take 2 was leaked a month before the album came out lol but the photo book inside should be colorful and plus her concert DVD released so late in the year that could be a reason for a mini album also

[alternarist]

yeah i am disappointed because it is not wat i expected.. 2 singles den a mini album. thats worse than 2003. but i am still happy that ayu is releasing an album ... we need not wait anymore..

[DerrickRocks]

yeah i know how u feel i guess the s new songs may be excellent that is what i am hoping for because alot of people are losing faith in Ayu i appreciate her work of back then but now its so stale it seems i am hoping this mini album does somthing and is arranged right

[Raleigh]

Well it's disappointing because I guess we've been waiting for so long for some news of something big to come out and yet all we get is a mini album. It's kinda a let down. Hopefully the content will make up for it.

[DerrickRocks]

i hope there are surprises in it but Ayu doesnt do that anymore....

[AyuGAME]

i just hope that this mini album can sales pretty well...
i really feel that its the time for ayu to release her 2nd best album, and i REALLY SURE that it will sales VERY-VERY WELL...
but just see next ayu action

[royle]

ya!! I am really disappointed!! Cause there will be only one ballad in this mini album which is JEWEL!

Give me a winter ballad single ayu!!!

[AyuGAME]

^i dont know that you love ballad song very much
i was a ballad sucker too..haha

yeah just hope the best for ayu and i definitely BUY this album

[Terri]

Can't always get what we want

Although she IS making some "interesting" decisions

[realize_!]

I'm not upset at all!! I'm actually kinda relieved there's a new album!!

let's see ( possibly an 8 track album again )

Startin'
Born to be...
BLUE BIRD
Beautiful Fighters
1LOVE
JEWEL
new song

Since we're not hearing full versions of 1LOVE and JEWEL yet that's 4 new songs to balance out the other 4 mediocre songs.

edit: forget it, just read it's a 7 track album.... now I'm sad
