Chances of ayu releasing new MINI album?

alternarist · #1 17th August 2007, 06:52 PM

well, ayu has only 4 more months to release any singles and an album and until now, ayu has confirmed releasing 2 singles. So there's not much time left. and this yr's schedule has been much the same as 2003, when ayu released her 1st mini album. What's more? ayu was scheduled to release a mini album in 2006. Will she continue with her plan which she didnt follow last year?????

hope not.

Who's saying she HAS to release before the end of the year? She could put it off til late January or February

ummm im lost, when did ayu say she'd release a mini-album?

alt.total-loser · #6 17th August 2007, 07:03 PM

^ Never. We're just wondering if she might do it this year.

I don't think so. Her tenth anniversary is a huge milestone; I think she'll want to do something more dramatic than a mini-album. I believe she has enough material for a full-length one, actually.

If the story about the winter ballad is true, she should have six '07 single tracks. Easy enough to add a couple of tracks for a mini album, but I hope she'll do a little more work and release a full album.

She already did A BEST 2, how much more dramatic can it possibly go?

Haha, exactly. What I meant to say is that after something as explosive as A BEST 2, a mini-album seems a little...empty? I think another full-length album would be best to celebrate her tenth anniversary. To have only six-seven songs to commemorate such an event seems un-Ayu to me.

I'd say otherwise. For her 5th year in the industry, she released A BALLADS right after RAINBOW, and what came out at the end of the year was Memorial address. Full lenth album or not, I'd still enjoy it, just that I wouldn't be surprised if it was a mini album.

^ Hmm, good point there with the full length album followed by BEST album followed by mini-album sequence analysis. I guess I can see it happening after all.

I personally don't think we'll be getting any type of album this year. I think she'll hold off until her 10th anniversary next year

**ayumisrael** · #14 17th August 2007, 09:48 PM

I think that ayu can release a new studio album on March/April, she doesn't have to release an album on December/January, well her 10th anniversary is on April so I think that both it's a bit saying that the next album will be a full-length studio album and will be released around March or April, of course it's not 100% but that's what I think at this time ^_^.
and with 4 singles I doubt that it will be a mini-album.
mini-albums tops have 2/3 singles to promote them xD.

truehappiness · #15 17th August 2007, 09:53 PM

She's just gonna do a full album probably, and have some sort of amazing grand 50 stop tour. :/ I don't see why a mini-album wouldn't be possible, because she's got enough material with four single songs.. :/

Or another A MUSEUM.

tokyoxjapanxfan · #16 17th August 2007, 10:43 PM

i think it will be a full album rather than a mini album. however, either way it'll still be great.

#17 17th August 2007, 10:53 PM

i think she should've swapped A BEST 2 and right now around..
would've made next year more special. (:

AGREED.

cloud♥honey · #19 17th August 2007, 10:56 PM

Oh why? I hate mini-albums. I'd like to see a new full album. A damn good album for up her sales. It does includes "talkin' 2 myself" and because it I think it'll be a bigger sucess.

Memorial Address was great, but I she just can't pull off anything like it ever again. It was close to a masterpiece, with every song being a "single-quality" song - hearing what she's been releasing recently, I doubt she can come up with another set at the same level as MA.

Secret sold barely 350k in the first week, if it was a mini-album - as originally planned - it would probably have sold barely 200k...
