NEXT LEVEL album tracks now available on dwango.jp! (interludes revealed)

[polka-dot-jewel]

I think you all need to realize that it's also partially Avex's decision on what goes onto the final cut of the album. Ayu just finished an album, she's planning AT09, she's filming PVs, and she's just traveled halfway around the world to do a lot of this.

Seriously. It seems like it takes a lot for Ayu to please a lot of you. Just be happy we actually have new material this year, after all the activities she did and all the problems she went through in 2008.

Maaaaaan 4 interludes?!?!?!

Well thats just a waste of time. I mean. I would soo much rather have just a 12 track album if I got only 1-2 interludes (like Duty). But 4 interludes just makes me tired to watch... Like they fool you that its more songs then there actually is.

Nah if she doesnt have time to do so many songs, please skip the interludes! Duty is her best album, its short but with 4 interludes it would have been much longer.

But offcourse, Im not one of those who will cancel my order. Im still super excited over this album!! (I just hope they wouldnt spend time on interludes they just could have tossed away from the beginning...)

[Tasked]

4 interludes is rediculous, honestly.

[ALfromHELLSING]

Why are you doing this to us Ayu?! ._.

I do not understand either... I still won't cancel my NEXT LEVEL order.
But man, this is really a HUGE disappointment. <_<

[njanjayrp]

Earth to people who are shocked cuz there are 4 interludes ~ "Have you counted the ones on GUILTY?". I really don't see what's the big deal here, did someone actually think that Ayu would really sing to Disco-munication or Load of the SHUGYO? I don't remember anyone complained about the GUILTY ones. And please stop judging the album before we actually get the chance to hear it.

[Maemi]

That's *****y.

[ohsixthirty]

sounds great to me. i still can't wait!

[Andrenekoi]

well... hope next time she make a 20 rushed tracks album so everyone can be happy cause she is realeasig a lot of new songs ¬¬

good album > long album... if this one is good, I don't care with the amount of tracks

[Dokiyo]

i dont know why people are soo mad...or disappointed....

Do you like her concerts?
Do you like how the concerts flow?
Do you buy the concerts dvds??

If so, then its because you like them ~
and its because of the interludes that allow them to be like that~ so..i dont see how people can cancel orders and start " hatin' ". The interludes are what make you want to support her when you really think about it~ you may not see it.....but....if she were to take out all the interludes ......there would be no time for changes in outfits during concerts, or nice transitions. Therefore, you would see her in one outfit.......for 2-3 hours..^^...~

It's my opinion, and im not saying you should agree. I just wanted to clear that outta my system~ X_X!

yah I agree

She should probably start labeling her interludes much like Janet Jackson does by simply putting "Interlude" in parentheses after the title. It would save a lot of disappointment to know which are interludes right away, not to mention that it's also rather misleading for a casual shopper who wouldn't know at all.

Some lyrics:

LOVE 'n' HATE

あなたに愛されたかったから
私から思い切って近づいたけど
あなたに嫌われたくないから
思いっきり遠く離れた

あなたを愛してるからこそ
あたしから消えてしまうのが一番ね
あなたを嫌いになれたんなら
もういっそ楽なのにね

EnergizE

今日の日々がたとえどんなにかっこ悪くて
なんだかんだと凹んでもくやんでも日はまた昇る
てかねあたしはそんな日々でもあんな日々でも
受け止めてくよ結局ねどんな君も好き

rollin'

世界が回る　生まれ変わるスピードで
世界が回る　生まれ変わるスピードで
混乱してゆく　絶望と欲望が交互にやってくる
今まで通りじゃ生き続けていけない

[Dokiyo]

^ @ lyrics of Energize...- .........second line of the lyrics..near the middle...~ 0__0;;....i have NEVER Seen that kanji before.....never knew something like that even existed~ lol!~ it looks soo odd~ *shows how stupid i am when it comes to the japanese language*

And thanks for the lyrics~ ^^

[Kingdom]

i am CANCELING my preorder now. i don't listen to ayumi's interludes as it is, and four is way too many for my taste.

i am so disappointed right now....

[Cyria]

4? I really like some of her interludes, but I'd much rather have full new songs.

[Moonstar]

canceling is sooooooo stupid!!
and it is 3 as brige to the sky probably will be like mirror a short song!

I have to agree with you on that, she should have made this album an 12 track album. Since it seems like she didn't have enough time or avex didn't give enough time for this album. Well I am not canceling my order since I didn't buy any of her NEXT LEVEL singles.

[Kazeyomi]

Unfortunately, some of us don't like the quantity OR the quality of GUILTY. >> I still think GUILTY was one of her weakest albums, and the shortness of it just KILLED IT, so this REALLY worries me for NEXT LEVEL.

I agreed Memorial Address is an amazing album and have just 8 songs ^^'

Anyway I don't get why people cancelling the order lol
I was expected a lot of songs and few interludes.. but I still want to buy NEXT LEVEL O_o'

[noidea]

I actually prefer a 10 tracks, 4 interludes album to a 10 tracks 2 interludes or 3 interludes album, i really love some of her interludes and they are great in concerts and for the albums flow...and with the genres found on NEXT LEVEL(probably) it just NEEDS many interludes to work! if you dislike them, just skip them! Im OK with a 10 track album + interludes album, I know ayu can make great songs and on her long albums there always were just plain bad songs included! I want another GUILTY, not many songs, but many amazing songs and interludes that REALLY fit!(you cant tell me theres an interlude not needed expect maybe reBIRTH on the album!)

[aura~]

OMG... XDD sorry but i think some of your comments are ridiculous.. is like this was the first time ayu put a lot of interludes... and, moreover, we all expected at least 3 interludes, being bridge to the sky an intro... Hey, just delate 2 interludes and you'll have an album of 12 track long, 10 full songs, 1 intro and 1 interludes... Think that first they announced it was a 13 track album... maybe they added a full song... or maybe they added an interlude... who knows... but to add an interlude leave the full songs in the same quantity of 6...

and... GUILTY had only 5 full songs and the same amount of interludes and I don't know if people got disapointed like now, secret had 7 new track though JEWEL was known since october... (miss)understtod had also only 6 new songs, memorial address only 2 of 8, I am had 5 new songs plus the secret one, Duty 6 new songs, in Lppears 7...

except asfxx and MY STORY that have 9-10 new songs the rest of albums go around the same numbre 5-6-7 new songs... is not the first time we have only 6 new tracks... but past years ayu made more releases in one year and what now are interludes, before were songs she released through the year... put in the place of discomunication and piece of seven MW and Life and that's all XD


well... this is my opinion... XDD some of you are exaggerating about cancelling orders and so... really...

[Kanzaki]

4 interludes = slightly dissapointing. But holy crap it's Ayu. Has she ever really, and I mean really dissapointed us?

Cancelling orders because of 1 or 2 extra interlude is just a dumb act upon angry impulse. For all we know, this album might be AMAZING. Why let it go because of an extra interlude? I don't get you guys, who cancelled. Geez.

I can't wait for this album! I'm über excited about posting a review of it on my blog.
