[pepper]

^ if it's true that's just simply stupid for me. It's something like Lady Gaga would name her song "LG song" lol

[truehappiness]

Well, it was asked on Twitter, and Ayu said that was correct. Very interesting to have a ballad titled that though, haha.

Don't know why, but I like the reason for the capitalized AN.. ^__^

Two of Ayu's biggest selling singles are titled with her initials; I don't see how this is much different.

Lol, yeah for the studio it certainly is.

Depends on the way you look at it, I guess. I tend to compare minis to singles (K-pop has done that to me XD) and found I'd rather pay 1,800y for 5 new songs than 2 songs, two instrumentals I'll never listen to and a DVD I'll rarely watch. Especially in Ayu's case, since her music videos usually end up on the album DVD anyway. A mini-album system would work for me since I usually get the CD only but for others who buy the CD/DVD it would definitely break the bank.

Same here!!!

[oneheart]

wow that was random. XD

[adantatu2]

11 months without a new single, wow, i hope she can release some singles this year too

[cosmicfirefly]

Really excited for this mini album and the videos, especially her song with JUNO!!

[Larisa-chan]

I think both Juno and Naota have good voices, but I'm not sure how well they (would) mesh with Ayu's. Ayu's voice sounded really strained in Dream On... I hope with these new songs she's not like WHOAAAAA YAY YAY YAYYYYYYYYYAUH and I hope that instead she exhibits some control over her vocals....

[TeamAyu2004]

I wish she would of singled some stuff before making a mini album... I know this has been said before, but it just feels like a mega single with five new songs

[leafyamazaki]

Awesome news. I just went and pre-ordered the CD+DVD edition. Very excited. Can't wait to see the covers.

LOL. Sounds like a sequel for Beyonce's 4 to me.

[Kazeyomi]

I wonder how covers will looks.
And if the illustrated cover will be like Ayu alà Tales of.. characters design. If it were true, I'll gonna preorder it asap

I just had the biggest brain freeze cause I sat there and went "A"... and "H"... OMFADSF;JKLASD;FDAFKL;JDFG! That IS HER INITIALS!"

....I can't believe I just realized that....

[kumikomishitate]

^ LMFAO

[krazeyo]

LMFAO! SRSLY? :O

I'd like to see what happens with FIVE before making any judgments!

[LacusClyne]

At least I know Leslie is shooting the cover, so I don't need to be mentally prepared for any horrid covers....

[NintendoHTF1242]

^ Where's the info confirming he's gonna shoot it?

[HEAVEN~Destiny~]

^Wasn't it discussed on twitter a while ago..? I think she meant the mini-album instead of a single though...
