whatever amazon dose... I dont ave a choice in which one they do.. I think international orders are all the same.

I don't know why I have this feel after listening LOVE
1. Song 4 u -> a song giving me feeling the album A SONG FOR XX (some idea from A Song For xx)
2. Missing -> a song giving me feeling the album LOVEppears (just the feeling)
3. Melody -> a song giving me feeling the album Duty (sounds like Key)

So perhaps, "again" will have
1. A song give me feeling the album I am...
2. A song give me feeling the album RAINBOW
3. A song give me feeling the album My Story

i agree Melody sounds like Key!

Don't put too much thinking into ayu's work because It's obvious she doesn't.

I'm talking about the crazy theories/analysis and so on...

Same. It's so tiring you can come up with over a billion possibilities. The one thing that really gives me a kick is when people make up there own song titles and tracklist that never existed...I'm just like o_O what....I don't even.

interesting.
It seems to me that Song 4 u is Progress chapter 2 considering their lyrics and arrangements. Ayu's collab with Yuta Nakano always is my fav.
Melody somehow reminds me of Friend(from A Song for XX). Maybe it's because they both are written by Yasuhiko Hoshino.

Even if some people think/thought this proposal is/was... a bit out there, I nocurr. I want 3 like-tracks from those albums. I need an "Over meets Hanabi" ballad, an "i am... meets dearest" ballad and a "liar meets happy ending" ballad ASAP.

[isthisLOL?]

Missing felt more like a Love Song leftover to me.
Song 4 u is a straight Nana Mizuki-ripoff (or any current Anison really).
And Melody is so generic, you could compare it to any other generic midtempo band ballad in the J-Pop business and it would sound similar. That's the type of stuff you can get from every Pop girl out there.

[isthisLOL?]

LOVE was her old stuff all over again. Maybe she's trolling us and again will be something fresh.

I'm hoping it was just because of the season and the LOVE theme that she gave us this sound.

Really hoping again is not like love songs. I'm sorry Ayu, but I've had enough.

Maybe now this sound is an ayu staple and we'll never be rid of it.

oh god no...

give me something new ayu! i need some unique songs, ones that don't sound so similar.

surprise us with something like ladies night, lady dynamite, sexy little things, hanabi ~ep ii~, rainbow, etc... something that sounds very different.

[njanjayrp]

I guess there is little point in guessing stuff, especially since we know so little about the release.

[TeamAyu2004]

I do wonder if there is any hidden meaning behind again, music wise.

If anything, her last mini album was titled LOVE, so why not that she is in LOVE, again?

I personally don't think there is anything pointing towards that. So far all the suspicions are pretty much baseless. again is prolly the title of one of the songs.

[TeamAyu2004]

That could be it too... I don't want to make too many assumations until after this release... We have 5 releases, so are they going to be related or not, we don't know as of it, but after this release we might get some answers.
But LOVE didn't have a title song, so I'm also basing the next release off of that. But they could also just not be related at all...
I want a freakin track listing already. Lol.

[Delicious n Bold]

The title may just be like that because Ayu felt like it XD
It might also have to do with the lyrical themes.

[AyuGAME]

for me Missing is kind of something coming from I am... rather than LOVEppears

[JackieRos]

Missing is in that pile with her worst ballads for me.
