Those mu-mo goods are terrible =\ Well, at least they're free??

I had a premonition that we'd get a bonus track in there so I hope that happens Been too long since we had a hidden track!

yea agreed, it's not worth all the prices and the shipping fee to just have a notebook and a A paper clip?

Not on the mini "Memorial address" but on " A BEST 2 -BLACK-" after "part of Me" (but maybe you were already referring to the last one).
The last time we got a hidden track was on "FIVE", wasn't it? "Why... feat. Urata Naoya", but that one's not much to have IMO so...

[TeamAyu2004]

i would like a real hidden track... lol
although FIVE was hidden, it was a remix... A BEst 2 black we had it before...
which was it different at all?

the last time with a new song was... what? Rainbow? Its been soooooo long! lol.

[Delicious n Bold]

Where are dem previews?

[truehappiness]

Probably next week for sure or even early next week unless they keep the songs hidden until the week of release which is not unheard of.

[SKYia]

this album will be released the moment I start winter holidays, I'm not sure to what I'm counting down

[truehappiness]

I think she just needs to try to be more conceptual with covers and people will be into it. Even just what she's wearing needs to be a bit more interesting (see FIVE) and we'll be good. That Party Queen scrapped shoot should NOT have been scrapped imo.

I think she (her team?) lacks creativity when it comes to concepts and I have a feeling they are really trying hard to sell the love theme FIVE was quite nice compared to the majority of covers she has had in years.

As for Party Queen I am not sure if those pretty pictures would actually save it...sure it would look nice, but they're still uninspiring and quite predictable

People love the Secret cover... The "more conceptual covers" argument fails.

Let's get real, most people over here just want her looking pretty with extravagant outfits and a hairstyle they can open a thread to discuss about.

[truehappiness]

It's really odd though when people who don't really know the concept see the album (Party Queen) though, haha. -has had that happen several times-

Lately there really has been a bit too much "soft!LOVE!!!" cover in Ayu-land, but I think we'll get something nice sooner rather than later. This may be the end of the love train after all!

I think the ones they've chosen in the end still work better than the other ones which do look nice, but are rather predictable.

I sure hope the love train has reached it's destination

[TeamAyu2004]

it effects people differently... I for one hated the FIVE covers... they were a total mess.
Where as Secret i loved, as with I am. Love songs was nice, LOVE again are nice as well.

Party Queen was a mess as well, but in a good way since they are supposed to be that way...
I hope to never see covers like FIVE again, lol...
OMG, next mini album:
FIVE again.
lol.

[Delicious n Bold]

Maybe the end of the love train marks the beginning of the sad, depressing angsty train!
ASFXX part 2! THE IMPACT!

[Jawdarna]

Two weeks, six days.

[TeamAyu2004]

YAY!!! cant wait!
also... maybe next week we will find out the final release.

[truehappiness]

This is gonna be insane.

A BEST 3 is kind of what I am thinking will happen, but I will be happy with anything else.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

No A Best 3

Although she'd still put some new stuff on it, so we'd still be getting something new lol.
But...I only support the idea of best albums if the artists go all out and perform and promote. Best albums just released and left to fail are so annoying. Like girl next door best album was horrible and pointless :-p

[truehappiness]

Yeah, that pretty much flopped harder than any of their albums, haha. It sold what, 9,000?

[RylanJames0]

Ayu is too fake now it seems after agreeing with what a friend told me.. and the British man from the NaNaNa song is singing live with her too I am told?


If it's A Best 3, I have lost hope in anything good coming out of her and sad I did not get into her earlier on and not just last year because her releases are lazy and A Summer Best was not needed along with all of these. Not bad, but it's not something I'd want in my discograpghy.
