"Colours" out July 2nd + PREMIUM SHOWCASE ~Feel the love~ starting May 30th~ [III]

[mi|kshake]

Is anybody waiting until the album release to listen to the new songs?

I've only heard Feel the Love and a snippet of Pray.

So happy the album is called Colours and not Feel the Love. Can't wait to see the covers although it will be hard to live up to Rainbow!

Oh, well, Colours was the best choice between all the rumours, and even if I'm not crazy about it, she can work with a title like this.
All the potential for covers, booklet and general theme!

That would be very cool.

see? the title has so much potential for something really creative, but knowing Ayus team....i am not expecting anything grand xD

i am sure lots of us here can come up with amazing ideas more than what Ayu's team could. Though they can surprise us, i am in doubt, but who knows xD

But then again, are we even sure we know the full track list? *hopeshopeshopes*

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

we don't. I'm hoping for a title track, or at least one more song, and an intro/interludes.

[rookies]

The album title sounds interesting, hope we get covers soon.

How would you guys feel if the only songs we got were everything she's released so far? No intros, no interludes, and nothing new. Just Feel the love, Merry-go-round, Tell all, Hello new me, etc.

Like I would still buy the album cause I love Ayu; but I would be really, really underwhelmed cause her promoting technique this time around is a little bizarre.

Actually, I would love that. It'd make Colours (omg, feels so nice to be able to name it) a truly unique, new album for Ayu.
Short, yet explosive. Yep, I like the idea.

She is introducing the album to the public before selling it, that's why she called it showcase... All the "I didn't like that song before seeing it live" thing will be avoided and people won't buy it at the venue (as it will not be released before the showcase ends), so, there won't be Oricon counting only 33% of the venue sales, etc...

Her main consumers still are japanese people, not us...

[truehappiness]

Hm.... seems like some Japanese fans think it could be 'Colours' because of the 'ours' in it. So Colours?

[Coelacanth]

As far as we know, 'Tell all' won't be included.

It should be, tho. If it were done right, 'NOW & 4EVA' would be the final track and then 'Tell all' as the hidden.

I don't mind the short album or that we already have everything. For all we know, she probably already has her next single release lined up anyway—unless she's taking a break.

[hayasaki]

I'm loving the title. I hope if this album is a success, it'll lead into a new tour that'll span through fall-spring. OMG that'll be awesome. Ayumi Hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2014-2015 ~colours~.

[brener]

that would be awesome!

[freedreamer]

too bad she released RED LINE, GREEN and BLUE BIRD XD

I wouldn't mind no new tracks, but I'd like to have at least an intro. I'm still hoping for a title track to pop up though !

The promoting technique is actually quite good : "showcasing" the songs at each venue was quite clever, what is stupid is giving the full versions 1 month before the release, imo.

But she can make up for that if the covers/PV are exciting !

Maybe Yellow Fever will be the next coming song.

This release is a MESS. So no new songs? That's it? Bye excitement, thanks avex marketing.

And seriously Hello new me - Pray - Angel - Terminal in a row in the middle of the album? That totally breaks the flow! These are all slow, long songs. Hello new me and Pray should've been at the end or separated or something... NOW & 4EVA as a last song? Ugh.

[BlackSilence]

lol it's funny how you people expected a surprise from this xD ahahahaaaaa~
