New album titled 'MADE IN JAPAN'

[stivenoto]

^ NOOOOOOOOOOO... It's a nightmare

[pimenta]

I think I'm the only one who doesn't mind the diary songs... I love both summer and winter diary.

^ I love Summer diary, but I'm not a huge fan of Winter diary. I mean, I don't mind its existence as long as it stays out of the next album. It's cute on the A7 Classical.

I wonder if it has something to do with her hair color.

I honestly hope Winter diary is in the album... I would be disappointed if it isn't.

Winter diary is nice while I can't stand Summer diary, but hell to the no if she gives us another Diary series, enough with this basic mess.

^I'd be MORE than disappointed if IT IS.

Writes TA entry about Spring, album releases sometime during Spring/Summer, includes obscure winter Christmas song that was used only to promote the last classical album? I would be so mad lol

She wrote another TA entry about "Rainy season" (basically summer), and promised to post another one tomorrow, so I'm pretty sure she's going post a "chapter" for every season. Besides, the article posted earlier in this thread mentioned that the songs remind of four seasons, so seems like that's kind of the theme of the album lol

Tbh I don't think including winter diary into an album released on the summer is that much different from including summer singles on an album released on the winter, and no one seems to complain about that...

i adore summer diary and i would totaly love to see another diary song on the new album, even if its the most clichee and classic ayu movement.
On the other hand, i think winter diary would not fit in this kind of release. it was being promoted as a classic christmas song (if im not wrong ?). therefore it can stay, for me, there where it is on the winter classical album. ( i like winter diary. its just not listenable for every day)

I figured it was a cute nod at NEXT LEVEL. I don't think they would name drop an album for any reason other than a nod/reference for Ayu fans to get. Tsuriko/Takako Tsuriya has done nearly all of the official Ayu interviews/articles since the beginning of her career so I could see her putting in little things that only fans would "get" as an easter egg.

I am now looking forward to the next day because we will get to know a new song title. Can't wait for today's post!

I actually like Mad World. Sounds like a song that can fits dgray men opening lol

What are the odds of the album being surprise-released digitally when the tour starts? I'm so over these slow physical releases... It's 2016, just release the album immediately online world-wide. I haven't bought an Ayu album since LOVE again because waiting on international shipping to listen to new music is too long, and I only bought that because I was in Taiwan at the time.

Edit: I'm also so over avex and their "short version" PVs. Just put the damn vid on YouTube! That's how you get coverage for your artists!

[Aderianu]

We can expect anything. We got full Colours before even knowing album title

[truehappiness]

I think since we know Ayu worships some Western divas, she could potentially drop it digitally. We don't even have preorders! No PVs though unless she somehow filmed them all already.

[Gustavopc]

She doesn't even has to go overseas for examples, Kuu just released a surprise single on the first day of her tour (not digitally tho), so maybe it could all be a part of a trend avex is moving?

[truehappiness]

I made some mockups since I was reminded of the shoot in the other thread! I wonder if she would do a lengthy digipak again since these photos would deserve that kind of treatment, so that is the 'concept' I went with.

^ I liked the 2nd one

The only thing I will miss about Leslie Kee is his strength in producing STRONG and ICONIC photos.
