Is there a thread on this already? What started it/happened?

Japanese fans actually had legit complaints about her concerts and her 20th anniversary (tickets being too expensive, TA members getting shitty seats, too many dancers, Timmy's outfits, no release at all despite it being her 20ths etc.) and were not just bashing her. One of them asked Max to do something about it.

I'm not complaining about the complaints, but don't you think asking Max "to do something about it" crossed the borders of "talk with your employee" and went to some "watch yo sister" patronizing territory?

I won't say anything

[Mirrorcle Monster]

I wouldnt get my hopes up about differences between versions, hidden tracks etc Knowing Ayu and her team, if there was even the tiniest difference between songs they would have specifically said it

[DogboyShugo]

I like all the new covers ^^

[Andrenekoi]

^I think that was discussed on the social media thread. Max posted something on Twitter and people started asking him to do something about Ayu. He answered he would talk to her.

The Max cover being a joke about that would be amazing

Ha ha that would make sense for a change!

[Chibi-Chan]

^the "do something about..." is a translation from Japanese to English someone here came up with. Personally I would say whoever wrote it seemed angry, but I wouldn't say it was patronizing, just a clear statement that Max should talk to her since he is obviously kinda her boss. But no matter how you interpret this one statement, actually most other people and their tweets weren't disrespectful at all and just voicing their disappointment

Well, considering her status in the industry and (now I'm complaining about the complaints) the mediocrity of the complaints, I think it's very disrespectful. I mean, bad or good choices, I think these issues are not directly related to Max and claiming this "intervention" sound very immature from her fans.

the snippet sounds promising, something with Warning/identity wibe, something "selfconfident"-ish.

I can't make anything of that clip but I love both those songs so

I don't think is that "rock-ish". Maybe more on NOW & 4EVA type instead.

[RealLight]

^ Yeah, there's definitely nothing rock-ish about it.

[truehappiness]

The heavier song is probably not revealed yet.

For the three songs it seems like these people are working on them:
Tohru Watanabe composing with Takehito Shimizu and Atsushi Sato arranging (arrangement is HAL like) - this is the song we heard first
Tetsuya Yukumi composing with Yuta Nakano arranging - this is the song from tour finale
? composing with tasuku arranging - we know nothing about this besides girl power song

[AyuCanada]

Maybe she is trolling us and that demo song isn't going to be on the album at all.

[rainbow_smile]

^ That demo song is the one she posted the snippet of on twitter/instagram, the one that features the lyrics from the Tower Records promo posters. And poetry reading had lyrics from that song. So I really doubt she won't include it

[truehappiness]

I will say that for this single song she's really pushing it in unorthodox methods. What's next? Morse code version?
