I wonder if the tweets to ayu will have any kind of impact.

I'm sure she's rushing to the recording studio right now to record 10 more tracks after all the sweet and encouraging tweet's she's received today

[Bigtop]

Ever since Max Matsuura has been kicked out of Twitter it seems I'm not showing some love with Ayu very much. Even with the announcement of more details regarding this album. I do NOT have plans to buy this, and if I had any plans to buy this, assuming I bought the two mini-albums, I might not have bought it either...

If the japanese fans seem happy/not bothered about it, western tweets will probably not have any effect. ): If they start talking and tweeting her about it, I imagine she would at least talk about it.

[truehappiness]

I think the Japanese reaction is pretty positive (compared to here), if not neutral. Some people who were on the edge though probably are fuming but that's always the case.

[microphone]

Can anyone in Japan (or fluent in Japanese and part of a Japanese ayu fan community) chime in?

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

ugh...I feel like the Japanese fans aren't gonna care. annoying.

[Diego-kun]

Ok, now it's 100% official that Ayu wants to destroy her career (or as Arama they didn't posted: "Lose the 10 fans she has left lol). I'm not pissed because I'm not a huge fan anymore and I haven't bought anything since FIVE. However, I honestly think her loyal fans don't deserve this. It seems as if Ayu is laughing at them...

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^dramatic but kinda true.

[JackieRos]

wtf was the point in releasing those "mini albums"

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^we just have to consider them as singles

[JackieRos]

I considered them singles from the beginning .

I love song 4 u and snowy kiss, I'm kind of intrigued in buying it. Jeez that's a first.

[Gubsi]

the meltdowns here made me day, especially when it was so obvious this album turns out to be like this! #stilllaughing

you know if those pseudo-mini-albums were labeled as singles everyone would be like: OMG BEST RELEASE EVUR FLAWLESS AMAZING WOAHAHA ILHJKGSBLUSGHIL
BUT now most people like: omg i cancel my order, i'm not a fan anymore, she's not the "good" ayu anymore, she's destroying the rest of her career etc yadda yadda... #lmaoimcrying
and tweeting her ur dissapointment is just really hilarious as hell!
come on guys, keep it cute and throw some logic around!
LOVE and again are singles, just labeled as Mini's, cause avex want to hold on Ayu's #1 Single Streak!

funny thing is my spotify playlist is called LOVE again and i told my friend i would scream & laugh when she names her album "LOVE again"... well...

so basically what i can say...!?
i am very happy about this release and i knew it would have alle the songs from LOVE, again & You and Me!
covers are beautiful and i'm gonna get the CD+DVD+GOODIES, which has the best one!
and it won't be hard to get those Goodies Version for me and my friend if so many people cancel their order! lolol
song titles are really nice!
the only thing i don't like about this is that the only "new PV" is Melody...
Which is a good thing, BUT at least a second new PV for SAKURA or whatever would be great!
And if those songs are in the same quality as the PV songs i know i'll love this to hell, so welcome #3 in my fave Ayu Album List besides (miss)understood and Love songs!

[adantatu2]

I'm so happy !!! I love the covers and the tracklist is good !!!
I'm going to buy this, but maybe i could wait for the next release, because it could be a REPACKAGE album of LOVE again.
Now you have to consider the future mini-albums as singles.

And You & Me is added probably because is part of the trilogy.

I LOVE AHS, DRAMA is ALL

I'm agreeing with you now. [Although I'm one of those who was "tricked" to buy LOVE and again] You know what? I'm blaming only myself, for being stupid and naive. And what's done is done. So, I'm not complaining anymore. I should have seen this [unfortunately, I'm naive by nature, not only with this, but in all things.]
I mean, 14 new songs + 6 new from minis? Not logical at all. That's just over the top. Haha, what a silly little girl I am!

Plus I did get some remixes at least. And I haven't watched PVs yet, so just gonna hold that for LOVE again.
Now I'm just gonna avoid listening to LOVE and again and just spare the remixes to my iPhone. And besides, they still ARE good songs, although I have them two times now, and usually don't buy singles.

And still, I ordered the Limited CD + DVD ed.~
And there's still that "buy all 5, get extra" thing coming...

well, i bought LOVE and again as well, BUT it's ok for me!
Ayu is one of the few artists i want to buy all singles, albums and mini's (and mostly main best of's like A BEST and sometimes Compilations like A BALLADS if it's worth it), so i would have them anyway...

i can understand if some are kinda dissapointed, BUT i don't see the the point being winy and throwing stones at her...
we should be happy that we get new music and seriously i am more satisfied with an album that i know i'll probably love most of the songs than something like Party Queen which has some good songs but nothing more...

[PoetGirl]

after the first shock I can live with that. Its the same number of old and new tracks and covers are stunning!! reminded me of AZU.
