[Unconfirmed] New spring 2015 song/single!

[pepper]

PV for Last Minute is like getting Sparkle PV after single which was awesome *_*

I just hope she won't focus on ballads/medium tracks/western electronic and everything will be fine. I don't care about the titles/covers tbh (my favorite albums have the worst covers ) as long it will be good music. But can't say.. I'm sooo curious for the titles Not for album really, but tracks titles

LOL you left her nothing to work with. XD

I wouldn't mind more western or electronic in general but a few more cool rock songs could be great.

[Toniayu123]

I need more Ayu's rock with this album, I really miss her rock songs so much

[mi|kshake]

I'd love to have 7 PVs! If they PVs are shot in the US, I hope they're done in a studio rather than on location.

haha 7 PV'S . we won't get youll see ... there will be 5tracks with 3 interludes so the album will have more than 10 songs listed. youll see this is going to happen

i hope for 2,3 rock songs
1,2 songs like lelio/movin on without you
and i dont hope but we will get 1, 2 ballads for sure. i mean, its ayu!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

My cynical roommate said: she's probably making a video for last minute because every other new song is gonna be a ballad.

To which I lol'd haha

Masashi Muto is gonna be the director! (same director as Zutto...-to which im shocked about LOL-, 1 LOVE and others)

PV making for Last minute at the last minute...I LOVE YOU AYU!

[mizuki-7]

I don't know but I imagine this album quite versatile like Secret ... Now we know that the ARENA 2015 is a continuation of CDL she probably creates songs in substitution of others maybe a poignant opening song like duty, an upbeat tune to replace GAME & 1 LOVE maybe something to replace the ENCORE etc... of course there will be slow and medium songs but I don't see a LOVE AGAIN part II at all but we will see ^^

I don't think 1 LOVE can be replaced though HAHAH. that performance was so rehearsed it just has to be kept.

She can do good rock yet. She just needs to prioritize it and not half-ass it. Well, the arrangers I should say. For me, the last epic rock song was Microphone. I want more in that style though!

agreed. She needs another kickS rock song like Microphone, talkin' 2 myself, GAME etc..

[Zeke.]

SAKURA was so dreary. It's not bad, but it's not something I want a replica of.

[Zeke.]

I adore reminds me, that's my dreary; its emotional heartbreaking and powerful. I adore how even the intro is packed with so much emotion. The chords build into a deeper and deeper sadness until you can feel the sadness begin to be taken over by anger. It's genius. For me it is so much better than Last minute in all aspects.

SAKURA is dreary in a way that feels drawn out. Idk it makes me feel like I'm window shopping, lol. Or sitting in a restaurant, which makes sense considering I believe it was inspired by her having a meal with a close (now passed away) friend in a restaurant.

And wow, GUILTY is so good for me. It felt fresh yet completely hamasaki ayumi. There's nothing that strays too far from her sound, but all the songs are somewhat fresh in their own sense. To me, it was her last album that was able to pull that off and walk that fine line.

[Zeke.]

Seriously never got the dislike for GUILTY. It's such a mystery to me! Certainly more enjoyable than Rock'n'Roll Circus. GUILTY is actually extremely cohesive. I'd say it is one of her most cohesive? Rock'n'Roll is one of the least cohesive, as is NEXT LEVEL.

For me, GUILTY is the last album that can be lumped comfortably in with the era that began with Memorial address.

RAINBOW
-----
Memorial address
MY STORY
[(miss)understood]
Secret
GUILTY
-----
NEXT LEVEL

I see a dividend between GUILTY and NEXT LEVEL. (miss)understood is almost like it's own era because the SWEETBOX content is very different (but the singles like STEP you, is this LOVE?, etc all fit).

GUILTY I can listen to pretty much all the tracks. Rock'n'Roll on the other hand, I go there to listen to Microphone and let it continue through countdown and often times listen to BALLAD and sometimes Last links but then the rest is just really bad and disjointed and kind of just like bad execution all over the place. For me, the majority of the songs on Rock'n'Roll Circus give off this feeling that they think they are cooler and more grand than they really are, which just makes it seem REEEEEAALLY forced. Lady Dynamite is such a mess, and Slt as well as Don't look back are not enjoyable.

[hayasaki]

I really wish that the new album would have a strong intro track and interludes here and there. I miss those. The ones we got on Love Again weren't really that great IMO. Give me Kaleidoscope, Never ending dream, Labyrinth and such ayu!!

[pepper]

we have already 3 ballads, so she can make some medium filler tracks. I think it can look like this
(random order)
1. zutto
2. walk
3. last minute
4. interlude
5. interlude
6. ballady/medium filler track
7. pop song (like movin'/leilo)
8. electronish/rock (like snowy kiss/last angel etc)
9. rock track (completely random, it can be another ballad or sth like microphone)
10. "that one big track everyone loves" like kiss o'kill, return road, mirrorcle world, song 4 u
11. sweet summer song/sweet "feelthelove or you&me" song type
12. "that one another filler track everyone hates"
13. something unexpected
14. maybe another interlude or anything she have in mind.

i think it can look like that tbh. but i wish for more rock/fast tracks. Something also similar to Sexy little things, Eyes, smoke, magic, BRILLANTE, Love song, do it again, Don't look back, Tell me why, Pride (!!!) - that tracks you can't directly describe with genre!

[Aderianu]

Few years ago everyone was filled with ballads today I will be glad to see only ballads on this album

[Delirium-Zer0]

Nooooooo way. All ballads and no rock makes Zer0 an unhappy listener.

If there isn't something to break up the monotony of a ballad album or something to slow down the oversaturated energy of a dance album, that's never a fun listening experience.

[adantatu2]

Her last good rock song for me was Return Road. I prefer another album with edm tracks than an album with more rock songs tbh.
