new album "A ONE" 2015.04.08 in stores II

[mi|kshake]

It would've been cool if Ayu had only recorded last minute as a "studio live" and had only releases that version. Similar to Olivia/trapnest "Recorded Butterflies" from the NaNa anime.

You've just reminded me that I need to listen to the Inspi' Reira album again! (I really hope Olivia comes back one day).

And random but I love the fact that A Bell is followed by WARNING and NO FUTURE! All sounds very ominous although from what I've been reading, these songs don't sound like that at all!

I don't feel the urge to skip The GIFT in the preview video so that makes it a pretty good ballad in my book. I love the piano intro too. The only disappointing factor of the song is that the rest of it doesn't follow along that melody.

She did say in an interview that for now, kids are not part of the plan.

They are usually not part of the plan but later we are getting a lot of celebrities getting married in rush just because they got pregnant

Indeed, but I think Ayu is probably very extremely careful with birth control and such.

"My friends ask me that all the time, too. I guess everything still feels like a dream. I can't see myself not working. For example, I can't imagine taking childcare leave and not standing on stage for a year. Singing is still the most important thing to me."

Ayu has never struck me as the type to want children.

Same. Kuu has been going on about wanting one that she can hold on stage while singing Cutie Honey, or some other absurd shit, and got her little shotgun blessing, as did Amuro. But, I can't really remember Ayu ever talking about wanting kids.

On another note, not feeling any of the previews, but still excited for covers.

[truehappiness]

I've always thought of her dogs as the 'kids' in her life.

[ExodusUK]

omg...stop fighting please x

[Gustavopc]

I don't know why but I guess at some point when I was a noob at Jpop I may have switched some info and until very recently I thought Ayu couldn't have kids. And it made sense to me, she has a lot of PV with kids, but they always seem distant in a way, and there was Sweet Season (is that the right name) which was the master proof on this for me, but then a friend corrected me and I was like wAT

It will be soon, we still have a month away... (Even miwa's album covers haven't been released yet.)

Probably next week the covers will come out.

[Refix]

Wait... OMG I thought 4 is March lol My brain still adjusting itself at 6 am

[gogirlanime]

Song titles = anguish and anger, I'm excited!!

[pepper]

I had a dream that there was a leak of secret song T___T it was put like "flower garden" and it was called "two rides" (lol) and it was like a 2015, a bit sweet version of monochrome T___T it was so awesome, and the preview was so long I was listening to this for a hour T___T

"special"? It's literally a few chords short of being an exact copy&paste of snowy kiss. I think you're probably special.

On the upside, I feel like show must go on is actually kind of necessary. It's weird to say it, considering it is so much like snowy kiss, but I feel that the show must go on is like snowy kiss pt. 2. I think I will listen to them back to back then see if it makes the experience of listening to both songs better.

tbh, I don't really see the need to make that personal...

But it is the 'odd' structure compared to most of her recent stuff and tracks in general.

[ayumisrael]

I didn't say unique, I said special.

ayu doesn't have too many songs like that.
SURREAL, M, Mirrorcle World and Snowy kiss come to mind, but that's not a lot.

By special I mean not only verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge-no bridge/chorus-2 choruses or chorus/verse...... formula.
Thank you for calling me special as well

[tenshi no hane]

Yeah, let's back on topic. Discuss the lyrics I wasted my time translating I fucking love WARNING.
