But seasons having a different feeling is not related to Japan? Am I missing something? lol

^Japanese art deals a lot with nature, and the difference between seasons is a recurrent theme on it.

The same with Chinese art.

But, I get your point. MADE IN JAPAN > Japanese art focused on seasons -> matching aesthetic.

You're right, Japan's culture consists of many invented traditions, mostly from Chinese culture

However, it's impossible to imagine Japan's culture without those invented traditions by now and I also consider seasons to be a very important aspect of it. I can't think of one Haiku without a connection to seasons lol

I think mentioning season is actually a rule of haiku writing xD

Omg yes you're right :'D You don't need to mention the season itself but you have to use keywords that are connected to it. Sorry, I totally forgot! XD

Edit: Just saw that Zeke already explained it perfectly. I'm so ashamed that I forgot that since I had to write a Haiku at one point during my studies...

I find that NHK tends to use a lot of seasonal imagery in their promotional materials. Lots of 4 seasons / 4 beauties via idioms sorts of things.

I so want to listen to the new songs now. I seems like ayu is going to make some songs that aren't about romantic love and i'm looking forward to them.

Should be within 30 mins at most. I get the LINE notifications almost instantly!

Must be busy with lunch or something, lol.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Well I never said seasons were limited to japan lol

[truehappiness]

Whoever is in charge of her social media is probably on blast atm, tbh.

[cosmicfirefly]

I'm also checking her Instagram constantly XD I can't wait to get the entire tracklist eventually. I wonder if they're releasing the songs in the order they'll appear on the album.

[RealLight]

I think they might come in a different order

[truehappiness]

Mad World was done around 3 hours from now (while the last two were around now Pacific time) so it's possible it may take a bit longer today.

Still super excited!

[RealLight]

Maybe in an hour or two, oh gawd

[truehappiness]

Yeah... this is exciting, we haven't had something like this in ages!

[RealLight]

I'm trying my best to keep my expectations low cus I might end up disappointed *coughsAONEcoughs*, but I can't, this wait is killing me
