it has nothing to do with being a stan, you're just always negative.
why don't you spare us for once.

regardless of the singles, anyone would be excited if there was an album announcement from their favorite artist.

Wasn't it explained in your Welcome to AHS! package?

A "stan" is a fan of an artist who basically reveres said artist like a god and thinks of anyone who doesn't a Nazi.

just take the good that we're getting a new album and leave the complaints at the door. That's coming from ME here. There's no reason to down play the album until we have real information about it. THEN you can be as negative as you want

there's nothing wrong with being optimistic, you might want to try it sometime. it's not like it makes you a stan either.

But optimism/high expectations is like the #1 letdown/ruiner. R'n'R was described by Ayu as the best product from Hamasaki Ayumi...

IMO R'n'R has some of her best tracks since Secret. Besides, in one of the magazine interviews I read (translated by Misa, so I'll have to see if I can find it again) she said her favourite album is always her most recent one, because it's the closest to the person that she is at that moment.

R'n'R was the latest album, therefore the most authentic to the Ayu of that time, that's why it's the best for her.

well, not for me. since it's ayu, I always keep my expectations extremely high for her releases and I'm hardly ever let down.
but anyway, I was just talking about being optimistic as in just looking forward to the album and hoping for the best and not having the attitude that this album is going to suck when we haven't even heard anything about how it's going to sound.

[dartsofpleasure]

Woooo! This is so unexpected, I'm really excited!

if she said something like "Xmas gift for the fans"... the remix album fits pretty well.

Indeed! She did not write it in a specific way, so that we could say "OK, it is gonna be an original mix studio album" or something like that. But I would be very fine with it being ayu trance 4, too.

I think she is also working on new lyrics, so it if was just a remix album, she didn't really need to write lyrics right?? and I somehow think the remix album might take a bit longer, not sure why, just a feeling lol

[truehappiness]

She's been recording new tracks for the last month or two~~~

Plus she's been mentioning a new album for a while now.

[Raleigh]

A Christmas album is always awesome Yayyyyyyyyyy...hoppe we get a Christmas themed album.

[Mintkisses]

I'm not sure whether this is too soon or not.. I just hope we get new good songs. And hope that she won't write 5,000,000 new ballads and 1 pop song for the new album.

[Dokiyo]

this is a true "OMG" moment...- What a christmas this will be...
