Fall single/Winter single

[Foxxy_Fuyumi]

^^
that will be a good strategy for sure! LOL

i'd actually mcu hprefer a mini-album than a studio..
probably 'cos i feel bad when i see Memorial Address on it's own in the mini-album criteria!
but chyeah CAROLS / HEAVEN'ish song..
with sad lyrics with a fun or happy lyriced second a-side or b-side. (that will be on the mini-album.)

[Keishi]

Oh no. Not a ballad.

It's really like...umm...taking advantages out of her breakup. Just like Utada's FOL.

[Diana]

I love her winter ballads. CAROLS <3 And I also think we`ll get a mini album this year also For Secret there were 2 singles? Startin`/ Born To Be.. and BLUE BIRD/Beautiful Fighters. And 3 more PVs on the album.. Mini album at the end of the year or a normal album later in spring (which I doubt)
EDIT: BUT! When I think about it.. Better good quality mini album than bad quality album For now. Go mini album! As Austin says.. I also feel bad for Memorial address

[freedreamer]

haiz..i wan a ballad...a one new style...just not too similar...GIMME A BRIDGE!

[AmyRoseM]

It'd be cool if she released a 10 song album, for the ten years of her career, and try and capture the sound/style she used each year in the new songs. Crea would compose all of them, and they'd all be INCREDIBLE.

haha. ok, im done dreaming now.


ps: i realize Glitter/Fated would have to eventually be put on an album... :p

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

not really, she could make one by this year, and finish one by next year

[Ani_C]

With the break up, Ayu will prolly have more time on her hands (maybe) so I see no reason for a mini, but then again, that'll mean more time for better songs. I hope that's the case if there is a mini xD.

I don't agree on that point, since Ayu rushed production on most of Secret's songs when she decided it would be a studio album to make sure it would still be released on 11/29/06. Although that was more of a special case because of the circumstances, I wouldn't be suprised if avex has targets for her to meet for her upcoming singles & album.

I'd really like to see a single in October, then January, and an album in March/April. Just to switch things up a bit, I'm SO bored of her release rountine and the annual winter album. I don't get why people think she's gonna release a mini-album, next year is her 10th anniversary, I'd think she would scale up, not down.

[Impracticable]

She released a mini album for her 5 year aniversary ...

And plus i actually want a mini album. As everyone said: It gives her more time to make better songs. With more time means higher chances of CREA, no?

[xiaou-xijiang]

I'd liek to get a new single; I was really disappointed last year with the album release instead of a third single...
But this year is weird too. Instead of a single we got a Best album and now a summer single...I wonder if we will get another single. Demure_dusk is right, Avex will probably exploit the situation as much as they could.

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

yeah i think so too.
i'm thinking a sad, sad, ballad.

[Raiu-Ayu]

I'm thinking rock ballad for the new single. Not the 'rock ballad' type they said that fated would be but like HANABI ~episode II~ or A Song for XX from A BALLADS.

I don't know if we'll get an album at all this year. I'm guessing that avex might hold off and make a studio album for her 10th anniversary in April next year. But I hope we do get atleast a mini-album like Memorial address, which was some of ayu's best work (No way to say, forgiveness, Memorial address...)

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

i adore forgiveness! I'd like a ballad like that.

[Chibi_Venus]

WAIT!

Five years = Mini-album (Memorial address), right? Well, ten years equals...

MEGA ALBUM! xD

I kid, I kid. I think A BEST 2 already covered that. Anyway, I think maybe I'd like a ballad similar to CAROLS, too, like Foxxy said.

*does the Italian thing of kissing you on each cheek* Tu magnifico ragazza! (You beautiful girl!) That's a GENIUS IDEA!

[somethinglost]

I hope a second single will be released in Oct/November, however I'm not so sure. ayu seems to be releasing... slowly these days. I'm pretty sure there will be no album this year, I don't think avex want to repeat the Secret sales so they'll probably wait to make it more "special".

[Lee_Hamasaki]

something Jewel/Momentum/heaven i hope
