Mirror - Either a full song or something like Not yet
(don't) Leave me alone - The title screams "emo ballad!" to me but I guess it might be a rock song.
GUILTY - This one could be a ballad maybe, to take a break (and introduce) the ballads to come. Oh wait, I change my mind. GUILTY's gonna be a mix of rock and ballad.
Marionette -prelude- - Needless to say, a prelude to Marionette.
Marionette - A part of me says it'll be like alterna, a funky rock song in disguise as a rant towards Avex. HOWEVER, another part of me tells me that Ayu's gonna toy with the concept of Marionette, and perhaps use it as a theme among fated, Together When... and Marionette.
The Judgment Day - Btw, Judgment is the US spelling and judgement is the UK spelling. Anyway, TJD could very well be an interlude or maybe another rock song to end all the emoness in the album.
MY ALL - To continue on from glitter, I'm guess MY ALL will be another cute song. Something like HONEY.
reBiRTH - Maybe this will be next Startin' or winding road. An upbeat inspirational song for us emo teens.
untitled ~for her~ - This could be really mellow like Secret, or perhaps she would end GUILTY on a rock note, or anything basically. I'm not sure only on this one.

In any case, I'm soooo hyped up for this album! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

I like this. It's detailed to why you think what is expected from each track.

However, knowing Ayumi, she's gonna pull fast ones on us. I would say that the ones to look out for are ALL her album tracks, as stuff like "In the Corner" and "until that Day..." threw me off.

If anything, my predictions are...

Mirror- This seems like an evolution between "Catcher in the Light" and "Not yet". I have a feeling that it'll be harmonious, and sum up the whole album in this one track.

(don't) Leave me alone - the use of parentheses makes the title more interesting -especially over (miss)understood- as it really has meaning with or without the "don't". If she's aiming with it, then it seems like it'll be as strong as "is this LOVE?", a power ballad. Without it, may be something even stronger.

GUILTY - Besides "Marionette", the most interesting sounding song. Guilt could be taken in many ways, but the most common is sorrow. Will she aim for sorrow, or pull something out of her cheetah dress and take a whole new spin on it? I don't want to say aynthing on this track, as it seems like a very ambiguous titile.

Marionette -prelude- - It seems like a WONDERLAND to me. Although it makes me consider that this'll be an instrumental that can be played by itself with its own meaning, yet still add to Marionette when played with it.

Marionette - noun. A jointed puppet manipulated from above by strings or wires attached to its limbs. Yes, it does exhume "alterna". However, this brings into consideration what I said for the prelude. WONDERLAND like theme? May be composed by CREA as a WONDERLAND part II kind of feel?

The Judgement Day - Unless extremely necessary, I do not see this as an instrumental. Of course, this seems really rock-esque, but how the lyrics will reflect it will make this song interesting.

MY ALL - Following "glitter", it's really something I expect to be like "Beautiful Day". The exception is that I think the lyrics will be somewhat sad like "glitter", and the music would reflect "fairyland"s PV (Start out really happy, then turn out sad and dark).

reBiRTH - Interesting title, that's for sure. What to expect, I don't know. I would say may be a "walking proud" or "RAINBOW" like song. But this one is another ambiguous title...

untitled ~for her~ - As people mentioned, it seems either like "Secret" or "Memorial address". I think that this song will be something even more powerful than "Memorial address", but have a softer feel than "Secret". Hopefully, she has it sung like "Together when..", where her voice really reflected the sorrow.

Overall, this seems like a "reBiRTH" in her own sense, and a fresh start to her third chapter. This album will most likely have that overall themed feel like "I am...", which makes me very excited. I would say potential for an easy 750K.

Ayu said herself that after A BEST 2 is her third chapter. So it's assumed by that comment...

A Song for XX - Duty = First chapter.
I am... - (miss)understood = Second chapter. (Assuming Secret is a prelude to her third, as it wasn't included on A BEST 2)
(Secret)/GUILTY= Third chapter.

I guess she likes to refer to her career as a story, so this is considered according to her as her third chapter.

Rurutia · #**225** 10th December 2007, 05:34 AM

i seriously hope the judgement day will be hard core rock song....it sounds so dramatic....reminds me of resident evil ^_^

TITANIC · #**226** 10th December 2007, 07:13 AM

i hope the sales can surpass (miss)understood..hoho..
900K please

freedreamer · #**227** 10th December 2007, 07:20 AM

^haha...how many more people are preordered it thru CDJapan this year??
+1 from me

darkswordz · #**228** 10th December 2007, 07:52 AM

^Well, i brought both copies this time

but considering the falling sales, i think it might sell around 500k in total and get a 10th placing on the yearly chart (well, if you consider all the sales of Secret on the 2007 chart, it would get a 9th placing. From MY STORY till Secret, well she drop a position every year)

freedreamer · #**229** 10th December 2007, 08:11 AM

^lol..tats a gd observation...but No i want her to maintain it this time...plzzz...buy this album from cdjapan people...help ayu!!

and i think i noe why Avex hasnt released the ASIA tour DVD...in case her sales next year aint very gd...that can help...im not cursing her duh..

bluegie · #**230** 10th December 2007, 08:21 AM

Well actually I'm going to cancel my order, cuz... my brother's friend is going back to Japan for x'mas!!! Yeah!

freedreamer · #**231** 10th December 2007, 08:24 AM

It's quite possible, actually.

BoBo · #**233** 10th December 2007, 09:12 AM

10x a lot

i realy like the photobook cover

waterballoon · #**234** 10th December 2007, 07:19 PM

By the way, I was just thinking into space today and I thought that it'd be SO cool if untitled ~for her~ would be a song dedicated to Tomoya's future girlfriends, perhaps the lyrics could reflect how nice Tomoya is, and how she's actually lucky to be his love or something. With the whole theme revolving around the blessings for them. But then the song would sound very mellow and sorrowful like Secret. Haha.

As with many others, I do hope Marionette -prelude- would be the only instrumental track on GUILTY. It just seems befitting of Mirror and The Judgment Day to be mere intros/instrumentals!

I've never been that hyped up about a new Ayu album (but then again I only started listening to her since her Secret album...)

Don't disappoint us, Ayu!

P.S.: I really want at least one of the songs inside to sound like Connected/until that Day... (futuristic/trance) Although GUILTY appears to be a predominantly rock/ballad album... I yearn for more songs like HONEY (I'm counting on you, MY ALL and reBiRTH).

Exactually

A Song for XX~A BEST - 1st Chapter
I am...~A BEST 2 (Exclude Secret) - 2nd Chapter
Secret - Introduction to the 3rd Chapter
GUILTY~? - 3rd chapter.

I think her falling sales are more indicative of the problems within the record industry as a whole rather than lack of interest in her music. She's been doing pretty well on the digital charts (with "Together When..." hitting #1 and her old PV's being so popular), and the sales slump has affected artists across the board, not just Ayu. She's been in the business a long time, but I don't think she's lost too much of her luster yet!

Still, I'm hoping for some better numbers this time around. She's done a great job with promotion!

If Secret is the introduction to the 3rd chapter, I wonder how long, or if we'll ever find out why. A while ago I was thinking about if there's a reason why Ayu's second chapter starts with I am... and end with (miss)understood. "I am... (miss)understood". Did she feel she was understood or misunderstood in her 2nd chapter? Or maybe it means nothing at all. Ayu's so mysterious, I love it.

Well I'm glad it's finally confirmed!
