Mirrorcle World will be on the album! D:

So that's only 8 new songs. With interludes. Only 5 new tracks again? Boo.



That USB stick is GORGEOUS though.

I think this will be the first time I have to buy two versions lol.

The tracklist in the pic is the audio from PREMIUM Countdown Live 2008-2009 (CD2)

WOO HOO!!!!!!! That UBS is cute! I guess this confirms it! Kind of a weird thing, but hey, maybe it'll peak the general public's interests :O

@ Melrose: How do you know Mirrorcle World will be on there? It's only on the LIVE disc tracklist, ne?

@VAL: I know. =) That tracklist doesn't have interludes. Nor Mirrorcle World. I'm just guessing that the album will have interludes, and Mirrorcle World is going to be on it because the DVD has 6 PVs and Ayu always does 2 new PVs so that means MW has to be on it (unless Sparkle suddenly got one but I highly doubt that she'd do 3 PVs for an album).

Well, actually not really. If you count Together When... (since it was a digital single and not a physical single), she had 3 new pvs for GUILTY. Same goes for Secret, which had three new pvs: JEWEL, 1LOVE and momentum. But since Ayu doesn't really have a pattern.. there is a 50/50 chance it'll be there. I hope not since I want 3 new pvs

Hmm you're 50/50 right.

JEWEL/1 LOVE was supposed to be a single, right? So they don't completely count as album PVs, imo. And Together When was sort of released as a single.

So, I dunno. I'm hoping that you're right of course~! But with Ayu's busy schedule and MW PV's high budget, it just seems to me like this album will have 2 new album PVs. ;;

Doesn't it say something about video clips?

That's really an innovative idea to add a USB flash drive to it. But sure enough, she's going to really compete with Kuu (their albums are not studio albums, they're "best" albums) and Tohoshinki (remember the "talkin' 2 myself" single when she competed with them for #1?), two Avex in-house artists.

Hopefully she can get #1 here - but Japanese should stick on the #1 quest for "Rule/Sparkle" - because right now her #1 streak is on the line already (competing with Dreams Come True, another "good" artist), because she might be on the odds with the group with Miwa Yoshida...
For NEXT LEVEL
tohosinki has no album that sold like any of ayu's studio albums by far so they are not really a threat unless if they will surprise somehow, though it's very unlikely.
kumi's BESTs also might not be a big competition since those are 2 in one day and they might be treated like BEST ~BOUNCE & LOVERS~ which sold less also than all of ayu's studio albums. 2 in one day might even make it lower (and the both are like half best/half remix) remixes aren't really popular anymore though there is still a small chance of surprise but I doubt.

ayu also debuting that limited USB thing and it will be counted towards oricon so it really can get the sales higher.

For Rule/Sparkle - I really hope avex will start promoting it already.

I think right now Kumi is not really a big threat to Ayu...especially after the sales of Trick. The albums seem to be targeted to the hardcore fans so I don't think they'll be hot sellers.

And I am guessing avex are planning to promote the album and single at one shot. Probably end of February/March shall be used for promotion and "Rule" or "Sparkle" shall be performed.

Yep + kumi's bests are just 1 cd versions.

Well I hope they will at least start it next week that it can get #1.

Oh, I did not know that. How could Tohoshinki is kind of lower than Ayu? Does anybody have data to exactly compare how Tohoshinki fares in albums along with Ayu's?

And I think Kuu is just too much of a split, unlike Ayu's going on a four-versions-in-one-type, so I think Ayu has a bit of a better advantage...

Hopefully the single that would be released exactly four weeks to the album's release get #1 weekly - very critical...

They say there's going to be about 13 songs in the album - but using the USB flash drive to listen to Ayu's songs on your computer? That is a really cool idea by the Avex Group guys...

tohoshinki's "T" sold around 85,000 in total.
ayu's 2 latest singles outsold this album in 3-4 days.
Reminding everyone kumi and tohoshinki are from avex, if they want ayu's album to get #1 it will since they just can stock smaller amounts of kumi's and tohoshinki's albums and as it seems they want ayu's album to get #1. If not they wouldn't newly invest in it so much and release it on only avex "competitors" day.

She did 3 new PVs for Secret. 1 LOVE, JEWEL, and momentum. So there's always a chance.

There was also About you, walking proud and my name's WOMEN, but that doesn't count so much because my name's WOMEN was released later
