As usual, I'm excited for a new Ayu album The only thing I'm disappointed in is that the photobook won't be included in the CD+DVD (or even CD-only) version. I hope she changes her mind! Haha.

I think because of the size of the photobook, they can't include it. Maybe it's the calendar...

[Mirai Noah]

I like the title. Nice and simple

And cool! She's producing a single for Naoya! Looking forward it too

[Zeke.]

I literally said "Oh my God." when I read about the special edition with photobook. Way to milk the CA$H. But hopefully I will get it for Christmas this year!

I will not judge the album based on the title, although I too would have like a little something more... Ayu?

It's really cool that she produced a song for another artist, but I really hope she produced something for herself as well!!

And the countdown begins...

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

So she's "producing" the single...which means what exactly? I guess she's not composing so there will be no CREA...

[Zeke.]

^ Oh oops I took it as producing = composing. As in she wrote the material and also arranged it. But I guess it might be more of a "vision" she had for the image/style of a song and really executed the whole thing.

They could include it, they'd just have to package it in a bigger box / envelope, that's all. Haha.

It is 12 pages... and it's big... It very well could be the calendar! =O

[Zeke.]

^ Japanese calendars generally are only 6 pages though. Each page represents two months.

This is awesome news!

[AYUCREA]

i don't like the title but still looking forward to new songs

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I really hope there is only 1 intro and 1 interlude. sighhh.

(Is CDJ still doing that free shipping thing with paypal?? hmm...)

[lividlillies]

AAA?!　And Ayu?! Aaaaaaaaah~~~! I'm so happy!!! I know it's just one singer from AAA, but that's enough for me! Will she be singing in it, as well?

Man, this is the first time I've considered buying one of her crazy-bundle albums (the SD + USB + DVD). Maybe because it's Christmas...? XD;; I'm also super pumped for the Last Angel PV. That was the best song on that single!

I didn't say it was lame at all. o_o; I love the title personally.. It just reminds me of the album ETERNITY ~Love and songs~ that Koda Kumi just released! But I am thankful that Last angel is getting a PV... But I hope it won't be as disappointing as Sparkle's was.

She's paying to have it made as is my understanding of the term, then she gets revenue based on how well the single sells.

yeah, I'm pretty sure this is how production works in Japan. She'll also be the one who oversees everything, and gives the final "okay" on it.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

This is soooo exciting!! It says 8 new songs, so assuming there are 3 interludes, that's 5 new songs.... <3 <3 <3 So excited for that single too! "Love songs" isn't exactly inspiring or anything, but it really matches the material we have so far and A SLIP CASE!? <3<3<3

[ayulove_18]

the title is a little blah to me, i'm secreting hoping for a name change. It just seem so rush and unoriginal. I hope she will tell us why she picked it. None the less i'm really looking forward to it, like anything she releases. That single is something i have always hope she would someday do. Can't wait for it

[!Lawi!]

I read somewhere blossom is to have a new PV on Love Songs,is that true ??? Ifso, don't you think it could be the first part of MOON PV? That would be awesome !

Aah, I forgot about that... Maybe she'll be doing it Western-like? idk A 12-page photobook seems so small...

It does say "URATA NAOYA feat. ayumi hamasaki" so I'm assuming she'll be singing in it!

That's not what it says...it's 8 PVs ... one for Last Angel and two new album PVs.

If there is 15 new tracks, and we have 6 already, that's nine new tracks.
(YAY FOR NO SEVEN DAYS WAR! Unless they include it as a bonus track...please no!)

It's 8,800yen tax INCLUDED on the limited box set, so I guess it's comforting to know that on CDJapan and HMV the Japanese tax does not count for us non-Japanese people.
