[Official Message] NEW MINI ALBUM『FIVE』 2011.8.31 in stores

[channy]

Like with KEIKO D:

[terra]

Maybe because she adores Keiko and now I haven't really see her adoring other female singer

[rusuke]

Wow! I was surprised when I read this! Another mini-album from Ayu!!! I'm excited about this. Can't wait for the release!

[carlos_ayu]

SUPER!!!! Thanks for the info!!!

[AyUmIXx]

Yea I also wish for ayu's collaboration with female singer. But I would love to see her with male singer too.

Oh~ poor Naoya. I think he sounds great in dream ON. I like his vocal actually.
For me he sounds different from jpop male group singers.
I think he has his own singing style.

Moreover, this is ayu's album, so I think the songs are gonna be ayu-type of songs.

[TeamAyu2004]

Wot! A mini-album, although I think of this more as a single... but whateves...!
So happy!!

LOL.

I will think about this album this way =) it's just triple A-side single

[brener]

i didnt like most of the titles... i hope they're good songs tho =)

[y_nathz]

mini album ? cool, I thought we'll get a single instead xD

like others have said before JUNO is Korean, and he's Junsu's bro. He have debuted before with a single titled Nothing to Lose under the stage name ZUNO, and I'm pretty sure the single is Chinese.. in case you're wondering how he sounds like! and well I still prefer Junsu's voice tbh

it's interesting to see her doing collabs, since she hardly ever did.
though tbh I didn't enjoy dream on that much.

great k-indie artists do exist, and I listen to some of them.
it's sad that they're not so popular though.


and I just want to say this : I wish we could stop the I hate Kpop drama, but well I doubt it would be possible in AHS.

[kumiko.koda]

I can't wait to get the mini album

[Mai82Go]

I'm really glad Ayu doesn't hold conferences with AHS members about her decisions after reading this thread.

[Midori-chan]

Mhm, I still don't know what to think about this.

There are only five songs and two of them are duets. I have nothing against duets, but...well...

But then again, I'm very fond of "progress" and "BRILLANTE" sounds like it could be a beautiful ballad! I'll try and be optimistic about the new album!
Five songs is not much (at least "Memorial address" had eight and it's still my favourite Ayu-album so far), but I'm happy that we will get a PV and a "Making of" for each song!!

BTW I really don't think the title is so important!! Ok, it would be better if she called it different but... ok, it has sense... FIVE, 5 new songs... the important thing is the music and the lyrics of the songs, and the title actually doesn't sound so bad... I mean, it's simple, but for me is not bad.

And BRILLANTE is an epic electro dark mysterious song. Like Marionette vs Sparkle.

Oh wait, is that true? O_________O Now I'm really dying... forget the summer song, I want THIS

About the collaborations, I prefer Ayu singing alone, that's true, but if the song sounds well, I don't mind. I mean, when she release Dream ON with Naoya I was thinking "ewwww random ****! I don't want collaborations!" but then I listened to it and I liked it a lot.

Do you think guys beloved is about Mannie...? *_*

I hope so

awww two months before release ~~~ first time I feel so impatient

[krtman2002]

I want an Ayu-koda callaboration! XD

Do you think that BRILLANTE will have spanish lyrics? I hope so, but not the entire song, just some verses!

I can feel this thread is gonna hit a trash can post sooner or later *gets popcorn*

He's prolly the only male singer Ayu wouldn't sound awkward singing with.

I actually think they sound really good together!!! They both have unique voices. I loved Itsuka No Merry Christmas.

[njanjayrp]

^ That's what I was saying~

[Nackar_91]

I don't really get the complaining, to be honest. Why want a 3 A-side single instead if you're getting 5 songs now? D :

Anyway, this is really interesting! Definitely looking forward to what she has on offer next. The JUNO collaboration seems slightly random, especially since she rarely collaborates, but then again we know she's friends with TVXQ on at least some level, so that's cool.

OMG THIS!!! I thought I was the only one who thought about a collaboration with Jaejoong!

Well, I'm actually really surprised she's releasing a new album so early, even though it's mini. Especially when we were expecting the new single to be released only in September! Can't wait for new songs~ And I actually like the idea of the collaborations.

And I don't understand why everyone is complaining and wants a single instead. If you don't like the collaborations, just don't listen to them, because there surely will be people, who'll like them. And you haven't even heard them, how can you be so sure you won't like them? oO For me more new songs=more new stuff=better.

Btw, there was a hidden track in MA? oO
