New album in 2012 ~II~

[Key ~eternal tie~]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean for my opinion to cause arguments. When I said simple, I didn't mean simple to create. I don't know anything about production etc but I just meant that the story was very pure (if that makes sense)

I was hoping there were covers revealed here already. Oh well, at least she mentioned she's recorded 12 songs already. I wonder if she's going to record more in Japan then (a 17 track album like MY STORY would be delicious, don't you think? x)) but anyhoo. I'm really curious about this album since FIVE was good after all. I wonder if she's going to do more R&B too. Her voice was so sweet in ANother song imo. <3

And BALLAD PV was awesome. I remember I cried when I watched it. I also cried when I watched RnRC Tour performance. <3

God, everyone is so on edge lately here at AHS. The drama is ridiculous. Lol.

Christmas is stressful! We need more Christmas spirit!

She said on weibo, "see you very soon"... Everyone is thinking she'll be back to London/Europe after CDL... so, not having a release date/announcement yet, it could be perfecty possible that she still will record some PV's in Japan, or come back to Europe to do so... ^^

But 12 new songs... loooooks promising *O*!

[Kazeyomi]

12 new songs, that's great!
If considering that we haven't any singles for this album, they're all basically brand new songs that's kinda exciting though.

xD I'm trying to ignore the posts about Mannie and religion as I have no interest in either one of those...

you people. SMDH.

See you soon. It means like, see ya later! I'll be back at some unforeseen time in the future, I'm sure! Jesus lol get it together

And I had a dream last night...album was called something like "push and pull" and it was set for release between mid january and mid february.

[emi♡]

people DO seem edgy lol But it could be sooo much worse. At least there arent flame wars all over the place.


Excited for 12 new tracks~~ But of course right...I keep forgetting we have no singles. I was gonna ask what single songs were bound to be there...but I suppose there aren't any lol

Definitely would be happy with, I think it was Zeke's, proposition of 12 new tracks and 3 interludes. Maybe there will be 16 tracks and 4 interludes? lol I like her interludes.

Like my name's WOMEN in the STEP you single. I would be fine with that - the sooner we get this album, the better.

oh yes! interlides..sorry kinda forgot they exist in Ayu's albums. ok then it should flow nicely now.
and yes, the sooner the betterrr

You're right, people can delude themselves however they want xD

[adantatu2]

With the news about Koda Kumi new album, the expectations of many fans are higher

Just wanted to say that your English is great! So, don't worry about it.

Was that needed?

Zeke is right, people are really on edge lately. Some people need to take a Christmas holiday.

Ballad's Pv was great for me; I know the story isnt original but I thought the execution was great. I hated Five's PVs (only the post-lockerroom Brilliante was good). They felt really cheap and rushed to me. I am hoping for a COHESIVE storyline for us lowly people for the Pvs this time around (looking at the Love song trilogy of shame).

But even if the Pvs mostly suck, if the album is good that is more than enough for me. I love Love songs and I cant stand watching most of its PVs. I will forget about them eventually (hopefully).

[Tony G]

I'm thinking 12 songs is what will make up the album. Add the interludes and its about as long as any recent Ayu album. Gotta think of it as 12 NEW songs which is pretty standard for album releases now. Even in Japan where they seem to get shorter and shorter.

Wonder if she'll make more than 3 PVs. Without the single videos its going to be her shortest album DVD!

If we're lucky, maybe another song or PV shoot in Japan. But I guess the main focus now is her countdown shows.

I have this feeling, looking at those PV pictures, this album is going to be rock and dance-orientated. A departure from her nostalgic 'Love songs' album sound.

Seems like we'll get an album announcement veeery soon with this news.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I'd love 1 intro + 12 songs + 2-3 interludes = 15-16 tracks
I'd be satisfied with 3-4 PVs

sounds perfect!

wonder if she'll sandwich a song between two interludes again
