New album 2012 ~Thread IV~

[BlackSilence]

"Delusion".....that's all that comes to my head....too much speculation on the album, too much speculation on her marriage & divorce and too much missinformation in her own head..... would crown nicelly last year & the beginning of this year....

[TeamAyu2004]

I like the idea of her last album be self titled! lol..

Or maybe... Never Over, or This is only the Beginning...
Grand Finale!

i had a dream that the album was announced with a February 28th release date, titled "THROUGH THE FLAMES" ...when I woke up, I was sad that it was only a dream ~

I'd be happy to wake up from such a dream. Really 'THROUGH THE FLAMES'? lol

[Paparazzi]

^ it had a really good cover in my dream

Maybe the album hasn't been completed yet, more songs could be added at the last minute and therefore the album couldn't be release on time to be promoted during this year's concert tour. Or ayu could be planning to intend this album in the midst of the tour and maybe she will have an upgraded version of the tour to promote the new album in October.

I am pretty sure the release will be for april 4th or around. But I feel afraid to get too much instrumental tracks as heard in the last Countdown Live ! too many new songs so they're going to furfill the CD with useless background songs (I bet for 6 instrumentals ! and progress inside....)

[toniayu]

^I also think the release date will be around 4th april.But i don't think we are going to have too many instrumental and progress neither

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

...why would progress be on it.

I like this!!! Magic sounds like it could be really fun, yet have some serious ballads on it at the same time!

Delusion. That's why.

"...why would progress be on it."
Because it was the only Ayu release of the year (even if it is on a mini album) and it became a "gold single" (famous with downloads so pretty sure it will be there, in original or new version...) unfortunetly....

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^I think you're mistaken. Did she put Mirrorcle World on the following album...? Did anything from Memorial address get put on the following album...?

[TeamAyu2004]

^ that's true...
But wasn't Mirroricle World put on the All singles or something like that...?
But I think i see the point, lol... so tired...
(it wasn't on the next album, right! lol)

the problem is that your titles (like in your fakes fanarts) are actually creative and artsy - ayu doesn't do that, we know that already, so she won't do that in early future (or maybe Timmy force her to do that) Her titles are actually quite obvious or TOO creative, something like Mirrorcle World or STEP you. If I am thinking of something quite good from album titles I would say (miss)understood and NEXT LEVEL and maybe Memorial address are quite unexpected from her. Rock'n'Roll Circus was also unexpected but for me, very cheesy. But I like conceptual titles like MY STORY or Love songs (even if this like the most boring title ever, i like em) (miss)understood also fit the concept as the whole package.

Even though, I still hope, that one day she will name single/album/song with something out of the box. Something like alterna. One of the best titles ever she made.

Maybe she will name her album HOPE -.-? xD

I still think about my dream when she named the album as "A" (like the single).

[Deep snow]

LOVEppears II would be interesting.

[pepper]

^ I don't think she will ever name album with "episode II" scheme. Maybe a song, but not an album. But I do like the idea, lol

[Deep snow]

^ We got A BEST 2, but then again, of course, it's a best-of album

No please! I always thought of that title to be an awkward fusion of 2 words. It seems like a typo to me.
I hope that the title is in full capslock like NEXT LEVEL and RAINBOW.
