'again' Mini Album out December 8, 2012

[TeamAyu2004]

I think anything that wasn't found on the original album of the source as new music.

[isthisLOL?]

Instrumental versions are new music if they are not on the original album?

[TeamAyu2004]

No, the singles before the album would be with the album.. I guess i ahould of said things that are released after the album.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

they have been atrocious lol

[Bad Wolf]

HELL YEAH

eta: also it needs to be said that Dir en grey should and could totally cover "sending mail." and i'm dead serious.

a collaboration between the two of them would be my dying wish ;_;

and tbh i cba to be bothered by these mini albums. i dunno why people are questioning why she doesn't combine this or do that--it's because she's doing a cool new gimmick for another rather large anniversary. there's nothing wrong with gimmicks, and there's something really cool about this because it's a different release format for her, AND we get all the product out rather soon after each other. i vastly prefer this than waiting between singles or an album and a single.

so
yeah

excruciating time passes before release date :/

[TeamAyu2004]

have I been the only one happy with the trance and the AO's??? they are both so good...
the house was pretty good this time around and this Euro was the first 1 i could listen to all the way through.

[Ayu-roBeat 13]

I'm wondering why they didn't combine LOVE and again as a regular album to begin with.

Because she wanted to do one release every month for five months?

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

So we still don't know how many tracks in this one right??

I'm hoping for 4 AT LEAST, but I'm sure it'll be just like LOVE lol

Yes will be like LOVE... because 5 minialbums with 3 new song each, it´s a total of 15 songs... to celebrate her 15th anniversary... makes sense to me in that way-

[polka-dot-jewel]

random thought I just had... maybe these will all be re-recorded versions of older songs, hence the title "again"

lol Probably not, I don't see Ayu re-shooting videos for older songs. Then again, who knows what Ayu has up her sleeves

I too thought about this which might be cool but I'd rather have new songs as part of this promotion of 5 releases for 5 months.

[TeamAyu2004]

im hoping for 3 or 4.

and the 15 songs for 15 years is just speculation.

[TeamAyu2004]

I wouldnt mind this as remixes with some new songs...
but not all the songs.

[kaled kalil]

I like the A TRIBUTE idea too! I would die if I see Koda Kumi singing my name's WOMEN or real me, and Kana Nishino singing M or Dearest.

[isthisLOL?]

I would like a tribute/cover album. Just that I would NOT want the obvious choices. Koda Kumi could work, but would be very hit/miss and seeing how she has trouble sustaining anything over D5 she couldn't sing most of Ayumi's songs at all. Kana Nishino would probably do a good job at one of Ayumi's ballads, but I think it would probably end up sounding just like it did before. Utada might do some interesting rearrangements. Namie doesn't have the neccessary vocal range. GACKT could be incredible...or a snorefest.

What would be amazing would be people usually doing completely different genres covering Ayumi songs. A metal cover of Last Angel? A folk version of one of her ballads? Maybe a reggae evolution? Yes, I've been toying with this idea before xD

[owlflight]

I kind of like the idea of A TRIBUTE. What about Ayaka singing one of Ayu's songs? And I need tracklist and covers for this release... still buying it regardless of what is revealed.
