'again' Mini Album out December 8, 2012

[truehappiness]

Well, it'd be something other than a mini since they're being very 'general' about the "5 releases". These first two just so happen to be mini albums.

[jyujiw]

YEY

The hypotesis of five minis gains strength! \o/

It will be interesting how they will put the things together... hm...
I just expect to have money xD

And I really think that will be just one box containing all the minis, not a best album.
If so, A BEST 3 won't have any of this recent releases imo.

I hope 01/08 02/08 03/08 avex could find a day to release a SINGLE = =

I just think If there will be sth diffrent, they would realese it after LOVE, and then mini again. But as I said, I really really want all the new material realeses, so maybe I'm expecting too much. Maybe they want December realese to be new material because they have a chance to realese... winter ballad. yeeeeeey *sarcasm*

I don't really think it would be called A BEST 3 - it would be called sth like "15th Anniversary Box set" or "15th Anniversary Collection Album" or whatever.

I gave up on singles already, but we can still dream

[polka-dot-jewel]

very interesting title. lol I'm excited to see what kind of songs will be on this mini-album. (And I know this discussion is pressing, but I hope there's just new songs, and not new songs+remixes+instrumentals.)

^ anybody can tell me why people wants a single so much? It's not an irony, I just DON'T see a diffrence.

[TITANIC]

Sorry, I think I didn't made myself clear.

I was trying to say that maybe on March 8th there will be the release of the last mini plus the special box containing all the 5 ones released plus A BEST 3.
But looking now, I think this would be a lot of things for just one day

But I'm pretty sure that we will have 15 new songs after this campaign.

Btw, Song 4 u sounds much more amazing now than the xillia version,

[truehappiness]

I don't think we'll get a single from Ayu ever again [haha] to be honest.

[owlflight]

Like the title. Waiting for track list, covers and preorder links now...

she could do so, along with some new tracks from these realeses. That would be amazing. Imagine she is making the covers with "two Ayu's" again, omg.

[Akutenshi]

I really do not understand why people care about singles that much? You're pretty much getting a glorified single with "LOVE" lol.

Add to this the fact that she stopped after her 50th and called it "her last fortress" makes it all very ominous. Releasing these mini albums is all good and well, but after these 5 months there's no security that she'll release something again, whereas at least if she were to release a single now we'll know she had no intention to stop at 50 and that there'll be more singles to come, theoretically.

Ok, it does make sense, thank you It doesn't make a diffrence for me, but still, but there is always a chance she could stop even if she is realesing a regular singles tbh.

I'm so spoiled.
I hope we get three more mini-albums, A BALLADS 2 then A BEST 3.

edit: please.. Give us progress (Orchestral mix) on 'again' !

I will just die. These covers are pure perfection.

[Sunrise]

I wonder how many tracks this one will have, maybe 3 again? 4? I'm excited!

[Akutenshi]

On topic, I'm very excited that this is another mini album. Gives more weight to the "5 minis" theory, which I think is a very clever idea.

[LEOyumi]

Very excited! I hope that not all releases are minis, but I like the idea of another one. I hope there's a xmas song in there, or at least a xmas arrangement instead of a remix. XD

[truehappiness]

Perfect time to put out a winter ballad, imo.
