14th album out February 8th, 4th of five 15th anniversary releases

[Delicious n Bold]

Ayu has yet to disappoint me, too.
I'm not fond of PVs or remix albums, so I have no reason to be disappointed

[TeamAyu2004]

^ some remixes I dont like, but thats not ayumi, thats the mixer...
and Im not fond of her PV's as well... so that never disappointed either, lol...

And I have been disappointed in some music at first (Guilty), but NEVER in her... and this will do... if she puts LOVE and again on there... I. WILL. BE. DESTROYED.
lol =)

I contemplated going to sleep and then ordering it later that morning when I woke up, but then I remembered how quickly her limited editions sold out. So as soon as I saw they were up, I ordered the CD+Bluray+GOODS edition as fast as I could, lol.

I'm in GMT and the email didn't come through from CDJ until after 1am so I pre-ordered it as soon as I woke-up.

LOVE was kinda embarrassing for an artist of her caliber.

I love Party Queen, but once is enough!

I'm afraid that they're gonna put the tracks from mini's into this album

[ExodusUK]

I was suspicious tbh when they announced the number of tracks this early, usually it's "TBD" but it seems like they have a pretty good idea or plan already.

I can't wait for a tracklist

I imagine a lot of people will feel happier about this release after seeing a tracklist. Well, or ticked off if it doesn't go in their favour. I suppose those who have already bought LOVE and again are going to feel the most strongly about it.

[Inukun13]

Something like this maybe?

01. Intro
02. New song
03. New song
04. interlude
05. song 4 u
06. wake me up
07. missing
08. snowy kiss
09. interlude
09. New song
10. New song
11. melody
12. sweet scar
13. new song
14. Ivy

[perfectodub]

I'm really hoping for at least one or two new epic videos...after sooo many audio-visual crap

[pepper]

it can be WHOLE timmy album if there's no mini album included tbh. And It can have 5 interludes if there's no mini.

but it suppoused to be anniversary special realese... if there's mini albums, it would be no special at all, why is it special when it's same all over again?

and ayu said "tons of new music" so whole new album would make sense.
I hope for a whole new tracklist or maaaybe 2-3max songs from mini...

[truehappiness]

It'd probably be more likely to be mostly Komuro/Yuta than Timmy. He really didn't compose -that- many songs on Party Queen. And of Ayu's recent output, Tetsuya had an entire album, You & Me, and two tracks on again.

[TeamAyu2004]

I wouldnt mind more TK either...
Timmy, TK... i was really happy with everything off of LOVE and again, (but melody), so bring all those guys back please!

[pepper]

ta-su-ku!

[ExodusUK]

People shouldn't blame Timmy too much for those two offensive tracks on Party Queen. Ayu probably told him to make songs like that as she had a boner for musical theatre and all that kinda stuff after seeing some shows in the West End.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ she did request those songs, but sine he made them.
its his fault. lol

I guess the wait for tracklist will last forever.

I'm not hoping for covers till mid/late january, but they could at least give us tracklist somewhere soon...

and for teh Timmah, I like Eyes Smoke Magic, (the next LOVE is ok for me, nothing special, but nothing bad) maybe because there were two "musical" songs people felt beaten by "new sound". I think one "experimental" track per album is enough. Sexy little thing did it very well on RnRC, is still my fav from this album.

I think people dislike album when it gets too cohesive (NEXT LEVEL flame) and that's why I don't listen to Love songs (beside Love song) very often because I feel beaten by its aura. I prefer cold cohesive aura from RAINBOW, than a "Love themed" warm sounds. MY STORY got that aura too, but I can't be beaten by it, it was my first Ayu album downloaded in full when it leaked.(besides Memorial address which I had singles and then just downloaded the rest xD) And it got rock tracks, which Love songs mostly don't have,
