I believe there's a Melody making since there's this:

、video clipとmaking clipそれぞれ7本ずつ計14本収録

Apparently whoever posted it on the Facebook for the Chinese fan page forgot to put it in.

untitled for her...story 2?

you better sung this for your poor marketing team gurl.

That's pretty disrespectful towards the person who the song is dedicated to.

Calmed down. Not angry but still disappointed.

What bothers me most is how this makes the '5 release in 5 months' pretty redundant.
4th release includes 1st and 2nd release...

I wish they hadn't bothered with this stupid idea. Its just a normal release cycle.
2 singles and then an album that includes the 2 singles, plus a remix album.

Sigh.

I hope it will EPIC like HANABI~episode II~ then.
anyway I can't get mad at her, hope the 5th release will be good
and everyone will happy about it.

Its just a normal release cycle.

What would have made this a 'not normal release' cycle? I don't really understand the way people think.

the fact that they called them mini's
they should named them as singles in 1st place.

That doesn't really have anything to do with the release cycle?

But anyway, I don't think she's releasing singles anymore.

You could not have predicted that the mini albums LOVE and again would be on the 'new' album Love again...

now they are officially singles, but to label them anything but, before hand is a little pig headed.

Has anyone hit you to hard on the head? You may be as disappointed as you like about this release, I don't care, but to respond to channy's post with "Go suck an elf" is in every way disrespectful! I think you should apologize!

yeah I know that's it's sound bad, I'm so sorry about it, but what I mean is she really need get a new team, she deserve something like Namie and Koda get, not like this she's not just a singer in AVEX that they just don't care about her, not just release stuff and let it go. She's AYUMI HAMASAKI. GOSH
Avex is destroying Ayu, and she's let they doing it. I'm so sad.

YES! PLEASE!

[truehappiness]

I would not blame avex in this instance since Ayu probably has some say in how things are done (I mean come on, it's Ayu...).

This is just one set of releases in her career. It's not going to affect things that much in the long run imo.

I don't get this. The designers behind a lot of avex and J-pop do sh-y work. TBH; I could do better when i was 12 and played with Photoshop 5. Seriously. My teacher would go ape sh- if he saw the text placement and effect.

Ayu, Namie, Gackt, Koda(she's a 50/50)...

They need to look at KPOP. That stuff is flawless.

[x-megumi-x]

LOL at the tracklist and the title. LOVE again, seriously? lmao

I just cancelled my order, there's no way I'm buying this ****. Really disappointed by this whole anniversary project... What a joke.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

It's a marketing ploy to get more sales, the fact that they're including the old songs, and supposedly ayu doesn't care about sales, so what gives?

I don't know to be honest. I just feel like for the 15th Anniversary, with this 5 releases in 5 months, it wouldn't be single + single + album, thats what we get normally.

[krtman2002]

Ayumi Hamasaki's new album: ~TROLL is ALL~

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I think it should have been single --> remix album --> single --> remix album --> new album

11.Wake me up / snowy kiss (making clip #1)
12.Wake me up / snowy kiss (making clip #2)

couldn't they just separate them.

I see no point in the "mini" albums now.
the pictures are to die for but it doesn't fit an album cover.

GACKT at least has some decent covers as in photography artwork, with some thought in there. tho fonts do suck most of the time.

It seems like the people who work with Avex are just sons/daughters/relatives of the company heads with no actual diplomas or updating on their "skills". They take a photo crop it and slap the first font they see plus add some "cool" effect to make things worse, and they freaking get money for that...

Well, many angry people here, but I understand why xD. I wonder how TA feel about this....

Personally I saw this coming, even the You & Me inclusion, so I´m not angry but disappointed, however this kind of thing is so Ayu xD
