I don't see why as she didn't really lied about anything regarding this album... She never said the minis wouldn't be part of an album later.

An empress who writes her songs and puts sp much effort into her work. Some fans are just terribly cruel with her. Its VERY easy to be an ayu fan when she sold millions and millions of copies, but it looks like some of you dont stay by her side in the tough times right? YES, this whole album is a bit rushed and the management didnt make a good work, but how can you say the things some of you guys say about Ayu? Dont you really have respect for her? She has overcome a terrible illness (she is HALF DEAF ladies and gentlemen, so how can you even laugh at her voice? How can you guys laugh at someone who tries and tries because MUSIC IS HER PASSION? She has many and many millions, she could retire and live like a Queen. But she is still here)
Obviously these are not good years to be an ayu fan, she is loosing her fans and her popularity, and it is pretty obvious both her and her management are trying to make her popular. Of course this whole 5 consecutive releases thing has been a HUGE mess, but nobody really complains about the MUSIC. Isnt that what we really love?? She has delivered amazing music in both LOVE and again, and im pretty sure she will on the album. YES, the managment has designed the 5 months project to earn money and try Ayu to be #1 . But i still support ayu, because when I close my eyes, forget all the drama and listen to her songs, I know that the Ayu I love is still there.

To me, they haven't really been pushing to make her 'popular' but rather, she's releasing music because fans want it. I mean, why else is there new music but literally nothing targeting people who don't already listen to her normally?

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

sigh can I get some old school style PVs like Dearest, Real me, INSPIRE, etc.

[adantatu2]

If you don't like it, don't buy this, but at least wait for the new songs, her music this time is awesome.

And please, don't write mean tweets or she could cancel her account like Max.

[truehappiness]

Eh, I doubt she'd leave Twitter because of this.

However, Max's situation was probably worse since he had thousands of angry Korean pop fans flaming him.

Ayu is putting effort in her work. hahahahahaahhahaah. You know what's cruel all does people who have a part time job and took the little money they had from there pay check to buy those mini albums to support Ayu. and now they get this kind of treatment. That's whats cruel to me.

THIS. Seriously, I can totally understand the disappointment everyone is feeling, but some people (repeating: SOME people, not all of course) are just being childish.


Ayu is a singer, and as a singer what I expect from her is good music, and in these past months she has brought amazing songs (at least for me they are), if the album has more great songs, then that's all I need to keep supporting her.

So what your saying is that just because i'm an ayu fan i can't complain? girl please. Plus you don't know me I've been an ayu fan since she started and as i recall she wasn't popular at the beginning. Yeah your right avex and ayu are doing their best to make her popular again. That includes ayu dating guys on her music videos and making a bunch of scandals in japan. I love ayu but i'm not gonna pretend like she's god and that i love everything she does. when certain things are clearly wrong. So a fan has to be oblivious? i don't believe that.

[Delicious n Bold]

Dang, I come back and there are meltdowns

The covers look nice
The tracklist is just crap
The Ayu fandom will be the laughing stock of all other fandoms for a while now.
I won't cancel my preorder, ayu's gonna need every cd she can get now.

[truehappiness]

Ayu is putting effort in her work. hahahahahaahhahaah. You know what's cruel all does people who have a part time job and took the little money they had from there pay check to buy those mini albums to support Ayu. and now they get this kind of treatment. That's whats cruel to me.

What people do with their money is their business and if they want to buy Ayu releases, then why can't they? I'm sure people knew a lot of money was going to be involved with these releases since they were going to be released consecutively for five months.

[cosmicfirefly]

OMG, like two days ago I made a playlist and called it LOVE again and put all the songs from the mini albums AND You & Me on it XD I was planning on buying the minis but I'm glad I didn't. There is still time until the release, it would be nice if she added more new songs, but as it is now I don't mind it so much. The covers are amazing though! Although I hope her next release is more colorful

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I guess this was a pretty obvious move. Doesn't make it any less frustrating and upsetting.

You seriously think it's easy to release that much songs she is releasing this past months? You might not like the way she's promoting it, but you can't say she's not putting effort in it. And she keeps releasing songs despite the fact that a lot of her so called fans really do not deserve it by the way they treat her (and this is not just for this past releases, people bash her really bad for basically whatever she does).

Of course people can complain, but most are just disrespectful.

and this.

[mizuki-7]

Neither more nor less like GUILTY ! The drama with these mini album is exaggerated it's like if we bought all the single of Love songs era ...

MOON/BLOSSOM+Crossroad+L= 6 songs for 5660 Yens (CD+DVD)
LOVE + AGAIN = 7 songs for 4830 Yens (CD+DVD)


So stop this drama ...

[AyusakiFan]

While I can understand the frustration and disappointment with this release (particularly from those who were hoping for all new songs and those who bought "A Summer Best", "Love", and/or "again"), I think some people have taken it a bit too far with the personal attacks on her personal life and calling her a flop after having such a long and successful career overall (maybe some of her releases have been a flop due to sales numbers and charting but I don't think she's a flop artist overall if you take her whole career into consideration). As a real fan, you may not agree with everything she does but you should still want to have some respect for her as a person. At the end of the day, you have a choice to either buy the album or not buy the album and even complain about it (not that it's going to change anything but you being able to get rid of some steam). But to bash her like a piece of trash over a CD tracklist is very quite disappointing to see.
