That's something that bugs me A LOT. This concept is so....Japanese and soo overdone. By everyone.

Someone had up an AZU cover earlier, hiromi's got some of this look...it's just...

It's disappointing for, I guess where I like to have Ayu in my list of creative musicians.

It would have been really cool if she could have come up with something really interesting...but it seems like she mostly does really interesting things when she's all...sad or on medication.

And imagine if she could have come up with something interesting for such a common idea as love. Maybe that's just, out of her range though.


At least the photos are nice. I said somewhere else...people wanted a simple, more natural ayu for a long time. Well...here it is. I wonder how long it'll last.

Obviously this release is somehow really similar to Love songs, I wonder if she'll marry maro when it's released

lol


I wonder if they'll be releasing mini-albums in the future? Seems like this stunt will make fans be wary of buying any mini-albums as soon as they are released.

[Foyuki]

everthing's no surprise
lol

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I'm gonna read the future and not buy a single thing because it'll all end up in A BEST 3 or A WINTER BEST, or in A SUMMER BEST EPISODE II.

[Polyrhythm]

The "gift" needs to be like, a kiss from Ayu...on the asses of everyone who bought all 5 of these...whatever they are. Don't know how she can possibly make up for this...which is sad cause everything on LOVE again that's been released so far is so good. Now people are just going to remember this 15th Anniversary mess for the way Ayu scammed them instead of the music.

[TeamAyu2004]

Well, i guess the good news is that since she has hit rock bottom for me there is only up.
lol

Maki was a different case though only maybe half her songs from the minis were put on the album. Also it was her first and last Avex album and was meant to encompass her entire career at Avex - like a mini best of basically.

lol

Don't be so sure, people have been saying she's at rock bottom for a while. D:

People, if you're upset don't buy the material.

Are you sure you're an ayufan or you just need an obsesion and today it's ayumi's turn? :/

I'm not going to buy anything as i'm saving up money these days. But I'll buy all these releases in the future, i just don't need to have them right now. I'd buy first JAPONESQUE.

And I was right when I said LOVE and again were labeled as mini-album to try to keep her record of #1 album every year. I'm glad she broke that record finally. Now she might focus on create music and not release things without sense only to milk people.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

tbh I hope the actual album sells less than again.

And I get to complain even though I'm not buying this because actually I've already bought more than half of the album lol

[happiholic★]

Wish there was a CD+Goods version, cause all the PVs are not to my taste.

It's simple: people wouldn't complain if they were singles because you expect them to be on another release. A mini-album you do not. When something is a single you make the conscious choice to purchase repeated material.

It's why I don't buy singles, I (thankfully) didn't buy LOVE or again, but I was planning to - because they're mini-albums! Glad I've been rather broke these past few months.

Me in your not-happening-shoes now. I guess I shall not trust the label mini album again. It used to be so simple with memorial address and five
In the mids of being broke if I were to buy the album.

I haven't bought an Ayu release in years, and this certainly isn't helping. I feel bad for people who bought the two mini-albums, but I feel like we should have seen something like this coming.

True that. I stopped buying her stuff when RnrC came. I don't know what it is, but she has lost her touch I guess. And her label is getting more and more hungry for money and I'm not gonna support that, sorry. I'm gonna download this **** and maybe consider buying it in the distant future from ebay for few bucks. It's sad.

well, guilty was rock bottom for me and then she came out with NEXT LEVEL, which was about 1000x better...
so her next album better seriously kick some ass.

[Ayumiko]

I didn't think I can get more disappointed after LOVE and again releases, and the classical tracklist. Now she combined both the minis into one bigger album with you & me? I'm tired of seeing you & me. Just 1 new pv on the album? I'm so glad I stopped buying her stuff. This is just ridiculous. This is coming from her fan since loveppears.

[owlflight]

I love the covers! Can't wait until February for this to be released (along with ayaka's single and Josh Groban's new album )

[sugarbasil]

I have only heard one or two new Ayu songs from the last year, since my interest in her and her music has dropped significantly over the last few years; so I will be happy to hear the album as a whole, but I can completely see why others would be pissed off about this situation. I've lost a lot of respect for Ayu in the last few years, but this has kind of been the big kicker. Yes, it's mostly Avex's fault, but Ayu could have put her foot down and prevented it from happening.
