Bridge to the sky should have been a full song. It just wasnt long enough.

Well, Bridge to the sky was composed of pieces of NEXT LEVEL, so....

i fully expect that the bonus we get for buying all five items will be complete crap. honestly, it'll probably be a code to watch a special 15th anniversary video or something.

I don't think anyone knows what it will be. avex Taiwan and Hong Kong seem to have information that it'll be something physical aka not something you download since you have to redeem the cards with codes at stores apparently. BUT this isn't confirmed at all so no one has any concrete information. The last release will probably be when we get confirmation of just what the cards/codes are used for.

And anyway, a 15th anniversary video would be odd since the time period when the codes/cards are usable is 3/8-3/31... before the anniversary even happens.

I hope it's digital contents of some sort but something more than a wallpaper or screensaver. Maybe a bit more 'exclusive' feeling? Since the timeframe is so short, the likelihood of it being digital is pretty low since usually those are up for a few months before being taken down (do it again CDL making, You & Me making, etc.)

Why would Ivy need an interlude before it anyway? Ivy's genre isn't that different from what we can probably imagine untitled for her... story 2 to be. I recall she usually has the interlude before a ballad normally when whatever precedes the ballad = not even close to a ballad. Serenade and reBiRTH come to mind.

I don't think it will be the case but look at Letter and call. Everyone was pretty surprised when they both turned out to be full tracks.

I also agree, Bridge To The Sky was absolutely stunning! Love it! I tend to think of NEXT LEVEL as the album of GREAT interludes (better than most songs on that album, imo)

[FoObY]

Totally agree, NEXT LEVEL blew me away with its quality of interludes. I still can't get over how strangely "Pieces of SEVEN" leads into "Days" though.

I think you may be thinking of a different album.

Party queen
NaNaNa
Shake It♥
taskebab
call
Letter
reminds me
Return Road
Tell me why
a cup of tea
the next LOVE
Eyes, Smoke, Magic
Serenade in A minor
how beautiful you are

call and Letter were pretty obviously full tracks in retrospect after taskebab.

I remember Rock'n'Roll Circus had the 'surprise' non-interludes.

THE introduction
Microphone
count down
Sunset ～LOVE is ALL～
BALLAD
Last Links
montage
Don't look back
Jump!
Lady Dynamite
Sexy little things
Sunrise ～LOVE is ALL～
meaning of Love
You were...
RED LINE ～for TA～ [album version]

Italicized were tracks that people thought were interludes in 2010, I think.

Oh yes R'n'R for sure, everyone thought count down would be an interlude.
But I do recall people discussing the possibility of Letter being an interlude.

I just hope I can redeem my cards from Australia - it will be really annoying if, after all this, that the gift is Japan only. Hell, if that was the case, I'd be tempted to send my cards in anyway with ~1500 JPY to cover the postage to me lol

I really hope it's redeemable from all over the world, whatever it is. Ayu's YouTube has been uploading song previews with English subs so hopefully if it is something like a digital release/download that it's subbed

[rakeru]

I know she's probably going for a theme with these covers, but I wish she'd change it up a little. They're pretty, but getting a little monotonous.

[TeamAyu2004]

another example why those mini's are singles...

Im still not happy about that.

[HTMSD]

just want to ask, anyone here bought HK press of LOVE / again?
HK presses is come with serial code or not?

I really want to participate in her 15th anniversary by buying LOVE and again Japan press, but in the end, I don't have enough money to buy all Japan press. Also... I hate the blue obi of her Taiwan presses. So I'm thinking about getting CD+DVD HK press from LOVE until her 5th releases (and put the Japan press CD only on table). lol.

They seem to mention the cards here. It also seems like they are kind of interchangeable? So if you bought the Japan versions, the HK/Taiwan ones are okayish too?

I bet that 99.9% of people would want 6 new songs plus the latest tasku instrumental just because.

I agree a lot of her interludes could be amazing songs in full ...

tasking, Are You Wake Up?, starting over, The Judgement Day, reBIRTH, Opening Run, Introduction, Catcher In The Light, Kaleidoscope, Bridge to the sky, Load of the SHUGYO, taskebab, everlasting dream, taskinillusion, Jump!, Not yet, LABYRINTH

SO MUCH XD

[jewelbox]

^ especially judgement day.. It deserves to be full track just like mirror ~ mirrorcle world

[ayumisrael]

I think that LOVE again might have only 2 interludes.

task'n'bass and one of petal/glasses/Gloria. Maybe petal or Gloria, go figure but I have a hunch it's 2 this time.

It's been confirmed that there's only two interludes.

[TeamAyu2004]

^^ it was already announced that there are only 2

[Jawdarna]

I think glasses will be the other interlude.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I never mind interludes. Some I love as if they are just as well Ayu songs like opening run, bridge to the sky, montage, not yet.

[adantatu2]

Users are expecting only 2 interludes, but they expected 15 new songs
j/k I know it was announced.

I like interludes, but more than 3 interludes is horrible

[[H]]

What's the title of the CDL opening part before Wake Me Up? has it been released before? cause if that's one of the new interludes, then it's good!
