Ayu: Anything Goes [XXI]

[AyuWorld]

Autumn diary, i want a sad heartbreaking song now lol

[njanjayrp]

A few years back we'd be getting an album in a couple of days T_T

[truehappiness]

Yeah, it may be too late to announce something at this point. Maybe for January?

Does 2017 mark basically the first time without some kind of physical Ayu release since... ever? AT2016 was December 2016 and then we have WORDS... but that is it. Even if they're doing A WINTER BEST, that would probably be fine for me.

Just do another lemonade like for M(A)DE IN JAPAN and WORDS

[truehappiness]

Pretty much but we have no indicator that she recorded anything other than WORDS so I'm scared.

Clearly she is going to keep new release for next year.

A BEST 3 is highly possible

[Aderianu]

The more time goes, the more I'm afraid of next release. Next year is ayu's 20th anniversary, so there is a high chance that she will release overexpensive boxes with bunch of stuff

[~angel*ayumi~]

I am still hoping for a big anniversary concert.
but yeah I have the same fear @Aderianu
And I know that I most likley am not able to resist such a box

I can't wait until Ayu's next release so that the endless complaining that there isn't something new will finally end.

[Katsuyuki012]

I personally woud like an album to but I still preffer nothing over 'at least something' as long as it's not with new songs etc.. I really wouldn't see a need for another best (not this year, 20th is something different, I know) and I usually dont feel so hyped about such releases anyway. Honestly, something like a remix album would be much more interesting if there's the need to put out some "filler".

Then there'll be something else to complain about.

Yeah it´s nature of Ayu fans to complain

[oaristos]

If another compilation album is coming for her 20th anniversary, I imagine that something like BEST + studio album is possible? Or she'll spread out the releases throughout the year.

[freedreamer]

I wish she had the energy to come up with a really exciting project for her 20th Anni and not just...slap on an A BEST 3 and be done with celebrations. To be frank, I really really dont know how her reputation is in Japan at this point and if anything, 2018 is already headlined by Namie's retirement.

A BEST 3 + M0RE L0VERS

A COMPLETE 2

A 20 - JUST THE BEGINNING -


I am more for ayu-mi-x albums.. Some of her remixes are really good.

[aliceshields]

I hope for a tribute album.

[EndOfTheWorld]

I bet if Ayu did release something like a remix album or compilation album, there would still be complaining that that is all we get.
Ayu has actually released quite a lot of stuff the past 2 years. Even this year she has been really busy. It's not like she is doing nothing. She released a new song called WORDS not that long ago. She doesn't owe us anything. Ayu is busy playing for hundreds of fans every night despite her health situation and a busy 2018 ahead of her.

The previous compilation had some interesting arrangements however nothing was really as awesome as My Story Classical and Winter Diary was probably the worst song she has ever recorded �� It depends what they do with it. Been listening to Secret (album) a lot lately, so kinda hoping for something like that with a lot of great versatile melodies.

What I don’t want is another best of album - 2017 was all about celebrating the old songs so I am hoping for an album and a tour to promote it.

Personally I just am a little shocked there's been 0 releases in 2017. Usually there's at least a DVD or some remix or a compilation after 19 years of almost always releasing something with regard to the music or tours.
