This better be good, I bothered to pre-order two months in advance.

Has anyone noticed the reviews of this album on yesasia? nakashima yumi says "This album containing 'STEP you' 'is this LOVE?' 'fairyland' 'alterna' 'HEAVEN' and 'will' has been expected to be called indiVISUAL"

sounds interesting.

Yup, definitely. This year's singles are much better than MY STORY's ones.

Moments + INSPIRE c/w GAME + CAROLS

V.S

STEP you/is this LOVE? + fairyland c/w alterna + HEAVEN c/w Will

I think it's kinda obvious which singles are better! Plus, there another one coming up soon.

actually, i'm not a huge fan of heaven, step you, or fairyland. the mystory singles win for me. although imo, My Story wasn't even close to ayumi at her greatest.

That does sound really interesting, maybe it means that the songs WON'T be on the album but on the DVD only. Which seems wayyy unlikely, but that would be really awesome. I'm excited to see if there is a "Will" PV. I still want a PV for "HAPPY ENDING" too.

Also those rumored titles are really BAD. "In My Poukit" LOL, it's Engrish version of Mandy Moore's "In My Pocket". I don't really like any of those titles. The other titled rumor "FREEDOM" sounds decent though... but it sounds more like something she should have released inbetween "I am..." and "RAINBOW".

I don't know if there is any truth to this or not. What do you think?

jerms · #**186** 30th October 2005, 05:16 AM

er(?)

what the, hahaha i'm so lost. that poster does however state the 3 songs previously posted that sound pretty lame.

Endlessoul · #**187** 30th October 2005, 05:22 AM

CARNIVAL...The title is bad...I dont like that...lol

wait a minute I saw the titles there...hmm

I actually wouldn't be suprised if Carnival DID turn out to be the album title. Ayu obviously seems to have an obsession with clown/carnival imagery throughout several of her videos and songs.

I actually wouldn't mind that title. Like Freedom, yes it is simple, but just because it is simple doesn't mean that it isn't meaningful.

Also I just noticed that it says the DVD will have 9 videos! For that reason alone, I hope this rumor is true.

Where did you get that image from?

Something working against this rumor though is that Ayu rarely ever has 3 word titles of her songs.

Raleigh · #**189** 30th October 2005, 08:01 AM

Looks fake to me...

TeamAyu · #**190** 30th October 2005, 09:53 AM

I'm going out on a limb here and going to say this PROBABLY real. As stupid as some of the new songs sound... this Ad looks like A LOT of the official CD ads that Kinokuniya puts up for albums. Plus the 9 clips are listed out too AND DID YOU NOTICE their actually REALLY accurate. There are actually 9 songs listed and ALL of the PVs released so far. They didn't make any stupid mistakes like fakes usually do. "CARNIVAL" actually sounds like something Ayu would put out too.

Everything seems completely TRUE and POSSIBLE. Plus there are no real mispellings or errors plus they write the titles like Ayu does sometimes like how their all lower case or whatnot. I'm gonna believe this. As much as I HATE the title and the title of the new songs... it's not like she's been good at naming her songs lately so yeah. Disappointed with the names but I'll get use to it like I did with bad titles from "MY STORY" like "Replace" and "Humming 7/4".

What does it say about 12.27 though? Is it released early? Or something? But man this seems SO real. I can't get over it hahaha

So I'm guessing the DVD will be like this:

01. STEP you
02. is this LOVE?
03. fairyland
04. alterna
05. HEAVEN
06. Bold & Delicious
07. Save your dream
08. I'm Not Alone
09. in my pocket
10. Making-Of STEP you
11. Making-Of is this LOVE?
12. Making-Of fairyland
13. Making-Of alterna
14. Making-Of HEAVEN
15. Making-Of Bold & Delicious

and the tracklisting we have so far:

"CARNIVAL" OUT 1.1.2006

01. STEP you
02. is this LOVE?
03. fairyland
04. alterna
05. HEAVEN
06. Will *POSSIBLY*
07. Bold & Delicious
08. Pride
09. Save your dream
10. I'm Not Alone
11. in my pocket
12. NEW TRACK
13. NEW TRACK
14. NEW TRACK
15. NEW TRACK

There's actually NOT ONE mistake I can find on there so far.... it even talks about the 70 pg. Photobook too. My gawd this is the real thing.

I'm Not Alone.... CLOWNS POP OUT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AYU STOP IT WITH THE CLOWNS! I'm having a gut feeling that there's going to be a sequel to "WONDERLAND".

SunshineSlayer · #**191** 30th October 2005, 10:16 AM

I agree, this does sound the most plausible of the rumors so far. The 12/27 could mean it is released the week of the 27th, but the actual day it is released is the 1st.

I actually like the title Carnival, it presents a lot of opportunity to do some really thematic things. As for the 3 song titles, I don't love them, but I don't think they are bad either - she has certainly had worse. Also, I would say that it is not certain if Pride will be on the album yet either, along with Will.

Qt Mashi · #**192** 30th October 2005, 10:23 AM

wow i hope that rumour isnt true~~

That's really great! How many pvs shall be there?

nanami606 · #**195** 30th October 2005, 05:21 PM

I believe it's gonna be CARNIVAL as well. though I want my CHICKEN!!!
In my pocket's probably an interlude. I'd prefer indivisual to carnival but it doesn't go with the songs at all...

*Petit* · #**196** 30th October 2005, 05:47 PM

I'm really wondering what's going to happen to "will".

But with a title as carnival, I'm really looking forward to seeing the cover art and the booklet!

elepop · #**197** 30th October 2005, 06:47 PM

At first, I thought "CARNIVAL" sounded weird but I can see it now. But it's not even really sure so we'll have to wait.

"HEAVEN" and "fairyland" aren't as good, they're plain compared to "CAROLS" and "INSPIRE". They give a huge impression of déja vu. I'll buy the album just because of the 3 stand out songs and for the DVD.

I thought "Moments" was okay but too repetitive. "CAROLS" was boring and easily forgot it. "INSPIRE" was bad, just bad. "GAME" was not good enough compared to her previous rock songs. I thought "Because of you" was the song that introduced her new rock style. Which was way better than "GAME".

On the contrary, I thought "STEP you" is a good pop song. "is this LOVE?" is really good and emotional. "Will" is PERFECT. "HEAVEN" is wonderful. "fairyland" is my least favorite one but still way better than "INSPIRE". And "alterna" is PERFECT too. I have a good feeling that this album will be better.

LOL When I first heard "I'm Not Alone" I immediately imagined some regular, boring ballad along the lines of "I'm not alone / because you were there beside me" etc etc. But if it would be something like you said with clowns watching her and popping out... that would be SO AWESOME! Haha, I always love titles that are sort of misleading like that.

...*And still hoping for a Will PV*. ;_;

I think her "new" rock style actually goes all the way back to "End of the world" from duty.

This could be Ayu's scary "Thriller" PV. She's being chased by zombie clowns - who wouldn't run from those?
