New Album on 1st Jan 2006

[SakuraDropsX2]

I can't wait for this album! Too bad its after Christmas... Maybe I'll just ask for money this year. XD I'd like to get the first press edition. I'm also excited to hear Bold & Delicious. Such an interesting title its gotta be good. I think Pride will sound something like walking proud or winding road. ^_^ Its kinda hard to know whats true about this album with all the rumors floating around... Any word on the title?

[AyuRlz]

at least we know the date.. but i would be looking forward to dates like 23rd dec where it becomes a christmas present for us. but it has been delayed till next year. oh boy, guess we have to use it as a new year present

[Qt Mashi]

^ yeah i wish it was before christmas~~ it would be sweet if i got it for a christmas prezzie

i don't think it got delayed like I am...~

[Mad_Cactuar]

Hopefully if I'm Not Alone turns out to be true, it is a rock song.. I dont want anymore ballads.. Carols and HEAVEN was enough to last for another year.. CLOWNS! This calls for.. NEW SIGGY!

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".

I thot there's already got making of fairyland and HEAVEN ??
So now its in video format ??

[Qt Mashi]

^ umm maybe...it's just a rumour so maybe...but i would rather a video format though

[Mad_Cactuar]

Video format would be good..

I was thinking along the same lines as you... that this looks genuine because it mentions the photobook. There's also something about a making of on the DVD for 'in my pocket'...

[royle]

I really want to have the photobook.
Can i order from the Tower Record in my country or Kinokuniya ?
will it be the same then ? how am i supposed to tell them what cd in fact there is not tittle of it?! sighs .. I guess the Code of the cd isnt same with the Japan Tower Record's . Is it ?

If i order from yesasia , how am i gonna to know whether the cds i am order now is the 1st press with photobook or not ...

[Raleigh]

^Supposedly Yesasia has firstpress edition next to the album title. I preordered from them and hope that it shall really be available.

How abt they dont ? they just send u the regular version ?

[HanabiChick]

The way yesasia does it is this: they will ship out first press editions until they run out, then they send out regular editions. If they run out of first press before they get to your order, then you'll just get a regular edition. Pre-ordering early is the only way to increase your chances of getting a first press, but it's no guarantee that you'll get one. You'll only know which edition you get when it arrives.

since there's been so many days already.. so i think preorder the oversea version will be better as the chance to get the 1st press editon (oversea version ) will be higher then..

How abt order from local stores ??? can i still get the 1st edition ??

[Qt Mashi]

^ but..we still not sure yet if overseas version will have the photobook...

Who CARES about the photobook?! I'm only concerned about the content of the disc.

[hopeorpain]

I care about both photobook and album! Iam just hoping for the os version..since I'll be gone from home when the 1st press is released

can't wait!!

[[taskin.ayu]]

The overseas version always has the stuff the first print Japanese version has right? So no need for me to get the first press. 8D

I thought they notified you if they ran out of firstpress? If not I'll cancel it and order it from cdjapan..e.e

[Yarumi]

lol, so is this rumor true now??? I need to preorder XD XD If not...

But the tracklisting sounds sooo fake! When have you know Ayu to put the tracks on her album like that.... the singles in order with theirother sides follwed behind them??? Seems strange unless this is just a sample track?

They don't. There's details on Ayu's new album page about there being bonus items, and a link to a page with these extra details:

Initial Pressing bonus extras are usually available only in limited quantities. Once the initial pressing has sold out, we will begin to send out the regular edition (without initial pressing bonus extras) without any prior notification.

So, you'd only know which edition you'll get when it arrives.
