I doubt that, mini albums don't sell much. Memorial Address was a one time thing.

[truehappiness]

I don't doubt Ayu's high sales..
I mean albums usually sell a LOT first week in comparison to singles.. especially for people like Ayu and Ai.

[jasjasss]

i guess
JEWEL / 1LOVE will not be released as a single
its album tracks rite ?
thats mean this year aYu only released 2 singles
ARgHH ~

aiyo
ayu is getting slacker
not good lah ayu !

[Mad_Cactuar]

YAY! I wonder what's the last song.

OMG! That means in like a few more weeks we'll get another Ayu CD! Thankd goodness I haven't bought any of the singles.

[ImpactBreaker]

Well there's a reason why mini-albums don't sell much. Physical CD sales are dropping in Japan, specially when it comes to singles, because people can't stand carrying large objects in order to play a few songs. You can put a full album CD for playing without much work, but CDs with little content will just make you waste your time putting it on a CD player, and later having to put something else because the CD was way too short.
Avex' definitely missing a good market strategist.

yea
but ma was a little bit different
760k copies for the first two weeks
nice

[kiseki89]

Hmm this means 3 more new songs... cant wait for them

[freedreamer]

Let me think...7 PVs..of which 4 are out..so theres only 3 to look forward to
I hope the three songs and PVs are gonna be better than the single tracks even though i like them...

So if its 2 singles and mini album this year...maybe next year she is gonna blast with all the gd songs since a mini album is kinda 'conservative'..restricted to tat max amt of songs...i hope wad im hoping comes true..

Nonetheless, it means that we can get the album earlier...and hopefully, 1 PV wont get shown...tat boost sales lol

Yup...thts a good thing....since she release so little this year, maybe she is storing for next year? who noes...

MA is the only #1 mini album in jpop history right? correct me if im wrong...

[criminal]

To be honest, I think if this isn't #1, she'd have an excuse because it's a mini album.
But I do hope the 2 or 3 new tracks are good and I'm looking forward to it.

Are you serious? That can't be right

[Queen Bee]

Thanks for the news about the mini album!

[AyuGAME]

[Qt Mashi]

It's not. but it IS the #1 mini-album... Only mini-album ever to have crossed 1mil

[DerrickRocks]

all i can say is that "Memorial Address" was off the hook "Because of you" blew alot of people away in the CM and the album version was awesome. Well Koda is rumored to have an album coming out in December that could be a huge reason why a mini album was decided but i bet 1LOVE and Jewel will be worth the mini album..Yeah i was a little upset too but i sucked it up at least Koda has a full album coming out and so does Ai Otsuka so im fine that is why im glad to like other artist instead of just idolizing Ayu like i did.. But yeah its a bad idea especially in the spot she is in when Koda can easily surpass her now and this year it may happen the torch may be passed... that is my opinion, lately Ayu has been letting her fans down cutting off the 3rd A-side to BlueBird was a no no. Not releasing Startin' on Miss Understood was a definate no seems like she just slopped songs together and focusing on her new upcoming tour

[Keishi]

Sexy. I personally hope that she did another cover song.



I'm pretty much happy that this year's singles are going to the new album. All of her recent songs sound like in experimental purpose.

[Aisha_Angel]

Seven is a lucky number...at least for me anyway. Hopefully it'll bring good luck to Ayu! Let's hope she keeps up mystifyed until November and only release ONE PV so that we'll suffer for the other two. But damn, November 29th is a long time from now.
