THE 1st AYA KAMIKI & UROBOROS thread

[Yoake]

When I saw the thread I thought it was something new. I don't want a compil. At least there is a new song on it but...it's not enough.
I wonder why avex don't pay more attention to her. It's a pity! I hope Avex doesn't want to drop her!

[AyusakiFan]

I'm having a hard time deciding which version to preorder. I usually get the version with the DVD but the CD only version has the new song. I guess once we get more information about the content on the DVD, I'll make a decision from there.

should scare you that her staff didn't want the title out so early as well. but once amazon put it up, everyone did.

sure sounds like a final release, especially with the mix of label songs.

never could stand her avex music.

Really? I love her Avex music, lol. Although it looks quite bad right now, I really hope that this isn't marking the end of her Avex career. I really hope this album sells well so they can see that she is an asset at their record label.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

The fact that GIZA songs are included is scaring

[Beauty4123]

i honestly never heard her GIZA music (except for the song "are you happy now?") but ever since she came on avex, i've really liked aya's music. so although she's not part of my main artists, i'll still be pretty upset if she does end her career with this album. but what if she got picked up by another label? who knows, it could happen, lol.

[adantatu2]

oh no, this sounds really bad, another compilation album could be the end of her avex career!!
she is beautiful, talented, and she makes nice music, she needs just promo !
i hope she can release more stuff in the future like alan

Her last mini album sales weren't that good (it was released around the date that the tsunami hit so it's understandable considering the circumstances) so to see a title for the next release titled "The Final Journey" feels quite strange. According to the description though, this is supposed to be a commemorative album to celebrate the 5th anniversary of her career so I'm hoping this is more positive than negative. While I would personally prefer a new album over a compilation album, I've only heard a few songs from her GIZA discography so if they are not the songs I've already heard, this will feel a bit newer to me. Anyways, I really hope the new song gets a PV as well!

+1

Does her releases get oversea versions? This compilation seems interesting, but Kumi's new single made me a bit poor

^ all info on the DVD release is out as well.

[Utena]

lmao I checked this morning and nothing was up i'm so cursed ahah
Those are some super awful covers.. This release is so useless.
I was planning on buying it but I guess I'll just pass..

[Yoake]

Is it joke? She isn't on the covers.

Here is the website pic:

[Beauty4123]

^ that picture should have been an cover, lol. i love it!

i guess i'll only look forward to those 2 new songs.

[AyusakiFan]

Although I was originally planning on preordering the limited edition and the DVD, I think I am going to pass for now and figure out if I'd rather buy her GIZA studio albums instead depending on if I like them as a whole. As for the DVD, I may or may not order it at a later time and see if it goes on sale or if I can get it on eBay for cheaper.

[Beauty4123]

aya made a pretty long post on her blog:

On august 2011 she made the decision that it would be her '"FINAL JOURNEY", but she doesn't want it to sound like a retirement.
Even though she'll stop releasing CDs for a while, she will still focus on her career, but another side of it : lives. She wants to be able to enjoy a lot more of every single people and music, and in order to fulfill that, she needs to do more lives.

http://ameblo.jp/ayakamiki-blog/entry-10991736760.html
(translation made by Utena)

also, aya will still be making music but it'll be distributed digitally (like digital singles?) and she's still with her management, but i'm not so sure if she's still with avex. it's sad, since i really liked her avex music.

[Utena]

I got the confirmation that she'll be leaving avex and remain with her agency Box Corporation. And yeah, she'll still make new music, but nothing will be released physically for now, only as digital singles or so.

Sad news for me, but I hope I'll be able to see her perform someday

[Yoake]

At least, she won't vanish from the surface of the Earth.
Maybe, her live'll be release in DVD. Who know?!

[adantatu2]

her career with avex was so short !!!
at least she will release more music in the future.
I hope she can get a contract with Sony
