If that's true, then an official announcement should be coming soon, there's no much time left for the supposed release...

[Zeke.]

Lol this isn't true. Like who is still hanging onto this? Her singles/products are announced 6 weeks in advance. Covers within 3-4. Seriously.

[adantatu2]

The sources are good, but sadly, they aren't from TA, hahahaha, I'm getting crazy, ayu just release a song featuring Pitbull and I'll be happy, you can shake your as* like Nicki Minaj if you want

[Isicio]

And Premium Showcase DVD was cancelled so anything can happen

[hidekirby]

I don't really get all the excitement, it's just 2 remixes in the end. And a PV. Well, that's what they said...

Need fresh -great- brand new stuff.

Why do you need new stuff? Colours came out 2 months ago. Be grateful that she might releasing anything at all. We've gotten 1 physical single in the last 3 years. I'll be happy with whatever she releases.

I can understand why the would cancel the re-cut single since it will most likely at most sell around 15k, and there's no use for it, unless it has a PV and a good remix.

But the premium showcase...why cancel that? unless they're planning to package the single + the DVD together ala Ami Suzuki's Snow Ring or Kimura Kaela's Mamireru. That would make sense, in fact I would prefer that, since it is a showcase and not a tour so why would it get it's own DVD release?

Probably they only have a tentative date for the Premium Showcase release and are not announcing it just yet, it'll probably be released a bit later

Because Colors don't really satisfy me. I'm skipping 3 songs out of ten (moreover I already added My way and Tell all to it...)
I don't have to be grateful. No one does. I pay what I listen to you know.

So because she is not releasing a lot lately, it means that we have to lower our standards? For me it's the exact oposite. Less quantity encourage creativity/quality (when those things are important to you).

[Isicio]

They will be change the release date anytime we got near to the day of release? Next release date will be 1 of October? This weird release makes me HUNGRY

Colours doesn't satisfy you when you only skip 3/10 songs? Doesn't that means 7/10 songs satisfies you (if not you could just skip all and not listen at all?
Then you mentioned that you love quality more than quantity... a bit ironic in my sense. As per above you seems to make a big deal that you expected a 10/10 album.

Anyway, I think what orangeakira meant was that we shouldn't be too demanding with what she should/should not release.
which might be the same as what you said Quality > Quantity.

I understand what you mean but you can see it both ways.
We got an album composed of 10 songs and this album is not even cohesive, the quality is not constant. It would have been really easy to have an electro pop album. I could not listen to the thing at all, you are right but there are some songs that I really enjoy (and others that I enjoy while thinking the arrangements are horrendous...) So quantity is not there I'm ok, but quality is lacking too.
A single with Pray/HNM/WIFL plus a mini with the other new songs would have been a clever pattern IMO. There is no artistic direction, real decision.

And to be clear, I'm not making a big deal out of anything. I just expressed my opinion that I don't really understand the dilemma about 2 remixes and a PV (proof that I don't care that much, and it's been a long time) that I need something fresh and great even ONE great innovatve song would be enough. And I will move along if she won't. Please don't read what I'm writing as a rant. I'm doing quite fine discovering plenty of other artists. I'm just SAD.
To sum up it's been too long I've been waiting for somethong great.
And I know people will tell me "nobody forces you to listen to her". But I like her as an artist/some of her recent songs. So I still like to listen to her new stuff. But man the quality has dropped so much. And it's not because of the quantity! The only -sad- thing I can think about is that she doesn't really care about what she is releasing anymore or that she is not herself a great artist and that she just had clever professionals behind her the first 7 years or so (professionals who miraculously reappeared for Love songs haha).

I'm not demanding with what she should/shouldn't realease (if this Terminal single is going to happen... I would be glad for people waiting for it. I'm just demanding with the actual songs she is releasing, because she has enough time to polish things and invest herself in what she does (and because as an atist she should be demanding herself or not releasing half assed things).
Well I don't really want to start another discussion here but it won't be more boring that the actual It's releasing/it's not haha.

[maikaru]

The Quality vs. Quantity argument is really crap, tbh. In her hayday when she was releasing a million songs a minute, there was not one song where I was like "Please, I don't want to hear anymore," unlike some of the stuff from Colours. I really, REALLY don't understand why Terminal is hailed as such a great song. The song sounds like everything has just been copied and pasted everywhere, and nothing is dynamic about that song, like AT ALL. So I am 100% glad that this song is not being released as a single. I have listened to the album like 2 times, and I just. I can't. Lelio is great though, I like that song. And Pray. But yeah... I even enjoy her voice in progress than in Angel. Adskjashadsldkhaslkadshdsa. It just sounds like everything is halfassed with no real care made for the songs. I dunno. Ahhhh.
