New album 2012 ~Thread IV~

[stivenoto]

Hope Ayu can make them back together....


Gud luck Ayu....

[AyUmIXx]

ayu has a lot of things to handle, i doubt she would put herself into other ppl's problem.
moreover the article mentioned bout Ayu's and EXILE's sales are declining lately and not bringing much profit to the company, therefore they are planning to make the reunion project, for me it sounds like they underestimate ayu and EXILE. I know their sales are not at the best if compare with Tohoshinki (when 5 people), but still they shouldn't mention about that.
and if Ayu help avex to negotiate for the reunion, that means ayu wants help avex to gain more profit? for the sake of company? that doesn't sound like what ayu gonna do. we all know that She doesn't really care about her own sales, then why would she help the reunion to gain more profit for the company? moreover she got problem with avex during a-nation about JUNO thing, so i highly doubt that she'll be the negotiator.

[YUKARI]

^ c'mon, it's all about money. she's a business woman after all. she's avex shareholder, isn't it?

[TeamAyu2004]

^ yes. I high;y doubt she would be doing this out of her on free time (whatever that might be). She is going to get something out of it, for sure.

She did no promo at all, had no tie-ins, and store promo also isn't that amazing. =/

EDIT: I don't know why I thought this the ayaka thread. lol.

MTE, i don't mind collabs but if she does them then pick someone unique, not just one of the 100000000 pop voices...




she needs to give us some info on the album cuz now this thread is turning into WHATEVER discussion...

[Zeke.]

I hate the collabs. I listen to Ayu because I want to listen to AYU. Not to have some cheap pre-pubescent sounding male vocalist shoved down my throat and out my a__.

Ayu and Ku don't really need promo as it wouldn't be as effective cuz no one but their fans cares about them...JAPONESQUE is selling the way it's expected and no promo would make it sell more than DejaVu.

I do agree on that but I do think promo would help push the album to reach the 100k mark first week...

Perhaps, but the increase wouldn't be drastic

[Gustavopc]

For a second I though I was in Kumi's thread lol

Looks like I'm one of the few who would like ayu to sing duets again. It was kinda refreshing getting Why... and ANother song, after years without feats. But for the next time I'd like her to sing with a girl

[TeamAyu2004]

^ I liked Why more than ANother Song... lol.. I still like the title though..

I WANT NEWS!!!

[pepper]

Problem with collabs is that when someone is in the song, automatically it doesn't sound like Ayumi's song anymore (maybe except Why, but still JUNO's voice makes it a little more "one of the million songs")

[RayJason]

I wouldn't mind, as long as she doesn't collaborates with Timmy or Urata. I'd prefer an ayu-only album though.

[TeamAyu2004]

Did anybody like A Song is Born?

I like the Tatsumaki trance remix. I thought their voices worked very well together at the time. The original is a bit boring. Not because of the duet - it's just kind of a dull song.

funny thing is that EXILE still outsell them now and when they were five

I don't mind if Ayu adds a collab on the album, but I can't think any female that is compatible with her,nor have a heard many female duets

but JUNO again,would be nice

[pepper]

I would love to hear her collab with female voice. I am not a fan of A song is born, but their voices fit well together.

[Kazeyomi]

I don't think we will hear more collabs.
I think they were just for FIVE project, like as for a song is born it was made for 11/9.

BUT if she will gonna make more duets, I wouldn't mind though.
Especially if she will work with JUNO again Why... was my favorite collab and the best one on FIVE imo.

[errikkutrancex]

For Collab, I'll dream to hear Ayu & Namie Amuro or with Meisa Kuroki ! :p
