I find sometimes people have strange expectations of Ayu, mostly older fans.

Sometimes I feel like people should step away for a bit, and accept that there are fans who aren't going to blindly fall in love with everything that Ayu does, just because it's her.

Unfortunately, I wish that were the case here. I accepted that long ago, sometime during Rock'n'Roll Circus and Love songs. It was a rough time during NEXT LEVEL though.

My personal mantra is that if you don't have something nice to say, maybe it's better to not say it too often.

^ that's a good philosophy to have. I'll go back to lurking again, until she puts out something I can genuinely get excited about.

FLOWER

I want BUTTERFLY.

To be fair, it seemed like you had some trouble accepting the fact some fans might like something you don't, not the other way around

I'm glad if she releases something as good as sixxxxxx again. I'm not expecting another LOVEppears or Duty because that's never going to happen again. I think A ONE as a little forgettable, but sixxxxxx does sound more polished compared to many of her recent releases.

[Lilly]

I think two songs will be called today because ayumi hamasaki is like Janice from accounting: she don't give a f*, not a single one

[Tom Punks]

I'm cool with all the titles except TODAY, just because it's such a bland and ugly and generic word lol. It gives me Sky high vibes too which is... yeah no thx. Thank god FLOWER's lyrics are dark because if she used that title on something encore and cheesy... also no thx.

Really don't want a second coming of sixxxxxx tho because that whole mini felt like soulless mediocre versions of old cliches. Like nothing on there really needed to exist because she'd done it all way better in the past.

I'd really like for her to do a full, proper album again. Colours felt more like a mixtape and A ONE just... didn't jive as an album idk. I just want a 14-track affair with a couple interludes and an overarching theme/concept that really feels unified... Don't really think that's gonna happen though. :<

I'm very excited as for lyrics snippets but they makes me want to hear previews now.

[truehappiness]

I have a strange feeling we will get the whole album in a week or so.

[Anna.L]

She posted something on TA now, saw on twitter

[truehappiness]

Winter chapter was posted on TA~

Last one tomorrow.

It seems strange that we have so much lyrical information already, and yet no preorders? Perhaps this will be a digital album? It's still shrouded in so much mystery.

She must want to pull a Beyonce and Lemonade us.

MADE IN JAPAN visual album as well?

Well the tour starts pretty soon. If the tour is going to contain songs from this album, there's an issue of momentum. If the album is dropped right at the beginning of the tour, you have an ideal setting.

I wouldn't want the tour to introduce the new songs, because the visual representations are going to trump the studio versions if the album is released after the tour begins.

The obvious solution is just to introduce a couple songs, let the tour commence, and drop the album mid-tour introducing all the other new songs and change the setlist.

Butt.... the album promotion really needs to start rolling, because it's a bit awkward that the album's namesake tour is already starting this next week and we don't even have a release date yet.

Imagine she release is it as a digital album only available to TA members.

I started thinking about this because I heard Beyonce's album is only available in the Tidal app that her hubby is the founder of?

Yeah for Rock'n'Roll Circus we at least had a date but for this...?

I would love a visual album, but I don't think she's even given us hints of PV recording yet? If she does release it digitally I hope it's not just for TA members. It took me a while to find Beyonce's album until I saw the movie is on itunes, and even then the resolution wasn't that great.

Yes, yes, yes! I don't think anyone could've put my exact feelings about this in words better. I really miss her proper albums and am deeply hoping that this one delivers in that regard; although, just like Tom Punks I don't have high hopes.

[truehappiness]

I think that was just an old formula that she's since then abandoned, really.

I'm kind of glad she's gotten out of the formulaic releases but oh my god, the unpredictability aside from a tour kinda kills me sometimes.
