New album titled 'MADE IN JAPAN'

[Surreal17]

This title "MADE IN JAPAN" makes me think of "I am..." . A worldy theme with both traditional and hi-tech elements.

[kotora]

I am satisfied.

[terra]

I'm ready for anything she'll throw at us! As long as it's not another LOVE again lmao
And I'm excited for the tour, I hope she does sing B-sides

[Zeke.]

Hope to god she's not doing music with those two turds in that pic, or afrojack. Music will be all generic edm-style horns and firetruck-like alarms.

Ah yes, my favorite. I hope she works with them.

[Aderianu]

It happened for LOVE and sixxxxxx... no way this can't happen again. If it is some other concept though I would be FLOORED and excited.

I wish she dressed like a transitional Japanese woman for the album cover.

[freedreamer]

IM SUPER EXCITED KNOWING SHE'S NOT WRITING ABOUT LOVE! LOLOL
Super pumped for relatable and emotional lyrics. Regardless of whether it will do well, I just wish she produce material that are personal and really provocative (not in the sensual way) because that is who Ayu is.

I'm ok with the album title and IM SO EXCITED she's gonna sing rare songs because I'm going to the final!!! Hope the album will be out someone in the middle of the tour though

(and when i saw this A ONE 2.0...i thought she might call it A TWO lmao)

[mizuki-7]

Yes but that's chinese over baidu who make these suppositions according to the pictures of the last Numero Tokyo but we actually have no true indication except what inspired her for lyrics !

[Aderianu]

I want her to wear yoshikimono ^_^

Spoiler:

[aliceshields]

^ Nice outfit


*************


I'm all well ready for her next new album....

Don't know what cyber bullying has to do with Japan, at least not speficially as it is a worldwide problem.
Hoping for a well produced sound with an edgier image to darker lyrics.

I can just speculate what she exactly meant, but when I read that part what popped in my mind was that when you go to Japanese message boards since a while, you have a lot of racism against "the Chinese" and "the Korean" going on. It's not even funny anymore. Also the comments which get the most likes are in 99% racist. Overall Japans right got a lot stronger during the last few years under Abe.
Of course she could have meant somerhing else and wasn't referring to that matter. But in case she wanted to refer to this she wouldn't have had the possibility to be clearer since artists get easily fired in Japan by their company nowadays for speaking up against anything.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

So what songs do you guys think?! OMG.

[kinix]

I hope she's singing monochrome n part of me~

[pimenta]

I'm all in for dark lyrics *-*
I've said before, but I like MADE IN JAPAN as an album name. I'm just hoping for good mixing, please let the mixing be properly done...

[truehappiness]

I had a feeling about it, but I wasn't really sure about the name = tour title this time. Though it is a welcome title. I hope the cover looks iconic. IMO sixxxxxx did a pretty good job of that.

I hope the album covers more interesting subjects than her last few albums. Internet bullying and Japanese society would be great to write about. I want Party Queen 2 in terms of lyrical content.

I do think the title is kinda tacky, though... MADE IN JAPAN. Hopefully it's saved by a nice font and cover. We haven't had an iconic cover since...RnR Circus? FIVE was good but copied True Blue. After that it's mostly just beauty shots and pink.

Dark *and* isn't necessarily based upon love? Looking forward to the new album!
