new album "A ONE" 2015.04.08 in stores II - Page 22

Well, aside from The GIFT now, haha. I wasn't entirely sure about it at first and I should have thought about it more since it talks about 'the two of us'. Other than that though, this album lyrically seems to be way less lovecentric than Colours and a few albums before.

And oh my god, WARNING is perfection.

TOTALLY AGHREE!
the key point for me is that she isn't just a singer who releases 2 3 songs, than an album and we won't hear from her for like 2 years uintil a new album comes up. she is continuos. the most exciting part is that she isnt just someone who sits there 2 hours and sings her songs. no - she visualizes it. she has performances, speeches, fun on stage. she can even laugh about herself which is very unusuall for such a celeb!! . shes trying so hard and sooo different from other musicans that i have the feeling that i am special bc i listen and watch her. noone can say hey, my most favorite artist just did this aerial dance (thing) in her latest concert. i really do feel special bc here where i live doesnt exist something like that.

The 'produced by ayumi hamasaki' at the end of everything makes me appreciate Ayu so much more.

those HQ previews sounds even more awesome

I tot she was pitchy in the longer LINE preview but the HQ preview makes her tug at the heartstrings. vocals are on point! and yes, ayu really has that emotional vocal charm

Does it seem like Yuta arranged WARNING? Or tasuku?

Coelacanth · #**426** 3rd March 2015, 06:12 PM

My money is on Yuta for WARNING. tasuku probably arranged TSMGO (since he also arranged snowy kiss lol).

Wonder what the deal is with 'Anything for You.'

The ballads on this album really sound like anime ending songs...especially The Gift...It could have totally been the ending song to some old anime.

I like it even better after hearing the HQ versions. I like WARNING a bit more, too...

Did you write about this problem through TeamAyu message form or Twitter? Has anyone here requested new mixing?

Well in generally mixing for her dvds are not done very well from the sound point of view. Like 5.1 sound is fake, I wonder why the never made it properly. There are usually no clean vocals on the central channel etc. TeamAyu staff doesn't make impression of the most professional people sometimes. I wonder how they would react on the request for the new mixing.

But in case with "Last minute" I actually thought it was problem with my iTunes bought version. Did they have iTunes special mixing?

truehappiness · #**430** 3rd March 2015, 09:37 PM

Last minute (album mix) would be good. LIVE BAND PLEASE.

You're right! I used to really want to hear her voice only on the central channel, but then I got used to the idea of that not happening.

I haven't! That's a good idea tho, I'll send them a message at some point this week.

Yay! I'm so happy ayu will be in some new magazines for "A ONE" promotion!

I'm totally looking forward to all the looks & fashion ayu will bring, to all these new photoshoots.

hayasaki · #**434** 4th March 2015, 01:35 AM

I wonder if she'll promote this Album on TV even just once..

truehappiness · #**435** 4th March 2015, 01:50 AM

I think she might perform The GIFT or WARNING at least once.

brener · #**436** 4th March 2015, 02:10 AM

i'm craving for some TV promo too

Zeke. · #**437** 4th March 2015, 02:39 AM

It would've been cool if Ayu had only recorded last minute as a "studio live" and had only releases that version. Similar to Olivia/trapnest "Recorded Butterflies" from the NaNa anime.

hayasaki · #**438** 4th March 2015, 03:14 AM

Can we make a petition for some TV promos this time too? LOL

truehappiness · #**439** 4th March 2015, 03:50 AM

Last minute (last minute ver.) hahaha~

You just referenced one of my all time favorite songs on the planet.

Way to go.
