she could do so, along with some new tracks from these realeses. That would be amazing. Imagine she is making the covers with "two Ayu's" again, omg.

I will just die. These covers are pure perfection.

[truehappiness]

I don't think we'll get a single from Ayu ever again [haha] to be honest.

[owlflight]

Like the title. Waiting for track list, covers and preorder links now...

[Akutenshi]

I really do not understand why people care about singles that much? You're pretty much getting a glorified single with "LOVE" lol.

Add to this the fact that she stopped after her 50th and called it "her last fortress" makes it all very ominous. Releasing these mini albums is all good and well, but after these 5 months there's no security that she'll release something again, whereas at least if she were to release a single now we'll know she had no intention to stop at 50 and that there'll be more singles to come, theoretically.

Ok, it does make sense, thank you It doesn't make a diffrence for me, but still, but there is always a chance she could stop even if she is realesing a regular singles tbh.

I'm so spoiled.
I hope we get three more mini-albums, A BALLADS 2 then A BEST 3.

edit: please.. Give us progress (Orchestral mix) on 'again' !

[Sunrise]

I wonder how many tracks this one will have, maybe 3 again? 4? I'm excited!

[Akutenshi]

On topic, I'm very excited that this is another mini album. Gives more weight to the "5 minis" theory, which I think is a very clever idea.

[LEOyumi]

Very excited! I hope that not all releases are minis, but I like the idea of another one. I hope there's a xmas song in there, or at least a xmas arrangement instead of a remix. XD

[truehappiness]

Perfect time to put out a winter ballad, imo.

[Zeke.]

Tracklist:
01. Song 4 me (Original mix)
02. Found (Original mix)
03. Harmony (Original mix)

What if "again" were just a bunch of re-records or re-makes? It would be a cool title for an album such as that, but I would prefer new songs.

I think I would die inside. Its a great idea, but look what happened with Sunrise/Sunset. Cool idea though.

That's exactly what I thougt. I want a Winter-Ballad on "again".

[cosmicfirefly]

Can't wait for more info! I don't care if she doesn't release anymore singles as long as she still releases something. I hope this new mini includes remixes too

Anniversary date is April 8th.

People are expecting something because all of these releases are 'leading up to the anniversary date' and do not end on April 8th.

^ for me (don't kill me) you already have. Missing IS kinda winterish power ballad to me. It doesn't have WINTER theme in PV but still, the arragment reminds me of putanywinterballad/momentum.

@th, oh, I see! So there is still a chance for a box/album AFTER 5 minis <yes.

Missing has those winter sounds in it, yes, but it is not a full-fledged winter ballad. I don't consider CAROLS or Together When... or JEWEL winter ballads either - they are just ballads. But No way to say, momentum, Days just have that Holiday spirit about them. God I just melt on the first snowfall when I listen to Days and No way to say!!
