All I was saying is why not. People are referring to her newest mini albums as singles, so why not just name them whatever you want. This is not about you, I was referring to others. |

Holy monday. It's time for new pretty information please.

^ I also think so. Maybe not everything at once, but like in four days we'll have covers, tracklist and previews.

I really never understood the idea behind calling SS a compilation, besides the fact that Japan loves bests and her last best album sold like crazy. Or maybe because there was only one album track, plus PVs?

^ It must be to generate "excitement"
That album aint no best. It's just 12 singles released for the album. It's like a BIG album, with one nyuu track. |

So, its proof that avex is not above calling a release something that it is not to generate more hype/$$

It seems like that's the case. It's like calling these 2 Ayu releases Mini Albums when they're obviously not... her old singles got even more stuff on them before. A anyone?

yes the instrumentals make this minis like a singles, and FIVE is like a maxi single like 4TIMES was a maxi single.This is so crazy xdd I think Memorial Address was the 1 and only Mini album xd

The first two so far have been minis, but there is information (apparently) that indicates that the next release is -not- a mini judging from the price. Not sure how they found out, but apparently before 'again' was announced, there was information about an upcoming release that was the same price as LOVE what do you know... we got again (which is the same price/size as LOVE). Hopefully it's something interesting~ judging from the poll they released for this week, it will probably be a best. Oh! There was a bit of an update about filming a PV on Ayu's Twitter. She just wrapped up filming with Maro directed by Masashi Muto in what seems like Hawaii. She tweeted about 'hard boiled scenes' and having injuries that had to be bandaged up.

I wonder if they plan to release info about the 1st Jan release along with everything about [again]...they will really create some havoc HAHA

Hmmm, probably not? Though if it is actually a best, they won't have to do much for it and just have a tracklist with a spot for a new song or two + PV.
As for this new release, I wonder if we'll be able to tell what kind of song this is from the description she had on Twitter. Perhaps it'll be like Virgin Road?

I think the reason why Koda's album was considered a best was because it was the 12 weeks things... they could have gone through 100's of tracks and picked those to be considered the best... we dont know what went on behind the scenes. and quite frankly the A single was fought teeth and nail to be considered a single. Oricon wanted to put it on the album charts but avex refused saying it was a single. |

Even with the same content, mini more expensive than single. We automatically pay for the special "gift"

well not really... if you look at ayumi's singles from her heyday, the huge ones...
lets see: M cost : 1260 yen to compare to this mini album: Love cost: 1575 (CD only) Now counting for inflation its pretty much on par for the same price. if you want to compare Love to another mini we can do it with Memorial Address and FIVE. MA (cd only): 2100 (8 songs) FIVE (CD only): 1890 (five songs)... LOVE is cheaper than five and we are getting about twice the content. avex isn't really masking this 'single' as a mini to jack up the price or they would of charged more. It's so frustrating to see people say this is a single in disguise because avex wants to charge more when it clearly isn't the case. |

Aderianu is still correct tho. Using current pricing singles with tons of content are never priced over 1200 yen (not counting non musical bonuses like photobooks etc.) while mini albums can range from 1500 to 2000 yen, even if it has the exact same content.
The inflation example doesn't work with M btw since within that timeframe the price of music in Japan hasn't increased |
