Same goes for is this love? - I absolutely love that song due to it's heavy arrangement and amazing guitar bridge - an orchestra version would just seem... flat.

if they do it right, they can get some amazing tracks from rock songs. Or they need to take a totally different approach on them. It depends.

hmmm this whole thing sounds interesting, and i like the idea. So glad it's not some useles trance, dance bla bla remix. But still i'm more for NEW songs not new arangements, but oh well, lets wait and see how that turns out *shrugs*

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Ooooooh, exciting news!!! So curious to the songs she will choose! Thank you for making my morning!

[TeamAyu2004]

there are soooo many songs that I want to be on this!
Thats why I WISH/HOPE/NEED this to be a 2 disk set... although, it wont happen... :*(

I don't really believe ROCK songs should have orchestral arrangement (never understood why people wanted that) but a soft classical version of evolution would be nice! re-recorded. Orchestral JEWEL would be wonderful.

Yet GAME classical was prolly the most amazing piece on MY STORY Classical next to Catcher In The Light.

OMG

JAPAN & AHS, PREPARE TO EARGASM.

now i'm ready for very CLASSICAL covers. revive the diva Ayu! she's really slaying everything omg

[sanzo2011]

Amazing! can't wait for the tracklist!

[Party_King]

did u guys think this is the reason why she is actually in paris?
because if i'm right the orchestra for MY STORY ~Classical~ was in paris too?
Lamoreux Orchestra (or somthing similiar...)

[jang-kun]

^could be? wow that's a classical place to shoot a new mv.

so by any chance, again was recorded during early november? (she went to LA right? well that might be the case)

[truehappiness]

New vocals for everything would be amazing!

[Yoake]

OMG!!! I waited for this kind of album since a long time. I'm so glad that she release a new classical album.

[zellyx]

so excited!!! Haven't had an orchestral album in YEARS... unexpected... but I'm so pleased!! I prefer orchestral over remix tracks.

I remember liking GAME at the time and thinking the same thing but I went to listen to it and I find it just sounds off. I don't know the vocals do not sound "ONE" with the orchestra - maybe if it was a studio-live or re-recorded for the orchestra version. But, I don't like the part from :52 onward until the vocals come in. Then it just keeps doing that craziness in and out of the song and I don't like it. Wish there was a re-do on the vocals or even take the vocals out completely and have piano or something. walking proud is the best thing on MY STORY Classical

Idk, I guess I don't like "chaotic" orchestra. I love dramatic orchestra and there are parts I LOVE in that GAME mix, but even listening to that Rule mix - it's too "chaotic"

[Deep snow]

Wow I didn't see this coming. I cannot say how this is going to fare, sales-wise. Nevertheless I'm very excited because that Rule excerpt is awesome.

that would be amazing if it were true!!
I need a track list!!

[Taiki]

Not really what I wanted but I can't help being a bit excited for this!

[axmish87]

@truehappiness New vocals for this classical album would be PERFECT but is there enough time to rerecord new vocals i wonder???

[Kouyou]

It seemed like this was the direction she was going in. I'm excited to hear what this classical album has in store for us.

[emi♡]

eh...

I don't really want new vocals...unless she's going to sing them extremely differently.

[Jester]

OMG, okay Ayu next you should release the studio version from A POWER OF MUSIC
then I can rest in peace.

[axmish87]

Well A BALLADS have the best version of A Song for XX in my opinion at least
So i am really hoping on hearing something new and different which could be a double edge sword in the end.
Well if we can take the POWER OF MUSIC tour as an example of acoustic or classical iterations of how the new CLASSICAL album might sound like then i guess why not
I want my TRILOGY arrangement and those vocals, the legit studio version <3
