[Aderianu]

The singer's last classical album was "A Classical", which was released back in January of 2013. Her upcoming album will include mashups between her already released love songs and famous classical pieces. While the track list has not been revealed at this time, the album is said to feature performances from orchestra members who play in classical concerts.

If they intended to mash-up 2 Ayu songs together, they wouldn't have used the term "classical", but "classic" instead. There's a huge difference here.
Classical music is what we can hear in MY STORY Classical or A Classical.
Classic(s) is songs like evolution, M, Voyage, Trauma.... "Classic" in Ayu's terms of course.

Here's a video from Adooph (youtube-based remixer), that can be an hint of what that could sound like (I hope so) :

Wow!! Voyage sounds amazing but I dun wish for another Voyage mix LOL give other songs a chance..
if its gonna be like this, it would be SO COOL

That preview sounded amazing and got me very excited! I wish she would resing everything with the current vocals tho.

So, it's confirmed that it will be mashups with "famous classical pieces"
(like Pachelbel's canon, Moonlight Sonata, Mozart's Requiem, Für Elise, etc....)

[BlackSilence]

now if that's the case, THIS should be interesting. I would just hope they would re-record the vocals. But no such thing lol

[kotora]

I hope ayu can get on YouTube and see how creative her fans can be and bring it to business. She could do it for her logo but why not her albums

[inspire_rmx]

I'm excited about this Love her classical remake of her songs

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I'm skeptical, but hopeful. Maybe I'll be thoroughly impressed. Either way, I'll be getting it.

[FoxyPinkGirl]

My guess it's going to be happy love songs. So some of our dream orchestra songs probably won't make the cut it would nice if they finally did JEWEL. I bet we'll see the same of her big songs on the album lol

[owlflight]

The more I think about it, the more I am a bit concerned. If this really is some sort of classical mashup with Ayu songs, the execution is going to have to be damn near perfect to impress people.

More ballady/LOVE themed songs... Is she ever gonna stop for a second lol.

I know I know, Colors.... But well, it was too WESTERN to satisfy me.
I want Party Queen 2 :<< xD

I sense that ANGEL SONG and HONEY will make it to the tracklist. oh god.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Hm...I wouldn't hold my breath for those tracks though... :/

Oh God, please no -__-'
HONEY classsical version was a slaughter.....

[orangeakira]

^I can't stand the original version of Honey. The classical version made it very "classy". I love it. If anything is "slaughtered" it's her disgustingly cutesy/high pitched voice over a beautiful French Orchestra.

I bet Symphony No. 5 is going to end up somewhere on this album. It's too popular to not use.

[Zeke.]

HONEY is not bad. I love the arrangment of the song. The only time her cutesy voice was actually disgusting was in Thank U because it just didn't sound natural anymore. Well, it certainly wasn't natural in HONEY either but at least it wasn't as jarring as in Thank U where she sounded like a hoarse Grandma.

this is what i'm thinking as well. You have to nail it to make it impressive.

[stickyrice]

The whole concept to me sounds like it will be like Sweetbox. Blending classical elements with a pop twist and not just taking Ayu's vocals and putting it over a classical piece. In any case, I'm cautiously excited.

Who else in JPop does ballads better

Interesting comment. What makes Party Queen less Western than Colours? J Pop is anything but Japanese other than being produced by Japanese people in their language. Some distinct qualities that are enough to call it Eastern, like the melody and instruments, exist in some of her songs but none in Party Queen I'd say.

The classical version of HONEY was fantastic y'all need to take a seat.
