Hmmm... Dun't know why MY STORY always look like a completed album than Miss Understood...

truehappiness · #**984** 18th October 2006, 02:44 AM

imo, MY STORY felt more complete because of the GEO tracks that sort of 'interrupt' the flow of everything.

That's how I feel on the subject anyway. :|

I don't think the GEO tracks interrupted the flow at all, I loved everything about (m)u, except maybe criminal/Pride.

truehappiness · #**986** 18th October 2006, 02:46 AM

Well, I wonder if (m)u would've been a wee mini album had GEO not stepped in..

immel · #**987** 18th October 2006, 02:49 AM

Nah, I don't think so. The GEO inclusion was planned from the very beginning, or at least that's how it seems to me after what I read about it.

If GEO wouldn't have been there, there would have been others.

truehappiness · #**988** 18th October 2006, 02:50 AM

Well, the GEO only popped in about 2-3 singles into 2005.. :|

Yukitora · #**989** 18th October 2006, 02:55 AM

Planned from the beginning? From what I read, she (not seriously) said she wanted to sing their songs and then sometime later she recieved the demo tapes...

I thought she recorded some (other) tracks in hawaii... either way, I thought that meant we'd be getting a flux of the other album tracks this year, but instead it's a mini-album >_<

immel · #**990** 18th October 2006, 02:57 AM

She received the demo CD with all compositions on, and then she started working on them.

So she had all the compositions already, when the first Ayu-GEO song was released, and was probably working on several of them at the same time.

Just speculation.

truehappiness · #**991** 18th October 2006, 02:58 AM

It was just 1 LOVE / JEWEL in Hawaii.. and most likely the covers + new song were done in L.A in mid-September.

About the GEO:
She really was into SWEETBOX for a time and listened to their greatest hits [Raw Treasures I think..] a lot.. and she had three copies! One for work, home, and her car. So the staff was like "Hey, they're on avex! Let's ask if they can contribute to Ayu.."

And then the staff did their thing.. and.. yeah.. :|

immel · #**992** 18th October 2006, 02:59 AM

It's pretty possible that she recorded her next single there, too.

Like with Startin'/BTB... last year.

truehappiness · #**993** 18th October 2006, 03:01 AM

No.. that was because she needed it done by the time Onimusha was released..

Since Startin' and Born to Be.. could be recorded alongside rainy day anyway, they did that.

The next single will definitely not debut as early as Startin' did :|

immel · #**994** 18th October 2006, 03:04 AM

Ah, haha, would never have thought of Onimusha being the reason for that. True.

I'm expecting the next single in either January or February, I think she'll get started on the coming year pretty soon, the album release is so early.

truehappiness · #**995** 18th October 2006, 03:05 AM

I expect the new single to debut a little after the AT06-07 ends. [I bet it'll start in December or January >>]

This is because a mini album is a bit easier to plan a tour for.. I'd imagine..

immel · #**996** 18th October 2006, 03:11 AM

I think we would have had news about a tour already if it was scheduled for December, wasn't there notices about it, on the page, several months before it started, for AT06?

I think she'll end the tour towards the summer again, which means that it would start in march/april. I think we'd see another single before that.

Haha... there's endless ways to speculate about this.

truehappiness · #**997** 18th October 2006, 03:13 AM

AT03-04 started two weeks after the mini album dropped into Japanese stores though. ._.

I was talking about the announcements of the tour, AT0304 must have been known about long before the album release.

truehappiness · #**999** 18th October 2006, 03:22 AM

10/25 was when tour notices popped up.. ~__~

I do wonder though.. a month before..

Should we expect that NOW?! OMG

lotusoka · #**1000** 18th October 2006, 05:08 AM

Indeed, thank you.
