I think you all need to realize that it's also partially Avex's decision on what goes onto the final cut of the album. Ayu just finished an album, she's planning AT09, she's filming PVs, and she's just traveled halfway around the world to do a lot of this.

Seriously. It seems like it takes a lot for Ayu to please a lot of you. Just be happy we actually have new material this year, after all the activities she did and all the problems she went through in 2008.

Canceling is the dumbest move ever.
If you analyze this, it isn't THAT bad. The amount of new songs we are getting is good - what sucks is that I was expecting more and would like more.

BUT:

Guilty = 5 new songs + Together When... + Mirror
Secret = 7 new songs + Not yet

NEXT LEVEL = 6 new songs + Rule + Sparkle + Bridge To The Sky

The way I see it, Rule/Sparkle is still relatively new. 8 new songs. That beats both Guilty and Secret. If you don't count Rule/Sparkle as new songs, then that is 6 new songs. One less than Secret which had a few duds (the title track 'Secret' was junk). These songs could all turn out to be amazing and it would surpass the quality of the last two albums.

I also wonder if the tracklist was 16 instead of 14, including Mirrorcle and Life - if people would like it better. I know I would - but that doesn't make much sense does it? Lol.

well I'll be lying if I say I'm not disappointed. 4 interludes is definitely a lot for a 14 track album. I was hoping ayu would stop putting 4 after GUILTY and I was looking forward to disco-munication as a full track. Sigh...hopfully bridge to the sky has some lyrics.

Earth to people who are shocked cuz there are 4 interludes ~ "Have you counted the ones on GUILTY?". I really don't see what's the big deal here, did someone actually think that Ayu would really sing to Disco-munication or Load of the SHUGYO? I don't remember anyone complained about the GUILTY ones. And please stop judging the album before we actually get the chance to hear it.

i dont know why people are soo mad...or disappointed....

Do you like her concerts?
Do you like how the concerts flow?
Do you buy the concerts dvds??

If so, then its because you like them ~
and its because of the interludes that allow them to be like that~ so..i dont see how people can cancel orders and start " hatin' ". The interludes are what make you want to support her when you really think about it~ you may not see it.....but....if she were to take out all the interludes ......there would be no time for changes in outfits during concerts, or nice transitions. Therefore, you would see her in one outfit.......for 2-3 hours..^^...~

It's my opinion, and im not saying you should agree. I just wanted to clear that outta my system~ X_X!

4? I really like some of her interludes, but I'd much rather have full new songs.

Unfortunately, some of us don't like the quantity OR the quality of GUILTY. >> I still think GUILTY was one of her weakest albums, and the shortness of it just KILLED IT, so this REALLY worries me for NEXT LEVEL.
I agreed Memorial Address is an amazing album and have just 8 songs ^^'

Anyway I don't get why people cancelling the order lol
I was expected a lot of songs and few interludes.. but I still want to buy NEXT LEVEL O_o'

I actually prefer a 10 tracks, 4 interludes album to a 10 tracks 2 interludes or 3 interludes album, i really love some of her interludes and they are great in concerts and for the albums flow...and with the genres found on NEXT LEVEL(probably) it just NEEDS many interludes to work! if you dislike them, just skip them! Im OK with a 10 track album + interludes album, I know ayu can make great songs and on her long albums there always were just plain bad songs included! I want another GUILTY, not many songs, but many amazing songs and interludes that REALLY fit!(you cant tell me theres an interlude not needed expect maybe reBIRTH on the album!)

OMG... XDD sorry but i think some of your comments are ridiculous.. is like this was the first time ayu put a lot of interludes... and, moreover, we all expected at least 3 interludes, being bridge to the sky an intro... Hey, just delate 2 interludes and you'll have an album of 12 track long, 10 full songs, 1 intro and 1 interludes... Think that first they announced it was a 13 track album... maybe they added a full song... or maybe they added an interlude... who knows... but to add an interlude leave the full songs in the same quantity of 6...

and... GUILTY had only 5 full songs and the same amount of interludes and I don't know if people got disapointed like now, secret had 7 new track though JEWEL was known since october... (miss)understtod had also only 6 new songs, memorial address only 2 of 8, I am had 5 new songs plus the secret one, Duty 6 new songs, in Lppears 7...

except asfxx and MY STORY that have 9-10 new songs the rest of albums go around the same numbre 5-6-7 new songs... is not the first time we have only 6 new tracks... but past years ayu made more releases in one year and what now are interludes, before were songs she released through the year... put in the place of discomunication and piece of seven MW and Life and that's all XD


well... this is my opinion... XDD some of you are exaggerating about cancelling orders and so... really...

4 interludes = slightly dissapointing. But holy crap it's Ayu. Has she ever really, and I mean really dissapointed us?

Cancelling orders because of 1 or 2 extra interlude is just a dumb act upon angry impulse. For all we know, this album might be AMAZING. Why let it go because of an extra interlude? I don't get you guys, who cancelled. Geez.

I can't wait for this album! I'm über excited about posting a review of it on my blog.

Hello you, first time to see you in here XD xD Days was dissapointing, as you said it was amazing (;D), but well then, GREEN was amazing instead. No, this can't be bad!

While you and I always (well, often) disagree because our "Ayu song taste" is so different from one anothers, we often agree on the quality of an album ^^ Singles are a different matter, really

(Haha, du har bare ikke kigget nok efter mig, jeg har skrevet lidt her og der herinde...)
