[News] New mini album 'sixxxxxx' out August 5th, 2015 V

[truehappiness]

Well, it's sort of representative of the album being a new start for her, so "A" as in Ayu, and starting from "square one" kind of. It's not really intended to be read like "a title", but it's more like a shorthand way of saying A NEW BEGINNING.

She did say there was a missing letter though as well, and she did an interview which pretty much confirmed that it was "ALONE".

If the "A" standed for Ayumi I think they'd have used her logo, like in A BEST and A BALLADS, right?

Oh, OK. I knew and completely forgot about that one, I was SO CONFUSED that she apparently suddenly had this song I didn't remember existing lmao

We should see impressions soon for the sixxxxxx listening parties! Two sessions have already finished. Or perhaps the 2nd one is going to wrap up soon...

OMG LOL!

We have word.

Sorrows is rock.
Shape of love is a ballad.
Sky high is one of those uptempo tracks. (person said age kyoku, so probably from original vision)

I wonder if Sorrows and Shape of love were where she was like "Ok, I have to change the concept now." and go in her usual direction.

They hosted it at an outdoor-ish venue, it looks like.

It's nice to know Sorrows is rock and not a ballad with those emotional lyrics. I do hope it is not like Last minute and Memorial address though. And it seems like Shape of love is going to be more like Anna Tsuchiya's song of the same name instead of Miliyah's.

And I really wonder why she changed her mind of the direction. Do you think she was recording songs for a future release, heard these tracks, and wanted them for sixxxxxx? Maybe we will get the upbeat songs at a later time.

Anna Tsuchiya's is Shape of your love not Shape of love so they are not the same name.

I think she may have just been too early in the recording process to say anything, but they included stuff anyway like that RedOne track which is probably sealed away for who knows how long. This is probably why it's better to be more vague about the release at first since it could change quite a bit when they actually start work on it.

EXCITED!! one more rock track
hope we get more information and first-impression ratings

edit: I actually love that poster so much.

[tenshi no hane]

Rock!

Thanks for the info, truehappiness

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Truehappiness, could you explain what you meant with

Sky high is one of those uptempo tracks. (person said age kyoku, so probably from original vision)?

Thank you so much for the information btw!

[truehappiness]

Originally, this mini was supposed to have 5 tracks and they were all supposed to be upbeat tracks (think MY ALL, BLUE BIRD, etc. that kind of thing) with Step by step and a RedOne produced dance track but they switched gears when she actually started to make the album.

[LONJJONG]

Damn it, that poster!

I'm looking forward for the rock track!

[pepper]

I hope Sky high isn't similar to Step by step (or any Fairyland/glitter/BLUE BIRD/blossom thingy)

I hope it's maybe close to NO FUTURE <3 it would match Fly high xD

Glad Sorrows it's rock, I don't have any hopes for Shapes of Love, it will be propably "another ballad with big amout of bells" I wish she could make something like forgiveness

^ Still waiting for the day you'll stop ranting about how you hate her ballads in at least one of your posts.

it's really something like FIVE, except FIVE was more.. "slow tempo" album.
Tbh the covers for sixxxxxx matches FIVE more and FIVE matches sixxxxxx more ;x

I wouldn't mind if she released another song with bells, I love them and can never have enough haha
