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

[truehappiness]

Nee kimi wa tashika ni.

[zellyx]

ANOTHER album?
what???

Wow, Ayu has been SO active in music lately.

[asagarichan]

Omg! Great news!

[Bigtop]

Whoa, new mini-album?

We know we have 'Step by step', which has got to be released soon, but at first I thought we would have a single, not something like a mini-album...

I mean, I didn't expect that to happen. I expected a new single.

And August 5th? Seriously? It's only April 12th! We've got FOUR MONTHS to wait!!!

Anyways, that's still good news. We're glad Ayu's still making music after over 17 years of continuous service. Hopefully this mini-album will be a good one as well! (Although we should no longer think about the charts anymore, since recently Ayu has been unable to get the #1 spot on the Oricon charts, even on the albums...)

I'm going to laugh my ass off if we get another single between now and August. That is pretty far out to be announcing a mini-album with nothing but a handful of tour dates between now and then.

And this is why I LOVE ayu... 3 days after releasing a new album, she announces a new mini album to be released in 4 months, XD

She is so workaholic I just can't stop loving her.

Wa there goes my purse

[jyujiw]

This girl is on fire. hahaha

[aliceshields]

May be the mini name NEXT FIVE... XD

Why announce it on the week of your albums release? She/They could have waited a few months, like in June or something. This is just distracting for A ONE.

Because the drama that Step by step is being used for premieres this week, and now when people see the song and go try to buy it they'll be like, "Oh! It's on a mini-album!"

[Earth_maiden]

I'm already impressed with the preview for Step by step, so I'm excited for the mini album already. Good job, Ayu!

LOVE ALONE

i would laught my a** off

and for ANGEL SONG part II, I wouldn't mind that track. I don't like it, but she haven't done "cute" song since Party Queen (and it wasn't even similar to sum of her like HONEY)

buuuuut... we already have Step by step, which is summery medium song, and besides RedOne track (which I think It will be bummer) it will look like "cute pop song" "cute pop song" "redonetrack" "ballad" "ballad" propably.

and yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh, I would love a BALLAD LIKE FORGIVENESS.

[yamadashun]

i like the theory that this mini album will fill up the missing letter(s) for A ONE.

if it is T then the message will be "ATONE" but is it a frequently used term in English?

[Delicious n Bold]

^ it's like wondering if 'mildew' and 'strep throat' are commonly used words in English lol. Nevertheless ATONE is poetic. Although the message she's trying to convey is poorly executed.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Maybe it'll be S.

S for summer, S for "as one", lol.

[Delicious n Bold]

A H & L L?
A H & L S? (Love songs)?

[owlflight]

Makes some sense to announce this during the tour even if A ONE just came out. The release is already being promoted to her fan base and she might introduce new songs towards the final dates. I'm definitely excited to get more information!

[Isicio]

I expect a normal title, I don't want L O P Q R S T U

[Embleu]

She's going to surprise us all and have two country songs (complete w/ moonshine and pickup trucks and name-dropping some redneck state) and an Irish jig.

I love Angel's Song, btw. It was the first song of hers I ever heard, and I fell in love immediately. Then I saw the video and became a fan for life.
