Yes, this is it. I don't want to get previous record in new cover if I already have it.

I love the performance ASFXX from 15th anniversary or from Arena Tour 2015

Well, MADE IN JAPAN was a bit of a hint as was Rock'n'Roll Circus, haha. I'm curious just what it will apply to though. A mini? Full album? Compilation since it's been 10 years since A BEST 2?

[EndOfTheWorld]

Maybe we will get A Ballads 2.
I think I would like that more than A Best 3.

Yess.
It's been over 10 years since A Ballads, we need a new one.
But we definitely are going to see some kind of compilation. I'm just not sure what the concept will be.
I am sure that whatever it is, there will be multiple editions that are way overpriced.

I would laugh sooo hard...

[Anna.L]

So this could be like 2016 in koda carreer? No album, some songs, 2, and then next year a big thing?

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I'd be cool with some singles.

With VR technology, the next album will have A SPECIAL VR GLASSES to experience new VR PV! Closest experience with ayu!


It will cost USD2000!




Be ready for an expensive loan.. XD

[CeReSu]

I would like an album with new songs, something to fit "just the beginning"
sort of a new era
It would be great and refreshing than the eternal best !

[dreamalley]

I hope she doesn't release any new material this year nor the next.

I wish she'd focus on performing lesser known songs. Songs that she rarely performed live before.

But if she had to release something, then I wish it'd be a complete revamp of her songs. And I mean with new vocals. Turning ballads into rock songs and upbeat songs into ballads. With good MVs matching the new concepts.

A perfect example of this would be what Utada did with "Distance":

Why on earth would you want 2 years without a new release?

Oh please, as if it's unheard of for any band or artist to make fans wait that long between albums. There's a reason for it.

I think if Ayu actually took some time to make an album, rather than just spitting one out to meet a deadline, I think we'd get a phenomenal album as a result. Not something that feels rushed or disjointed.
