It's not any song of hers (that we've heard), it might not even be lyrics. ZIN references this song by THE BLUE HERB at the end but I don't think the words are from there either. Japanese-proficient members over on the discord say it might just be him being in his feelings.

We are 8 days away from the release. Is there any promo going on in japan? Any CM (if this is still a thing) or etc?

I totally forgot Shape of Love ! I love it so much

[dumbellz]

She posted super excited for today. I hope it’s some good music news for us ahhahaah

Do you guys think she will release the album earlier digitally? Both TROUBLE and LOVEppears 20th Anniversary were iirc.

MADE IN JAPAN was also released earlier on AWA, right? I wouldn't mind an early digital release.

I hope that IG story means she plans on releasing something new soon. It's been too long since we got a studio album. It's good to see she's excited.

It´s like with original A Ballads, inner cover

[Aderianu]

Can't wait to see pictures of actual packaging

[Earth_maiden]

Do mumo/team ayu usually charge your card when they send it? I don't remember if they do it straight away or not... ^_^;;

[Aderianu]

They charged my card one or two weeks ago, don't remember when exactly, but it was early

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

They charged me around that time as well I was surprised lol

[Aderianu]

Both limited 2CD+2DVD and 2CD+2BD are sold out at mu-mo

I wonder if they are from two cards shown at picture with LE packaging or ayu with roses

I am pretty sure it are the ones on the cards

[Earth_maiden]

They did a pre-authorization on my card around 2-3 weeks ago as well but it's disappeared, so I haven't actually been charged yet. Just wondering if they'll charge me on the 8th or later on.

same here, mu-mo is so starnge sometimes with credit card charges xD sometimes they also tell me they don´t accept my card and I have to use Paypal, and the next time it works again

Does anyone know if the album should be in stores from tomorrow or will it be for sale in stores from April 8th (Thursday) because of the special date?

I'm considering to go to Shibuya tomorrow to check if there are any advertisements around the station (probably not ) or at least to see if they put something in TSUTAYA.

[Deep snow]

so, no TV commercials or any ad whatsoever for this...?
