New album (January 2023)

[Toniayu123]

^omg you’re right. Don’t get my hopes too high for a rockish badass album lol

[love in music]

I'm hoping this is early autumn lol. I feel so impatient.
I'm also always hoping for ayu rock songs above all, but am open to whatever directions she goes so long as there's not too much baby voice.

2nd October is nice date, but it's Sunday, so maybe 5th instead

[AyuGAME]

I want her to work with a new composer again, not only a new composer but also a new arranger who is more in line with current jpop trends.
I dreamed that she will be working with Hiroyuki Sawano one day

She did an amazing job on rapping as well, I would love to hear her rapping again and make more experimental song

[AyuCanada]

A Ballads 2 is actually a more closer release to A summer Best than A Ballads, so I can totally see Haru Yo being on the new album.

I feel this album will be similliar to "A One" in terms of being a bit all over the place going from different styles from different years. I doubt it will be as good as A one though. I like the new songs but nothing stunned me like Zutto/Last Minute/Walk... so far.

For some reason, I have a feeling/high hopes that this album would be more than 10 tracks. Best if she could have more music videos though someone mentioned it is unlikely for companies to invest to much on albums due to digital purchase

I don’t think it’s stupid otherwise avex wouldn’t be pumping up all the additional video content that they keep recycling. They also earn munnies off Youtube and those views!

A BASSADS 2 is basically Avex money grabbing plan for the pandemic. Many artists release BEST albums because avex cant make money from tours/live and they have big debt issue.

I believe if they could release another BEST album for Namie at that time, they would f*cking do.

Am i the only one who stopped caring about the format she's releasing and is just glad we're getting new stuff? I just want new music lol I need more rock tracks from her.

Ayu wrote on TA
"わたしの今年のGWは夏曲創り！" so if my google translate and others are right she is making summer music ^^

[Aderianu]

It feels like good old days

[Toniayu123]

She’s back for real. Can’t believe it

[Katsuyuki012]

My prayers for a new Ayu summer song have been heard.

[summerain]

she's going to take advantage of the long holiday to make a new song
that's my gurl

[dumbellz]

Omg make it a summer single!!!! Need a new beach mv!

[Insanes]

I just hope Nakano won't be invited. This guy ruins every song he composes with his bells.

Can't wait to have more concrete infos about the tracklist and stuff. I love the hype before the release, all the speculation around it, cover, length etc.

I know I'll be disappointed I just don't know for what atm. Can't wait.

Please Ayu, don't fill the album with songs that are already on a BEST or else album.

Colours was the perfect format.

Please don’t be edm please don’t be edm please don’t be edm.
