new song recorded version LQ by Foyuki http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/vxUDCXPSgzA/
-posted by Foyuki, thought to be untitled for her... story 2, but Japanese fans think it may be SAKURA

(Was actually Gloria!!!)
Lyric snippet:
SAKURA(?)

花びらのように散る日々が
どれだけの歳月続いたの?
残った花びらはもう無い、、、

風が吹くたびに怯えた日々に
今は居心地さえいいの
当たり前の風景が好き、、、

---- different user provided the following - - - -

君の?? そんな強くはないね
だから一人になんてしないから

ここにある現実を この両腕に
いっぱいの愛強く抱きしめて
その目で見えた ??? 信じて
飛び出した感情だけが 尖ったままの言葉もある
けれど諦めないでね ほら明日のエールに変えて
そう明日へのエールに変えて


Tracklist + Special version goods
Spoiler:
From Misa-chan's blog:
Everything for this…

Chapter 4 of the 5-month consecutive release project running up to her 15th Anniversary debut is a much-anticipated original album! With songs from “LOVE” (8 Nov) and “again” (8 Dec) acting as prologues, 5 new songs are added to create a compilation of 15 tracks!

The new songs include works by Mr Hoshino Yasuhiko, Mr Tago Kunio, and Mr Nakano Yuuta, and every song is hailed as a uniquely “Hamasaki Ayumi” track that everyone craves. And with the addition of the popular 2012 tracks “You&Me” and “Song 4 u”, this album is complete with a single story and amazing quality!

For the videos, 7 video clips and 7 making clips make up a total of 14 tracks. This is the first time we’re having such an impressive line-up of video content, so one can see ayu in lots of different styles. Also, album videos are being released in Blu-ray form for the first time.

As for the limited edition, due to lots of requests from the fans, the factory had packed its schedule to produce “jacket cover photo ayupan figures”! Furthermore, rare items like a grand photobook filled with never-before-released photos will surely make this a precious collector’s item for fans!!

Moving towards her 15th Anniversary, ayu’s 14th original album is full of her charm. This is the answer.

全てはこのために...。
デビュー15周年を迎える2013年4月8日に向けてリリースを重ねてきた第4弾は、待望のオ リジナル・フ ルアルバム!
序章ともいえる11月8日発売『LOVE』、12月8日発売『again』収録曲に、書き下ろし新曲5曲ほ かを加えた全15曲を完全収録!
初収録となる新曲は、星野靖彦氏、多胡邦夫氏、中野雄太氏による楽曲で、誰もが待ち望んでいたこれぞ“浜崎 あゆみ”と言わんばかりの歌に仕上がっている。そこに、2012年に各方面で話題となった「Y ou & Me」「Song 4 u」といった楽曲が加わり、ひとつの物語として綴られた圧倒的なクオリティのアルバムが完成!
映像は、video clipとmaking clipそれぞれ7本ずつ計14本収録。圧巻のヴォリュームとともに初収録映像を多数含む充実の内容と なっ ており、様々なayuの姿を見ることができる。なお、アルバムの映像作品としては初となるBl u-ray形態でのリリースも決定。
また、数量限定生産盤では、かねてより多くのファンからリクエストがあったものの、製作工程ス ケジュールの 都合で叶わなかった“ジャケット写真イメージのayupanフィギュア”付きが遂に実現!さら に、未公開シ ョット満載の豪華フォトブック付きというレア化必至、ファン垂涎の超貴重盤!!
15周年イヤーを迎えるに相応しい、ayuの魅力が存分に詰まった渾身の14thオリジナル・フル アルバム 。答えはここにある。

- there are five versions of the album, CD+DVD+ayupan figure+PHOTOBOOK, CD+Blu-ray+ayupan figure+PHOTOBOOK, CD+DVD, CD+Blu-ray, and CD only
- the photobook is 24 pages long
- there are five new songs mentioned in this description (so there'll be two interludes?)
- the interludes on the album are task'n'bass and glasses
- Yuta Nakano, Kunio Tago, and Yasuhiko Hoshino composed some of the new songs (all?)
- the description also mentions a jacket photo Ayupan figure and a photobook as the CD+DVD+SPECIAL/CD+Blu-ray+SPECIAL items.
- Melody's PV consists of Ayu and the dancers, the PV is also similar to TO BE or Not yet from AT07 with the kaleidoscope effect and she is in black/white while the dancers are in red, shown during a LOVE again CM before CDL12-13's opening

Early information
Spoiler:

The information is now up on the official site!
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/disc...VCD-38705.html

第4弾はオリジナルフルアルバム新曲ばっかのフルアルバムですね今回は5パターンでの発売です

Seems that on TeamAyu, they have posted that a new original album is coming out and all of the songs are new (so nothing from LOVE or again? If they were going to be on this I think they'd be mentioned) and it'll have five versions.

I wonder if they took down the information early again like for LOVE?

It'll be 14 tracks (announced) with the following versions:
CD only
CD+DVD
CD+Blu-ray
CD+DVD+GOODS
CD+Blu-ray+GOODS

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-38705
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-38706
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-38707
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-38708
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-38709

First presses will include the serial number card for access to a special site when all five releases are out. Details are unknown.

Something tells me that none of the new songs will get PVs though. Do they usually say "bonus DVD" when it's a PV DVD? Looking back on other releases it also says bonus so hm.... I guess we'll see!

A screenshot from TeamAyu indicates that the DVD will have 14 clips on it and that the album will have 15 tracks. That's one more track than CDJapan announced.

This is pretty normal though, haha. The speculation tends to add up, but since there's so many releases in the last few months, it hasn't been as crazy. I mean, we'll be getting the album in less than a month already!

I CANT WAIT FOR IT
This album I'm actually waiting for the album to get shipped to my house before I listen to any of the new songs
And I'm going to avoid reviews until I hear them for the first time
This way it'll hype me so much

It is kind of surprising that there are no more PVs.

I wonder if they will be featured on the next release? I know that seems unlikely, but it seems possible. It sounds like an Avex inspired marketing scheme. xD

^ I wish but that would have no sense. Where would they put them? PV's on new album from another album? If so, it would be maybe only ONE pv on new single/mini album(that look like single) like they did with my name's WOMEN (from album to next STEP you single) But I don't think that will happen.

Only chance is to put extra on this album as a surprise/last minute changes (like Missing was switched with Melody). But the chance is very low

They'd find a way to put them out there somehow, haha. This would be the first time that no new album tracks got PVs though in a LONG time.

No posters or folders for those who preorder at hmv, cdjapan or similar? Such lovely pics deserve a poster so much... Way more than RnRC covers...

That's exactly what I thought! The blu-ray edition's cover is nice but the PB's is better... Not buying 2 versions though lol.
So glad I bought the limited blu-ray edition right after the album was announced for once lol.

I'm not dreading this release, but I'm not mega excited about it either, just sort of... still not really getting my hopes up... oh dear what's wrong with me, eh? Everyone else seems to have got over the initial furore and settled back down into happy anticipation... For some reason I just don't feel the same...

Snap out of it, girl!
