There's nothing in the Japanese post that says "New grounds" is the album title. I'd just chalk it up to a (really) awful English translation.

Yeah, it looks like a weird translation of '新境地' from the Japanese post.

Basically, it was intended to say that this album is treading on new ground for Ayu or something but instead somehow some quotes got added in and they made it seem like it was the album title.

Also the English message that followed is weirdly worded as well...

Quote:
The sage performance is adopting a leading edge tech for a new style.
This album was a favorite for many fans for a long time.

Everyone is very inpatient waiting for the album.

It is not only expected. It is very desired♡

Everyone who have read these rows, let's meet at the live shows and have a good time!

So, I will come again♡

ayu
The LINE translations used to be better.

Michael Jackson's 'Dangerous' has production that hasn't aged well at all (major New Jack Swing influence), but that doesn't take away from it being an amazing pop album. Great music is timeless. Stop being trend snobs!

Ayu does "dated" R&B very well (LOVE n HATE, In The Corner, Tell me why). I actually hope Darkchild goes for an early noughties R&B sound because I think it suits her well. Heavy bass and snare, plz!
When I saw Darkchild named as a producer, I looked at his recent production discography and unfortunately he's dabbled in non-r&b music over the past few years, so it's a possibly Ayu might get something electronic out of him, which make sense given the other producers she's working with.

After Ayu's last album and Pray, I don't think I can take any further cookie-cutter productions, so I'm glad she's moving to more experimental territory (well, at least for Ayu anyway).

I think I'll just be happy to find out that the title isn't "Feel the love". Preferably, I'd like the title not to have the word "love" in it at all. "LOVEppears", "Love songs", "LOVE", "LOVE again"... I think we're all kind of over it.

I'd love for a title with the word 'new' or some other variation of that.

Something with 'new' seems likeliest.

If it has love in it though, I think people might riot.

Tony, I think Hello new me might be cookie cutterish since it's the same production staff behind that song. However, it might be an outlier given the other songs' producers.

That's a very DREAMS COME TRUE-y title.

I do think that having LOVE again so soon after Love songs was a bit much. To have more love directly after might be bad. It's not like Ayu has the Kana Nishino pattern thing going on either so....

I really hope the album is filled with club banging dubstep and trance music to give the people that dislike remixes aneurysms.

lol There IS a difference between showing some skin/midriff and literally having no clothing on half your body, which is probably what that person was talking about.

Not that *I* mind personally but.

You should've posted the Party Queen covers.
I'd rather a repeat of those than the album be another "love" theme please

This is actually my exact problem with the dated production, though. It didn't matter in the past if the production was dated because the music still had a really distinct Ayu sound to it. (e.g. I've always loved the production on my name's WOMEN even though it was 6-7 years dated on release.) Ayu's music has always been Ayu's sound; that's what makes it special.

The problem is when she starts to make the production and using top-notch first-rate Western producers the selling point, and the music still turns out dated. If you're going to make the production the focal selling point, then the production has to be REALLY good and with the current trends.

I realize this hasn't really happened yet obviously, as the album isn't even out yet. But I DO worry that it will end up sounding like electropop circa 2008/2009, because I personally don't get the feeling she realizes EDM as a genre right now is basically a production game. It's not like other genres where the production can fall short/sound dated in favor of other factors; the production IS EDM's selling point. That's why producers like ZEDD, Avicii, etc. are so popular right now.

It's like going to the movies. If I went to see a drama film, then obviously there would be no reason to complain about poor CGI because CGI wouldn't be a drama film's selling point. But if I went to see a disaster film or sci-fi flick advertising the best producers!! and Michael Bay!! and Will Smith!! and the CGI was 5 years behind its time, that'd be reasonable grounds for complaint imo.

I don't know, I just don't think she "gets" that and thinks it's just popular because it is, and that's why I worry that the album's EDM attempts will/might fall short or sound dated.

^I would bet on Feel the love, too.

Very high chances this will be the album title, since she uses this title for her concerts, too!

To be honest, it will scream ultimate lazy if she reuses Feel the love for the album title.

But I don't really think she's going to. I think, more likely, she hasn't decided on an album title yet given the release is still 3 months away. The showcase tour obviously needed a title sooner, so they went with Feel the love since it's her latest release.
