The fact that it's supposed to be out there and nobody listened to it or she didn't use it in her insta (plus the weird tiltles that make EGG seem bland) makes me think it's just a joke. Or at least I hope it is.

I'd love to know how you got that from my message? Literally never said anyone had to like anything, I was just pointing out that you said her recent songs felt recycled while praising a single for making you think of a previous release. I'm sure you can appreciate why that sounds weird?


I'm really not too keen on Remember you as a title, I hope it's not the album's! I feel that it's fairly common for CDLs to have their own titles though (Future classics, Promised land, ...) so hopefully its just the concert's name!

It's not her

First one is Big Bang's song remixed, the others are same type of sound, can't guess the songs.

Hope we will have a title and a date soon !

This might take a bit longer. In her latest TA blog entry, ayu confirmed her recent Instagram post about having writer's block. Due to some life circumstances, she doesn't seem to be in the best place right now and she is even thinking about redoing the songs that were prepared because they don't feel quite right.
I'm glad she isn't rushing it, I can wait knowing she is working on the album.

[Aderianu]

Ayu better to release something she's been confident in, without the hurry just because she promised to drop album at the autumn.

Maybe she knows that I don't have free money right now and can't buy it? XD Wait, ayu, wait.

This!! I don't mind her taking time to work on this record if it ensures that the final product will be of top quality! And we're already getting fed this month with the release of Mask so i'm really looking forward to that

The release of this album has been postponed to the January 2023

WE KNEW IT. WE KNEW IT. WE KNEW IT.

With Ayu, I'm not surprised anymore...

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I mean this in the nicest way possible but… girl has 3? Years to make an album and again waits until 2 months before lol

Not surprised, I just find it funny

In any case, at least we’ll have a song to hold us over

[rian_hamasaki]

Yeah, i hope for a great album =)

If Ayu add dark tones to this album that would be even better, as for me

[summerain]

I'm glad she's not rushing things. She doesn't need to hurry anything at this point of her life.

Ayu's staff has said that they're now aiming for January 2023, but it sounded more like the next goalpost than something definite. No specific date has been confirmed either.
From the looks of Ayu's recent posts, she's still working/reworking the material she has and so it's hard to confirm how long that part of the process will take.

Just record HANABI episode III already

[Zeke.]

How much would it suck if after this push back, or possibly several more? The album was super short and lacked quality? I’m looking forward to it, though pushbacks heighten expectation and this increase risk of disappointment. Dying to hear Mask.
