Hm...my guess is that Sorrows is more like fated or HOPE or PAIN in that it's not a very fierce rock track like WARNING or is this LOVE? - which is perfectly fine with me.

Don't think it's a matter of expensiveness, i'd rather say that when they announced the upcoming release a long time ago, Ayu herself didn't even know what she was going to do, songs weren't written back then except Step by Step. She probably had in mind to have a summer upbeat track made by RedOne but in the end changed her mind, dunno why.

Sounds unlikely that they'd announce anything just because Ayu has it in minde, doesn't it? Official statements are probably only released after contracts have been signed or whatnots, I imagine.
I'm eager to hear the 3 other songs, I'm ok with ballads since A ONE, since Ayu proved me she still had that ballad talent, and Sorrows got me really excited with those lyrics!

^But I also doubt that it was a money issue. I'm sure it was a creative issue. I just hope she uses RedOne once more in the future!

I would prefer uptempo rock track (sth like Love song - I don't really think it will be something aggresive as WARNING/Microphone/is this LOVE?) but the lyrics fits sth like Last links/call/MY ALL/Letter... which is also rock, so it could be anything. Maybe something around It was/(miss)understood?

I don't really think it's a fated type, I guess people would call that song type a ballad. It does have guitar elements but still fated is closer to MOON/Missing emotional ballad track than something you could call "rock".

I'm sure it's the guitar but fated, to be, is an emotional (half)rock ballad. For some reason I only get mid-tempo ballad from MOON and Missing.

I wouldn't mind something quiet during the verses, and then exploding during the chorus, like Free & Easy or HANABI ~episode II~.

Sorrows is a rock track? It seems interesting

Anna Tsuchiya's is Shape of your love not Shape of love so they are not the same name.

Although I'm disappointed we put all our eggs in one basket with that previous cd description that caused us to assume that the cd was going to be all upbeat, one ballad among five other songs is really good for the ballad. With A ONE there were so many ballads that a lot of them blurred with each other but with this mini album that probably won't happen. It'll have it's own character, stand up on two legs and be unique. Hopefully.

^Exactly, I don't mind that at all. Hopefully it's not another predictable, typical ballad like beloved.

Last links, call, and Letter are actually rock tracks. MY ALL, I think, would be filed under disco- or teen-pop. But the others are actually pop-rock. I also have to say that fated and MOON are pop-rock.

I would love something like Free&Easy or HANABI ~episode II~ again, something with big power, epic, not so smooth like her recent songs. I'd love to hear something like what we heard back on I am... / RAINBOW. But I'm not sure if, based on the last 10 years, we'll ever get songs like those again. We can always dream though, right?

Also, totally just dawned on me, but I wonder if the speedy release of sixxxxxx means we won't get a new album next year? Ayu usually pushes out back-to-back releases like this when she doesn't make plans to release a new album for over a year... I know it's a mini-, but this is still only three or four songs from being a full album.

If the "A" standed for Ayumi I think they'd have used her logo, like in A BEST and A BALLADS, right?

Probably she removed the RedOne track cause its title didn't start with S

lol jk I guess she started writing the songs and maybe she found a pattern or storyline between the songs but the RedOne track did not fit it, so she saved it up for later. As truehappiness said, it was too early to properly announce the mini contents, things were still on beginning and specially when working with arts things can change in the middle of the process

^I don't understand your post at all. lol

And yes, the waiting is boring. I've played that summer diary rip that ends before the end chorus soooo many times.
