i'm so excited! this is the first original studio album being A SOMETHING thank god it's only one and half month to release date

[spanishfan]

^we had A song for XX, even that it could make sense without the meaning A-Ayumi

[pepper]

I hope we will get tracklist (plus genre hints) in this month <3
I don't listen to previews since FIVE so I won't be listening this time too XD

Cover will be revelead in the last days of march I think.

[TeamAyu2004]

heres to some goodness coming back!

[truehappiness]

We could get radio rips in March, I think.. and Last minute PV preview around then too.

now I'm mostly curious about the titles I love when people puts their ideas of genres but I think we will get genre hints just like Zutto single, amirite?

and curious for covers ofcourse, but if they will be tragic, I won't be dissapointed, visuals are the last thing I care about.

[truehappiness]

Judging from what they have done lately, I think the visual team is basically Ayu and Photoshop. Not too much different from before but still. I feel like they have an intern do it all lately which is a no no.

We will probably get some sort of early TeamAyu demo or mu-mo online rip dealio with song descriptions.

I really liked her last TA entry when she speaks about how "she rediscovering herself after having started to forget who she was a little..." =)

[truehappiness]

Sounds like perfect material for new songs!

I think it was obvious that she was getting a little lost... personally, even though I like the material she put out during the time periods, she was probably struggling to 'find herself' in 2012-2013. And Colours in 2014 was her way of shaking everything off by just doing whatever she wanted. This release could be the 'Love songs' for this era of Ayu IMO.

I like the title A ONE, but 11 tracks...so no interludes that's not right, they complete the albums somehow

Interesting.

Also, nowhere has it been mentioned that there will be no interludes. So I wouldn't bet on that just yet. There very well could be at least two of them, bringing the total of new pieces down to 6.

I also miss her interludes. She is really the only artist who I feel has interludes that fit as part of the album. But if it is at the expense of new tracks, I can live without them.

[Delicious n Bold]

Disappointed that she included all of zutto's songs. I wish one song stayed as a b-side to make the single more desirable. But whatever, I hope the album sleighs.

when was last time she skip single songs for album release? xD
she released You & Me twice and added mini album songs into full album

[Coelacanth]

There will likely be interludes.

It's really not clear when the sessions for this album began, but if they indeed started right after CDL, I'd be stunned if her and her staff wrote, arranged, and recorded 8 new full songs in a little over a month.

[spanishfan]

^I think recording started short after CDL, so she probably had some songs writed and with melodies chosen. But I also think there will be at least one introduction, probably one interlude too.

[Zeke.]

Isn't it a bit early to have finished all vocal recordings? Isn't she usually wrapping things up until 5-6 weeks out? Or no? I guess there are really only about 7 weeks until release as it is.

[pepper]

^ she could have some songs earlier than CDL.... She doesn't have to tell all about her recording :v
