OMG
Another Memorial Address?

That is the way too hurry to release an album.

1LOVE
JEWEL
BLUE BIRD
Beautiful Fighters
Startin'
Born to be...

Why can't have a regular album in next year summer time instead?...

[Kikaru]

^Because Avex is wierd and money-greedy like that?

But another mini-album wouldn't be too bad. I just hope it would have a nice cover.

I doubt this album will have more than 2 new songs.... expect the songs I have list above..

I think is a bad choice... but I hope it will be good enough ._.

If the new album is like Memorial address that with different style of songs, it would be not bad....
*sigh*

[~X2RADialbomber~]

Mini-album? God no x.x

I wonder if she'll have a tour with this minialbum lol

[Echiko]

Honestly, I wouldn't mind a mini-album if it was like Memorial Address... The songs were good...but like..I just don't think this album has good tracks. :/

I think 1LOVE will be good.

[Calico]

Hmmm...interesting. But so far it's only one source. So I guess we'll see what happens.

[SunshineSlayer]

I could pretty much see this coming I think. This is what happens when people want an album in such short periods of time. Personally I'm almost glad it will be a mini album, instead of a full album full of mediocre tracks because there wasn't enough time to make some truly great stuff before the end of the year.

That is, assuming it is official of course.

[LacusClyne]

mini???? these current songs are too weak, compare to Memorial Address.....unless JEWEL and 1LOVe turns out to be SUPER strong

[syntherella]

Thanks for the news! I thought Ayu's eye infection only affected her abilities to perform live and promote singles. If her recordings were affected to the extent there is not enough material for a full-length album then her condition is worse than I am aware of. Go Ayu! Still looking forward to new songs by Ayu.

I was first a little shocked, but after about 20 seconds, it kind of feels right. I mean, it's not as far away from Memorial address as I would have liked, but the past two albums have been big. Plus, her material recently has been scraps, really, more than tracks to a united album. I think they're better suited to a mini album; then she can start fresh with new material for the next album. At this rate, I kind of just want to get the recent stuff over with, and on to something stronger. In which case, I am content with a mini album.

It is surprisingly soon, though. We were all expecting news of a new single soon, and suddenly we have an album with a little over a month. How much promo-time do Ayu's albums normally get? I guess I don't pay attention much...

Yep, exactly what I think.

It also means that I will definitely want to go to the next Arena tour again, because I would bet this time it is going to be more of a mixture of her old hits w/ new stuff than the past 2 tours have been and I want to hear a lot of the old stuff live.

Hm...... for the sake of the mini-album's sales, I hope the next single is ONY Jewel so 1LOVE can be saved for the mini-album, or vice versa.

I hope the cover is as good as Memorial Address, which had my favourite Ayu cover ever.

I think that it might be because the two singles released so far weren't that great compared to previous singles, and hence Avex/Ayu didn't want to drag down the quality of a whole full length album, and release a mini-album instead.

I HOPE there is a tour for it, although a whole single (Startin'/Born To Be...) was already in AT06. But I hope so all the same, heck I've been strongly considering for a Japan trip in 2007 and I don't want to be disappointed. >_<

[LacusClyne]

oh wait......this reminds me of (m)u.....

see, the single and the album's release dates are too close and the album date is annouce before the single.....oh noooo......i think i might see another B&D sales.

unless! JEWEL and 1 LOVE will not be release in a single, but just the album.

[*hearT_Place*]

On one hand, I do agree that this album does not seem to have good tracks like Memorial Address did, but, maybe for that reason I also agree with evolusean in that they are better suited to a mini album. Hopefully she can then start fresh with stronger tracks.

[ImpactBreaker]

Disappointment...I'd rather have another album with zillion tracks...the more ayu tracks the better for me

[s1012h]

awwwww
oh well hopefully there'll be at least 3 new songs, including 1LOVE and JEWEL
and the cover's amazing
then i'll buy it
hopefully she'll make another great single after the mini album comes out
