A release that will inevitably become the hot topic of this summer: A medium number featuring Junsu’s brother JUNO in 「Why…」, A much-anticipated ballad 「beloved」 by Mr Hoshino Yasuhiko, The much acclaimed theme song 「progress」 for PS3 game “Tales of Xillia”, A medium ballad with sad resonating lyrics 「ANother song」 featuring AAA’s Urata Naoya, and a mysterious impressionistic 「BRILLANTE」! The DVD contains PVs and making-of clips for all 5 songs, to make up a total of 10 tracks in this super grand mini-album!!

In addition, the CD version AVCD-38327 contains a bonus track: 「beloved」’s orchestra version. Furthermore, the other CD version AVCD-38328 is a total collaboration with “Tales of Xillia”, and of limited press!

I see your new marketing strategy Avex. Use your popular artists to promote your new ones.
The release date of JUNO's first single changed to the same date as Ayu's Mini Album.

Woooooah Ayu hasn't had had a min-album since 2003.

I might have to listen to this one, though I am already pre-disposed to thinking that it won't be as great as Memorial Address (my 2nd fave Ayu album ever).

I'm sure it isn't going to top Memorial address.

Yeah, she's got a different sound now in both voice and music. I loved everything about Memorial address but especially the title track. I always consider it the last 'old Ayu' album even though MY STORY was bloody fantastic too. Still wondering why it was titled 'Ma (take 2 version)'…

I'm hoping the mini-album means she'll be taking time out for rest and creative development. It's way overdue.

It was titled Memorial address ~take 2 version~ because it was a cover song. The original song was LOVER SOUND TRACK by Kumo

From: [identity profile] hibohabu.livejournal.com
Wow, I guess I've been misunderstand it all along. I got the part about Yukumi Tetsuya reworking the melody but always thought Ayu recorded it a few ways before ultimately choosing the second session for the album. Thanks for the info!

From: [identity profile] terragloriosa.livejournal.com
I did a little research after replying yours and I was mistaken lol
You were right about the song recorded as the second take and she did it live with the band but the song is also a cover for LOVER SOUND TRACK's Kumo :D So it kinda blend together.

From: [identity profile] hibohabu.livejournal.com
That was fast! Thanks for looking it up. I'm just curious about what set the second take apart from the others enough for her to refer to it in the title itself, kind of like what she did for 'A Song for ××' off A BALLADS. I'm so used to her doing everything for a reason.

I'm not too hyped about FIVE, but Love songs turned out to be much better than I thought it would so I'm still hopeful.

The same with me here about FIVE. I was excited for a new release but I kinda have mixed feelings.

I haven't listened to Ayu since Sunrise. Recommend me some good recent songs from her? I want to get back into liking her.

crossroad was her last good song, the last album "love songs" is nice too

Date: 2011-07-04 09:51 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] my-car-is-prada.livejournal.com
Thanks! I will listen to it.
Nothing has the same epic feel to her pre-2004 era though.

From: [identity profile] midnitexsonata.livejournal.com
I thought Love Song was pretty epic, it was my addiction song for awhile.
Love Songs was solid too, the album songs were definitely better than her singles…to my relief.

Didn't care too much for her singles lately though. crossroad bored me.
