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.

Date: 2011-07-05 05:04 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-07-05 05:03 am (UTC)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.
