Since AHS is down a lot, here's the link to the first four songs from "again." It's a nice little preview. Thanks to Kimia for the suggestion!

Sorry for the lack of updates! I've been busy preparing for the holidays!

again covers:

Textless:

Tracklisting and information:

The mini album consists of a rock track, a sad yet uplifting track, a ballad sung with a 'big voice' (they use 'one main vocal' in the description), and a medium ballad that will speak to the listener. This release will also truly show off Ayu's creativity.

- not that it isn't really obvious, but for now, it's probably safe to assume that they list off the descriptions in the order that the tracklist is in so...

Wake me up - rock track

Sweet scar - sad yet uplifting

snowy kiss - ballad

Ivy - medium ballad

Wake me up / snowy kiss - directed by Masashi Muto

Hamasaki Ayumi has revealed the jacket covers for her upcoming mini-album, “LOVE“!

In the jacket covers, Hamasaki shows off her natural beauty, wearing no makeup. While she has eyelash extensions on, she doesn’t even wear foundation in these photos.

Hamasaki decided to use these photos for her latest jacket covers after having a no makeup photo shoot for the magazine ‘Numero UNO‘. She commented, “It was the first time I’ve done this, so it was very fresh. It’s an image different from before, so it would make me happy if everyone will be pleased with it.”

“LOVE” will be released on November 8 in 3 different versions.

Ayu's site has been updated with the LOVE covers - which means Ayu's Story has been updated as well! I hope you enjoy both :)

Early this morning we got our first look at the covers for LOVE through a promotional flyer! I'm guessing this was outside the concert venue, as goers were able to pre-order the album there and receive a free poster too. Anyway, here they are!
