New Mini Album "Five" Coming Up!
With no CD single released this year to date, it is rather unsurprising to be informed officially that Ayu is going to release a new 5-track mini album "Five" this 31st August! Despite the title itself which seems to be lacking of creativity, its production is backed by some notable artists in the music industry as briefed on the official site, thus labelled as a deluxe mini album there (translation by Misa-chan as below). It is noteworthy to mention that the much anticipated "Tales of Xillia" theme song "Progress" will be part of this mini album.
| 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!! |
There will be three versions of this mini album with their difference described as follows.
