Ayu to drop 6 mini albums between now and April. Flat out refuses to take any form of seat.

To celebrate her 15 year anniversary, Ayu will be releasing a mini album every month between November and April. Ayu tried to take a seat, but Kumi's sitting in that shit with her child, so she  has to keep pushing out music to remain relevant; after her last 2 releases failed to set anything on fire but the bridge between her current self and her former self who was able to sail in at number 1 with ease.

The tracklist for the first mini album has been released and it's chock a block with so many instrumentals and remixes that to even call it a mini album feels like some form of blasphemy  This is just a glorified single. 3 new songs, 4 instrumentals and 5 remixes = NOT A MINI ALBUM. Does this bitch think nobody remembers when she dropped a quadruple A-side back in 1999 which featured 6 remixes and 4 instrumentals?

So you can expect each mini album to be a slap dash release of 2 new songs 4 remixes and 7 instrumentals, with an A-NNIVERSARY release featuring all of the new material from each 'mini album' on one disc, with a limited edition featuring a 2 discs worth of remixes.

I kinda can't wait to see how much of a mess the album covers are. Because those A SUMMER BEST covers couldn't have been any messier if Manuel threw the divorce papers on them and shat all over the damn things.

Whilst Namie is cancelling shows due to typhoons, Kumi is trying to catch those anime checks and Ayu is trying to prove that she's still number one; Hikaru Utada is living her life, tweeting and still remaining relevant. If Tetsuya Nomura ever announces Kingdom Hearts 3, these hoes best be ready for that theme song to drop and shut down all of their careers for a hot minute.
