Time for the truth to come out. With Ayaya being at every Oricon poll despite the lack of releases (Only NAMIDA··· in February), Japan seems not to forget her. Lots of commercial jobs, co-hosting Johnnie's-monopolized show Utawara, a millionaire deal with Pachinko machines, Sukeban Deka kicks off in cinemas in one day, two GAM singles, and finally, her fourth album. So far, it breaks the tradition with to have a number-themed title (First Kiss, TWO, X3) and the title is Naked songs, for what a naked Ayaya cover-picture is expected (in the limits of H!P pureness) :P

YES! FINALLY! :o
I can't to see what this will be like. Better save up~ <3
-
WOW.
more goOd stuuf comin up fpr us then~!!! :heart:
-
Ahahaha! The title is really weird XD Can't wait for it, though!!!
-
At last! New Ayaya's release~!!! Hooray~~!
Great title... see if the cover will be as the title says...XD
Live bands and orchestra versions are expected here :P
-
Both H!P information channels Musume Rakuen and Centuryland list the album even after MediaMax (primary source, the shop) removed the information. Maybe because it was too soon to have it?
-
Great news...been waiting for it for AGES!!!
-
Here's hoping for the English version of Yume! Acapella! Or something else. :lol:
-
New Ayaya single !!! This sure is great news !
Can't wait to see this "naked" cover :D
-
I suspect that we're getting piano and violin songs ala he Spring concert... BUT YAY!!! Ayaya's 4th album!!!!
-
I'm gonna make a guess they're gonna give it like a more raw, live feel from the title. I'm hoping for some more lively songs as her recent songs have always been quite boring to listen to
-
weird that tsunku doesnt put a '4' in the title....should be called something like 'Naked 4 U'
-
I'm a slaaaaaaaaaaaave 4 U~
I'd want to hear Ayaya sing that one. New album! woo~~
-
weird that tsunku doesnt put a '4' in the title....should be called something like 'Naked 4 U'
yea I know, that would have been really catchy too :pimp:
-
Is she really gonna be naked? H!P has flipped. could her head get any bigger?
-
It seems that the album will be a combo of CD+DVD, according to this link:

DVD with 11 tracks OMG so worth... CD without DVD is 2,800 so it's a normal album price. Hopefully it'll be 11 or 12 tracks too. More songs will be added. The page actually says it. (http://www.cdjournal.com/main/cd/disc.php?dno=4106100211) Happiness~~
Desperado means "the desperate one" hehe. I hope to see Zutto and Kiga in there too :D
-
This has got to be the most "well-worth your money" for a H!P release...this is godly...11 PVs PLUS a full album? That is so gonna be bought by me :D
-
If I got it right, according to HMV.jp (http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail.asp?sku=1224489), the tracks on the DVD will be from the recording sessions on studio.
-
I don't really care for that DVD. I only care about the tracklist and the cover. I have to decide it later then.
-
With that dvd, I'm thinking I might have to buy this album. It would be my first Ayaya purchase if I do :D
-
Desperado!!?! A cover album?
I want lots of new songs~
The DVD tracklist looks worthy for its price. Gotta save up.

New full-length album from Aya Matsuura features self-covers, foreign music covers, and studio live recordings. This version includes bonus DVD with footage from the recordings studio performance sessions.
-
So it's a cover album + new versions
...interesting but she should have released more new songs
-
Well, foreign music covers will probably be unknown songs for Japan, so it's almost "original" material for her. Anyway I hope her own covers have new arrangements too. Goto's Watarasebashi pwns Ayaya's (the arrangement). So the third coming of Wtarasebashi in H!P shoud be even better.... :D
-
I pre-ordered the w/DVD version! Anticipation!!!

New full-length album from Aya Matsuura features self-covers, foreign music covers, and studio live recordings. This version includes bonus DVD with footage from the recordings studio performance sessions. *Unless otherwise indicated, DVDs are region-2 encoded (Japan, Europe, and Middle East), and carry no subtitles.
What does it means exactly? Is it like the Studio Live for NAMIDA··· DVD?
Or is it like a Maginf Of of her recording time in the studio?
CD only edition... and studio live recordings.
Same here. Meaning she recordered the songs with a live band, no post-production arrangement?
-
I'm thinking it's recordings of her recording the songs? Sorta like how you see with HPAS, and the old MM singles.
-
ooh...cover album, that explains why there is no number reference in the title. :)
I'm mad that they're studio lives though...but then again the PVs will eventually go on a Single V collection 3 DVD or something like that.
-
wow sounds like a great deal to get this album! ^O^
-
Finally! Aya starts pimping her 4th album with this awesome ballad. Not like any other H!P ballad, more like what BoA or AI would do. It's amazing! I swear: it's so good. Don't miss it!! (Credit) (http://hanrick.blog8.fc2.com/blog-entry-670.html)
Aya Matsuura - DEAREST (http://www.twitter.com/?d=ZQYKNGRE)
:pen_shocked::pen_whirl::pen_whirl:
Discuss!!
Thanks Heaven I pre ordered the album time time ago... :D
-
Ooh~ It does kinda sound like something BoA would sing! I really like it :w00t: I wasn't sure at the beginning of the song, but it gets better as it goes on~
-
Sendspace link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/m2hbre
A kick-ass song indeed...you go Ayaya~! :D
-
The song starts off kinda slow, and like Purin I wasn't really sure what to make of it at first, but as the song went on I loved it. It has a really nice build up. This is NOT an H!P song. :lol: I especially love the live feel of it. I have even bigger hopes for the album now.
-
I can't say its really unique, but its nice. Definitely un-Hello! Project, which is good, considering its Ayaya. The song would do well as a single, if used correctly, like in a drama. It does sound like something BoA would do, but its the way she sings it I think sounds closer more than anything.
Is this Tsunku produced? or someone else?

Could be produced by someone else...I remember reading that Naked Songs is a cover album, this song could be a cover for all we know...and its not even confirmed that the actual song title is called Dearest.
-
indeed it sounds like a BoA song and I have her upcoming single "Winter Love" stuck on my mind lately :D
wonder who wrote "Dearest" since it doesn't sound like a typical H!P song and I'm also curious who did the nice chorus. nice song, nice voice! GJ!!
-
...and its not even confirmed that the actual song title is called Dearest.
but I thought Ayaya says it on her ANN radio show that the song title is called "Dearest"........which is where the rip came from.....
-
whoops, my bad, i shoulda read more into it
...why name a ballad the same name as another very popular ballad? Dearest - Hamasaki Ayumi
though I think I like Ayaya's Dearest more... I need HQ :(
-
It really has a non-H!P vibe o__o That's nice (but slightly generic) ballad and Ayaya does a great job singing it.
I guess it's time to abandon the hope that she'll have up-beat, cute singles or album tracks ever again ;)
-
This song is really good and Aya's voice is soo wonderful, she really has one of the best voices in H!P
-
"Dearest" is a generic ballad that BoA would sing, totally agreed, and Hamasaki Ayumi's "Dearest" is way superior... did they happen to work with some (ex-?) avex composers/arrangers by any chance on this song? :| But I hope the non-H!P sound can attract general audience at least *sigh*

Indeed. Very cookie-cutter. Precisely why I don't really like BoA-type songs much. Ayaya sounds good still, though.
-
/me likes it. :thumbsup
-
Thanks Shaoran for the preview.
"Dearest" is quite avex-ish. Wonder who the composers are. (Definitely NOT Tsunku, I guess.)
I love this song. Ayaya's voice is too wonderful.
Arghhh...should have pre-ordered the album earlier.
-
This song is really good and Aya's voice is soo wonderful, she really has one of the best voices in H!P
No doubt!! :heart: Ayaya has such a great quality to her voice... She must really take her vocal training seriously^^ LOL
Just listened to the song, and I have to say I really like it too :heart: DEFINITELY different from her H!P stuff, but I think it shows a more mature side to her, which has been coming through a lot in recent years, and I think it suits her really well^^ Like a lot of you guys already said, Ayaya has the kind of voice that can carry a ballad like this and it shows her potential to move outside of the idol market to become a true musical artist.
Go Ayaya! :otomerika:

Sort of hawt, nonetheless.
-
Lol. Make-up on could've been done better, though. She looks sickly, almost.
I agree! And latley, like in live performances she seems to have her make-up done this poorly too XD
-
I've been going this thread often in the past few weeks as more info is released about this album, and I have to say, I am kind of disappointed that it will be a cover album, just because I think Ayaya is due for some fresh new songs! XD LOL But if it's true that there will be some new songs mixed in, I suppose it's worth to buy... I'm like Charoite, I think I will have to "preview" it first before I actually get it LOL
And hopefully the cover will be much more appealing, too, ne? Ayaya can be so beautiful, but that photograph doesn't really do her justice! XD
-
as if aya isn't everywhere already. japan has HP & JE comming out the wazoo. Why don't the just join forces & take over japan? I can see the headlines " evil masterminds & cutie pimps Tsunku & Johnny combine to make Hello!Johnny, The world is now doomed." life is so fun. & you don't have to worry about dating because ( dramatic pause) ALL THE FRICKEN JOHNNYS ARE LIKE SO GAY! ( cause all the cute guys who won't date me are) then everyone will kill themselves & T&J will be happy cause no one can date their artist. sorry for my rant, guess I don't sleep enuf. but am I they only one who gets pissed sometimes? like really? is it only me?

They remind me of Utada. Don't ask why. It's the feeling I get xD
Now words on the cover? No tittle? No artists name? Like (miss)understood :o
Orange color > You. So YAY :D
-
^ They are kind of Utada-ish, ne? LOL Reminds me kind of like the cover for Keep Tryin', just because of the interposed images in the background...
Kind of like this LOL

but...i don't like the covers of this album ><
i don't feel the connection with the title...Naked songs...
and she looks pissed off lol
i've just heard DEAREST...i have to say i love this song, especially the chorus of it. Must be one of my fav songs from her now.

All songs in orange have been already released. 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are from first album First Kiss. Re-arranged versions in Naked Style I guess (What she does with the band at her concerts). I assume track 5 is The Bigaku c/w, re-arranged as well. Songs in red are the new songs.
6 old re-arranged, 5 new tracks. And NAMIDA... we still have to find out if it's the released version or if she re-arranged it. I am confident it's the original version, or it would be up there with the oranges lol
It's kind of half original album, half First Kiss Classical lol
-
^ Great
I have a feeling Hitori will sound great, just a feeling.
And you may want to change the font abit, i practically cant differentiate between orange and red lol :D

Wow, that's actually not so bad!^^ When you guys had mentioned it was a "cover album," I thought Ayaya was going to be singing a bunch of old songs, but songs by *other* artists, not her own... This actually sounds really cool! :heart: Kind of like how Namie Amuro's LOVE ENHANCED Singles Collection album was, with different rearrangements of old songs... I like that :heart:
-
What happened to Desperado? I was really looking forward to hearing an Ayaya version of it XD
On another note, I like the fact that this is a cover album. First Kiss is still my favorite Ayaya album and I've wanted to hear the current Ayaya sing my favorites from that album for a while now.
-
That's one weird concept for the cover art, not sure what to think about it.
Well, at least she appears to be naked.
First Kiss is still my favorite Ayaya album and I've wanted to hear the current Ayaya sing my favorites from that album for a while now.
Ditto.
-
The only thing I really find weird about the cover is that there's gonna be a huge ayaya head in the middle of it :lol:
-
Her head's the only thing that's on it, so that's not really a "The only thing.." scenario :lol:
-
Ive heard dearest, it rawks... i love ballads coming from H!P
On the other hand, why does it feel like i've heard this somewhere. It sounds like the song from 1 ltr of tears, the part where they show the credits and photos of the girl.
-
lol this sounds nothing like K's Only Human...maybe they sound alike because of the piano and that the song is good?

Re-arranged old Aya songs all by Suzuki Shunusuke
Hitori and dearest. are the new original songs. Couldn't find anything on dearest arranger, garamoon. The writer and composer worked on some songs for KJ1 F・T・O, Kanjani's8 first album.
中野雄太, Hitori arranger, wrote, composed and arranged Hitomi Shimatani's Haru Machibito / Camellia. NOW THAT'S EXCITEMENT!
CD (http://www.jbook.co.jp/p/p.aspx/3213840/s) and DVD (http://www.jbook.co.jp/p/p.aspx/3213839/s) tracklists are the same.
-
wow 2 new non-Tsunku tracks... Dearest sounds real nice, i am hoping that Hitori turns out great too~! i wonder if we will get another Avex-sounding song since the guy who wrote Hitori has done Shimatani's song before *lol*.
thanks for the info~~.

I am so glad I ordered this through EMS. It is becoming the most worth purchase in H!P in a long time. Best Christmas Ever.
-
Don't Know Why = makes me giggle.
-
Oricon's Ninki Polls predict for Aya the best H!P album sales in a long time. Read the article on ikimasshoi.com (http://www.ikimasshoi.com). She already holds the latest best selling original album, her X3, together with MM nº5, both over 100K (like her Best last year). Maki, Nacchi and MM move around 25~45K and C-ute, Berryz and V-u-den are between 14~16K. And this is totals. Ninki Polls says 47 of ratio. It does not mean 47K but looking and studying previous Ninki polls and Weekly ranks, she's likely to do that high. I hope so :D
-
Two new awesome songs!!!
Thanks Shaoran.
She did ok on Don't Know Why... better than what I expected.
-
thanx shaoran~

I just had the time to listen to this album. And it's 00:26 and I am so relaxed, thanks to it. This jazzy style is so great in these days of final projects for the uni. I mean, I am all day stressed but thanks God I have Naked Songs already. Awesome, awesome. Gorgeous at all. I will write a good long review and put it up at Ikimasshoi. I guess the album will be soon in uploaders and such. BUY IT!

Full album, 320kbps, GO GET DAT SHIT~!

OSUP.
You da man, rionz.
Listening to it now! Re-arranged tracks, great~~~~
-
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new songs. "Rock my Body" is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for/expecting, "Feel Your Groove" is fantastic.. and while I would have preferred "Don't Know Why" in Japanese, her English was really cute. :heart:
As for the rearranged songs, they were all wonderfully done. My only regret is the selection- of course they're all longtime favourites, but I would have liked to see something else sung for once (they all remind me her lives where she sung with a band). What about "THE LAST NIGHT?" :ONpleeease:
Still though.. I really enjoyed everything 100%.. I can't wait to recieve my copy so I can watch the live.

You *ROCK*, RionZ! :heart: Thanks for sharing this!^^ Can't wait to dl and listen later!
-
Downloaded, loved it, ordered the limited edition :P
Seriously, this album is absolute love :heart: No words can express the greatness that is Ayaya ...
-
I like the re-arrangements on the old songs, but the album as a whole isn't as impressive as I hoped. There's something about it that doesn't feel like a solid album, but rather just a studio session. The jazz is nice, though.
-
WOOT thanks RZ! This was so wonderful. I liked everything about it! All the new songs, all the old songs, even the enlgrish song, and the jazzy feel to the whole album was choice. I can't wait for my copy now. Thanks again RionZ. This really made my day hearing this!

Enjoy~! :D
A clip from her new album DVD, good stuff :D
I didn't download this, but I'm curious.. is this actually a PV? Or just footage of her in the studio singing?
-
Studio singing, i still called it a PV since its a "promotional video" aired on TV to promote the album/dvd. Its pretty good though :D
-
I just got the album, it's great !!! I haven't had time to listen to everything but so far I loved the remake of Love Namida Iro and I know !
-
After the first listen I was a bit disappointed, I liked some of her songs in her Shanghai Live better then in this version, it's like somethings missing... energy, don't know.
But the more I listen to it the more I like it esp. the new songs.
-
The DVDISO + wave (lossless) will be up on the tracker tomorrow☆☆
-
Thank you share for wave and ISO goodness! I''m lvoing the DVD! There are somany new versions of Ayaya's singles that aren't on the album! And she's having so much fun! That's how you know that they love what they do!
-
I DON'T KNOW WHY I CAN'T GET I DON'T KNOW WHY OUTTA MY HEAD!!
I love this song, even with the god-awful engrish. Its such a smooth tune...and her voice...ahhh...
I think feel your groove is the best track on her so far. I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!
-
^ it's the same for me XD
I never liked that song and I HATE Norah Jones, but I could listen to Aya's version for hours and melt away :heart:
-
I FINALLY recieved my copy yesterday afternoon and immediantly ran home to check out the DVD. After DLing the (audio) album and completely falling in love with it, I was so psyched for the DVD and anticipating something incredible. But. In the end I was so disappointed. :ONcool2:
Ayaya looked adorable as always and her vocals were, as usual, terrific. Watching her strong stage presense was a joy- it was really cool to see her do things 'her' way.. it was so obvious how happy singing with a live band makes her! I sat through the DVD from start to finish with a group of friends (none of which had any idea who she was) and by the end everyone seemed to agree she's super talented. However, despite not knowing who she was, they also agreed that a few of the faster songs sounded.. 'off' somehow. And that's really my only complaint.. the rearrangements for Meccha Holiday, Momoiro, Dokidoki, Tropical & co.. they all just seemed to slur together a bit. I guess it didn't help they were all kinda slumped together toward the middle. Before the acoustic rearrangements, they only vaguely sound alike.. but stripped down, it just seemed more of the same thing. I was originally really hoping to hear some of her more recent tracks (at least on the DVD.. I never really took a good look at the DVD tracklist until then) or some of her more different hits.
In the end I absolutely loved the album. I also still enjoyed the DVD.. but not quite as much as I was anticipating. Of course I'm sure the DVD's tracklist is someone else's 'dream' set.. just not mine. lol
-
On a curious note, I went to the Japanese Embassy here yesterday, and they were playing this album's version of Dokki Doki Love Mail and Dearest on their internal sound system... awesome!!!
-
^ Wow. That's really amazing XD
-
I listened to it, but it never really captured my attention. I felt it kinda kept the same pace through most of it and I sorta just drifted off doing something else. I was kinda excited for this and was a little disappointed.
I also liked the originals over these re-arranged tracks.
Maybe I'll like it more if I listen to it a few more times.
-
Yes, do try to listen to it a handful of times before you completely decide that it's trash. I know that personally, I hated it the first time I listened to it and I've been appreciating it so much more each time I go through it.
-
I never thought it was trash, if it were trash, I wouldn't even listen to the whole thing :lol:

Well, ok. Norah Ayaya Jones is not as loved as Princess Ayayamu :(
Anyway it's still great numbers considering she only did one single of 20K (Namida). Now she shuld get Lucie Silva's rights for What Are You Made Of or Everytime I see you and keep her dream of being more than an idol.
-
Don't kid yourself Mark, you know that's shit. :lol:
It's really disappointing to see the numbers, but it's not surprising. Ayaya herself is made of talent and awesome, but she's always let down by the choice of songs (which I have no idea if she picked)..
-
^ It doesn't surprise me either. One of my main 'complaints' with the album was the choice of songs. She has so many singles and 3 albums and yet of all the songs to cover, it's the same handful I seem to hear over and over. Nothing wrong with that in particular, but I would have honestly perferred something a little more interesting.
-
At least she's still doing well with GAM, but maybe during the next release cycle they'll give her a new solo hit as well?
-
YAY!! I got my naked songs today!! I so love this album :heart::heart::heart:
I wonder why no ones posted the inside? (http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3599/nakedsongsbackri8.th.jpg) (http://img146.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nakedsongsbackri8.jpg)
my scanner blows, sorry.
Well as for the song selection, in regards for the redone tracks, I think they could have done without "I know" or "Tropical Koishite". I would have prefered "The Big gaku" (lol thats just me), "Your Song" (of course), or "From the Sky" could have been a nice jazz redone or maybe even "Shining Day"(which I really like more these days). As for the new ones on this album, I love 'em. Nice smooth sounds. I think she showing some remarkable vocal control. It would be nice if she worked more on her low end keys, but still nice leveling and improved range. I hope she gets to do more with live bands, some named Jazz groups (give Mika a call and hook up with her dad's band).
All in all what makes this album work for me is that I play it start to finish and love every track :heart:
Well done Ayaya...please keep it up!
-
I listened to it more, but I still don't think it was that great to me.
The only new songs I really like are Rock My Body and Dearest. The new Suna wo was actually pretty good, and I liked it more than I did the original. Love Namida Iro was also pretty great, and my favorite of the covers. Though I still like the original more. Don't Know Why was also pretty nice, but it's not really her song >_>. The album had good stuff all over the place, but alot of it just wasn't put together all that well I think. The only song that actually sounded like a real song was Dearest, which is my favorite track from the album. The rest of the songs sound like background music to some lounge or something.
It had some good stuff going on, but just wasn't solid enough as an album.
Actually, if it were shorter and had like 5 songs in it, I would have probably really liked it.
-
When I heard this was going to be a jazz type album, I was hoping for something along the lines of "Doki Doki Love Mail" and "Ne~e" that she performed at the Dream Concert Hall waaaaaay back in 2004. I LOVE those kind of jazz songs. They were upbeat and had a great rhythm. However this new album reminded me of elevator music. =_= Now please don't get me wrong, I think Aya has a wonderful voice.. in fact I think she is at the Top (next to Maki) vocal wise in H!P. She could be doing SOOOOO much more with that great voice, but "they" keep giving her these lame songs. *sigh* I was also hoping she would release an album of her "unplugged' songs that she sang at her 2006 tour. ~_~ Ahh well.
Speaking of her jazz stuff. Does anyone have (or know) where I can get the mp3's of her earlier work? Thanks in advance. :)

post more and then ask for access to the asshole section. ;)
-
anyone happen to have a link to the lyrics to DEAREST ? did some searching on google and some other forums but no luck. i think this is a suitable place to ask =/
-
I guess the song I like the best is Rock My Body - her voice is so cool in that song - I can keep listening to it over and over.
I also like Don't Know Why but Norah Jones is hard to match, and I really think Aya should work on her English skills. The first time I heard that song on the Shanghai DVD I thought she was singing it in Mandarin or something XD
-
im a little bit dissapointed with this album since it doesnt have 100kai no kiss on it....:( that was one of ayas bestest songs

It's on the DVD (if your comp can handle the DL, the ISO file is available on JPH!P's Torrent tracker). Also, on Hello! Online's tracker there's a torrent that has the mp3 rips of the songs like 100 kai no Kiss that were on the DVD but were not included in the album.

The album was nice. I'm just in shock that she covered a song from one of my all time favourite western singers, and she did it so well. Norah + Aya? *Melts*

Bleh, seconded. I hate romanizing by ear XD
-

-
^ thanks, but it's the wrong album!^^ I was referring to the songs from 2004, Dream Concert Hall! XD :heart: (anyway, cd to buy available?)
-
