Maybe due to its black-and-white tone, the picture of the real album and it back cover strongly reminds me of A BEST. Wonder how the pictures in the booklet will turn out to be.

That's exactly what I feel! :yes:yes It kind of reminds me of that melancholy voice and melodies during that era!

Omg shape of love should be called sorrow instead, dont know why but its the feeling i get after hearing the song

Wow at Shapes of Love!

I didn't expect that.
I was preparing myself for a generic ballad, but the preview sounds anything but.
The instrumentation is sooooo good!!

Shape of love is definitely awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
omg.. sixxxxxx totally sounds so perfect as a whole..
hope it will sell well!

All her minis are really great (well the normal ones Memorial address, FIVE and sixxxxxx is shaping well too, LOVE & again's songs too but they are more singles).

That's because each song is completely different on the minis.

If again was a true mini album, it would have been my favourite one from ayu. Nice diversity.

oh wow..shape of love..lovely!!!
the guitar part is soooo wonderful...love this...the song reminds me of Duty era ballad like far away, seasons...
the guitar part gave a very summery feeling...
I really keep my hope high for this releases everything is so perfect

Man, seems like sixxxxxxx is building up to top A ONE for me

I'm in love with Shape of love! *-* Is so perfect

Already leaked?

OMG...I can't stop listening Shape of love..the song is soothing and very dreamy summery...I imagine Ayu sing this song at beach shore with candles and accoustic guitar...very sweet and romantic..

want to know the meaning of the lyrics

GAAAHHHHH THIS SONG IS SO PRETTY

I can't even. I just can't.

Ayu, you are making me so happy musically lately!! ;___;!!!!!

Her vocal is magnificent as well...deep but soft in the same time...I love the mixing and mastering for Sixxxxxxx as well...definitely better than A ONE which is very bad in term of mixing and mastering

I love how folky it sounds! Fantastic melody.

Yea i feel like Shape of love feels way or sorrowful than Sorrows LOL!!
and its so melancholic and nostalgic! >< i was pleasantly surprised by the guitars in the opening, very old-school!!

So they're really advertising it as an album? It's definitely a mess. Avex doesnt know what a single is and now they don't know what a mini album is. MA was a mini album and it was even longer. This is less than 30 minutes, LOVE/again were almost an hour (and Avex believed that they were mini albums) yet this is called a 'ニューアルバム' or 'new album'? Messy. I guess we got her very skimpy 17th album in less than 6 months. This is messier than when the back of the LOVE again photobook had an ayu logo that wasn't centred properly.

loved it from the beginning.

I need Shape of Love in my life.

I think the album will be leaked in the evening of tomorrow. As same as A ONE

I very rough translation from Russian. Keep in mind: I'm terrible at translating and I don't speak any Japanese, so there might be some inaccuracies, but the general meaning is still conveyed:

What is the shape of love? What's its colour?
If love is something that can be seen and touched
Then it's certainly not so complicated and more pleasant

But still we fall in love and hurt again
(the last line hasn't been translated yet, but with the help of dictionary seems like it's something along the lines of "Someday the tears will finally have a meaning", but don't trust me on that lol)
