Personally I like J-Pop because of the gap with the western music !! I mean (I keep the exemple of colours) I will never heard a song like NOW & FOREVER at the radio or anywhere in my country but songs like Lelio, XOXO, Terminal hum we are saturated by that.
Yes it was cool to hear Ayu sing songs in that style but if I compare this with the musicality & creativity of an album like Love Songs or My Story for exemple in the past I'm sorry but Colours is the artistic nothingness !
A new J-Pop album with Ayu identity is truly welcome at least for me !! It's strange the last single bring nothing new but it was fresh at the same time ! I didn't enjoy a single of Ayu like this one since years=)

I understand. As Tom Punks said, some of us still enjoy Western music. I gave up on Ayu after Party Queen and wasn't revived in my interest until it was announced she was working with m-flo. It was a nice change of pace for Ayu to finally work with different producers cause I was getting a little bored of tasuku (or whatever his name is) and Yuta Nakano working on every single song. The likes of Armin van Buuren, DAISHI DANCE, Freddie Le Grand, etc. were needed to spice up Ayu's music. I immediately pre-ordered Colours without even bothering listening to a preview cause I already knew this album would be better than what she's been attempting to shit out.
Granted, I still ended up loving Party Queen and somewhat enjoying LOVE again. But because she stuck to the same formula for LOVE again, that album became a CHORE to listen to. So it was just nice to see Ayu change the scenery for an album finally after how many years? Also, you can't compare Colours to her other masterpieces (MY STORY especially) Colours was simply a fun album to listen to. It wasn't meant to challenge our minds. Ayu was just having fun and sharing the fun with us.
Zutto... and Walk did nothing for me. But I really enjoyed the emotion in Last minute. I have no memory of Tell all, I must have thought it was unmemorable; considering Pray was released shortly after and I enjoyed that song MUCH more. I'll probably end up pre-ordering the CD only version since I want my Ayu collection to be complete, lol. Excuse the long ass rant.
