^ Crossroad is a damn good song with an excellent arrangement. I don't blame you.

To me, Sweet Season got the vibe of Hitomi Shimatani, so refreshing and relax, which is not common in Ayu's discographies. I love that song =]

It's so weird for me to see how many people don't like Last Angel. Or don't love it.
For me, it's such an amazing song I can't even describe it in words. I almost have 100 listens on that song. >_>

H>A>&>L

I guess I'll rank singles too...

L=&>H>A. I can't not love &, Hanabi ep II is in there LOL.

&=H > L > A

I'll do the new songs ranking later.

& = L > H = A

I only like Hanabi from H and Trauma from A.

for me L just has 1 a-side...virgin road...
last angel n sweet seasons sound like a b-side to me....
those 2 songs r plain in my opinion...
may be i'll change my opinion after playing again n again...
lol....

here's my ranking for her maxi single ^^!
A>H>&>L !

HAHA! I feel that Last angel is something Shima might sing. the high note is soemthing that was apparent in many of her songs like ANGELUS and Shinku.

for ranking,

crossroad=Virgin Road (im amazed at crossroad so much now) > MOON > blossom > Last angel > Sweet Season

Actually, i find that L lies on the simple and not totally extravagant side of maxi singles. And somehow, i appreciate that because it seems very personal and the music reflects a less complex feel. Maybe except for Last angel, VR and Sweet Season's arangements are very straightforward.

I'm suprised more people don't love Last Angel, for me it's the strongest song on the single! Virgin Road is also fantastic, and Sweet Season is just ok :)

Because rating the maxi singles is the new black...

& (love everything) > H (love HANABI, independent and July 1st are okay) > L (love Virgin Road, Last Angel is okay, Sweet Season sucks) > A (love End roll, too late is nice, monochrome is good, dislike Trauma)

:)

my single ranking
A - Ayu's legendary songs single haha
L - love all tracks, last angel is fantastic songs,virgin road and sweet season so sweet
H - love only HANABI but independent and July 1st are just fun for me when these songs are in live.
& - cool but similar with general Ayu's singles

My rank was:

Last Angel>crossroad>Virgin Road>SEVEN DAYS WAR>blossom>MOON>Sweet Season

L >> A >> H > & in my case, if we compare her maxis :)

For me it will be: Virgin Road > Crossroad = SDW > MOON = Sweet Season > Last Angel > Blossom

With L, I can finally say it's something that the past Ayu could not come up with.

I kind of like Last angel here! Don't see (or hear) that style very often for ayu...

MOON = crossroad > Last angel > blossom > Virgin Road > SEVEN DAYS WAR = Sweet Season

Two last tracks... They're just the weakest ones for me, I don't dislike them. MOON and crossroad have turned out to be a pure perfection.

btw, why AHS was out a while ago? I obviously thought something important leaked xD

exactly >.<

yeah i got all excited and thought the full Virgin Road PV was out :(

Ummmm....so many people dislike or barely like Last Angel. How ironic knowing fans were dying for an upbeat song :rolleyes

I find it the best song from all three singles. I finally have another song in consideration as another fav ayu song along with Microphone and SLT
Its so much more chill and listenable than in your face Sparkle and Sunrise

I reeeeally love this song. I guess many fans don't favor the awkwardness of the arrangement (even though they also wanted ayu to change things up a bit in regards to that)
I loooove how different it is for her, especially recently. Its strangely amazing. And lyrically awesome. Surreal and beautiful imo.

I feel the song actually progresses and changes in its own way. Like Virgin Road


And then we have Sweet Season...ill have to listen to that again later

& > L > H=A

Last Angel > crossroad = Virgin Road > MOON > blossom > SEVEN DAYS WAR

Ill place Sweer Season later lol

& > A > L > H

Her maxi singles have all been so good, so it's hard to rank.

crossroad > Last angel > Virgin Road > MOON > blossom > Sweet Season > SEVEN DAYS WAR

It was so hard to rank these too! I love them all. x_x

Only 3 more days till we got L! :D

LMAO at crossroad ranking so high! Didn't you hate that song? xD;

How awesomely cool how the posters go together!! I'm SO having them both framed. Now I just need to find wallspace for them in my apartment!

And CDJapan is awesome. Both singles + posters just arrived to my door here in California about 10 minutes ago. Now to go unpack and enjoy them! :D

^Another thread has already been made. XD

my rank...

Virgin Road > MOON > crossroad > Sweet Season > blossom > SEVEN DAYS WAR > Last Angel
