Such a powerful song! I think I listen to the a-nation 07 version of this song every single day.

Gosh, Last minute could have been even stronger than it is if not for that :(
While MIJ was an improvement, I felt things going backwards with TROUBLE. It makes me so sad cause her music is so amazing and it feels like these new stuff ain't getting to the better state they could be.

You think so? IMO it has some good mastered tracks like Mad World and some terrible mastered tracks like FLOWER or Survivor. During FLOWERs chorus her voice is barely hearable.

And IMO her sound quality / mastering is going downhill since GUILTY.
Here and there you'll find some tracks with good mastering.
I personally think walking proud is her best mastered track ever.

Yeah, FLOWER was a mistep, but songs like Survivor and like you said Mad World were really good. Maybe the problem is when it comes to rockish songs so maybe why I noticed it more on A ONE? :/

For me Survivor is a mess mastering wise - maybe i have a crapy quali of MIJ, i should check this when i'm at home... but my Mad World audio is great... :shakehead

As much as i love WARNING, the master is horrible :headache

I was watching the official videos uploaded by Avex some time ago and M has like a ridiculous ammount of dislikes compared to her others videos, it is the one with most views (I think) but still, videos with 700-800k views (like evolution, moments or BLUE BIRD) have like 20-30 dislikes, M has about 1.6 million views and almost 2k dislikes, I wonder why such a big quantity and difference :rolleyes

Aderianu 6th December 2018 01:20 PM

^haters gonna hate? Huge popularity come together with huge hate

Gustavopc 6th December 2018 08:07 PM

Maybe some Christians were offended by her portraying Maria? lol

Andrenekoi 6th December 2018 08:32 PM

^There were some in the comments :P

LONJJONG 6th December 2018 08:43 PM

The top comment in M video was how people accidentally searched for "M" :s

This is a darn shame, that song is perfect (and my favorite)

And then the other dislikes are from non-Christians offended by her portraying Maria, because that's the paradox that always happens :laugh

I felt exactly this. The mixing suddenly became flat during Love Again and has pretty much stayed that way. But like you, I also felt that Made in Japan was better in this regard, and then strangely, Trouble fell backwards.

"again" was released 6 years ago

https://i.imgur.com/DysvWub.jpg

If not to think that it is more a maxi single than mini album, that was great release. "Wake me up", "Sweet scar" and especially "snowy kiss" are super amazing. I didn't like Ivy at first, but this song has so great and touching lyrics that I began to love it.

Cahz- 8th December 2018 11:02 PM

I disliked Ivy as well at first because I found it so repetitive with all those "mashita"...
Now it's my favorite track from again and LOVE again.

Evan Odinson 8th December 2018 11:34 PM

Ivy is amazing! I've been obsessed with It Was lately.

Thanks, Aderianu!

pedronekoi 9th December 2018 10:25 AM

I just found this video on YouTube of Ayu full appearence on JJ Lin concert. I've never seen this before (only few parts). She is so funny and beautiful here! Love the end when she says "I think I supposed to be go down right now" lol


Aderianu 9th December 2018 02:28 PM
