New thread~ \(^O^)/
|
here we go thread VI!!
|
I think the threads will probably slow down now that we have all the information except new PVs/new songs.
But who knows, we might hit number 8 or 9, haha. It's a bit sad that this time around, no album tracks other than Love song got a tie-up deal... not even music.jp or mu-mo! |
I think the first-day sales are going to kill UHSC2's first-day sales :)

but it dont know if it will kill its first week sales too.... :~ |
I dunno, if it's the effect of waking up after a long night but I thought the covers were just okay-ish yesterday but now I think I love them. They're gorgeous. *__*
Love song sounds so different for Ayu, if I weren't watching the snippet I'd think it were a different artist. It's stuck in my head just from one listen, I'm more anxious to hear the full now. |
It seems there's not much hate for these covers, which is good. I'm sick of people *****ing lol

i wished for years something simple & clean and not overphotoshoped. now i got it |
there's still no radio-rip for「Love song」, maybe... will get it from "ayuchina" site?
too much photoshoped and retouched for【Dream ON】covers, should have been better... |
I like what they did with the Dream ON covers!
|
The mu-mo shop put up large versions of all the covers!
I'm gonna go capture them in a bit. Gorgeous. A pixel or two might be missing though. http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/793...ongscddvd1.png http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/4...ngscdonly1.png http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/6...icrosdusb1.png http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/5...icrosdusb2.png |
Today I'm liking the cd+dvd cover. I think its because of better quality. Overall I love the covers. They are much but very much better than R'n'RC covers =D. Ayu is very soft and I aprecciate that =). In other way I didn't like that much DREAM ON covers. Ayu is forcing so much the posing with her face. UN is very good on covers, but the photoshop Panasonic wannabe are too much for me =).
Anyway, actually I ain't very anxious for Love song =). I prefer to leak the whole album than just one song =). I'm more happy with the results (singles + covers + pvs) of Love Songs than RnRC =D. |
The covers look much better in HQ, thanks for sharing. The last one is my favorite :heart
|
i wonder why in the USB cover her name came first.... i guess it's random...
|
Larger covers are much prettier :) Looking forward for this release.
|
Wow larger covers *o*!! Thank you =D. She's stunning =)
|
love them! thanks for share
|
I feel like the photobook cover is the best of them all. WHY couldn't that have replaced the so-so CD+DVD version?
|
^agree with the photobook cover. but CD+DVD cover is already good~
|
I loved the covers. ♥ In HQ are even more beautiful.
|
I'm in love with all the covers now! It seems each day they look better and better. I like the concept behind them, too!
|
there are slighty bigger versions of the Dream ON Covers on the Dream ON Special website
|

They look even more beautiful. USB ver. is still the best for me but the CD+DVD looks 10x better now. |

AWESOME Dream ON covers
|
I've uploaded the preview of love song, if avex don't delete it I'll upload dream ON too xD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyvrn8omLU8 |
:roflmao @ the Dream ON covers. I actually like them both now. Urata so serious and Ayu with her O3O face looks so funny and cute, it lightens the tone. XD
|
Woaw!! The packaging for the USB+MicroSD+DVD looks gooooodd! I can't wait to have it in my haaaannnds yaayyy!!
|
oh, I heard preview of Love song. Its fantastic *-* !!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Guys, just sayin', buuuuut, in case that the CD-rip of Love songs is gonna leak like 1 week before the actual release date, it's only 11 more days till the new album for us 8))
|
FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME.
I LOVE ALL THE COVERS. Dream ON promo is very cool, and different from her usual style! Love Songs cover reminds me of a more NATURAL MOON/blossom. finally... |
it's been 15 years since ayu dressed in hip-hop style, hasn't it?
LOL but i love the promo pics... :D |
the dream on covers must look so new to everyone because it's not ayu's style. Especially considering it's not her single.
|
What happened to the love song lyrics?
|
Love song; full song
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfxoam_y_music |
^ OMG, I can't listen though.
|
I hope the rest of the songs are as good as this one! =D
|
Quote:
I want to know who composed/arranged this masterpiece! |
wooo.this is cool.i love this song!
|
Seriously, the format of the song is very new for Ayu... or at least it seems like it's a bit abnormal...
Love the arrangement and her vocals/singing style. -AYYYYYYYYYY!!! |
I've got to get used to her new singing style, but I love the melody and arrangement. The lyrics are great too, I can post a quick translation if anyone wants it (if AHS doesn't crash XD)

I have nothing to say besides that Love song is EPIC!!!!!!!!!!
|
I guess the title of the album means that she "loves songs"?
"I don't want to live a life without love I don't want to live a life without dreams I don't want to live a life without songs/music" Or something like that... |
Quote:
It's just longer and more epic, kinda like SURREAL or something... ALSO... Someone rip it fast! Avex is gonna yank that right off! lol |
There's nothing else i can say except that Love song's so great !
|
Quote:
|
So far I'm loving the song! This is Ayu I love, way better than the urban-Engrish fail =D
|
Ayu brought it with this song. I haven't really had an emotional connection to any of her songs like this is a while!
|
Quote:
|
OK, so Love song is like... her best song ever *___* I'm completely in love !! Thanks for sharing !

:thud I don't hate that song... it's just so damn ridiculous! I kinda have a feeling that do it again is gonna be urban engrish lol |
Love songs covers are a lot better in HQ. I love the one of her smiling, that one is really cute.
Love song...Gotta let that grow on me. It's gonna be a bit hard for me to get into the album since MOON was the only song I liked from this era :/ But I liked the instrumentation. The beginning reminds me of crossroad though. |
Well, i didnt love it in the first sound, her voice is kind of annoying, but im sure i will love it with time... There is a piano part that sounds like blossom
|
I like it a lot, its very different from a lot of stuff she's done.
The composition is a bit crazy lol But somehow it fits together with the song, and all the stuff happening in the arrangement. I really like it, it's very non-boring, and it's still very sweet, and it's almost like she's telling a little story. Good job Ayu. |
The PV is gonna be AWESOMEEEEE (or it better be >.>)
Ugh, love it. |
^ I second that. The song is very different from anything Ayu has ever done and the vocals are used in a different way than she usually does. Hopefully the rest of the album will follow suit.. this might be a new direction for Ayu :) Very interesting composition and arrangement!
|
Woah, so apparently at around 1:36 of the song, the melody from Last angel's intro verse kicks in but in guitar form! It's kind of barely noticeable though.
Hm, I wonder if this is a Tetsuya Komuro composition then. |
It's very different yet at the same time the notes she holds sounds like Last Links sped up. The verses are extremely good but the chorus failed to carry the momentum in my opinion. Overall still a very good song.
|
I just know Love song is going to become my new favorite song next to Last angel. :yes
|
OMG SPAZZING.
I haven't gotten this feeling from an Ayu song on the first listen since Secret came out. :heart |
OMG!!!i want to hear love song D: but i promise to myself that i must wait until christmas vacations >_<
*dead* |
This song is so awesome.
I love it! It's on repeat! |
Quote:
|
Love song is epic. The way she uses her voice is so interesting and....yeah, the song is just interesting lol
Love it. This year has been fantastic for Ayu music =D |
OMG...I'm in love!!! Love the composition, arrangement, and the way ayu sang it...so different! Can't wait for the whole album!!:luv2
|
wanna see live for love song, can't wait
|
song is good, but it's not amazing. Feels really typical and expected to me for some reason...
it's good though, glad it wasn't another boring ballad :D |
^How could you 'expect' this from ayu? :shrug
And typical? What other song does she have remotely like this in terms of composition and arrangement? Unless you were watching the preview endlessly until this leak, I just don't get how its expected and typical... |
Quote:
I mean it's clicking with me more and more as I keep listening to it, but I wish it was able to capture me on round one |
regarding the lyrics (didn't heard a bit of the song yet)... and according to truehappiness idea... maybe, she made a word play again, implying she loves music [(I) Love songs] and that she offers us a collection of [Love songs]
Ummmm, like SURREAL... I doubt anything like that can happen again... |
(*o*)
It's abnormally good imo. Anda I agree, the arrangement and composition is interesting |
Wow, those bigger pictures of the album's covers are REALLY pretty ... the CD+DVD doesn't look quite as bad anymore, ahaha. I kind of want the USB version now, but for practical reasons I have to go with the CD version.
As for the song Love Songs... VERY UNEXPECTED!!! Very refreshing composition/arrangement. It has a nice touch of rock (I like how the guitar solo comes out of nowhere near the beginning), but it's nothing out of control. It's a new sound from Ayu, but it still has that Ayu touch to it. I like how it's not completely repetitive like songs such as Moments or Dolls. This is also a song I could listen to over and over again. Mm, the only thing I don't really like is her voice. My goodness, it sounds really bad in some parts :( |
Quote:
I wanted to keep away from any leaks until I had the album in my hands, too, but after I saw the preview of Love song PV I couldn't resist. I swear, you won't get bored with this song, ever, or ruin any surprise. Because not listening to this song is just unneccesarry tortue. It is just amazing!! :heart:heart It will make you even more excited for the full album! |
Her voice in "Love song" sounds so reminiscent of her Duty/I am.../RAINBOW period...it's so brilliant! It's weird, but one of the things I love about Ayu is that her intonation of pitch class isn't always perfect in live performances, yet it just reminds me that she is only a human being trying to express her emotions through music.
|
After seeing the covers in bigger sizes, I like all of them, the CD+DVD cover looks better. I've just heard Love song, and I like it, a lot. I'm looking forward to hearing the other new songs.
|
OMG love song is awsome!
First time listened it, it was a bit boring, but when i listened a second time, it just became better and better! It's awsome. It gave me the feeling of NEXT LEVEL (song) but less electronic, more emotional, but way better. I AM IN LOVE with it, can't wait for the other songs! |
I think the weird artifacting of the first leak of the covers really didn't allow people to see how pretty they were. Thankfully the larger versions are so clear!
|
Love song is nice, but her singing style is something I have to get used to.
The idea truehappiness had seems fitting. The title feels a lot better with such a meaning, too. :laugh |
I think I have to get used to her singing style in Love song. It doesn't wow me (probly because her vocal is quite unusual this time), and I hope it will grow on me later on :).
|
Quote:
I dont think it's the most amazing song ever like some people are saying...like they say every time a song comes out, but it is a good song, and she doesnt really have any like it...but she has some that are like...parts of it. it's like she combined last links with crossroad or moon or something. But anyway, I really like it. It's something unexpected (for me lol) |
Quote:
But if gave a feeling of NEXT LEVEL, the song but... better and diffferent, but the same feeling |
Love song doesn't really sound similar to any of her other songs. Did she do similar genres before? Of course she did. Could I tell it's an Ayu song not knowing she was singing it? Sure. Not a big deal though, both her voice and style are very recognizable. No one really makes stuff you could hardly say they've made it.
I also can't see what's so different about her vocals? xD The songs so far would blend nicely on Rock'n'Roll Circus which is a good thing <3 |
^For me the guitar at the background music sounds like last links, at least that style.
The soft, slower parts remind me at moon, but more uptemto, and the violins in Love song remind me of moon. And the song has for me the roughness of crossroad. so that is why it reminds me at it. |
For some reason, the piano part feels VERY reminiscent of blossom. I really love the guitar part somewhere in 1:40, that part feels the most epic! I could just imagine them using that part as the very grand opening of next tour, if only, haha.
There's also hints of Last Links, which I happen to really love too! |
If anyone hasn't noticed, the guitar part is also part of Last angel. :yes
I love this song even more every time I listen to it. I'm really excited for the PV. |
This way, she is going to release my favorite album of hers... *----*
Thanks God after that thing she released earlier this year :P |
Love Song is pure love! i love her voice in this song!
:heart this album is gonna be epic |
She sounds as if she's finally embraced that her voice has changed since her debut, lol.
I love Love song...~ It fits with the 'genre' of the past singles - as everyone else has said - so it'll be a fitting intro to the album :yes And I love the crazy little piano rift in it :laugh So catchy! |

I don't find this song "new styled" It's 100000% Ayu i have fallen in love with. Amen.
Edit: it reminds me of kiss'o'kill O_o |

Calm down you two. Don't make me come up there...
Anyway, Love song is quite interesting! I get a real Last Links cross blossom vibe from it. I'm just happy it's not a freakin' sappy ballad. |
Her vocals are PERFECT compared to Dream ON.
I feel Duty/I am... vocals here. Damn, i can't breath. |
I love "love song" stunning!!!!!

Well, Last angel and Love song are connected, aren't they?
Not only the PVs it seems. |
I really <3 Love Song, it's so much more authentic than many of her recent releases. This might turn out to be my favourite album since My Story. ^^
