It's nice that she's re-releasing Love Songs for the fifth time but I am still praying every single day to my alter of LOVEppears, I Am... and SECRET that we'll one day get fresh, poppy Ayumi back.

So good! I love all the previews. Can't wait to received LOVE again!

I'm in Love with Sakura, Bye-bye Darling and Gloria
so excited of the hole album

I like the new songs, especially SAKURA. But the previews of the interludes ehm.... not really :D

SAKURA and Gloria sound superb!! Can't wait for the album!

omgomgomg gimmegimmegimme! can't wait for this!!!

also, who knew glasses of all tracks would sound so awesome lol.

i like how -all- of the tracks sound! i kind of hear elements of past albums in a lot of the songs...

Well, I think that I am.../GUILTY/Love songs/Party Queen/Love again are pretty much Duty all over again hahaha. It's just ayu and there is nothing wrong with that.

On the other hand There's the other ayu that is more Secret/NEXT LEVEL/(3 first tracks of Party Queen) which hopefully we will get again sometime. We did get it with Wake me up somewhat =)

Anyway the previews sound superb!!!! 4 are so touching and Good-bye darling sounds like a cool up beat pop/rock "angry" song. Love it so far.

SAKURA, petal and untitled are highly beautiful and Gloria is a nice catchy ender!

Seriously, glasses is a title I would give to a generic Angela Aki ballad, but oh my god it's like that vocal-sampling goodness from Bridge to the sky all over again!

I'll be forever mad that "task'n'bass" is a interlude, damn that **** is hot!
SAKURA & Bye-bye darling are my favs judging by the previews, the chorus of Sakura sounds so lovely <3 I adore how nostalgic most of these sound.

So excited for this album! :luv2

Doesn't petal have a bit of a Duty feel? Like the arrangement is somewhat similar to the tracks in Duty...

^ it does to me :)

thank u!
task'n'bass: Dub-step Era
glasses: LOVEppears Era

the rest 4 me is like a Love song style, ballads with rock and so meaning Melody and Lyrics, but I love the style of this 2 Minis is a new style never heard 4 my by ayu.

But in personally I will stop buying stuff by her, she's saturing with so much songs.

Bye-bye darling gives me straight up LOVEppears vibes, and i agree there is some "Duty" over petals!

The interludes sound epic and the songs too OMG

thank you for the previews !is there someone who can upload all the previews in a file (not in cure as we can foudn in the DL section) ? thanks in advance ! :)

Thanks for the previews!


I translated untitled for her…story 2's preview~

From the place you chose
I wonder how you see me, the way I am now
In the place you chose
[I hope there isn't] a single thing that torments you

(The preview cuts off the last sentence, but judging by the sentence structure it'll be something like this.)

^ Beautiful and sad lyrics, thanks for those (:

And thanks for uploading the archive, yamadashun :D This album seems to be INCREDIBLE, I love how I get a Love songs ~to the future~ feeling on it :laugh There's not a single preview I do not like :) untitled 2 :heart omg

very soft album compare to party queen that very dark...

i like the album

SAKURA is the best song from the preview...it has big potential becoming a hits...too bad it's not the promotion song for the album...

GREAT! i want bye-bye darling full version !

hmm, nothing impressed me much. everything sounds mediocre :rolleyes

Not really impressed either :no the only preview I like is SAKURA.
Hopefully I will like the full songs more :/

I have kinda mixed feelings about the previews. I know that they're good in some way, but I am not THAT excited about the new tracks, except maybe Gloria. Bye-bye darling is like snowy kiss (same type of arrangements). task'n'bass is not that good : i'm sick of dub-step nowadays :headache .
Well, in brief, I like those songs right now because they're from Ayu, but if I didn't know her and heard them on the radio, I think I wouldn't like them...

SAKURA and Gloria are the gems for me.

Sakura, Untitled for her story 2 and Gloria are all just the usual ballads. Nice the first times, and then I grow awfully bored.
task'n'bass is such an NEXT LEVEL inspired interlude. Love it!
Bye-bye darling is the song I like the most, and its very animeish.
petal sounds like a good medium ballad, and like some others have said, reminds me a lot of duty, but also marionette and the GUITLY album in general.
Not sure what I think of glasses, its a bit weird, but reminds me a lot of LOVEppears-era.

From the already existing albums I only care about Snowy Kiss and Wake me up.
I hate to judge an album before its released, but to be honest I think this is will end up as my least favorite album :no

BUT!! Her voice is really good in these songs.

Sakura and Gloria!!!! so wanna cry I think Im going to love these 2 like I love Ivy and Melody too

<3

Not bad
I like Sakura. it feels like melody, but way better. kinda like ivy. I have an idea who composed it ><
bye bye darling is also good

tbh i wanted more TL compositions but... oh well

Enjoyed the previews much, thank you!

It must get #1.

Edit 1. Considering two minis to be maxi-singles, this release is just a masterpiece...

Edit 2. Song 4 u, Missing, snowy kiss, Sweet scar, Wake me up, Ivy, Melody... all the previews... ****, this is going to be my favourite album... O_O

I KNOW RIGHT??? those tracks are just perfection to my ears. and with these...most classical ayu/jpop sounds, its like..everything goes tgt.

Bye-bye darling suddenly gave me vibes like...blossom meets sending mail HAHA
petal reminds me of one song so badly but I can't recall. is it an alan song? LOL..love the entire sound of it.
SAKURA sounds so emotion (like Ivy). gonna love it to bits. the tempo of this feels a bit like Heartplace to me?
Gloria feels like Melody pt 2 totally. Definitely concert-ender haha.
untitled for her 2 is really touching. her voice just shines through the simple background music.

How can the Japanese not liking this album? tell me? haha

Sorry but I already imagining her perform Sakura is the most beautiful way in the concert :D

Everything sounds promising so I can't wait to get my copy and hear everything in full.

i love petals...
sakura is nostalgic
petal reminds me of scar...

The preview is quite good

They all sound great, can't wait to hear them in full!

I like them all, the last instrument in petal preview made me curious to hear what's more! Or was that already the actual ending? :tipsy

I found the LOVE tracks pretty too even though I've never really listened to them, maybe like this when they have not-so-similar tracks surrounding them they will each stand out more :yes Many of the compositions make me think of anime, that's not necessarily a bad thing though. She's definitely back at her jpop roots.

SAKURA seems like a bit of a let down, Bye-bye darling like the complete opposite :blove glasses sounds so LOVEppears to me lol. untitled... story 2 is beautiful. task n' bass sounds fun but I'm worried for the full album experience with it coming right after Melody:tired Gloria is nice so far.

^
The melody->tasknbass transition seems better than pieces of seven->days tbh

Lol, love this.

^^Anything is better than that, but still doesn't make melody->task n' bass a smooth flow. I rarely listen to her full albums because of their flow problems anyway so..

I must be the only one who doesn't like any of the previews, but I usually do end up changing my mind...we'll see.

I agree about task'n'bass - can we have an album full of just this one day?

SAKURA is okay, the lyrics are about tears and smiling?
Did task'n'bass repeat because I swear it was just a short clip played twice lol
petal has a nice sound - very refreshing and different. Kind of m(u) era mixed with Curtain Call??
glasses sounds like a great interlude - still find the title weird though lol
untitled 2 sounds like it does the original justice. It's probably the one I was most worried about actually! I think I'll be listening to this a lot~
Gloria is nice and peaceful - it would make a great PV song........if only!

I'm not going to relisten if I can help it so I get as much mielage out of this album as possible. It does have a good sound though :)

4. 「SAKURA」: sad ballad, love this!
6. 「task'n'bass」: unique, remember me about 「NEXT LEVEL」album's introduction & interlude
7. 「Bye-bye darling」: like anime soundtrack, very energetic !!!! YEAH~ rockish ayu !!!
10. 「petal」: similiar with 「Ivy」>_< very love this !!! 「Ivy」's couple song, LOL~
11. 「glasses」: hmm slow but hmm good remix
12. 「untitled for her... story 2」: luxurious !!!
13. 「Gloria」: i don't know why, remember me about opening part in 「Yesterday & Today」by DO AS INFINITY

AMAZING! i love all the tracks! seriously her best album, imo, since.... secret! I love petal and gloria the most! they bring me back to the nostalgic Duty era!

Well, as expected, a bunch of (forgettable) mid-tempo/ballad songs (minus Bye Bye Darling). Not my style; I'll get bored of this album after a couple listens. Oh well.

nice! i like almost everything!! sakura, byebyedarling, petal and gloria~~ <3

At the moment the only tracks that stand out to me are the two interludes. I think with the full length songs, I really will have to wait to hear the whole of them before deciding what my opinions are.

But "Task'n'bass" and "Glasses" sound really good! I'm a sucker for anything that sounds remotely electronic. As others have said, "Glasses" sounds like it could have been on Loveppears and for that I really like it. :)

task'n'bass is the best... :P

I don't understand the love for untitled 2. But i think it's cute and tbh the pink hue of the song is better than the brown/orange hue of the first.

I think it's time to give my opinion:
1. Sakura- it sounds so nostalgic. Like melody, but way better. It's what melody should have been. Placed next to melody seems odd. My odd favourite of the bunch... So far.
2. Tasknbass- is this dub step? I don't know. It's nice. At least it isn't ripping off another song... As far as we know. I'm sure the full song is great.
3. Bye bye darling- it feels like this should have been snowy kiss, with the title and all. Feels like a cousin of snowy kiss. It is definietly a rockish track. I like.
4. Petal- love love love. It's like ivy's sexier sister.
5. Glasses- what's going on here? It's nice...
6. Untitled- as I said above. It feels nicer on this album. Pink> orange. It's sweet like beloved. Uh oh. So sweet.
7. Gloria- it feels like a my story leftover. OMG yes! Like winding road and walking proud had freaky sex.

I'm very impressed
I think I like Sakura the most just cuz of the title.
But all of them have potential.
I feel... More proud than ever to be a fan (and I'm not a proud person at all)
Ayuma has become less of a hot mess; Her music ain't no mess no more.


I also think that ayuma realized that, as much as I somehow love it, party queen was a bit trash. So now she's serving My Story teas and coming for blood.

OMG wowww...i love the whole songs from the previews, sound so richhh!!
can't wait for the full album.
the interludes sound awesome as well.

and i thought I was the only who thought of brown when I heard untitled 1 HAHAHAH

I have mixed feelings about these previews. They're indeed good but they didn't impressed me neither.
SAKURA, petal and GLORIA are the most interesting so far imo. I'm waiting for the full leaks though, because I know I'll change my mind when hearing the full song lol.

All the previews are great, imo this album is amazing!!!!!!

I LOVE SAKURA, petal and Gloria
can't wait for full versions

So far, petal and maybe SAKURA. They sound promising.

I remember how I wasn't impressed with missing and now I consider this song a masterpiece, so... Maybe it'll be the same for these songs? It's going to be a very good album, that's for sure.

Untitled for her is one of those songs that everytime I listen it makes me feel the pain she feels while singing, so untitled for her 2 MUST be a good one... It's a shame that the preview didn't make me feel that... :(

I was really waiting for them.Great previews!Very interesting Petal & Glasses.I think I'm gonna buy this album when it comes in February.Untitled For Her 2 seems similar to the first one.

All these songs are quite good ! I really like the interludes and again it's a shame that they are not full songs :grumpy Glasses sounds a little old school and it's a good thing :yes
Only one "Upbeat track" I'm little desapointed about that :/ At least this album is cohesive. This album will not be revolutionary or fully creative but I think it will be a good one =) Ayu makes what she wants to do and this is a good thing.

really enjoyed the previews.
untitled for her and gloria are most like going to be the weak links (besides MELODY).
Over all I think Im going to enjoy this album as much as I did Love Songs... (since this is pretty much Love Songs part 2)

Thank you! It will be very interesting album) So much more BALLAD`s) XD

O M F G @ glasses, it sounds so awesome

Actually you're not alone!
I don't find these previews so cool or awesome.
It's deja-vu, nothing new, sounds boring.
Bye Bye darling is the one I'm interested in.
I'm waiting for the whole stuff but I'm not gonna to buy it I think.
I need more powerful songs!

^ i do get a dejavu feeling too...lol
everything just sounds soooo weird, i dunno why, however i really really like it, her vocals are really gooooood ♥
"untitled for her..story 2" left the weakest impression. but we'll see.
that would have made a really nice 3rd mini :innocent

lol and as expected Gloria turned into a ballad xD

Ohhh yes more awesome vocal-sampling in 'glasses'. Love it.

This is a great album!!

The end part of the "Gloria" preview reminds me of another ayu song. Sotsugyou Shashin?

Petal sounds amazing. :) Nothing spectacular spectacular, but I don't think this album will disappoint. A little underwhelmed by Untitled 2 though, considering how great the first one was.

hail to the queen, everyone else must bow out and sit down.

eta: "petal" is probably my favorite of the album tracks, but I have to say that Gloria kinda caught my attention. It doesn't sound as generic as Ivy but it still kind of fits in that vibe, a sort of "final" sounding song.

Warning - Spazz up ahead.

CAN SOMEONE GIMME A LOVE SONGS PART 2 SAY WHAAA!!!! SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!! I DEFINITELY NEED TO ORDER THIS!!!

But I think I'll wait until the Hong Kong Versions come out on Yesasia :D

Anyways, I LOVE GLASSES. Seriously, it sounds amazing as an interlude. And SAKURA. OMG.

Judging by the previews and the songs that have been released so far, I'm so impressed with this album!! IF ONLY SHE PULLED A KUU AND MADE A PV FOR EVERY SONG. The ones it has now aren't very impressive, and there'd be wayy more to look forward to

BUT I'M READY. Love again, COME AT ME. FEBRUARY 8, here we goo~~!!

So let down by Gloria and untitled for her... story 2 buy SAKURA was very nice.

Sakura is very beautiful !!! I bursted into tears when i first listened to it

I really like the previews (of the full songs, I don't care about the interludes). Can't wait to listen to the full songs.

the more i listen the more dejavu i get lol

SAKURA - reminds me of Ivy just much better

Bye Bye darling kinda reminds me of "evolution"

petal reminds me of "part of me"

Gloria - Key ~eternal tie ver.~

DeJAVU totally xD

Everything sounds awesome :luv2 Except for the 2 interludes which sound kind of annoying, but I'll wait for the full versions to judge... But the songs sound really good!!

This album seems really promissing :heart

I just heard the previews once.
I have to say I'm also totally unimpressed. I'm afraid some songs will sound like Melody/Ivy, that is to say nice filler tracks.
Petal/glasses sound interesting, that's it.

I don't want another Love songs. Yet I remember I was also unimpressed by its previews. In the end this album is so cohesive it's a real pleasure to listen to the full thing, even if each single track isn't that great.

I hope it will be the case here, or that the full songs will be more than average ballads. Love songs had some variety.
I'm glad I deleted those 2 minis from my playlist... even if I paid for them.

the previews are so exciting!!! Love Songs PT II.. and I get a tiny bit of the Duty vibe from petal! Funny enough, it's so cohesive, I kept getting confused on which song was one big song, or was there a key change? Or was that a song change??
haha

SAKURA is beautiful...

These previews pretty much sound amazing, and work seamlessly with the mini album tracks that have already been released. The only track I'm sort of ambivalent about is Gloria, everything else is pretty ace. This is everything Love Songs could have been but wasn't. Where the writing on Love Songs was confused and awkward, it's all really tight and fluid on this album.

I might possibly like this better than Party Queen and I really friggin' loved that album.

This album is going to be probably lyrically very strong going by what we have so far. Cannot wait for full versions!

:)

I was listenning the previews again, and my favourite is Gloria !
I like petal and SAKURA, and glasses sounds so cool

I really do love these previews aside from the interludes.

I'm excited :)

whoa...dubstep. lol.

i think i like petal the most. and glasses sounds pretty cool too.

I remember that PQ leaked very soon after previews were presented.

^ really? I really can't wait to hear full version of SAKURA. hopefully it's not a generic ballad at all.

If the so called "dub step" genre would not exist, I think people would just call task'n'bass a general electro interlude. DJ Remo-con destroyed the Wake me up remix with his awful dubstep inspired breaks so I want to pretend Avex isn't doing the same with the flow of LOVE again ><

not impressed, I only like petal

The only thing that sounds interesting and catches my attention was "glasses". And it's not even a song...

Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting :)


"Glasses" sounds pretty good, but the interludes are usually pretty strong, I don't have a solid opinion so far, but, I'll wait for the album to come out. Still on the fence about this album. :/

why does everyone like glasses so much lol....it's a bit awkward to me.

^ lol ...personally, I like it because it's really uptempo and I like the vocal samples and it's awkwardness seems to work XD

I like petal the most so far, sounds very lullaby-ish.

strange but those interludes kinda fall out of place for me...

^
same here, the interlude after Sakura,doesnt really fits with the song and glasses sounds interesting but not in the setlist...

^

SAKURA isn't placed before task'n'bass, this is not the album tracklist order... the first half of the album ends with Melody, a mid-tempo ballad, and then task'n'bass opens up for Bye-bye darling, a rockish tune xD


SAKURA Definitely a 5 out of 5 track!
task'n'bass nice.
Bye-bye darling rockish!! loved it
petal reminds me of Marionette
glasses great interlude!
untitled for her... story 2 its takes some time for me to like this kind of ballad
Gloria rly good, but it will take some time to get used to it too (less time than the track above) =)

overall i liked all songs a lot xP cant wait for this album!

I love SAKURA. this album is like Love Songs part 2

I love task'n'bass so much.

And I'm starting to LOVE Gloria. I hope the verses won't ruin the whole song!

this song reminds me of... regge. I don't know, pop regge. Jesus, it reminds me of SOMETHING.

hmm. I like it pretty well. The general sound of the songs is a tiny bit generic, but it's still really good. I didn't dislike any of the songs.

I loved Petal and glasses.

yeah!! thought that too!

I think I'll need to listen to the full songs because I didn't feel them very well with only these previews. :no
