I still need a lot of time to listen to all songs many many times, but IMO MOON is the most amazing of all, really epic and one of her best ever. The PV is too simple but I like it.
My second best would be Last Angel, really upbeat and nice, I was really surprised! Not that I lost faith or anything, just that I was really surprised I liked it so much even at first listening, whereas I usually need a lot of time to appreciate a song. I'm listening to it a second time now and it sounds like an epic classic, probably will be my new all-time favourite!!!
Next would be blossom, really refreshing, definitely has the BLUE BIRD spirit!
I need more time for Virgin Road and Sweet Season though, they both look nice but what is actually bothering me is something else. And that's the repetitive themes of two lovers who are unable to live together or are struck by some tragedy and one of them eventually dies (or both). Sweet Season is still much better than Virgin Road IMO. ^^ I have had this feeling since 2008 and this theme is getting really overused and I don't like it anymore... Also the PV of Virgin Road is both very weird and very funny. xD SDW is good but I have to listen to it more, and crossroads is perfect, just the chorus is toooo similar to Kajiura's Akatsuki no Kuruma, I was like wtf, is this Akatsuki no Kuruma?!?!. O.O lol. Probably it's just me, but it's just too similar to it, making it kinda unlistenable for me personally. >.> I'm not implying plagiarism, it must be a coincidence.
I love the song and I think would have been much better with a better chorus, cause this way it sounds like cumulative tension is piling up all the way and is ready to explode any minute, but doesn't and this somehow leaves me a bit disappointed. Does anyone else have this same feeling about crossroads? 0.o Note that the song is absolutely epic, it's only the chorus that bothers me a bit, but I'm sure I will get used to it really quick. ^^''
I have always loved ayu and always will. At the moment I'm back to vocal trance because it reminds me of my childhood a lot, so I have temporarily distanced myself from ayu. XD
Anyway, I love the fact that her voice is okay now, I saw both live performances of crossroads and they are amazing! The orchestra version is as well. =D
