Ahah I always find it incredible how differently we all hear songs (if it makes any sense). Love n hate and Kiss o kill are totally different for me, and I couldn't say Love'n'Hate is anything "usual" for Ayu !
I think NOW & 4EVA is definitely in the same vein as Love'n'Hate and kiss'o'kill. It feels like a total album track near the end of the record with a somewhat-fun twist compared to the rest of the album. The theme really fits, and that was my first impression from the preview as well.

I'm a little concerned about Pray being included on the record since it would stick out, honestly, as "the random dull track" on this album.

The only song I'm a bit put off by is Angel. She's not keeping with the rhythm while singing, and I almost wish they did not do dubstep for those lyrics. They seem like they would sound better over over less noisy production.

I am EXTREMELY excited for Terminal. It sounds like the snowy kiss/Return Road/BRILLANTE/Last angel of the album. You know, that one track that she pours out some serious emotion/secret back story into on her more recent records.

Overall, the record sounds like a club record so far. Not so much sad stuff in it compared to most of her records since RnRC. This will be an interesting album. That said, I'm not sure if I will really, really like it. I like Ayu's trademark sound, and this may end up being too sharp of a difference in the style of music she's done for me to feel like this album really fills my want for music only Ayu seems to make well.
