Okay so after spamming the album for quite some time
Feel the love - I didn't think this song was all that the first time I heard it. But it gradually grew onto me. This is an EDM sound that I don't think anybody else in the music industry could pull off. That's why I like it so much. It's catchy and DJ Hello Kitty knew exactly what he/she was doing with the production work. 4/5
XOXO - Even though this song has the typical RedOne flair going on, Ayu still takes it and owns it. Very catchy song and the production work is top-notch! 4/5
What is forever love - I love DAISHI DANCE's productions. So I knew already that I was going to love the shit out of this song. Urata and Ayu sound PERFECT in this track! I absolutely love Urata's vocals in this song. He needs to make more music like this. Perfect track. 5/5
Hello new me - I can't stand this song lol 1/5
Pray - This song grew onto me a lot! One of Ayu's most gorgeous ballads. Love the part near the end that sounds like the piano chords in HANABI. 5/5
Terminal - LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT! But Ayu's vocals are a little unbearable at times... But holy shit when she sings, "Kimi ni..." <3 4/5
Angel - My second least favorite song on this album. It's pretty much Wrecking Ball but with different vocals and music layering. Ayu's voice is just unbearable at this point. I do give her some credit because the chorus is catchy. 2/5
Merry-go-round - This song sparked my interest back into Ayu when it was first released last year. Gorgeous, flawless song. Acoustic version soon, plz Ayu. 5/5
Lelio - This song is on fire! And I constantly fucking sing it every single minute of the day someone send me help. 5/5
NOW & 4EVA - Run-of-the-mill Ayu pop song. Really bland, tbh. It's a good album ending though. 3/5
I ended up loving this album a lot, which doesn't surprise me because I was really interested in all the producers she decided to work with on this album. It was a great change-up from that peach pastel + ballads bullshit she was putting us through. Ayu should definitely look into making more tracks and maybe even re-use some of them (looking at you Armin and DAISHI DANCE).
My only complaints are Hello new me/Angel; and the transition from Pray into Terminal is awful.
