I am a bit indifferent towards the previews. Whether you liked Colours or not, it sounded new. At least for an album in the Ayu discography. But every A ONE preview is a big deja vu. They are bearable, but not blowing away. So.

WARNING: Agree to artcika this is basically Lady Dynamite pt 2. Haven't listen to that song for ages, so I hope the full track of WARNING can bring me back into the mood. Pretty sure the ugly "bdsm" - I do not even want to call - "costumes" (seriously who dressed these people) are for this PV. But, even though I am not excited to see the video, I pray Ayu can turn me on with the song only.
The GIFT: has the most confusing melody ever. It sounds allright, but oh... did I just listen to a chorus? At least this one reminded me of nothing. So, okay, I guess it need to grow on us over time.
NO FUTURE: Also a confusing melody, but less than The GIFT. It's nice though. Reminds me a bit of Naturally or so. No wait it reminded me of something else but I forgot...
Out Of Control: Middle-part Party Queen style, welcome back Call, Letter and Tell me why. When I read the titles here before I gave them a listen, I really thought this one would be rockin' or electro pop. Turns out my expectations were wrong, but whatever.
Show Must Go On: Yep this one is snowy kiss allright. I dislike this preview,, allthough the calm verse was a relievement.
Story: Nice ballad, nice arrangement, nice melody I hear so far. Just nice. Yup nice.

So yeah, I think these songs plus the Zutto single are nice together, but it sounds a bit overdone.
Still care for the full release though. My interest is not gone completely.
