WOW I am very very impressed!! Like I'm in shock and also very happy about these songs.
Sorrows was giving me GUILTY vibes, Shape of Love sounds like... It really gives me post-Duty pre I am vibes but also reminds me of Petal although sounding way less cheap and as a result sounds even better. Sky High is what No Future tried to be. It does feel like it's rehashed almost but it's so nostalgic and it feels like it's something new as well. I can't put my finger on it.


I'm actually really happy I got the cd. I felt like, before listening to the previews, that the last three songs would be standard affair and such but it didn't really turn out to be the case. Ayu delivered I think. I've already forgotten what SBS sounds like. Everytime I try to recall the chorus I get 'ato choudo mou choudo' or whatever it is from Pray's chorus. So I'm really glad ayu saved the best for last. I'm proud to be her fan!

Edit: wait now I see! People are saying Shape of Love sounds like it's from Ayu's magnum opus and album to which people only ever listen for the lyrics ASFXX. I really get ASFXX vibes from it too. Or maybe it just reminds me of the first few albums from her career mashed in one song.
