All in all I'm really surprised about MADE IN JAPAN. I didn't expect that I would like every song and I love listening to it from the beginning to the end. There is just not one song that I would skip. I became an Ayu fan when NEXT LEVEL was released and I became obsessed with it. So I listened to all the older stuff and I was so excited with every album so far. Then the newer stuff came out and though I like every album from Rock'n'Roll Circus to A ONE I was just not so excited with them as I was with her music before. I was already worried that I missed her best times but then she released sixxxxxx which I really liked a lot (except for the title lol) and then THIS and she drew me back with full force. I'm so happy!

I love that intro so hard. Someone here mentioned that she or he felt like being pulled into another world while listening to it and I agree with that statement so much. I felt like Ayu was luring me into her MADE IN JAPAN world lol. It's one of my favorite intros ever.
5/5
FLOWER
It's definitely my favorite song. I love the darker Ayu rock music stuff and this one reminds me so much of Decision which is also one of my favorite songs ever. The Japanese instruments in it fit so nicely and I don't know. I'm listening to it all the time.
5/5
Mad World
Mad World is also one of my favorites. Hope for a PV here. Can't really say what I like about it so much but I love it.
5/5
Breakdown
Sounds a lot like Shape of love to me but I don't care since I loved Shape of love to death. However, the ending of Breakdown is pure bliss. I love that the songs builds up and you are expecting so much and then she finishes it with the "kono mama". Amazing!
4/5
Survivor
Might be my second favorite song. As some members here already said the chanting sounds quite odd but I still like it because it fits the overall feeling of the song. I love the lyrics and the message and for me it's just epic. And it's also fun listening to.

You are the only one
I like the bagpipes. It's a typical Ayu ballad I think but it gets so god after three minutes. I'm sure I will listen to it a lot.

I'm not sure if I will listen to it often but it's still a very good song.

Mr.Darling
Probably my least favorite song from the Album. The chorus is slightly annoying but I like it nonetheless. Won't listen to it much in the future though.
3/5
Summer Love
That song is also so much fun to listen to! I also was slightly irritated at the chorus when I listened to it the first time but once you get used to it it's actually so much fun. Love that song!
