Initial thoughts~~
tasky - 5/5
Fantastic to have tasking back! Great Japanese sound. Makes me think of Pieces of SEVEN.
FLOWER - 5/5
Last Minute part 3, Sorrows part 2, with a Japanese tint.
Mad World - 5/5
An all-around fantastic song.
Breakdown - 3/5
petal part 2? Kinda bland. Very "A ONE" x "LOVE again". Good vocal performance though. I'd love to see the lyrics.
Survivor - 5/5
F-CK YES! A unique song! Yay for semi-experimental Ayu!
-1 for clearly hearing Tim's song, but whatever. Fantastic song. Very modern-Japanese.
You are the only one - 4/5
OMG Loreena McKennitt makes an appearance.
TODAY - 3/5
Where have I heard those HAAAHAALALALALAS before...?
This song is about 2 minutes too long..I felt like skipping it. The verses are nice though, and the intro is beautiful.
Mr.Darling - 3/5
"Out of control" x "Last links". It's a nice album addition, but a lil' forgettable and safe. What are the lyrics?
Summer Love - 4/5
The chorus is trash but I love experimental Ayu!! Woo!
Overall, truehappiness predicted correctly that this would still be "safe Ayu", although I might feel that way because currently I'm using a black-and-white fan-cover. It's a bit hard to say how this is going to turn out fully.
Still, I love this album much more than A ONE and sixxxxxx.
