My Comments on A Ballads

Comments on A Ballads by Yazid.
I bought an A Ballads this noon and listen to it for a single round, and then I made these comments as my first fresh opinion on Ayu's A Ballads.

Tracks.
01.Rainbow 02.appears 03.Key ~eternal tie version~ 04.YOU
05.TO BE 06.HANABI 07.M 08.Dearest 09.Dolls 10.SEASONS 11.Voyage 12.A Song for XX 13.WhoE 14.*&%^$ [I can't read nihongo]


Rainbow.
From what I know, the way she sing this song, she enjoy it.

Appears.
Still like before, even the rhythm is quite slow for this verse, it’s still nice but it sounds a lil. bit unenergetic.

Key~eternal tie version~
Okay, no commentsE

YOU
I like the old one, for this album she seems like she sing this song without her feeling being pit into itEcan't feel the sensual influence in this A Ballads. Also her voice didn't sounds like the old YOU. I think this thing maybe because this song was created when she was an enthusiast to someone she really admiring and now she already have her Nagase.

TO BE
Still as good as before but can't feel the song anymore. Maybe the recording was made in the same day with YOU.

Dearest
She really love her Nagase so this song was greatly recorded.

Dolls
Song without feeling. I can't feel it.

SEASONS
Same as Dearest.

Voyage
For me, this is the greatest song recorded in A Ballads because as this is a new song, Ayu seems to sing this song from the depth of her feelings. U can feel her feeling by listening to this song.

A Song for XX
Again, in my opinion, this is the most worst song in this album it's not because the remixing, it's because Ayu sing this song like she hates it. Maybe this song was made dedicated to someone she love long long time ago and now she hate that person so she sing this song like crap*.

*Sorry Ayu, I really need to say this.

Who...
She's smiling while recording this songEeven I only listen to the song, we can differ someone’s voice when they sing while they’re smiling. Maybe because she’s already get her WhoE.

$ӣ%^%***(*)
The title was written in kanji and I can’t read it. I think this song was recorded the in the same day with WhoEbecause she’s still smiling while singing this song.

-Those are all comments from me just opinions.

one more thing the way she sing YOU, shows that she was really proud of herself while she was recording it...

i thought the new vocal style of a song for xx was much suited for the mood of the song. i think it was hte way she intended it since she always sang like this in a concert

hmm... I love the new version of a song for xx. Ayu sings it she will not admit to fate *if you know the meaning to the lyrics* I feel that it's a greatr song to sing when you're mad with something happening in your life -_-
