14th NEW ALBUM『LOVE again』 tracklist & covers!

[truehappiness]

K-pop has a much higher quality in general.

Unfortunately, IMO, it's because there's a lack of quality elsewhere, but that's just me. A lot of it tends to be same-y though. I find that Chinese and Korean albums are always pretty big on the 'design' front, but then when it comes to the actual albums, it's not really all that great compared to Japanese ones. (design-wise, like an album that comes in a rubber CD case that slides out when you squeeze it or something, or a ziploc'd sealed case that has 3 photobooks in it or a book (literally) that has the album hanging in a sleeve at the end)

'Correctly' is defined by what's on the album.

I mean P.S II is correct so why not untitled for her... story 2?

Also in regards to the flow of the album, it seems like it'll be her usual flow?

01. Wake me up
02. Song 4 u
03. Missing - kind of upbeat section in the intro a la (miss)understood
--------------
04. SAKURA
05. Melody - midtempo ballad section somewhat like Sunset/Last Links
---------------
06. task'n'bass
07. Bye-bye darling
08. snowy kiss - heavy rock perhaps? The middle of the album is usually where Ayu puts the 'odd' tracks
----------------
09. Sweet scar
10. petal
11. glasses
12. untitled for her... story 2
13. Gloria
14. Ivy - ballad section like MY STORY?
----------------
15. You & Me - ending with 'upbeat' like MY STORY or Duty

Lyrically, it looks like the album tells a bit of a story but then You & Me is a bit of a 'bonus track' in that sense. Wonder why it was last instead of first since the 'break up' seems to happen mid-album.

That is kind of a badass way of titling a sequel though. It's as if HANABI～episode II～ would have been hanabi episode 2... that would just be stupid, lol.

Fond memories, perhaps? In the sense that although things did go wrong there were good times also.



Feeling quite glad that I didn't bother with the JP press for LOVE and again. I only ordered them 2-3 days ago too - probably should have waited to see the tracklist for this first. Oh well. Lesson learned for next time.

You can still use those for the codes when the 5th release comes out if you get A Classical!

I'm not a fan of remixes so I won't be buying A Classical.

IMO, MY STORY Classical was much more than just a remix album. Hope we get previews for it soon since the reinterpretation is so much more 'out there' than on her usual remix albums.
