つい先日台湾で撮影して来たばかりのWinter diaryのMVがなんと‼︎本日19時より公開になります‼︎衝撃的な真っ白い冬のストーリーを見逃すな っ☆

Hmm Ayu's tweet says "Winter diary's MV will be made public at 19h". They should've included the word 'preview' in there somewhere. Can't blame AyuAngel. I thought they meant full PV too.

Anyway. Looking forward to seeing the full thing.. someday

[TheRainbow]

I love the new version of Out of control; it feels like SEASONS from A Classical, but better!

[Aderianu]

[Lilly]

The classicals arrangements are so good! They actually made Step by step sound more cheerful. Sorrows is finally as epic as it should be, though her voice is a bit low on it. This is her best classical album in years imo. I don't like the pv teaser for winter diary. As somenone already said, it's the 2015 version of virgin road.

[TheRainbow]

Yeah, Sorrows, The GIFT and TSMGO suffer from low vocals.

yess and it is sooo obvious in TSMGO omg I cant even

should have been replaced by Shape of Love

other than that, Warning is badasssss!! and I may be the few ones who love Sky High in the album and I love it more here hahah . Step by Step, Summer, Last Minute are also good!

The Gift though,still boring

[YukiUsagi]

I like the MV, but still don't like this album, never listen again.

[indigochild]

They realllly should not have chosen TSMGO to have a classical arrangement. It's a freakin mess *Delete*

[jiarongisme]

So the PV includes murder and a bank robbery (or is that a jewelry heist?). LOVE IT.

I thought it was just gonna be a PV about Ayu and Shu-ya having fun in Taiwan like Summer diary but I guess not. Who knew the kiss in the rain could lead to murder.

[KarenPang]

I'm still a bit sore that Story and Shape of love didn't have Classical treatments :x

If not it would have been better but oh well you can't have everything

[jiarongisme]

Oh my god WARNING's rearrangement is so badass. Why does Out of control sound so positive though lmao. Also, I hate that the vocals are so drowned out. Why is it so soft?!

The chorus of Winter diary kinda reminds me of Sky high for some reason. It's pleasant to listen to I guess.

[pimenta]

Damn, I love everything
I just love classical albums so much, and this was is really amazing imo!

But I am probably gonna try to edit Sorrows to make the vocals louder later, that's my only problem with the album, the rest if perfect. Even songs I didn't care much about I'm now loving the classical version. I'm kinda glad TSMGO was toned down though, makes it much more listenable.

Winter diary sounds cute and happy and I really like it as well.

[TheRainbow]

WARNING really is good, great opener.

[Surreal17]

WARNING - sounds like an adventure/fantasy theme track; Lord of The Rings vibe lol
Step by step - holiday-ish
Sorrows - theatrical, aerial
Last minute - mix style between Sorrows and WARNING
Summer diary - baroque style, makes me think of "montage"
Sky High - cheerful, reminds me of Harry Potter's Great Hall's scenes
NO FUTURE - tango/baroque vibes (am I the only one who hears this?), cirque-like-style
Out of Control - I can't remember it; it was kinda calm?
The GIFT - ethereal prologue and epilogue of the song
The Show Must Go On - that cello/violin/strings bridge is amazing

I think of Lord of the Rings while listening to WARNING too! Something like:



Saw someone mention Story then have I just realized that it is not included. I would have Out of control swap with Story.

As for the teaser, Winter diary = Virgin road + glitter ~Taiwan version~
