Yes its disappointing but really...how many songs do you think they could come up with from Jan till now. Last year was totally spent for her 10th anniversary...it was her 'break' from releases....

I think we should already be glad we HAVE this album...she could have taken much longer to do it. (and somehow, Im guessing that's what most people want..so we can get more new songs)

sadly..THOSE SONGS HAVE NO BRIDGES!!!

@Coela....Oo ok. I see. Sad for us then. Ayu has really slowed down these years. From (m)u she has had lesser Album tracks. and from there on, 2 singles a year.

Some comments so far at Japanese BBS:

- "Seems like electro-rock this time."
- "Indeed the NEXT LEVEL!"
- "'LOVE 'n' HATE' is my favorite."
- "How she sings EnergizE seems different."

Wow...thats really fast. Seem like good reviews. Do you mind updating hahaha..i love to read what the japanese have to say about it.

anyway, those who love GUILTY really know that quality prevails quantity. furthermore, her singles leading to this album have been really great. I don't worry abt it at all. Rule and Sparkle still seem new to me. THey were just released earlier...(which is normal for promotional songs right?...Like Kumi's faraway PV..leaking last week)

Bridge to the sky
disco-munication
Load of the SHUGYO
Pieces of SEVEN

... Bridge to the sky was kind of expected from the start.. disco-munication would make a nice title for a song Sigh.......

Nevertheless i'll still anticipate the album, given what those who had heard the songs comment. Electro-rock huh..

Well, 1 intro and 3 interludes at least aren't 5, which could have also been a possiblity. I understand that they're used for transitions and "GUILTY" having 3 interludes has probably the best usage of interludes so far, but "A Song for XX" and "Duty" managed having no interludes yet still flow well. If ayu would compose them herself, it would be a little different, because it would be part of her personal work. I'm quite sure that she has some say as to the sound, but it would be nice if she could (co-)compose and/or (co-)arrange at least some of them, if she's going to include a large amount. ("WONDERLAND" is awesome.)

It would be nice if at least one interlude could have some lyrics. "Disco-munication" sounded as if it would be a song with great lyrics. It would be a pity to not use the wordplay. With "Pieces of SEVEN" I wondered what the number might be refering to. Colours of the rainbow? Weekdays? Then I thought that it might refer to her 7 year long relationship with Nagase. With that in mind I got really curious what kind of interlude (or song) it would turn out to be.

"rollin' seems like dark pop, similar to everywhere nowhere, though unremarkable."
"LOVE 'n' HATE has great lyrics."
"identity, seems similar to 1LOVE, melody seems old-fashioned."
"EnergizE feels like Morning Musume..."

Not sure people are exactly wowed by the songs though. I think there's some negative reactions to the new sound..

Load of the SHUGYO - wtf??
Pieces of SEVEN - sounds so sweet as title.. (it wont be a SONG!!)

aww that's too bad! I was hoping that there would be more songs! Especially because there is only one song NEXT LEVEL and then an interlude disco-munication
oh well I'm sure the songs will be great!

I think that most of us predicted that there is going to be 4 interludes - 7 new songs is good enough for me didn't really expect any more or less.
