i wouldn't mind a best!

also, loving the album, I really really like Body, BAILA BAILA (that song is a guilty please) and of course the english version of groovy x2.

LOVE MACHINE GUN is nice, but i'd prefer it to be less rocky :x

I think it is a little to earlier for her doing a best album and I don't want her doing it, but since she works into japanese music industry, and we all know how it works around there, so I think is not impossible ^^.

from the first listen album is alright. nothing amazing, but good. Ima demo aitai yo and brand new world are stand outs for me. love you and this two groovyx2 songs i find the weakest. other songs are average. i need few more listens to maybe like somethin more or less, its totally summerish album, thats too obvious in baila baila song.
oh and i love the covers!

Well if you listen to the album you'll see why Mafuyu no Seiza was not included. GATE also.

Yeah I wish THE LOVE MACHINE GUN would be more danceish or urban rather than rockish, but nice song anyway.

so i just finished the album. it wasn't bad, honestly. i loved each track except for "love you" and "BAILA BAILA", lol. but i think i still prefer WISH overall. i'll listen to DREAM more throughout the week, so i think it'll grow on me.

it's a bit too early for that imo Mishelle

then again YUI did it , well sorta & ironically both Yuna & YUI are in STUDIOSEVEN Recordings so maybe yes ?

I just downloaded the album , will listen to the new album tracks later on when I go to school

should be an easy task for me to review Dream in due time

Yuna co-wrote and co-composed Body.FromUta-Net I'm so happy she contributed to this album even if it's just with two songs.

Okay, I just got around listening to DREAM... hmm one sentence I would use for DREAM is:

"Filled with meh tracks, but at least they're not boring."

I think that's the problem with Yuna... in her past 2 albums, there were some good songs, which are all singles, and the album tracks suck big time, except a few. Because they are so damn boring and draggy!

This time, Yuna took a different direction... a more upbeat album, which I thought was quite well.

I think the ballads still rock the most lol, trust you and miss you and No one else are stellar.

And is it just me, or are the drum beats in the start of LOVE MACHINE GUN exactly like Kuu's Run For Your Life???

In any case, DREAM is her best album so far, though the album tracks still need to be tweaked so they become more than meh.

Thank God the boring ballads from WISH/HEART have all disappeared!

My ranking of the songs:
1) miss you
2) trust you
3) No one else
4) Ima demo aitai yo...
5) BREEEZIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6) Koi wa groovy x2
7) LOVE MACHINE GUN
8) BAILA BAILA
9) Body
10) Brand New World
11) love you

So I am listening to the album as I type xD It surely is better than the previous 2, even though the single tracks are generally weaker than of HEART and WISH, it seems Yuna learned a lesson when it comes to her album tracks, so the album at least isn't full of fillers. Ima demo aitaiyo, Brand New World and LOVE MACHINE GUN are all cool. I didn't like miss you before, now I do, even though the aitakutte aitakutte part reminds me of Days. I can survive BAILA BAILA and BREEEEZIN! even though they are pretty plain. I still dislike trust you and No one else is pretty boring. Koiwa groovyx2 and groovyx2 are great ^^ Over all, while Yuna has made progress from her previous albums, especially WISH, her music is still very plain and packed with random English phrases that at times sound really dumb and annoying in my opinion. Body is by far the worst song on the album next to No one else. A nice pop album, nothing impressive though, most of the songs could be sang by just anyone. She needs to work on herself as an artist a bit, else she'll never stick out.

EDIT: finally finished listening to the songs.
Fav is 今でも 会いたいよ・・・ feat. Spontania then LMG.
BAILA BAILA sounds better than in preview.

Overall i think this is a 'relax' happy album... I dont really like the way the last few songs were placed.. no one else and body is rather less exciting and then jumps to the groovy.. i think it's rather contrasting.

oh that's cool , thanks Mishelle

I have cut up Body & separated it from groovy x2 because I can't stand the thought of both songs being 'stuck' together & the waiting gap's a bit too much for me to handle

If you want to download it , you can do so as soon as I uploaded it in the Asian Media Downloads section

LMAO sorry I just realised that too xD xD xD

I'm still uploading the 2 songs as I don't like the thought of waiting about 1 1/2 mins + from Body to groovy x2 so I thought why not ?
