well, congrats YUI

I love the b-sides a lot more anyway xD

As for the new album, I think es.car is pretty cool

Beauty4123 · #5 10th July 2010, 04:27 PM

just heard the album! HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN is such a great album!

my absolute favorite song is es.car, but i looove Driving Happy Life, Kiss Me, Shake My Heart, Please Stay With Me. and Cinnamon. but really, i guess i love the whole album overall

YUI experimented with different sounds and i liked it!

i love all of YUI's albums, so even though i really loved I LOVED YESTERDAY, i won't compare it to this new album. at the end of the day, they're both great

KarenPang · #6 10th July 2010, 04:30 PM

I guess the hiatus worked for her because I detect quite a certain amount of maturity she displayed in HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN & also like what you said , she experiments more which's great <3

my younger sister & I are excited to get the album locally soon

lanfix · #7 12th July 2010, 04:20 PM

I love this new album

My fave track is Please Stay With Me. I'm kinda surprised when read the lyrics...
"I just simply long to see you | And my tears fall because of this… my love | The night drifted, and I convey a sigh | Please Stay With Me..."
Maybe we can consider it as broken heart song

I feel difference between HITS and previous YUI albums.. All new songs sound more mature, and I love YUI with this 'new' style. I'm not saying I compare HITS to another albums, her old works have their own great style and this new one is also same great in different way

About the album duration, I won't say much since TBH I don't really understand about technical things

But in my opinion duration of the album HITS is enough, neither too short or long. Yes the tracks flow is kinda weird with upbeat and slow songs listed randomly

KarenPang · #8 14th July 2010, 11:41 AM

YUI is at #1 today as expected

1st day sales - 67,262

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/

kinda expected that she will get #1 . She already outsell AKB48 almost 3:1

After listened to full album, I kinda disappointed a bit.
I don't like the flow of this album, which is very up and down and so many sudden changes of mood, again and again. (From 'to Mother' to 'GLORIA')
From ballad to upbeat then slower song and then upbeat song again, I think that kind of flow didn't work for me.

Another thing, the album duration is no more than 50 minutes because the song mostly 3 minutes long, only 3 songs that has 4 minutes duration.
Too short for YUI, she can do better. Even though she experiments for every track on this album, still didn't satisfy my taste.

The album ended with Kiss me and it has fade out ending, which is a problem for me. I feel It's all too much is better if it's become the closing song.

The album is better when played shuffle I think, and my favorite track is es.car EPIC!

I think I LOVED YESTERDAY is better than this album.

LOL! 50 minutes is TOO SHORT? Have you looked at the average tracklist for your average album? That's my main problem with a lot of J-Pop records : They're too darn long with a lot pointless filler and songs that sound exactly the same. I'm glad she trimmed it down to a more sensible length.

Just listened to the new album. It's not as good as CAN'T BUY MY LOVE or FROM ME TO YOU but I like it much better than I LOVED YESTERDAY.
My favorite tracks are es.car, I do it, Please Stay With Me and of course the singles (It's all too much & again <3)

Umm...under 50 minutes!? That's quite short of standards - it seems that YUI is more sprint-style kind (some four minutes or less in songs), in contrast to Ayu, Kobukuro and such that they have songs that go to five minutes, maybe even more (such as Ayu's new "MOON" song that takes up five minutes and some 45 seconds), so what's the thing with YUI? A different style there?

Nackar_91 · #14 11th July 2010, 11:54 AM

You take Ayumi and Kobukuro as examples? Writers of some of the most long-stretched songs ever with intros of over 2 minutes and God knows what? Not exactly the right choice XD.

45-50 minutes is a pretty normal length for an album. It might not be long but I definitely wouldn't call it short.

adantatu2 · #15 10th July 2010, 09:09 PM

I'm gonna download now, i can't wait

dreamland2.0 · #16 11th July 2010, 02:38 AM

Just finished listening!
A very solid album! The single tracks are probably my favs but I like Please Stay with Me and Kiss Me and es.car as well!

y_nathz · #17 11th July 2010, 02:18 PM

This is a pretty ok album for me, and uhh.. 45-50 minutes is enough I think, like for example Miyavi's Pops album was only around 43 minutes and it's still a good album
That's just my opinion though~

NintendoHTF1242 · #18 11th July 2010, 02:19 PM

I hope you all realize that all of YUI's albums are under 50 minutes lol.

LOL Buce

anyway people do change musically as people grows older

I don't see anything wrong with it . You can't expect YUI to come up with the same stuff now which's the same as what she released initally when she debuted isn't it ?

if that so then it shows she didn't grow musically in any single bit

I call it short because I'm not used to it, because the average duration for every albums I've listened so far is never below 50 minutes, but your comments makes me feel so guilty and stupid for posting it here, thanks for your compliment anyway.
