I hope the Japanese would love these new songs. I mean, they're so not experimental in any way and its just the classic jpopayu sound. it's such a sweet combination

The more I listen, the more the 7 new songs meld together to make Love songs part 2.
Not a bad thing, though. I think that ayu wanted to play it safe.
I think Sakura and petals will be my favourite new songs. Coupled with ivy, ayu is a poor man's botanist.

petal and Gloria...

The impression left on me by the others isn't so great. However, I'll leave further judgement until I actually hear them in full. xD

SAKURA deserves a PV HAHA! though i envision everything to be in slow-mo somehow. Ayu releasing doves into the sky in slow-mo...

^ They definitely deserve PVs. It's kind of bizarre, listening now, as to why at least one didn't receive one.

petal sounds like the love child of SCAR and Pride.

Here's a MediaFire link for the new track previews.
Nice previews indeed. This album sounds a bit more rockish than anything in a while imo. I usually really hate this midtempo Ayu too, but this album sounds pretty decent. I already get this certain MY STORY vibe from it.

OMG!!! I love all the previews!! It's definitely very ayu-ish. the jpop sound i came to love in the first place. the songs are pretty similar to love songs album songs but imo i think they are even better.
judging from all the released songs and previews. its gonna be an awesome album!

Sakura is amazing!!
Cant wait to hear the full song!!

all the previews sound AMAZING!!!
I wonder what happened to the RnB sounding preview we got from CDL?

after listening to it a few times the best one sounds like it will be sakura.
glasses is sooooo.... interesting... I want to hear the rest of it.
untitled for her and Gloria seem flat... I need to listen to the whole songs.

Gloria is the one we heard from outside the venue at CDL. It's the only preview I allowed myself to listen to now that they have been officially released, since I already heard that clip.

petal sample lyrics by ear

好き嫌い、好き嫌い
一枚ずつ散って
最後に残るひとひらが
好きな方であるといいのですか

suki kirai, suki kirai
ichimai zutsu chitte
saigo ni nokoru hitohira ga
suki na hou de aru to ii no desu ka

"To love him, to love him not"
Scattered, one by one
I wonder if the last remaining petal
Will be the one I love? (lit. like)


Totally fixed these. I got it now. hahaha

So there you go. There's my interpretation. Still don't know if it's "ka" or "ga" at the end though.

My roommate just blew my mind and suggested these lyrics are coming from the point of view of the flower being plucked rather than the person plucking the flower. Suggesting that the flower is in fact wondering if the last petal left will be the one the person plucking will love. Mind blown.

i always wonder about stuff like this...
Some ayumi songs sound like they are coming from her lover and not her singing about her lover... (for this example the flower.)

Interesting lyrics! This album has pretty different styles of lyrics, i guess it does show ayu's creativity in writing after all. She can wrote many things abt love

Can you do Sakura please? I love that preview

I love the way this album's shaping up to be. The complaints about it being too much like Love songs don't really register to me, since I think Love songs is honestly her best album. It's coherent, cohesive, and it shows the growth of her voice. I'm also getting a classic Ayu vibe from this, though. Musically it reminds me of a mix of stuff I heard waaay back on LOVEppears, even if her voice is totally different. Hell, I even hear some ASFXX on here (reminding me of POWDER SNOW and For my dear...).

I might save up to buy this, actually.

I don't think I could take an Engrish ayu song seriously.

Wow, SAKURA is flawless! At least from the preview.
I like them all tbh. Gloria seems it could fit perfectly on MY STORY.
