i dont really like bye bye darling or petal the verses aren't that good neither is the chorus exciting. even sakuras verses are not good but the chorus is ok. i dont like love again as an album, i think ayu needs to stop singing weak sick love songs and do something like my names woman or microphone, i need something to catch my attention or a love song that is strong and powerfull

lol im just getting tired of a constant cycle/ring of sickly sweet love songs. wake me up, missing, song for u, snowy kiss, ivy, sweet scar, melody are ok but dont fully satisfy me as a fan, some of them are missing something

[AyuGAME]

just download SAKURA, i will wait until i got my own copy...to hear the rest of the track album.

It's as good as i thought it would be...LOVE SAKURA! I really like the verse part...also the chorus is amazing

[cosmicfirefly]

I love all of the songs so far, though I'm not liking untitled for her...story 2 that much, maybe it will grow on me

A lot of my favorite Ayu songs come from her later albums, as I can't stand her voice in some of her earlier albums (ie. A Song for XX and part of LOVEppears)

I can also be sometimes called a sourpuss or and Ayu snob, as I detest some of Ayumi's most popular work like "Dearest", "Endless Sorrow", and "No way to say".

I do miss Ayu's tracks that had rockier feel to them, like "1 LOVE", "About You", "is this LOVE?", "Microphone", "my name's WOMEN", "GAME", and "I am". When I first heard "talkin' 2 myself", it was slightly off-putting. Now it is one of by favorite tracks from GUILTY. "Naturally" was one of the first Ayu songs I've ever heard, and it really cannot get more perfect.

I can see how this can be your least favorite Ayu album. With all these medium ballads, it's like Love songs II. I wish she threw a track that sounded like "About You" in here.

That being said, how could you dislike "sending mail" and "Last angel"?

oh man, I actually agree completely with yours and Zeke's taste and preference for Ayu songs with attitude. Those both you and he mentioned are some of the most fierce in her discog, and are a definite mood antithesis from what LOVE again is sounding to be. I think I'm just ridiculously easy to please when it comes to Ayu sometimes -- while I love her fierce songs, I can't really object to the midtempo softer stuff. I'm eager for songs like 1 LOVE, is this LOVE?, (miss)understood, etc. but I'm happy with what I'm getting. That isn't to say you guys aren't, only that Ayu's music is, for me, an all you can eat buffet and I'm getting fatty mcfatfat off it lol

[love in music]

loving all the songs and her voice. her voice sounds so pretty and free of vibrato, i love it. petal = perfection

[Delicious n Bold]

I personally can go both ways, with attitude songs and midtempos.
When I'm at home relaxing, I play midtempos
When I'm walking, it's upbeat songs... Most of the time

[Zeke.]

I do have love for all types and it's mainly dependent on mood which is heavily influenced by the time of year/time of day/weather.

[henrique]

How Ivy and Sakura, two masterpieces could be in the same album.....its just too much..

[khan5]

though i dont love the album, ill still listen to it and kinda over play it but ill continue to hope for ayumi to release fierce/powrfull music in the future

[AyUmIXx]

OMGGG i love what i'm hearing so far..
SAKURA, petal <3333333

[yamadashun]

the opening of petal reminds me of Miyazaki Hayao o_0

[Delicious n Bold]

Dont mean to repeat myself or anything but im really thankful for the new songs because im in a state where midtempos are the only thing that will make me feel better.
something calming. something sweet.
like, untitled 2's opening just makes me feel amazing.

[happiholic★]

I forgot this was being released. I'm a bad fan

[Jawdarna]

Listening to the leaked tracks, I think I've finally outgrown Ayu.

I don't even want to re-listen to them. :/

[dreamlover13]

I think Ayu should make a diss track.

[Bad Wolf]

^Like her insulting people?

[Kirshwasser]

sakura is very sweet... i cant wait for the better quality one
