I was only mildly excited for the album before, but now I'm really looking forward to it. I don't even know which preview is my favourite so far: Kaela Kimura's FACES PLACES sounds really good so far, hitomi's Anytime smokin' cigarette is super cool and I can't wait to hear the rest, GReeeeN's FACE is really faithful to the original and I LOVE the original, HYDE's DEPARTURES sounds awesome, TRF's cover sounds epic (which I NEVER expected)... and I like Ayu's Many Classic Moments very much, but honestly, it tries too hard to match the original and so far it sounds like it just can't, despite Ayu doing her best Keiko impression, because the original is just magic. I honestly do like Ayu's version a lot so far, but the original >>>>>>>

I really agree with you this cover album seems really well made !! Like I have already said globe is among my top 3 (just after Nana Mizuki & Ayu) so I know every of their songs and I've a special attachment in regard to Keiko's voice and her unmatchable emotions so it's really difficult honestly to be objective but none of them are better than the originals for me but regarding music arrangements it's another story I don't know who made them but some songs are really well upgraded like Anytime smokin’ cigarette, wanna Be A Dreammaker or SWEET PAIN !
In regard to Ayu cover I'm just like you I really like it but something is missing I don't know it's like she didn't put enough of her emotions into it ? I will wait for the rest of the song but I'm not 100% satisfied with it ...I am a bit disappointed because I think that Ayu was the best choice to cover a globe song since her voice has always been similar to Keiko ... yet something is missing ...
