I can see Summer Love~You&Me being a regular staple at a-nation.

I think she's reached the point we've been waiting for tbh.

I don't know how anyone can listen to Survivor; I was literally laughing hysterically from how absurd those chants sounded to me. But to each his own I guess. I perceive it as being like something you would hear at The Lion King on broadway. In Mufasa's lair or something. Or even in the Jungle Book. It's very jungle.

truehappiness · #**267** 11th May 2016, 05:56 AM

I am sure she saw The Lion King in Vegas and thought of that.

Good that my wallet isn't aware how much I'm goona spend to buy them

That's true. I wouldn't buy digital version myself (if there would be no physical release), because I see no reason to pay for something available for free.

RealLight · #**269** 11th May 2016, 06:00 AM

I just listened to it again, so far the ones I really like are tasky, You are the only one and Summer Love. Imma talk about each track later cus all of this left me really tired.

truehappiness · #**270** 11th May 2016, 06:01 AM

I am so glad she pulled another monochrome at the end of Breakdown.

And that take of her voice in basically a capella is so smooth and pure. It's miles better than her a capella in the album version of RED LINE.

Downloading now. I'm still in shock. Can't believe she did this! Lemonade indeed.

xLuna&1LOVE · #**273** 11th May 2016, 06:07 AM

I enjoy the new album, overall it is really good.
Not much to complain about, actually. Some songs are my cup of tea and others are not.
I like FLOWER the best.

Coelacanth · #**274** 11th May 2016, 06:10 AM

—Mr. Darling

(love the album btw)

AyuCanada · #**275** 11th May 2016, 06:17 AM

SUMMER LOVE makes me think like Old Kylie Minogue Remixed hihihi
~By the way it is my first post on the forum ^^~

freedreamer · #**276** 11th May 2016, 06:17 AM

Breakdown's break down at the end was so epic. I love it when she does things like that! It makes the song so meaningful not just from the lyrics but from the actual properties of the song. and Yes...now that someone has mentioned, it DOES remind me of Shape of love. It feels like she is calling out but the transmission just dies at the end, into a scrambled beautiful mess. The final acapella line feels so lonely too. Very clever song

Now all I'm waiting for is tenshi_no_hane's translations HAHAHA

SunshineSlayer · #**277** 11th May 2016, 06:18 AM

I've just listened to the first 3 tracks and am pretty blown away. This feels alot like "old Ayu" in many ways - its fairly experimental with great melodies. I'm loving the sound of these songs so far. The last album I completely loved from start to finish was Love Songs, maybe this one now can be added to that list?

Well... The Lion King is a rip from Kimba The White Lion... so it is... kinda MADE IN JAPAN

mellody · #**279** 11th May 2016, 06:22 AM

OH MY GOD. Feels like having a spiritual experience listening to this new album.

But, tasky kinda remind me to this song, FOR REAL.

Anyone played Deemo? That's where the song come from.

I still like tasky a lot though.

Yumsushi · #**280** 11th May 2016, 06:24 AM

Tasky was amazing
Flower has alot of great emotion.
Mad Love was amazing
Breakdown was Shape of Love and Ballad's beautiful child
Like Zeke said I too cracked up at Survivor (was she actually whispering Jungle?)
Her Vibrato in You are the only one was odd and it took me like a few seconds to realize she was actually saying you're the only one lol but it wasnt horribly jarring overall
Today is the album's weakest song. I couldn't even sit through it all.
I almost skipped Mr Darling too but the chorus is really cute
Summer Love started out really promising but that drastic change at the chorus didnt work for me. It might grow on me later

Overall, I'm disappointed the traditional Japanese instruments in the first 2 songs didn't make it into most tracks, but overall with only 1 cringeworthy song and the addition of Many Classic moments I have to say this is the first album in so long that I enjoyed almost fully. Thank you Ayu for not including Winter Diary.
