MADE IN JAPAN song opinions!

[Ruan Borges]

tasky - 5/5 - Amazing intro for the album, love the Pagan Poetry sample, the oriental sound and the progression that turns into an EDM piece.

FLOWER - 5/5 - Loved this song so much, the japanese style that she sings during the chorus. The song gets dark and rock-ish, just perfect!

Mad World - 5/5 - Damn, this song works so well right after FLOWER, love the instrumentals, her vocals, guitars, everething on point.

Breakdown - 5/5 - Song gave me sixxxxxx vibes, and that's great, it's so powerful, the guitars at the end, and how the song ends with a feeling that makes you want more of it is priceless.

Survivor - 5/5 - PURE LOVE. So amazed by this track, it's bold, cirque du solei-esque, it deserves a PV. I can't wait for the performance at the new tour.

You are the only one - 5/5 - What a beautiful song, starts so relaxing and fresh, towards the end it gets so grand and epic, and those are some stunning vocals from ayu.

TODAY - 3.5/5 - Good song, generic jpop, but it works fine, and it's growing on me.

Mr.Darling - 4/5 - Also a grower, just a little repetitive, but I really like the melody and the instrumental, need to listen more!

Summer Love - 2.5/5 - I have to say that I disliked the song on the first listen -and I LOVE all of ayu's EDM songs - but it gets better after a few more plays, I hope it grows ever more on me too.

Overall it's a great album, very solid. It's her most expressive album since Party Queen IMO. It's really good to see ayumi trying new things, exploring new sounds. I wish it had more songs, but I'm happy with Many classic moments as bonus track, it works well with Summer Love.
