I agree Sorrows will probably sound a lot better live, just like Last minute did.

[adantatu2]

My order would be:

1. Step by Step
2. Sayounara
3. Sorrows
4. Shape of Love
5. Summer diary
6. The other song that starts with S.

[DavidChaiLatte]

Am I the only one who's obsessed with Sky High? Lol The melody of the song kind of reminds me of some Every Little Thing songs and decent anime themes.

[LONJJONG]

I love the entire album. After Sky high, I was like eh? It's the last track? Then replay the album again.

[yamadashun]

I feel it is hard for me to rank the songs in sixxxxxx but after a few weeks of listening, I get the answer by checking my playing times in iTunes:

1) Sorrows
2) Summer diary
3) Sky high
4) Shape of love
5) Step by step
6) Sayonara

[RealLight]

Mine would be:

1 Shape of love
2 Sayonara
3 Step by step
4 Sorrows
5 Summer diary / Sky high

[Benikari47]

I like all of the songs on the mini surprisingly, but this is my order!

1. Shape of Love
2. Summer Diary
3. Sayonara
4. Sky High
5. Step by Step
6. Sorrows

I am so, so mad that Sorrows also suffers from what I'm going to call "Last minute syndrome". The potential is there, is really is--her vocals are on point and the lyrics are great, I don't have a problem with the melody, but oh my god listening to the studio version of this song is like nails on a goddamn chalkboard (AND WHY ARE HER BACKING VOCALS SO LOUD, IT'S NOT EVEN LIKE NAOKI YAMADA MIXED IT) I think it's going to be totally epic done live but the studio version is dead2me tbh

And what is the deal with the cheesy-ass synth hiding in Step by step/Sky high? So much of the actual music sounds so...superficial and manufactured. (Like, more than usual.) Summer diary is undoubtedly the standout track from sixxxxxx imo.

[Delicious n Bold]

^ Yaaas stan for Summer diary. It's the track we didn't expect to be the best.

I'm also interested in what Sorrows would sound like live. Praying she sings it one day and that it doesn't get kanariya'ed.

[TeddyGrahams]

I agree with the potential of sorrows, it would be an amazing live song. Maybe the live version will make more ppl like it, like how wake me up did for me.

Anyways my rankings are
1. Summer diary
2. Shape of love
3. Step by Step
4. Sayonara
5. Sky high
6. Sorrows

I haven't been playing a song (summer diary) over and over on repeat since like progress.

[ayu-michan]

Sorrows is a pretty mediocre song if you're talking about arrangement, but the lyrics... Oh god the lyrics take me on a good feels trip. It's been a very, very long time since I felt this connected with Ayu through a new song.

[Yannetakizawa]

What she said about shu-ya?

Thk u

[oaristos]

My top would be something like:

1. Summer diary
2. Sayonara
3. Shape of Love
4. Step by step
5. Sorrows
6. Sky high

I love all the tracks tough. I don't usually listen to Sorrows very often because it doesn't fit my mood lately.

[TheRainbow]

For today:

1. Summer diary
2. Step by step
3. Sayonara
4. Sorrows
5. Sky high
6. Shape of love

I like everything as well.

[Corvina]

My ranking:
1. Summer diary
2. Shape of Love
3. Step by step
4. Sorrows
5. Sayonara
6. Sky high

Though I actually just listen to the first 4.
I like Sayonara, but it's length without any progression or highlight bothers me, so I never listen to it.

[rainbow_smile]

I guess my ranking would be like this:

1. Shape of love
2. Sorrows (would be #1 together with SOL if it weren't for the awkward DJ sound in the bridge)
3. Sky high
4. Summer diary (very close to Sky high though)
5. Sayonara
6. Step by step

Though I really love all the songs, unlike any Ayu album. Though I can only listen to SBS when I'm in a certain mood, like when I need some motivation lol

[mi|kshake]

Finally got my copy on Monday. My ranking is:

01 Sayonara
02 Sorrows
03 Shape of Love
04 Summer Diary
05 Sky High
06 Step By Step

(Although 3 and 4 could be interchangeable)

I also think it's her best set of PVs for a while and Sayonara is her best PV for me since Sweet Scar.

[Gustavopc]

Mine would be

1. Summer diary / Shape of love
2. Sayonara
3. Step by Step
4. Sky High
5. Tartarus
6. Pits of the deepest hell canyons
7. Sorrows

Okay, I don't hate Sorrows that much, but the wasted potential is so enormous it hurts
