Not a chance I can do that, but I'm not going to watch the short versions of these 5 PVs. I always end up with unfulfilled expectations when I watch the short versions, so I'm going to wait.

Side note: I really, REALLY hope that FIVE is put up on international iTunes stores right away. ayu-mi-x 7 was put up on the US store pretty much the same day it was released in Japan, and that was fantastic! I really hope that's going to be how things are done from now on, and not just a one-time deal.

I've always tried to do it this way. Heard previews of MY STORY in the CMs the songs were featured in but I was pleasantly surprised by the full versions since the previews of my name's WOMEN and About You totally sucked but the full versions were GOLD. (miss)understood I listened to every damn leak and that really left me feeling empty when I received the album finally. More often than not I don't listen to previews or if I do cave I might listen once. But it feels so good when I don't hear any previews.

Love songs and GUILTY I think are the only albums I did not hear ANY PREVIEWS FOR at all or listen to leaked/released promotional tracks/PVs until I got my copy/until the album was officially released. Secret I heard the previews for the promotional video tracks from the CM a few days beforehand (I managed to never hear JEWEL in full until I got my CD though).

I liked JUNO's song...

And it's about the time for ayu fans to notice that she doesn't give a damn about how her fans think she should run her career... And that's quite nice, cuz we would have tons of new versions of Seasons, evolution, M, No way to say and fairyland if she took her fans opinions into consideration...

We had a few of those and they were great imo...

Seasons = Life
evolution = until That Day... (although I never fully loved this one)
No way to say = momentum
fairyland = blossom

I remember when Until that day... came out everyone was comparing it to evolution for the simple fact that the singing style is similar (the super fast ranting). SEASONS and Life I didn't understand too much for a while but those comparisons were also being thrown around - and then one day I realized when I had Life in my head, SEASONS would take over. I think it's the beginning of both chorses that sound the same. That first line in the chorus's.

But no way is SEASONS Virgin Road. I cannot stand Virgin Road and it's completely different feeling than SEASONS. VR is too slow to be SEASONS. I also think Life and SEASONS compliment each other nicely and they both are "Spring" songs (I listen to music according to weather and season and during Spring it's always SEASONS, Life, RAINBOW).

LOL None of those songs sound anything alike...

Maybe?

SEASONS = Sweet season
evolution = UNITE!/SURREAL/trauma aka anything from LOVEppears to I am...
No way to say = more like Days than momentum. Days is like NWTS-lite.
fairyland = more like BLUE BIRD

I finnally clicked on the JUNO song... I don't know why everyone sayin' it suck xD It's a good song! JUNO maybe's not his brother... But i like instruments and the chorus. Yeah, well, I liked this song, lol

pepper · #13 13th July 2011, 04:56 PM

I listen to FATE like 3rd time in a row... And I got hope for AYUXJUNO song. Don't believe in AYUXNAOYA song though.

pepper · #14 13th July 2011, 06:15 PM

SEASONS = Virgin Road (but in fact, I dont got any close "new" song to SEASON. the more closiest is VR i think...)
evolution = Last Angel
No way to say = You were...
fairyland = totally blossom (BLUE BIRD is too happy, fairy and bloss got this nostalgic, sad vibe)

Maybe the fact we can't agree on which songs sounds like another proves her songs don't sound as alike as we all may think? I think her previous songs make a great impact on her newer works but they don't necessarily sound alike.
