OMG I'm really excited to the album now. NaNaNa and Shake It♥ sounds promising. call sounds very cliche but it's good anyway. Her voice in reminds me is very pretty!

Tell me why is very good too. The second half of the album has a Duty vibe for me, and that's awesome.

The previews sound GREAT. First time in a loong time that I'm interested in an Ayu album! Ahhh I'm so happy

Only real downside of this album is Party queen, that song is just so bad
HBYA, and Eyes, Smoke, Magic aren't really doing anything for me either but they're not that terrible as Pq.

So that's 3 songs I don't like, that's great considering the past few albums had only 3 songs I liked on them >_> haha

Return Road = and I actually love the midtempo songs, even if I was worried because she's done so many the past few years. But these are much better

The next LOVE sounds like a Mika Nakashima song ahah. I love it

Letter is so Avril Lavigne.

NaNaNa and Shake It sound pretty dark to me, lots of industrial electronic sounds going on.

Tell me why sounds amazing! That piano...

Based on 30s preview's: Shake it and NaNaNa really surprised me! They are awesome! From call to reminds me, nothing "special" there, like someone said, three MOON tempo(ish) tracks,they could be better than MOON, but it's hard to say yet..
Return Road and Tell me why will blow my mind o_o, maybe the best tracks on this album?
the next LOVE sounds kinda weird,not in a bad way, musical inspired definitely. Same goes for eyes,smoke,magic(cutesy voice is back..??).
I can say now that this album will beat RnrC and Lovesongs for me. Thank you Ayu!

I was so disappointed in the next LOVE and Eyes, Smoke, Magic...
I shear the jazz and it is such a turn off...
I had such high hopes for the next LOVE too.
Also, I usually like the interludes, but them seem kinda bland this time around..
I love a cup of tea and Serenade (just need to hear more first)
taskebab is just plain bad... but of course we may just have a suck 40 clip.

Imo, tasuku has never made a good interlude. They are always boring.

Wow, that's odd... IMO they're usually some of her best barring some of his earlier ones with her.

I guess your right... The only ones I car for are taskinlude and tasking...
While I think Taskinillusion is okay... i really cant stand taskinist... its almost how I feel about the new one task.... blah..
saddens me... But at least it is good for opening up the rock tracks.

But like I said before.. im gonna wait to hear the full version before i cast my ultimate judgment.. lol

Yea I see your point, but for me they have never stood out. If there's 2 or 3 interludes on the album and one is tasuku, it's always the weakest for me.

Usually the HAL ones are the weakest for people, I think.

IMO, tasuku tends to make very simple but very powerful interludes.

I put all of the previews into one mp3 for easy listening. If someone can post separated files, it would be great.

I will agree this time around... the other two are amazing comparatively.

And is it just me, or does Party Queen sound better on the website!
It sounds more like the live version, which makes me happy.

@truehappiness
I just dont like HAL, lol...
although he did surprise me on A Ballads.

Finally listened to all previews and I'm very happy to say that they're all, judging from what I heard, very catchy!

Spoiler:
NaNaNa sounds like it's the type of song that builds into some dance track. I love what I'm hearing
Shake It♥ has a rather dark atmosphere to something I could dance to. LOVE.
taskebab is just to die for, as expected from tasuku
call is very laid-back and summery and...Do As Infinity-ey, which is always a good thing
Letter sounds somewhat similar to call, but just a tad slower
reminds me sounds like a summery HOPE or PAIN to me. And I love me some HOPE or PAIN.
Return Road is rather depressing, which is always something good coming from ayu. ALL THE LOVE.
Tell me why is somehow even more depressing (maybe because it's slower). Can't wait to see this performed live.
a cup of tea reminds me of Pieces of SEVEN, in that it seems to have a twist from ballad to something else entirely.
the next LOVE does sound like something Mika Nakashima would sing. I like how it's jazzy, but I think she kind of went off-key a few times there (or I just downright don't know squat about how people sing jazz)
Eyes, Smoke, Magic is like the swing version of Sexy little things. Sounds playful (from what I assume to be its last 17 seconds)
Serenade in A minor sounds like the music playing on the background in a sad scene. I like it.


BRB preparing a lot of love for Party Queen.
