new album "A ONE" 2015.04.08 in stores V

[pepper]

Show Must Go On is really nice. I thought it would be more like snowy kiss, but it isn't THAT similar. It's very positive, when snowy kiss is melancholic/sad. It got more "I am..." feeling than snowy kiss.

I will say it is kind of annoying how Out of control has parts similar to SEVEN DAYS WAR. It's such a troll for my brain, lol.

Definitely my least favorite track out of the ones I listened to so far. This must be the one people were comparing to call / Letter? I can see the comparisons. It's certainly better than those tracks but it still isn't my cup of tea. It's too corny sounding.

I was really surprised with Anything for you...the minor key changed into a major at the end! and yes I agree, she delivered the emotions so well and THATS A TK BALLAD FOR YOU. Ayu can connecct with it so well. and it definitely didn't feel like 7 minutes

Story's ending is super gorgeous!!!! it reminds me so much of her old ballads >< OMG such a beautiful piece

[relmy]

Waiting for the album right now and I'm SO excited, I've not actually been excited for an Ayu release since Love Songs! I'm happy just to *be* excited about Ayu. :')

A One already slayed

WARNING is sooo out of place on this album.

[Anna.L]

The show must go on could be performed after game, I'M ALREADY SEEING THE TOUR

[holy_arrow]

Listened the whole album. I really love it, this is the first best album from I have been her true fan (2013).
The most surprising to me is Anything to you. It grows on me now; The arrangement of "the show must go on " is so good <3 ; No future is amazing.
Out of control, Story is so, so perfect to me ...
Zutto, The GIFT, WARNING, walk, Last minute are all my cup of tea.

The best album to me <3

[Delicious n Bold]

So what's the overall 'hue' of the album?

This is probably going to be my main criticism of the album...there are really great songs but the whole thing is so incohesive...there's like 5 dreary ballads that just bring the whole thing down.

[Zeke.]

FYI, the 320 isn't true 320 from JPOPSUKI. It's been reported and someone commented how it's somewhere between 160-192.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I was wondering if this might happen. But after hearing TSMGO in full, it really isn't THAT similar to snowy kiss. There are small similarities, but not as bad as I previously thought.

[relmy]

What is this magic?! I wasn't keen on WARNING when I heard the previews or when I heard the full song in the video but I am LOVING IT right now!

WARNING, NO FUTURE, Show must go on, Last minute is like from another album. The amount of ballad is the weakest point.

+ maybe Out of control. But it's still a ballad.

yep, it does have... oldschool feeling that snowy kiss don't have.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I wonder if she will perform it in the middle of the set list or during the encore...

I don't know if it is because of that or because of the album mix, but I said to myself "It's a bit noisy"/"Don't feel HQ"...

You think that is?? What about Movin' on without you??

This album is pure perfection. All of the new songs have amazing little intricacies throughout them, especially NO FUTURE and Out of control. I haven't been this happy with an album from Ayu in a long time, since Love songs at least. Even though it is ballad after ballad, they are great ballads! Especially Anything for you.

[freedreamer]

while waiting for true 320kbps..I just have to say..all the new songs are amazingggggggggg (for me, now The GIFT feels like the weakest LOL)

Just the noise, fast music and high notes are similair. snowy kiss is better.

The Show Must Go On is my least favourite on this album and I consider it even as awful. The verses are nice and I can also get through the chorus but that THE SHOW MUST GO ON YEAH YEAH YEAH is god damn dreadful.

Other than that I love the tracks and the full version of Anything For You is so good.
