ooh, good point. Thank you for elaborating!

lol i think this is the longest AHS has sustained itself since a release and subsequent over frickin' flow of people.

Return Road sound like angry M ~episode II~ lol

Aderianu · #6 13th March 2012, 10:28 PM

I love NaNaNa! And Timmy in this and other songs.
Tell me why is just epic

pepper · #7 13th March 2012, 10:29 PM

I can't decide to which track listen cause album is full of awesomeness. So it's going with the list xD

BlackSilence · #8 13th March 2012, 10:39 PM

The album is EPIC, well I could totally live without Party Queen track there, I skip it anyway.... And I love the quirky Eyes, Smoke, Magic, it makes me think of Ch.Aguilera's Candyman and CHICAGO movie.... the next LOVE and the following are probably very very new for Ayu, I actually think she pulled them really well. The rest of the album? This is the Ayu I got to know when I heard Memorial Address performed in that red dress, which was my first Ayu song. Such an amazing feeling to have that back. *sigh*

The arangements are great, the power is great, the vocals are perfect. I sooooooo missed all that!

too much awesomeness! return road alone is epicness! reminds me, tell me why, Letter omg too many favorite tracks!

Now we only need on the booklet and my day would be complete.
Well, it would actually be overkill

I think Timmy's warm tenor is a perfect compliment to Ayumi's sometimes rather cold mezzosoprano.

LEOyumi · #12 13th March 2012, 10:53 PM

I also think Timmy is a great addition to the songs. Although his rap in NaNaNa is very strange, his participation in the other songs made them really great.

jewelbox · #13 13th March 2012, 10:56 PM

God how I LOVE DAI. His compositions are always pure GOLD! He really knows how to compose Perfect Ayu songs. This nostalgy is so heartbreaking

I hope HAL's gonna come back too.

AyuWorld · #14 13th March 2012, 11:02 PM

nway, may be i missed this, but have we got the official source from Ayu's stuffs or something to say that tell me why is a cover song or not?

The original composers from Greece are credited as far as I know, so it's all legal and definitely not stolen, if it's a cover or not we cannot know, it depends on if Ayumi knows of the other song or just bought the same melody from the composers.

I am pretty sure Ayu wrote her own lyrics, so basically they've just purchased the composition. It's not really anything new for the majority of Asian artists.

Eyes, Smoke, Magic = Burlesque music

XD

My heart exploded with feels.

This album is structured so perfectly. The tracks in the beginning middle and end are all perfectly placed. I won't go into the details of what I think, but needless to say almost all the tracks are flawless.

NaNaNa was a little disappointing in that I loved all of Ayu's parts a lot, but the guy's parts just didn't sit well with me they felt a little too forced/trying to hard. Shake It<3 is growing on me I guess because I really didn't like it at first. The interludes are actually great, they sound good, have substance, and are decent lengths.

From call to Tell me why is solid gold.

I agree, after the preview I was expecting more. The chorus is good, but the transition to the verses sounds like it was cute and pasted weirdly, and yes, Timmy's rap is awful. Inane rhyming does not make a rap xD

Eyes, Smoke, Magic. Wow.
