[Official Message] LOVE CLASSICS in stores 2015.01.28

[inspire_rmx]

Interesting! Can't wait to hear how all these will turn out

[Earth_maiden]

The previews sounds really nice, I'm relativity excited for this release.

[Embleu]

"Honey" mixed with the Hallelujah Chorus ... um, okay.

The "Days"/"Four Seasons" - "Winter" mashup kinda makes me think of ThePianoGuys' mashup of "Let It Go" (from Frozen) and "The Four Seasons" - "Winter". Interested in seeing how this turns out.

My God... another album with the word "LOVE" on it. I´m not really into this, so many new songs she can do like reminds me or Gloria.

First off, reminds me is not a love song. Gloria's status is debatable. If you had to pick ten or eleven of Ayu's love songs for a Valentine's-themed album, I can guarantee you there would be better choices than those.

"reminds me" definitely does not fit the theme of the album.

I think people are forgetting that this album is to celebrate Valentines. I wouldn't want a snowy kiss or Terminal mash-up playing to celebrate my love for someone lol

what she said

[Matt_rq]

"Reminds me" can be a love song, for me is when you lose someone you love, even if is sad, the feelings is you can´t forget the love of your life (there´re plenty pf people in valentines who feel that) But I understand what all of you mean Sorry for the mistake

I can sort of see where you're coming from, but there's a difference between 'love songs' and songs about love, imo. For this project, it wouldn't have made sense for her to choose anything BUT her standard, mostly positive-sounding love songs.

[Refix]

I rather want to hear Walking proud than Winding road. Hoping for Secret or Rainy day...

[BlackSilence]

ahahahahaha..haaaa~

[Heavenly]

I just can't wait to hear 1998-voice of Ayu on classical records....
Such a slaughter in perspective.
Another great concept, but not well thought at all.
We'll see if they can mash up well.

[Heavenly]

She could have included BRILLANTE easily, IMO.
Such a beautiful piece it would have become.

This. Not only is that song the first one that sticks out to me as fitting very well with classical music, I have since the song's release been eagerly awaiting a remix, regardless of what kind, as long as it takes the awesomeness of the original song in a good direction.
And the setlist as a whole is... uninspiring. "SEASONS", "Voyage", "Days" AND "Dearest" again!? Plus "HONEY" and "winding road"!? 10 songs and 60% of them have already been featured on a classical album; I understand that the classical remixing will be quite different this time around, and that some of them are big hits of hers that casual listeners might be drawn in by, but still! This album might be great (and I will gladly swallow these words should that turn out to be true) but at this point it just feels like avex is finding new ways to get money.
By the way, I don't get why people are saying some songs can't be included because they aren't "love song" enough, when "SEASONS" and "winding road" feel much too vague in their lyrics to count as proper "love songs" for me. Hell, "winding road" doesn't even make mention of a second person from what I can remember.

[hidekirby]

I understand some may be upset by ayu's tracklist (I myself don't have any interest for most of the songs here) but remember very few will be left of those original songs (only the vocals if I understood the concept).
As this release is anything but a way to make easy money, a great use of ayu's hits was predictable.

For the moment I'm still seeing this release as a dumb move -on an artistic point of view- (HONEY... really... why not THANK U while we're at it ).
May be some surprises but after A Classical's disaster (IMO) I'm not having any expectation.

[kotora]

Good, no, Zutto... / Last Minute / Walk in the list.

Surprised, I totally forget a song called winding road

Can't wait, I love TO BE.

But,,, Another LOVE title album... Is there any other word instead of Love?

She can use "MY DEAREST CLASSICS" LOL

[channy]

What for heaven's sake keeps Avex from remixing all the songs that have never been remixed before? Thus the tracklist is simply atrocious once again. Wasn't "ayu-mi-x 7" not enough of a waste of given opportunities? Then "A Classical", another pointless remix attempt with heaps of dusty already remixed songs and now this... Not looking forward to this release at all.

[amorphose]

Virgin Road is the only track I'll check out. (Because of Chopin)

[ExodusUK]

HONEY and winding road...so unneccesary considering the classical version of MY STORY. Would have liked to seen a song like RAINBOW, JEWEL, meaning of love or Sunset... in their place.

[jbrat2219]

I'm only excited about Virgin Road. Best song on the list.
