Last Angel.... OMG I LOVE IT!
It's to freaking epic.

It's like GAME intro, dark and low verse with some speed-up in the chours a la evolution/sparkle.

Perfection...

Last Angel's opening is amazing.

I'm so happy right now...it almost feels like a new album with all the new songs in such a short time!

Sweet Season is... sweet XD, has cheering but non cutesy sound. I really like it, but I don't think I will listen to it a lot. Virgin Road is still epic, I think I even loved it more listening to the single.
When I heard Last angel intro I immediately thought of Mirrorcle World XD and it was misleading in the same way From all those positive and ultra hyped comments I expected something really epic... And this is... Too slow for me for a while. However, it's still very good and kind of unique.

I like crossroad, Virgin Road and Last angel. But I REALLY hope this is the end of TK. These songs are too long and their melodys too weird. If she does more of them, I might have to die x_x

I like Virgin Road the most, followed by Last Angel. I don;t see anything special about Sweet Season, it's just another b-side.

She sang with emotions in VR. As for LA, it sounds like a song from Koda Kumi. The reason i like it is it's been a long time since we last hear an upbeat song from her.

Best single in 2010 in terms of song quality. I hope the PVs are good too.

besides the title being the same as one of kumi's song titles, what do you think is similar? like, what kumi song does it remind you of? i'm curious. i can't think of anything in kumi's discography that sounds like that.

My take:

Virgin Road: Still as epic. Sounds amazing in HQ because of the right dynamics and sound. I love how it just builds and builds!

Sweet Season: YAY! Just what I needed. It reminded me of Life actually. I like it alot. The verses reduced the supposed-cuteness by miles and everything just flows so nicely. Yea, there's something country in the background music

Last angel: This is some tempo crazy song! I APPROVE! When the opening came, I was thinking what on earth am I listening because the chaku-uta was so lively. I love how positive the chorus is and it totally contrast with the cool verse. I love the part in between where her voice is clearer and the tempo picks up. Her voice is just stunning there. LOL, i have so much to say about this song. It's seriously really cool.

GREAT SINGLE!!!!

I don't even remember Kumi has a song with the same title, it's just her vocal and the melody here and there. It doesn't resemble any particular song but her singing just reminds me of Kumi. I still like the song a lot!

L is defenetly one of my all time favo singls.

Sweet seasons, gave me a warm summer evening sense, very lovely song. I adore it

Last Angel: for me it fits in the rule sparkle train. I know it is more rock and little slower it fits that train. Really I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!!!!


This single is just toooooo awsome for words

This this this ! This song is a perfect happy medium between cutesy songs and ballads, I feel so nostalgic when listening to it !

And Last angel... O Ayu, why don't you make such perfect single every month ?

Seriously, best single since Rule/Sparkle !

Despite listening for a few times now, I'm still not sure what really to make of this single. I realy, really like Virgin Road. It's my favourite Ayu song since a while now. Sweet Season is not as horrible as I thought from the preview, but still a little boring. I don't love it, but it is an okay song for me. Last Angel, I'm the most confused about....some parts are really cool, some feel incredibly dated and a bit weird. Overall I think L is a good single. I prefer crossroad & L over MOON/blossom and even over Rock'n'Roll Circus so except for MOON/blossom even though I'm not completely in love with current Ayu-music the direction is right.
