WHATEVER sounds like an Ami Suzuki reject, but it's not bad.
I am... had some blips (A Song is Born is just trash). In my playlist, I removed ASIB and added the single version of Endless Sorrow I can never give an Ayu album perfect because some songs are just.. awful blips. Memorial Address is the closest, as No Way To Say is the only song that drags it down. A Song is Born drags I am... down like how Namie is dragging all the jpop chicks by their weaves. It's an awful song which ruins an otherwise amazing album. NEVER EVER is MILES better than ASIB, is it not? I agree that NE is acquired taste, but it isn't a crap song at all. I mean, it ****s all over ASfXX. |

a song is born - trash? I am sorry I am alright with people disliking songs and I am aware not everyone will like everything Ayu releases, but have some respect. You don't have to like it, but some of us here still feel respect and admiration towards Ayu's work and it's kinda offensive to say that one of her lyrical masterpieces is trash. The song is simple, yet very touching and the lyrics are what sets it apart from others not to mention the way Ayu performs it live. Sure the arrangement lacked power, but Ayu's voice and words made up for it and the song is in no way trash. Imo if anything's dragging I am... down, it's UNITE! |

The duet version is even worst... Ayu and Keiko sound like two cats being hit to death with baseball bats... |

^ the song or the album...
Also.. are you talking about the single version of ASiB or the album version... because i find the single version much better with the two voices working together. Both songs are good I think, but I do have to say I love the remix something like 10x more.. lol |

Is the single version better? I never listened to the single version because I was always worried that it would sound like the album version. |

I can't even call Ayu's 'golden era' generic or anything. I'd rather call her latest works with that name

The sound is the same... but I felt like Keiko (spell?) voice sounded really good with ayumi's and their voices just worked well together... (but the remix to me is like a gift from god, lol... I use that as my last track while working out... it gets me so pumped to finish... lol)
^^ I never really considered her Duty and I am albums generic at the time... I listened to some stuff, but not a great deal of it, but the reason why I liked her was because it sounded different from the rest of the stuff that was coming out at the time, which of course is the opposite of generic. |

I remember reading that LOVEppears was ahead of its time or something.
Back on topic: for how long do you think this album will chart? * we can't keep going off topic, this is a sales thread lol* |

Thanks, I completely forgot about the monthly.
WHATEVER is a masterpiece, A Song is born is beautiful. I agree that UNITE! can be annoying. XD |

^ I always though that unite was a poor mans evolution, but over the years i have come to enjoy it.
but I also dont think DnB meant anything by it... just a poor choice of words... |

^ Finally, someone agrees with me. The lyrics are definitely touching, but the arrangement is just... It's the only Ayu songs that I truly have beef with. I love every song but ASIB. I can actually appreciate and love ASfXX and even Guilty. But ASIB... Well, to each is own.
I guess I'm not big on TK's compositions... |

A Song is Born is not one of her best songs but, it's so dearest to me, I love it so much and it can bring me down to tears sometimes. This song live is just touching and the words are just so powerful.
Anyway lol I'm glad ASB is selling still!!  I hope it stays in the charts for much longer.
