[Unconfirmed] New spring 2015 song/single!

[JinHamasaki]

Rockkkkkkkkkkkkkkk please! EDM is fun to listen to, but never has longevity. Rock is like fine wine

[NintendoHTF1242]

I wouldn't mind another song that sounds like "reminds me" or "SAKURA" so I guess either a really emotional rock song or a really emotional slow rock song ahah

[ayumisrael]

I love her emotional songs like reminds me or SAKURA. They are really dreary but in a good way.

[Delirium-Zer0]

reminds me is gorgeously sad. I'd love a couple of songs like that.

As long as the album has songs that are honest and have ayu's "soul" behind them, the mixing is good (where the songs sound "mixed" rather than just "stacked" like they have for like the last four albums >_<) and there's a good variety of songs on there, honestly, I could care less what actual genres she does.

The genre should fit the song's lyrics and mood - frustrated and determined types of songs should be rock, happy cute songs should be EDM and dance pop, sad songs with determined optimism should be that dramatic rock ballad style, more contemplative songs should be more atmospheric... And experimenting with a new genre or two is fun too.

I am just listening to ALL of Ayu albums (besides Asfxx, well) and I just realized...



well. Colours wasn't that bad after all.
and yet, I'm one of the "I want more ayu rock" person, so...

No yeah, it's weird. As much as I say I love the dark or rockish ayu sound, I just can't listen to guilty much. I had fav songs from it as I became an ayu fan when it was released. But idk, something about a lot of it is just whatever. Still a great album. Just near the bottom of ayu albums for me.

I would give anything for a polished-up and better-mixed version of petal. That song is so unique in her discography for me. :'( SAKURA, on the other hand--I legit don't even remember what it sounds like. brb going to listen

[NintendoHTF1242]

I just really love the way the chorus in SAKURA was arranged, especially when the guitars really get going. Love the way they mixed Ayu's vocals with the background vocalists.

But I honestly really want something emotional as reminds me again. So raw and powerful.

[ayumisrael]

How can you not love (don't) Leave me alone, Marionette and Together When...?

Somehow I always felt that LOVE again gives me GUILTY feel rather than Love songs.

[thinkingoutloud89]

the bets trakc on GUILTY is....well... GUILTY

[primavera♥]

^guilty is extremely cohesive. And so it's really easy to sit and listen to it the whole way through. It's a well done album concept wise. But a lot of the indivual songs...I just want to skip. Songs like t2m that I love got played out so quickly. Idk what it is. Love songs is cohesive and I love a much larger percentage of those songs more.

However, I'd like another album I the vein of guilty done. Because I always like that sound. I don't need another RnRC lol. But we'll see where she goes I guess. She seems more confident than usual with this release and the upcoming tour.

[melissalove]

i love guilty its been my jam since like forever!!

[ExodusUK]

I love the title song Guilty...I think I'm one of the few that do. It's so desperate and condemning sounding.

[orangeakira]

Guilty is an amazing song, although it sounds kind of off key or something. Maybe it's too low in key? Something about that guitar doesn't rub me the right way. I don't know how else to put it. lol

[thinkingoutloud89]

as said one page before, GUILTY is the best trackon the album. Its so hounting and in the veine of Duty. I hope she'll perform it one day.
As for RnRC...I like all the tracks on there...especially DLB & SLT!! O_O

I agree!! just noticed that guilty fits the whole dark circus theme ayu is aiming for these days.

[Aderianu]

Guilty is my most favorite album ever =) I like all songs except glitter


I think ayu already back to recording. Can't wait for official news about album. It's already two months before rumored release

[Surreal17]

I don't get the hate that SAKURA takes. It took me some listens before I really got into some LOVE again tracks but when I did it felt so warm. For me, SAKURA is one of those tracks that unveils its "true core" when its listened in certain places, for example if I listen to it surrounded by nature (especially in winter and spring). First snow of the year, first drops of spring etc.
In fact almost every song has a certain mood for a certain moment but the interesting thing is that everybody feels different. One might find SAKURA a banal song, but for others this song may awake some unique excitement in them. All depends on multiple factors such as our own life experience and perception.
This is why I love ayu's music. It makes me discover a song again and again and I can really connect with most of her discography.

I want Tell All or a new one on this style. Next CREA type songs Sparkle, Ladies Night and STEP you type of songs. And for rock Because of you.

And for the covers a mix of rnr circus and LOVEppears/appears.

Please no more Alvin Goh horrible covers and booklet!!!!

I think the Alvin Goh's style for CoLOURS wasn't horrible. It was stylish, but a little OT related to the album I think...
To me, a design ala RAINBOW would have suited the album better.
