I love how the previews sound.
The Gift actually sounds rich and I really like how she sounds in it.

WARNING is a love given.

It sounds like the mixing's solid in these (for those who didn't like the mixing on previous albums) and they use real instruments, at least in The Gift.

The mixing sounds good to me too--which means Last minute is going to stick out like a sore thumb. -___- I would give anything for a more-polished version of that song.

Did you write about this problem through TeamAyu message form or Twitter? Has anyone here requested new mixing?

Well in generally mixing for her dvds are not done very well from the sound point of view. Like 5.1 sound is fake, I wonder why the never made it properly. There are usually no clean vocals on the central channel etc. TeamAyu staff doesn't make impression of the most professional people sometimes. I wonder how they would react on the request for the new mixing.

But in case with "Last minute" I actually thought it was problem with my iTunes bought version. Did they have iTunes special mixing?

You're right! I used to really want to hear her voice only on the central channel, but then I got used to the idea of that not happening.

I haven't! That's a good idea tho, I'll send them a message at some point this week.

I see psychotic gummybears dancing and jumping within the NO FUTURE melody. I can't.

Honestly, those lyrics are really horrible... Can it get more kitschy?

Hm, does it seem like the album tracks so far aren't really dealing with 'love' lyrically like some other albums have? Seems refreshing to me.

The GIFT seems to be about her marriage... so I would disagree.

Thanks for the translation!

The lyrics are very sweet. That is all.
Also, after listening to the preview from the site, I do like the song more so far. Still nothing amazing, but fine.

Well, aside from The GIFT now, haha. I wasn't entirely sure about it at first and I should have thought about it more since it talks about 'the two of us'. Other than that though, this album lyrically seems to be way less lovecentric than Colours and a few albums before.

And oh my god, WARNING is perfection.

It would've been cool if Ayu had only recorded last minute as a "studio live" and had only releases that version. Similar to Olivia/trapnest "Recorded Butterflies" from the NaNa anime.

You just referenced one of my all time favorite songs on the planet.

Way to go.
