Oh, you... you made my day.

I noticed that _generic was extremely narcissistic, but didn't want to say anything because, well... you know how Namie's fans think it's the best record she's made in years. Even if she somehow gets an extra birthday more than anyone else in the universe, and that she can somehow also be TLC while being Namie Amuro.

Moreover, albums like LOVEagain has not only songs about love. On LOVEagain there are 6 songs about love (and are differents types of love).
Colours: 6 (differents types)
Party Queen: 3 songs. (differents types)
A ONE: 6 (and one is a cover)

It's not that all artists talk about love stuff. It's that love, in some form or another, has comprised (even by your count) almost half or more than half of every one of her last several albums. The last truly non-love record she did was Rock'n'Roll Circus. So far, there's been Love songs, FIVE, LOVE, again, LOVE again, Colours, and A ONE. All of which are overwhelmed by songs about something wrong with or amazing about love and relationships.

It's great that she can find so many things to say about it, but I'd like something different for an album or two. Even if she just did a mini-album that had absolutely no love-themed songs on it, I would feel better about a full album afterward with a lot of love songs on it. And I think a lot of us would stop complaining. But so far she has done the following to "love":

* ridden,
* beaten,
* ridden again,
* beaten again,
* beaten to death,
* resurrected with black magic,
* ridden again,
* beaten to death again,
* risen from the dead once more,
* ridden once more,
* whipped to death,
* harassed and brutalized,
* resurrected by the power of Athena,
* ridden and beaten and ridden again in a single afternoon, and
* then hopped on the carcass and kicked it for not moving,
* hired someone to drag it around while she rode it so it would seem like it was still moving, and
* patched its deteriorating cadaver with nail polish and scraps from A DOME TOUR 2001 then hired someone to drag it around while she rode it so it would seem like it was still moving,
* refused psychiatric recommendations to give up on the carcass,
* shaken a fist at the universe for allowing "love" to be mortal by any means, even though everything else in existence has a finite life...

I love Ayu's love songs. It's just hard to appreciate a new song about love when we've had 32 new ones in a row. Something different for a release or two then she can go back and try to drag more use out of love.

^Amen

[tsumekaze_]

might be cause I don't wanna hear talking about anything related to love in this moment of my life but I'm getting tired too. I want some different lyrics. I can't really relate otherwise.

[luna7996]

I don't mind her singing about love but just because the song is about love doesn't mean it has to have the word "love" in the title. We"ll know the song is about love when we see the lyrics,we don't need a map. In fact is not even the word "love". I like "Love Songs" as a title is "Shape of Love" that doesn't work for me.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I don't think shape of love sounds awkward at all.

Lmao at the shade...love genic but it's definitely true.

Also, relax with the damn dramatics. There's no way it will be called A LOVE. she writes how she's feeling. IT'S REAL. PEOPLE act as if she doesn't have DOZENS of other songs in her catalog that touch on all kinds of other issues and meanings. go listen to warning again.

[Toniayu123]

I usually hate love and love related stories, but Ayu's lyrics talk about love in a way that may be interpreted freely by the listener, in my opinion. There are many different kinds of love in life and Ayu knows of to portraits all of them on her music.

^Actually, if we had no choice but to have "love" in the title...I don't hate summer love! haha

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^She also tweeted a photo of the sunset, but I don't think it's the title.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

Summer Diary is an interesting title, though I know that's probably not the title. I guess? Hee hee

[chocopockymaster]

It's likely these are song titles and she's sharing lyric snippets with us.

Between Step by step, Shape of love, and Summer Diary...are we going to have a mini named "S" or something? yikes, lol

[Delicious n Bold]

^Sí


Insert the britney gif again but at least it's something new. She should call it S. AH&LS
Ayumi Hamasaki & Love Songs

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

If they are, I really like all of them so far!

[attractive nausea]

According to google translate the lyrics of Summer Diary go like this "we viewed the sea together, it's painful and beautiful at the same time (...)"
I don't know what to think of this, it's like she has written those before already, but well she has written so many lyrics it's not surprising they end up repeating themselves

reminds me of theme of a-nation 03

I remember the summer festivals I had often been to
Where we held fast each other's hand not to be separated
.....
Memories are sweet because we passed through the time
However sad now, we can talk about it with a smile some day

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^Reminiscent of Far away, a little bit. I'm digging it.

Midnight Summer

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

A nighttime photo shoot at the beach with the moon in the background would be really awesome for this mini album cover.
