Thoughts on is this LOVE?

[Hugo_Perry]

To be honest 'bout when the first time i saw the title "is this LOVE?" thought that it gonna be another Spring ballad like Moments. Then when i had heard the completed full version. I was really surprised that it's another rock song because Hamasaki Ayumi only seem to release rock song on Summer single or album only. So yeah! I've to say that this is a really freakin' awesome because i really love her way of rock. Yup! Yup! Yup!

I'm gonna rate it 80/100. As for the first 10 is because of the openin' "Whoa whoa whoa yay~" kinda destroy the beautiful openin' music FOR MEH. Yeah! I know how sume poeple love it. Kinda like Moments openin' with that "Lalala~"? As for the other 10 is because when it reach to the chrous that been repeat many times have kinda cover a little of Hamasaki Ayumi's vocal. Honestly, the first time i heard this song i was Argh! ,but after sumetime i really love it. STEP YOU! For those poeple dun't like it. Please try to listen it a few more times.

As for the lyric, i love it. Though i really hate how lyric sume part have to be so repeative. I think "is this LOVE?" can beat "GAME" ,but nut "Because of You".

Wow- so many mixed reviews XD

Well- I personally love the rock... since I'm a rock sort of girl. Granted, it's very much MY STORY-ish, but I think it's closer to Memorial Address than MY STORY. As to references to GAME, that was my first impression at the beginning of the song. But it doesn't really bug me. It's something I can sing aloud to in my car and dance to in my living room.

Gotta remember, though, this is only the B-side. So for those looking for something new, Step You might be it.

I personally like the song n.n

I thought i was the only one to think that.

I still don't see what people find similiar to MY STORY. Maybe GAME? A little bit, but it sounds a lot more like Because of You which is so much better than GAME.

[Echiko]

The style is really similiar to Because of You. Probably because of the mixed in guitar sounds. Not really similar to GAME to me...(I still like GAME better xD) But this song is SOOOO GREAT. ^__^ Definetly emotional like Because of You. It's like..it hits somewhere in the heart and makes you kinda sad. T_T great. The beginning and ending is alittle too rocky at certain points...But it's all good. =D I CAN'T WAIT for the PV!!! OMGOMGOMGOMG! i'll be SOOO awesome!!! *__*

This song reminds me of game (the begaining) because of you (chorus) and liar (1st verse and 2nd verse). This song is okay and it is not ayu's best song.

its nice... cool...

[Qt Mashi]

i dont like the first and last part of the song where it had back up vocals~it sounded like PECO~

anyways overall the song is very powerful and relli good!!!!

i love it!!!!!! i thought it would be more of a ballad, but owell i love it!!!!!!!!

First impression this song gives me is the intro has certain sounds tht sound lyk GAME's intro. The rockish doesnt seem lyk anything ive heard from Ayu before so it sounds new. Vocals are better as they sound more real and emotional. I can just imagine Ayu singing the song and the poses she does.

Crap. Noise. Generic.

Could be better...could be worse. It's not sticking with me as much as Ayu songs used to, but I do enjoy it. I just wish she would change things up...it seems like all of her songs are starting to sound too similar.

And the beginning sounds almost exactly like GAME to me.

I was hoping for a ballad.

I love GAME, About You, BoY, and INSPIRE...

I just listened to this song once, maybe it'll grow on me, I don't know... but so far, not that great.

[a1strank]

I really like this song..her voice is great..and I don't think it is similar to other songs..two thumps up

[mui-gei-tal]

i really like is this love? it sounds alike to because of you...but it's still all good! GO AYU!
