New album 'Love songs' & Ayu-produced single 'Dream ON' 12/22 [VI]

(*o*)
It's abnormally good imo.
Anda I agree, the arrangement and composition is interesting

[Larisa-chan]

Wow, those bigger pictures of the album's covers are REALLY pretty ... the CD+DVD doesn't look quite as bad anymore, ahaha. I kind of want the USB version now, but for practical reasons I have to go with the CD version.

As for the song Love Songs... VERY UNEXPECTED!!! Very refreshing composition/arrangement. It has a nice touch of rock (I like how the guitar solo comes out of nowhere near the beginning), but it's nothing out of control. It's a new sound from Ayu, but it still has that Ayu touch to it. I like how it's not completely repetitive like songs such as Moments or Dolls. This is also a song I could listen to over and over again. Mm, the only thing I don't really like is her voice. My goodness, it sounds really bad in some parts

[Kogepan_19]

Her voice in "Love song" sounds so reminiscent of her Duty/I am.../RAINBOW period...it's so brilliant! It's weird, but one of the things I love about Ayu is that her intonation of pitch class isn't always perfect in live performances, yet it just reminds me that she is only a human being trying to express her emotions through music.

After seeing the covers in bigger sizes, I like all of them, the CD+DVD cover looks better. I've just heard Love song, and I like it, a lot. I'm looking forward to hearing the other new songs.

OMG love song is awsome!
First time listened it, it was a bit boring, but when i listened a second time, it just became better and better! It's awsome.
It gave me the feeling of NEXT LEVEL (song) but less electronic, more emotional, but way better. I AM IN LOVE with it, can't wait for the other songs!

[truehappiness]

I think the weird artifacting of the first leak of the covers really didn't allow people to see how pretty they were. Thankfully the larger versions are so clear!

[Corvina]

Love song is nice, but her singing style is something I have to get used to.
The idea truehappiness had seems fitting. The title feels a lot better with such a meaning, too.

This. I think that's why I'm not liking this song right away.

[bluegie]

I think I have to get used to her singing style in Love song. It doesn't wow me (probly because her vocal is quite unusual this time), and I hope it will grow on me later on .

[njanjayrp]

Love song doesn't really sound similar to any of her other songs. Did she do similar genres before? Of course she did. Could I tell it's an Ayu song not knowing she was singing it? Sure. Not a big deal though, both her voice and style are very recognizable. No one really makes stuff you could hardly say they've made it.

I also can't see what's so different about her vocals? xD The songs so far would blend nicely on Rock'n'Roll Circus which is a good thing <3

^For me the guitar at the background music sounds like last links, at least that style.
The soft, slower parts remind me at moon, but more uptemto, and the violins in Love song remind me of moon. And the song has for me the roughness of crossroad. so that is why it reminds me at it.

[majrakun]

For some reason, the piano part feels VERY reminiscent of blossom. I really love the guitar part somewhere in 1:40, that part feels the most epic! I could just imagine them using that part as the very grand opening of next tour, if only, haha.

There's also hints of Last Links, which I happen to really love too!

[ownsarai]

If anyone hasn't noticed, the guitar part is also part of Last angel.
I love this song even more every time I listen to it. I'm really excited for the PV.

Not only the PVs it seems.

Definitely ! That may explain why they're both perfect I REALLY hope the PVs won't be too cheesy !

FFUUUUUUU i'm supposed to be getting ready for work but I couldn't resist. Why the hell didn't I wake up earlier when I was planning to or I'd have plenty of time to enjoy this masterpiece! D: Omg, it's so Ayu yet... not Ayu. XD I'm normally don't like to be one of those people that automatically go "omg best song evaa!!!" when a new song hits but... seriously, so far: BEST SONG OF THIS ERA. I just hope the rest of the album doesn't disappoint after this amazingness.
