I thought it was going to be like another Love songs, but thankfully it was slightly better than that.

After a few listens, I LOVE this album. The only weak points for me are Bye-bye darling and Missing, other than that, it's flawless. Putting "snowy kiss", "Sweet scar", and "petal" right after one another was genius, the transition into each song flows so well.
"SAKURA" is such a beautiful song, along with "Gloria", I can't get enough of them  And putting "You & Me" at the end was genius, the album starts and ends with a bang

Party Queen is prabably her most personal album to date... For sure it's her first personal album without her playing victim.

My god!!! "Gloria" is definitely my favourite song from "LOVE again"...i dreamed of the PV...the PV start with ayu and her friends partying, with the song "Party Queen" almost ends, and she sat there with her friends laughing and all..she just sat there quietly and start to walk away from the crowd and in slow motion the song start and ayu start singing..walking away from the party..people still drinks and dancing in slow motion..she look and passing them..in the end she's outside, in a garden, in the moonlight, looking up..<3. What do you guys think?

I quite like Love Again. To be honest, I didn't take an immediate liking to any of the singles (except for "Missing") released prior to this, so I think it's a big deal for me to like this album. All the songs work together in an album format, but I didn't like them on their own... hmm. It's kind of the same for Love songs: I liked the single songs enough, but putting them in an actual album made much more sense. Oddly enough, these are the only two albums I feel this way about; all other albums I pick and choose favourites.
After a disappointing album (for me), this was certainly a refresher.

I really like the album, it's such a nice flowing release!
Though it gets a bit boring in between as the songs have the same feeling/atmosphere. My 3 favoruites are petal, Bye bye darling and Sakura. petal is my absolutely favourite! <3 Overall I prefer the new album songs over the single(mini album) songs by far, I like them all. But as I see I'm pretty much the only one thinking like that, lol.

"LOVE again" is a very nice album! i really enjoyed listening to it.
 i liked all the songs, but my most favorites are "Wake me up", "Song 4 u", "SAKURA", "Bye-bye darling", "Sweet scar", and "gloria"."Bye-bye darling" is really awesome! "SAKURA" & "gloria are really sweet ballads, too. the booklet of the album is so pretty, too! ayu looks beautiful in all the pictures.

I have listened to it just once and I need to say that I don't even remember what the songs sounds like anymore. As someone who loves Party Queen a lot, I'd say that LOVE again isn't my taste at all. So many songs sounded bland and uniteresting for me. I loved PQ's experimental sound so much that I think I had wai expectations a bit too high. LOVE again needs Timmy's composations. With those I would have loved it more. Maybe I will learn to like this album at some point too, because it sometimes takes a lot of time for me to like Ayu's albums. I just need to wait for the next boom to hit me and then listen to this more.

snowy kiss is not awful by any means. I actually enjoy it. But tasuku made it way too long lol I don't have issues with long songs but this one doesn't really excite me for it's length.

For me the epics flawless of the album are Wake me up, SAKURA, petal, You & Me, Song 4 u, Sweet scar and Missing. SAKURA and petal became 2 of my most favorite songs. I'm really happy ayu created them and that they could be on this album, they really make it better. The great are Bye-bye darling (which you didn't share your opnion on and I think it's a really good song!) I think that people should check out and care a bit more for its lyrics(and petal's or other songs in general as well as they were really good for this album). Bye-bye darling is really cool. Good are Gloria, Melody and untitled for her ~story...2~ Could be great but too long are Snowy kiss and Ivy (Ivy's lyrics are a win). In case of the interludes, well it seems like they were made to convey something rather than transition, and they were awesome, but they should work to fit them musically as well, even though they weren't out of place on the worst level I suppose, but yeah, maybe more mid tempo interludes would fit better, but I like them and I'm sure they are not there just because anyway. Main "problem" might have been that it's a more slower album and since most songs are mid-tempo/ballads and it could be draggy/boring rather than an album that is mainly up-beat or that has a lot of up beat songs like pop (dance-ish) music albums that people are more used to or "wish" for.

Gloria is the best song aside from Wake Me Up. The flawless deliverance of "optimism" created by the deliverance of ayus voice and the composition is just so admirable and envious. That song really is unique for me - ayu had had many songs with many emotions but this song is the first in which there is such a heavy reliance and successful delivery of the feeling of "optimism".
Still don't know how anyone can even listen to petal. The arrangement is so cut and paste, it's like the most amatuer piece of work she had ever released. So disconjointed. It sounds like a first stage demo rendition.

The first time I heard this album, I feel terrible because this style is new and difficult in accepting ! I just appreciate it for Song 4 u, missing, you&me, wake me up. After the long time, after listening Ivy on CDL 2012-2013 (recording version), Sakura (ABL recording version). I love them and listen again the whole album. I got love it !
Sakura , untiled for her ... story 2 : is so deep and emotional. They need more promotion ... Bye bye darling, Melody ,pental: is ok I hate snowy kiss !
