Ayu has always emphasize that clowns hide their real face. I think the lyrics are really beautiful coming from her. It's like "No matter If I can't smile or be happy, I will do for you"

Hm, I thought we did sorta with a Bell and A ONE, lol. But I guess that was an intro... last one with interludes was LOVE again, so perhaps this time we may get a few?

it somehow just makes the lyrics (despite how corny they sound) slightly...more bittersweet, darker, more poignant |

I am not feeling these song titles. "Mad World"? "You are the only one"? They sound like tracks that would appear on Seiko's new albums. They don't sound fascinating like GREEN or even Zutto..., NEXT LEVEL, Sparkle, Rule, 1 LOVE, Virgin Road, Return Road, etc. My first impression is "this seems generic"...?

I would be wondered if Ayu changed her mind to name the title in Japanese

I hope the photos ayu is posting aren't the actual pics from the album booklet. For me part of the excitement of getting a new album is seeing the booklet for the first time.

The photo that came with the Mad World lyrics would make such a great cover.
I'm so excited for the new album! Made in Japan is a good title too. |

Who would have thought STEP you would become as iconic as it is? STEP you and is this LOVE? was the beginning of her "odd" titles IMO.

Mad World sounds like an interesting title if it actually is one for a new song.

I pray to God we get some interesting production on this album. I miss the days when each song was a unique sound-scape and story. Even though her albums have become more cohesive in terms of sound, that is really not why I became an Ayu fan. I love how RnR Circus is all over the place. It's really a journey to listen from start to finish. A ONE all sounds like other songs. It's not interesting enough.
Edit: Even comparing Love songs to A ONE, each song from Love songs has a distinctive sound. Love song with the opening piano. crossroad with the strings. MOON with the "huuuuu" sound. And that album was also very cohesive...so eh. I hope she can achieve such a thing again. I wouldn't be able to tell the songs on A ONE, six and LOVE again apart easily. |

I think she's just trying to rediscover herself, and to do that, she went back to a more basic sound. We should probably get more diverse music in coming albums, she just had to get it off her chest.

I'm a sucker for succinct, pointed titles for songs. So, my complaint is only that these two song titles don't have that initial wonder to them that I'm used to with Ayu.

I'm bad at explaining things lol I get your point though. It seems plausible that after Party queen-LOVE again-Colours personal life drama she wanted to create some simple music. |

However, after almost 20 years in the business, I think titles are going to get a little wacky for anyone who has done an album a year for those nearly 20 years. Someone with Ayu's catalog would probably be struggling but she is still keepin' on. And I see what you mean, but a lot of the issue with LOVE again was that it was old demos that were meant for older albums. A ONE and sixxxxxx are intentionally the way they are and I think this album will be the true test of whether or not she still "has it" and hopefully she brings us that surprise or two that she used to, like a kiss o' kill or criminal. Personally, I felt like Colours was an entire album of extreme changes for her aside from like two tracks, so maybe that is why she's holding back a bit after doing an ENTIRE ALBUM of unusual stuff (for her). To go for urban AND trance AND "Beyonce pop" AND 00s/10s "dance" AND other things all in one album, it was just.. a lot.
