^^Ummm or read my post more clearly. I honestly wasn't sure if the post was sarcastic, because I believe so many are tired of the same old, boring, mid-tempo pop songs. They all sound "safe" and the same.
Mundane taste meaning there's no variety...and there isn't, if you want the same thing over and over. Even though a lot of us here are hoping for upbeat tracks, we wouldn't ALWAYS want them...then we'd get bored of them too. Isn't variety the spice of life? That's all I'm saying. You can like whatever the hell you want. lol

Just to explains why I said I prefer FIVE:
Both FIVE and Memorial Address include two tracks I absolutely adore. progress/BRILLANTE and forgiveness/Memorial Address. But the rest of Memorial Address is simply nothing special to me. With the exception of HANABI ~Episode II~, ourselves and Because of You - but ONLY performed live since I don't like the studio versions. Greatful Days? Probably my least favorite Ayumi song together with AUDIENCE and Fly High. ANGEL's SONG? Catchy but not on one level with the rest. No way to say...? Really tacky and the same song she has released 15 times before, I enjoy it live but it's nothing new or especially great in any way. For FIVE I like every song in one way or another in the studio versions and except for beloved every song is something new for Ayumi in one way or another. And when you look at the amount of songs included FIVE has a bigger part of songs I really love. 40% compared to Memorial Address' 25%. So...that explains my love for FIVE.

ooh this is interesting! I asked Timmy when I met him if he was involved in the recordings and he said something like 'at the moment I'm just going to the studio with ayu but not singing' and I said to him 'you can't tell us anyway, can you ' hahaha
The rockish sound and Timmy's punk looking clothes (I think he's wearing a jacket on top to keep warm) makes sense. The site asking for extras wanted people with extreme looks. So maybe part of this rockish pv is set in an alternative night club. I love that she lets the place she's recording/filming influence her work (altho they tend to be stereotypes XD e.g. rnrc and mirrorcle world). |

I don't really think FIVE is better but finally someone not talking about how ~amazing & flawless~ Memorial address is . There are really only 3 outstanding songs on there imo (Memorial address, Because of You, HANABI ~ep 2~) the rest are either terrible or just ok.

She's not done the style in Crossroad and November for a while, until Love Songs. My taste is not mundane because I enjoy a certain style from her, I don't just listen to Ayu. :p Again, I think she's done too much rock, and Ayu rock isn't my cup of tea. |

We don't even have any singles to tell what direction she's heading, and many times we can't even trust that.

No, I meant from how we're finding out all these little pieces of information so far in advance, how one PV is set in a club so most people are drawing parallels to Lady Dynamite, how it's also set in London, etc.

Greatful days and Humming 7/4 are two good examples. If you ask which song do you hate of Memorial Address and MY STORY, those two would be on first positions. And I never get why people hate them so much, because there is not anything wrong with them. But you're right, this is kinda a senseless discussion because everyone has their own tastes. I was just curious lol.

Because of you is also overrated. Meh.
I really think that previous works are glorified just because they are previous. At the moment she releases them everyone is like 'omg the worst thing ever, whats wrong with her, what the hell is she thinking, her career is over forever, im done with my life'. |

I get why people might not like Greatful days, but I don't really get why everyone thinks it's so annoying. Like zeke said, it's not sickeningly cutesy like glitter, Beautiful Fighters, etc. but it gets so much more hate than they do for being "annoying." idgi.

I hope this album will be nothing like RnRC, it's my only wish.
Timmy's red diaper reminds me of Lady Dynamite, and I really dislike this song... And I don't want another "rock-wannabe" album. RnRC got the looks, but included 3 "rock-vibed" songs (LD, Microphone and countdown and the real rocky-vibe was only Microphone) I love Ayu rockvibed songs but closer to Memorial, My Story, I am or (m)u. I don't want them to be as massive as on GUILTY (they still feells a little too weird for me, but I still like em) Ayu's music genres are very diffrent, so the themed-albums doesn't fit her well. (Love songs was a little confusing with the title) And please, no cutesy-rock covers with "innocent lamb" eye-look like RnRC. If Ayu wants to do something with a sharp claw, then it should be something like FIVE or talkin' 2 myself (or even NEVER EVER) covers. Something a lil' bit sexy, a lil bit edgy, and a lil bit of massive star. The harajuku-kawaii-cute-rock look doesn't fit Ayu. I wish the title/covers/theme can fit the wise-world of her songs, cause I'm hoping that not all the songs will be in one "genre" cause it's kinda surrealistic idea (she never done that in studio albums not including ASfxx, but NEXT LEVEL was kinda close ;D) Last edited by pepper; 30th November 2011 at 03:42 AM. |

I've been listening to Akiko Shikata, and I think Ayu should ask her kindly to arrange/compose a song or two for her if she'd be willing. Her arrangements are amazing, and she draws from classical music, of which Ayu seems to be fond as of late.
