Up-beat and awesomeness songs! I'm particularly curious about do it again. Would be kind of cool if it was a full song in English, haha!

No. Never. Ayu's English occasionally sounds alright, but most of the time her accent bothers me. She should never ever have a full song in English, because there is no way it would sound right.

+1

^ Her english is unpredictable. She sounds WEIRD in Dream ON, but quite good in do it again. But i don't think her english suits enough for a whole song.

[Picaflor 7/4]

I love it when she sings in english. Gives us something fresh to listen to.

Anyways my favorites are love song, last angel, insomnia, do it again, and i forgot the name of the other one i like XD.

[brener]

it's strange because BoA and Utada (and other singers that now I don't remeber) can sing perfectly in english...

i don't know if i can use Utada as an exemple by the fact she was born american... anyways i don't feel like wishing to hear ayu singing a song entirely in english, it just doesnt fit her in my opinion...

[miroro]

omg, the previews
didn't expect something THIS awesome ._.
sending mail, november, do it again, thank u & like a doll sounds really really amazing and really different from what ayu usually bring us!!
and so the interludes, im loving how aria sounds

[PoetGirl]

omg im so happy to read all this positive comments while waiting for album to arrive.

[HELVENEUE]

Honestly I think this album is more of the same. The only track I'm looking forward to is "Thank U", which sounds like it belongs on NEXT LEVEL (very similar to "Bridge to the sky").

[Ranma Matsuri]

like seriously why oh why isn't insomnia a song? T.T I just cannot get over how awesome it sounds, this could easily become my favorite interlude of hers. ARIA is pretty damn good as well... such a vast improvement over those shite RnRC interludes.

Also currently loving Like a doll, do it again, and Thank U. I still can't get a good read on sending mail though... I need to hear the full, I'm liking that chorus the more I listen to it though. November leaves the least impression on me atm but I do like it when I'm listening to it, sounds lovely.

I agree that it does fall into that same category of 90's dance pop but it doesn't sound a bit like SIGNAL imo.

[truehappiness]

This album's got some really REALLY good flow. Man~

[brener]

im a bit afraid of the 90ish vibe people are talkin about... i dont feel like loving it :~ anyways i wont hear the previews... ill just hear the songs when my copy arrives at my door *-*

anyone? but i think it's just a similarity from the short preview, cause (AND I HOPE) it will fasten up or just change the lyrics

All I hear from "do it again" is Last angel! Like I mentioned on twitter, it's like Last angel ~part 2~! XDD

[freedreamer]

Im with Neko, Poetgirl and brener ahaha..waiting for my dear album.
I'll survive on you guys comments. Garhhhh It feels too awesome reading all these positivity especially after reading the chakauta comments.
Im so pumped.

So..this album tops RnRC?..hahaa..
from i get, it feels like the album is kinda dark and dreamy? celtic, dolls, orchestra..i duno HAHA..

should i even watch the Commercial this time round?

[love in music]

for her next single, I really hope she'll have an acoustic orchestra version of November. seriously am touched just by the preview of that song.. she sounds like she's about to cry ;_;

BoA's actually taking English lessons and learning English for real, while Ayu seems to be self-taught, she is slowly getting a hang of it. Utada, BONNIE PINK, Yuna Ito, Angela Aki, m-flo guys etc. have spent at least some time living in the States and they were all fluent in English before they even started doing music XD Some people have it in them, the others don't.

Second this.

God, I just love all the previews and the entire album seems so balanced

[Mirrorcle Monster]

I know everything will be better in full, but the previews are kind of disappointing...

That is why I usually avoid it!!!!n___n

[Raleigh]

I am going to try not to listen to the album too until there are full songs

[relmy]

do it again was a surprise, can't wait to hear the full version. I love Overture.

I'm neutral right now, I feel like these are the kind of songs you can't judge based on a short clip. Couldn't with crossroad, VR, LA etc... I like the feel of this album, none of the overdramatics of RnRC, it's dramatic in a subtle way~
