I've been thinking. These are the kind of songs that would really benefit from a sort of revamp in ayu's arrangements. Like there are just skmements that could be thrown in there or removed that would make perfection. They're fine as is from the previews, but I think they need I something to spice them up a little I think.
I think she's at a good place again though. She shpuldnjust continue to build back up from here. |

I can't help but admit that this is the first time I'm not excited about the new release...

I wish Ayu could be an interesting artist...it seems like she's just decided to wave the white flag and just make safe Jpop midtempos to appease her core Team Ayu fanbase. Meanwhile Shiina Ringo and others are coming out with fresh and new stuff.. |

I'm totally loving all three previews! I love how "Sorrows" is so rock-ish, "Shape of love" is a bit on the romantic/dramatic side & "Sky high" is just so fresh & upbeat to listen to. I'm positively looking forward to listening to the whole mini-album, now!

Sky high has caught my attention. I can't really judge the other two yet until I hear longer previews or the full songs.

I think it'll be hard for her to experiment nowadays especially with the shorter albums she's putting out with nearly no singles.
Who knows though, she seems like she's inspired enough to go back to the 14+ track albums one day.

I quite like Shape of Love. Melody sounds really beautiful.
This mini is definitely better than her last mini to me. |

The album is way better than A ONE - A ONE was like 3 uptempo tracks and the rest was ballads, and this one have only one (finally...) but I miss her "experimental" and "epic" tracks like BRILLANTE/Return Road etc. It lacks of that songs, it does have one rock track that might really blow me away (I can't really judge it now) but the rest is 4 medium tracks that 3 of them are nearly the same type and one it's just basic (REALLY basic) trancy-pop track which make this album kinda bland. But I really like Summer diary, it does have fantastic, fresh atmosphere. Plus I might really like Sky high cause it reminds me of fairyland. But well, from previews I remember only "Sayonara" chorus (well, it's pretty easy to remember) and anti-melodic Sorrows chorus which makes me kinda mad, because the rest of the song (arragment, lyrics, piano etc) sounds pretty awesome and I can't focus on the melody of this song. It sound pretty chaotic to me.

LOL i just heard the 45s ver of Sky High and gosh...what the pre-chorus does. I love it more knowing it builds up. That pre-chorus form really is similar to Step by step due to the key raise. Must be a kumuro track but I love how energetic it is

it's not like there's this rule that every fan has to enjoy every single thing she releases ^^ for me it doesn't have to be new, it has to be great, I have to love it but I'm not loving it

I'm really loving this album, I've been loving everything Ayu has done since Party Queen (except for 1/2 of Love again) I'm glad to see that she's back, she's still experimental enough but she's not all over the place like in the middle of her career. She's back to her roots and everything she's releasing is gold
