Previews out for the other three tracks are out!

Sorrows definitely has the Memorial address/Last minute feel. Something about her vocals in Sorrows is also a bit like ASFXX's vocals to me, but way less screechy.

Shape of love has the H/\L "piano" sound and actually the same vibe as ever free IMO.

Sky high is cheerful and uplifting like the title though I don't think Ayu has many songs like this... it kind of reminds me of ELT's Graceful World a bit.

Now that we have heard a bit of everything, I think Ayu is definitely more focused than ever. Very classic J-Pop for the whole release except for maybe Sayonara.

To me Sky High sounds like summer song done right, gives me the same feeling as fairyland which is good because I don't like any of the recent summer songs including Step by Step, Feel the love or You and me



Nothing special so far, I'll wait for the full version. EDIT: OK, it was a bit rushed, I'm starting to like it a lot already.



I like it so far but I'll wait for full version before judging.

Thank you! I think I have to wait for the full songs to say if I like them, but so far it sounds promising.

Nothing to be crazy about for now imp, but they definitely are growers. Most ballads on A ONE didn't surprise me at first but ended up in my top 20 songs! Sorrows sounds great, Shape of love sounds decent and could go both ways, Sky high will be entertaining for a couple of weeks but not more I don't think.
I'm just slightly disappointed by the lack of EDM-ish track, but it's a solid release, better than what she usually releases in summer!

By first listening I surprisingly like Sky High the least.
But it's just short previews.
I didn't like the preview for Summer Diary at all, but I like the full version.
So far the only song I don't like is Step by Step.

I think Sorrows is a grower. I don't think is like Memorial address/Last minute, more like (miss)understood. I think it'll be a good song and original. Rock Ayu never disappointed me.

I need to listen full Shape Of Love and Sky High, but I like them.

Hmmm..this whole release gives me ASFxx & MA vibes. The singing, the arrangements, the covers..
Sayonara is out of place.
I won.t judge until I hear the full songs. If Step by step grew on me, everything is possible.

No bell sound

Previews are short so I can't 100% sure if I "yeah" or "meh", so I wait for my copy for the full length song listening. But I like SbS, Summy Diary & Sayonara (meh the male part).

Next week, may be I can get mine in the 2nd week

Sorry to be the one that breaks it to you, but listen to the (longer) previews from Amazon: there's a bell sound in Sky High just before the moment when the YouTube preview starts... She can't help it ahaha!

Thanks for the previews.
So far everything sounds alright like a continuation of A One. I don't see sixxxxxx standing on its own in terms of sound. But since I loved A One I'm down with it.

Sky High - TK song?

Sorrows - Kinda cool...need to hear the progress on the song...if not..this can be very flat

Shape of love - very touching..very Ayu-ish

I think the concept of the album totally changed from upbeat only into emotional songs

and the most positive note..her vocal is so good

they're wonderful. I love all of them. and as Uknow! said it Sorrows doesn't sound as MA or LM.

As A ONE, this mini-album will be flawless.

From what I heard so far, I like Sorrows and Sky high more. Shape of love is kinda boring to me but i will wait for the full version to judge.
