I love love love petal!genius!^^

Looks like Song 4 u and Wake Me Up are being used as promotional songs...

Just listened to Gloria.

Absolutely amazing. Perfection. I could go on, but I won't! :heart

I don't like the verses :no

thanks for Gloria link!! so far my top 1 is still Bye-bye darling/petal (can't tell which is better)

Thanks! For now my top favorites are Gloria and petal!

It's so interesting how the verses are kind of haunting and depressing and then the chorus is just explodes with this optimicstic sound :) I'm in love with the chorus and the bridge.:love I hope this is a new concert ender.

Thank you! Loved this for sure! its like unique and special when Ayu made this simple yet nice comparison rather hern "wing" or dream whatever her style before :P

thank you! Loved this too! I love how the arrangement in this album is very unique and rich for each song, I mean you can feel the emotion in the melody, I realized that I love how the guitar riff in Gloris's, petal 's and Untitled for her 2's sounded, so nostalgic :love

ok is it just or everyone else knew this already? Im listening now and it happened that the You & Me is from A classical version! not the original mix version

^ I didn't know that either! :O

I don't think it was ever mentioned?

oh my god, these lyrics... choco you're doing a great job of translating by ear and i think these are probably some of her darkest and saddest lyrics i've heard in a while.

GLORIA's bridge... WWOOOOWW

so someone told me that it is the one's who ripped the CD decision to put the You & Me A classical version the original studio album version will have You & Me the original version, so take note everyone,dont confuse this ^^

Ah, it was all too good to be true anyway.

YES. ding ding ding, lightbulb. The one thing I'm not super good at is figuring out when doing this by ear is figuring out where the 'breaks' come in, if that makes sense? So it didn't occur to me that the whole first part was a single section. Your input on untitled was perfect too, thank you~

:sheyhey thanks bb~

Gloria is the last one...

I'm really, really pleased with this album. It flows wonderfully (except You&Me can do DIAF) and I'm so happy with the new tracks. :love

task'n'bass is WOW. was NOT expecting that sort of opening. Love the ending sound too. It feels so..cyber and futuristic :D
glasses is rather ethereal and cool too. I love the string-y sounds..

these two interludes are really good! to my surprise haha.

I said it in another thread but I'll repeat it here to see if anyone else feels the same vibe: LOVE again is making me uncomfortable, which is the first for any Ayu record, because it just sounds so raw and vulnerable. I don't even mean raw like her darker tracks and albums, which are all very fierce in an angry way, I mean that this album from front to end just feels like this weak, fragile part of Ayu that she's putting out there and I almost feel really rude for acknowledging it. Hell, I didn't even feel this way when listening to GUILTY ffs.

Gloria reminds me of girlish/something old.

I really like that catchy mellow chorus.
<3

Lyrically it harks back to (miss)understood (about opening a map to find your own way), as well as talkin' 2 myself (accepting the reality in front of your eyes), and yet it sounds so pretty and uplifting, exactly like girlish lol.
