Ayu team should put that on yamanote line.. Because yamanote line always crowded every day. I think it will be good promotion if they put it there.

Finally we back to see her face on the train..the last time I saw it is on A BEST promotion back to 2001.

I hope my big hope for Sixxxxxxx to sell well wont be crushed into pieces when looking on the reality.

Well it gives some awareness but unfortunately sixxxxxx has no hit song to make the mini album itself sell.

I also had the thought that they advertise it as an album but the price is lower.

Like it was with LOVE & again that there were like singles with mini albums price, so here it's the opposite, something they advertise as an album but the price is of a mini album (which the latter is better of course).

Nice promo! I wonder which line is this train promotion at. hopefully on a crowded one.

I haven't been listening to ayu for 2 or 3 months because I was somehow feeling disconnected to her. I've switched to more upbeat songs that got me dancing. But after listening to this mini, i really can't stop listening to Shape of love, Sayonara, Sorrows and Summer Diary. Her delicate voice in Shape of love and that strumming guitar breaks my heart. For me, only her music can bring instant feelings to her songs without even looking at the lyrics and I'm glad I'm getting those feelings with sixxxxxx. Now i feel bad for giving up on ayu a couple of months ago :(

Shape of love really has some epic melodrama feelz going on.
cant.stop.playing.it!!

Did anyone else notice that the beginning of Summer dairy and the ending of Shape of love have the same background bird sounds?

welcome back :yes

can't stop listening to the mini~~! :love:love

Yes..someone already stated about this before you as well..but I forgot who said it...

That's why I have a feeling that maybe we will get the continuation of summer diary PV on hopefully Shape of love PV that they still keep it as a secret..we will see..it's just my speculation though.

It was Kirshwasser, I think :yes

I love this mini-album (album?).

Shape of love is great.

Unfortunately, Sorrows is atrocious because of the poor sound engineering. The vocals are mixed way too loud, the levels are off.. it's just a mess.

Step by step - 3.5/5
cute and cheerful. I quite like it but not love it.
Summer diary - 3/5
It's fine. Quite boring...and that's all.
Sayonara feat. SpeXial - 4/5
This song should has been perfect without SpeXial. The beat and lyrics are amazing except SpeXial. I think they ruin this song so hard.
Sorrows - 4/5
Give me Last Minute vibe. Beautiful piano then turn to rock at chorus.
Shape of love - 4.5/5
LOVE the melody and chorus is catchy.
Sky High - 3/5
It's okay. Pretty song. Feel like it's an episode2 of Step by step.

Over all - 3.5/5
It's okay. Perfect for summer but it's obviously not Ayu best mini album. Noting could compare to Memorial Address.

I won't listen to the 'new album' until I get my copy but lol she should have just called it yukuuuuuumi and replaced sayonara with another Yukumi song.

I just listened to Sixxxxxx and liked every single track! :) Step by step and Sky high are the weakest ones compared to the others, but in general I think it's a pretty good mini-album, wish I could buy it :heart I hope it sells well, Ayu deserves that after delivering so many good songs! :yes

speaking of the Gazette.... Sorrows makes me think of 12012 and them... something about the arrangement and the tone of the song reminds me of their less aggressive songs like "Cassis" and "Over...". i think i might be crazy....lol

Lol Over is a great song. I haven't listened to 12012 in forever. Miss them. I would love ayu to make more music like visual-kei bands and what not.

I'm completely in love with this mini! :heart

After listening to it all I even started to like Sayonara more, though I wish it wasn't right in the middle, since it's the weakest track and kinda breaks the mood for me... oh well. But I love all the others, this mini is soooo good.

Except of the ballads, everything on "A ONE" sounds like that to me. Especially "WARNING", "Last minute" and "The Show Must Go On".

Btw: The instrumental/piano bridge in "Shape of love" is an almost exact copy of Asuca Hayashi's song "Huwari" (ふわり) from her album "Chou", released around 2005.

I will agree with that, Sorrows is also way too chaotic in arragment, the verses didnt match the chorus at all... I still love the Linkin park part lol

For me it would be sth like

Step by step - 5,5/10 It's a cute song, not really in my taste, but well, cute. And catchy lol but not something I want to listen to all the time

Summer diary - 7,5/10 This is REALLY oldschool and catchy. It sound kinda professional and well though from the begining to the end.

Shape of love - 4/10 it's ok I guess?

Sayonara - 5/10 generic trance-pop song. Nothing new. America and Asia have loads of that songs. I don't hate SpeXial voices though, they are very ok.

Sorrows - 5,5/10 Way too chaotic *melody etc* and loud. Love the scratchy part, why it doesn't have it more?:<

Sky high - 7,5/10 another well produced piece. Catchy and oldschool. I will not give Sky high and Summer diary higher notes because they are not really my taste though. But I apprieciate how good they sound and how catchy they are :)

All songs are composed by Yukumi except Sayonara?

Happened to me during a few months in 2013, i was like "what was i thinking? never again" haha

Sky High is my least favourite, i don't hate it but i want to skip it
