It's very different yet at the same time the notes she holds sounds like Last Links sped up. The verses are extremely good but the chorus failed to carry the momentum in my opinion. Overall still a very good song.

I just know Love song is going to become my new favorite song next to Last angel. :yes

OMG SPAZZING.

I haven't gotten this feeling from an Ayu song on the first listen since Secret came out. :heart

I feel the same way. As weird as it sounds, I get the same feeling listening to this as I got when I first heard "evolution"--that exciting feeling of hearing something completely and utterly new for the first time. I have chills! I think Ayu is one of the most consistent artists when it comes to making high quality pop songs, but it's been awhile since she's given me that feeling. lovelovelove "Love song." I really can't wait for the album now.

Love song is epic. The way she uses her voice is so interesting and....yeah, the song is just interesting lol
Love it. This year has been fantastic for Ayu music =D

Ayumiko 4th December 2010 10:07 AM

OMG...I'm in love!!! Love the composition, arrangement, and the way ayu sang it...so different! Can't wait for the whole album!!:luv2

wanna see live for love song, can't wait

hell's_belle 4th December 2010 10:27 AM

song is good, but it's not amazing. Feels really typical and expected to me for some reason...

it's good though, glad it wasn't another boring ballad :D

ownsarai 4th December 2010 10:30 AM

^How could you 'expect' this from ayu? :shrug
And typical? What other song does she have remotely like this in terms of composition and arrangement?
Unless you were watching the preview endlessly until this leak, I just don't get how its expected and typical...

I can't explain it, but when I heard it it just sounds like... something she would do. Almost painfully so it rings of it being obviously a song by Ayumi Hamasaki. To the point where it almost feels boring. I hate that I feel like this, but I can't control it, I really really want to love it and find it to be the most amazing thing ever... I just don't.

I mean it's clicking with me more and more as I keep listening to it, but I wish it was able to capture me on round one

Rebirthia 4th December 2010 10:36 AM

regarding the lyrics (didn't heard a bit of the song yet)... and according to truehappiness idea... maybe, she made a word play again, implying she loves music [(I) Love songs] and that she offers us a collection of [Love songs]
Ummmm, like SURREAL... I doubt anything like that can happen again...

puddinx 4th December 2010 10:42 AM

(*o*)
It's abnormally good imo.
Anda I agree, the arrangement and composition is interesting

Larisa-chan 4th December 2010 10:43 AM

Wow, those bigger pictures of the album's covers are REALLY pretty ... the CD+DVD doesn't look quite as bad anymore, ahaha. I kind of want the USB version now, but for practical reasons I have to go with the CD version.

As for the song Love Songs... VERY UNEXPECTED!!! Very refreshing composition/arrangement. It has a nice touch of rock (I like how the guitar solo comes out of nowhere near the beginning), but it's nothing out of control. It's a new sound from Ayu, but it still has that Ayu touch to it. I like how it's not completely repetitive like songs such as Moments or Dolls. This is also a song I could listen to over and over again. Mm, the only thing I don't really like is her voice. My goodness, it sounds really bad in some parts :(

Listen to it!!
I wanted to keep away from any leaks until I had the album in my hands, too, but after I saw the preview of Love song PV I couldn't resist. I swear, you won't get bored with this song, ever, or ruin any surprise. Because not listening to this song is just unneccesarry tortue. It is just amazing!! :heart:heart It will make you even more excited for the full album!

Her voice in "Love song" sounds so reminiscent of her Duty/I am.../RAINBOW period...it's so brilliant! It's weird, but one of the things I love about Ayu is that her intonation of pitch class isn't always perfect in live performances, yet it just reminds me that she is only a human being trying to express her emotions through music.

HanabiChick 4th December 2010 10:56 AM

After seeing the covers in bigger sizes, I like all of them, the CD+DVD cover looks better. I've just heard Love song, and I like it, a lot. I'm looking forward to hearing the other new songs.

ayufan- 4th December 2010 10:59 AM

OMG love song is awsome!
First time listened it, it was a bit boring, but when i listened a second time, it just became better and better! It's awsome.
It gave me the feeling of NEXT LEVEL (song) but less electronic, more emotional, but way better. I AM IN LOVE with it, can't wait for the other songs!

truehappiness 4th December 2010 11:02 AM

I think the weird artifacting of the first leak of the covers really didn't allow people to see how pretty they were. Thankfully the larger versions are so clear!
