really interesting! :luv2
& THIS

So glad she's got some dark, downbeat material on this album <3 party queen had me worried we were going to get an album full of her cookie-cutter upbeat stuff.

In no way was "sexy little things" jazz.

Of all the songs Eyes, Smoke, Magic peaks my interest the most.

It's so different from any other titles Ayu has ever had...

But ESM doesn't hv a mv :(

UGH THREE INTERLUDES! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

:(

I was really hoping one of those three would be a full song - maybe, just maybe she'll "mirror" them and we'll get full songs eventually? ;_______; They're just such awesome track names!

The lyrics sound interesting, but it's very hard to get an idea of the song just from a few words :) Makes me excited about the music, though!!

I can't wait!!

Same here :(

^ Oh, don't be like that. It can be something crazy/edgy/weird I guess.

3 interludes is kinda much, especially when I don't think highly about Ayu's interludes, only few of them really stand out.

What were some of you guys expecting ?
She's had at least 3 interludes in her last five albums, and this one has ZERO singles tracks. Be happy it's not 4 or 5 interludes.
Seriously wtf. :rolleyes Guess people need her to release 20 new songs at once to be pleased.

I wasn't expecting any less interludes, I knew this was coming. But I just pointed the fact it's still too much and actually I don't think she should do 20 track for one album. There are many great albums which contain about 10 songs without interludes, like Ayu's MA. And (m)u would have still been perfect even without those boring interludes. Interludes aren't always needed to make the album flow, but whatever. :innocent

I'm so eager to read the lyrics of this album.

Me too... i want to know the rest and listen to the music, like yesterday!

It's obvious there was going to be at least 3 interludes, the rumors even stated there would be 4 so I'm pretty happy. What I mean is that people should really stop complaining about the obvious.
And I actually like interludes so yeah. :laugh (except when the title was really interesting like "insomnia")

I don't think I've ever needed an interlude to make an album flow, I never listen to them and it all sounds fine. I think intro tracks are cute though, when they're like Not Yet, Bridge to the Sky or everlasting dream oh, and Mirror, basically if they have vocals.

Ideally, I think 1 intro and 1 interlude is the maximum I can handle, anymore feels like bulking up the tracklist.

When the chaku-uta first came out... the website described it as a swing pop song... so yeah... it's jazzy.

I don't think she's necessarily addressing her own father in that song, maybe her sugar daddy or something? :shrug

^ lol.. what you talking about... she IS the sugar daddy!

LOL last time I checked, ayu was a girl... :innocent

This. One trumpet does not make a jazz song.
