MY STORY - what do you think?
 

slow songs or upbeat?

1. Catcher In The Light - I think this one is similar to "I am...".. or, I hope so.. kinda rockish.

2. About You - this one we know.

3. GAME - ^

4. my name's WOMAN - I only heard e few seconds of this. sort of trancie? real me? well, fill me in.

5. WONDERLAND - ok, this is an interlude. I think this one is more slow.. a chiller.. cause I think the next song is a ballad

6. Liar - reminds me of SCAR

7. HOPE or PAIN - this is more upbeat, like Free and Easy, ballad/upbeat.

8. HAPPY ENDING - this one I'm not sure about.

9. Moments - ballad

10. walking proud - ballad?

11. CAROLS - ballad.

12. Kaleidoscope - the second interlude. faster, more powerful. cause next song is fast.

13. INSPIRE - upbeat.

14. HONEY - jeez, what could this be? hope not a ballad thou...

15. Replace - think about ourselves, rnb kind of...

16. winding road - ok, one of CREA's masterpieces, this must be good :luv2 sounds like an ballad.

17. Humming 7/4 - CREA's. this one is a mystery. maybe she's only humming.. or just sings very quietly, like a soft lullaby.


So, what do you think? ^^;

i think "humming 7/4" will not be a "humming only" song...

because there is a PV for it..

TeamAyu lists it as "my name's WOMEN". I highly doubt they would change the song's title...

We NEVER know... ;)

But It would be cool with only humming, that song would really stand out from the rest. :D

hmmm it's not really changing the song title so much as correcting a typo. i really hope its a typo...it really is better as my name's woman...

I don't believe it's a typo! I would be really disappointed if it would!

I'm really excited about this album, I love the titles of the songs and CREA's back, so Wonderland should be great!

I like My Name's WOMEN more than WOMAN, it just seems cooler to me. :D
Didn't it say Women in the Panasonic commercial though? Not sure if that was a typo or not.

aww it's not that bad!! it's just kind of odd for ayu to have such an engrish-y title! besides, it would be easy to make that kind of a typo o.o

Exactly! It was written "my name's WOMEN" in the Panasonic add!

And Panasonic adds never contained typos!

Why is it ENGRISH? It's correct gramatically, it just has a symbolic meaning.... I don't understand why people say the title is engrish? It's perfectly fine to me!

calm. well in english generally you would never say that. it's odd. that's all. not that you can't manipulate english or anything however coming from people who might not be masters at the english language, its easy to peg this for a typo. that's why people say that.

Okay, here goes:

1. Catcher In The Light - I think this song will probably build, like M or Free & Easy. But I think it will be an optimistic if not entirely happy song.

2. About You - This one we know from the commercial. I thinks it's gonna be so cool. =^.^=

3. GAME - Rock. We've heard this one.

4. my name's WOMEN - I'm not sure how to describe what this song sounds like. I think it'll be a independent, 'power to us' kinda song.

5. WONDERLAND - I think will be a really mystical 'moonlight on the glittery forest' kinda song. I think it will be really pretty.

6. Liar - This makes me think of a cross between End of the World and I am..., sound wise.

7. HOPE or PAIN - I actually think this will be a more rock-like song.(Anyone every heard Gackt's doomsday ? I think it'll be kinda like that.)

8. HAPPY ENDING - This ones pretty open, it could be ballad, it could rock/pop. It could be happy or sad. Very open.

9. Moments - We know this one.

10. walking proud - From the commercial, this sounds like a ballad. But who knows, it could do a 180

11. CAROLS - We've heard this. It's a ballad.

12. Kaleidoscope - I think this will be a kind of spiraling song. Fast.

13. INSPIRE - Heard this. Pop, upbeat.

14. HONEY - This could be an Ayu sexy song. :lech You never know, it could be her Vanilla.

15. Replace - I'm not so sure about this one. I think it'll be sad, though.

16. winding road - I agree that this title suggests a ballad. A 'continueing on into the distance' kinda song. Maybe a little sad.

17. Humming 7/4 - This has been a hotly debated song! Is is 24/7? Or is it in a 7/4 time signature? Or is it a date? And is it really just humming, or something else. I, personally, can't wait to hear this one.


That wasn't so hard. :)

@ Hazard: Ayu's Vanilla? :laugh I hope not, I can't see Ayu doing any songs like that.

Now that it's official...

1. Catcher In The Light - I'm thinking something kind of twinkly and gentle for this one, maybe just because of the word "light", so it's probably off. Making me think a bit of Dolls but more upbeat.

2. About You - sounds cool so far.

3. GAME - Heard it, and I like it.

4. my name's WOMAN - This one reminds me of Naturally and sounds absolutely awesome so far. I am dying for a full version.

5. WONDERLAND - I'm thinking another twinkly sounding one like the interludes on RAINBOW.

6. Liar - I'm thinking something along the lines of Because of You! Or maybe I'm just hoping that?

7. HOPE or PAIN - Maybe something like HANABI ~episode II~ or NEVER EVER.

8. HAPPY ENDING - I have no idea what to expect, just hopefully NOTHING even REMOTELY reminiscient of Avril.

9. Moments - power ballad, nice.

10. walking proud - ballad, we THINK...I'd love it if it was one of those morphing songs.

11. CAROLS - gentle ballad, pretty. ^-^

12. Kaleidoscope - I agree with the majority that this would be more upbeat to lead into INSPIRE. :yes

13. INSPIRE - Upbeat, poppy, I'm one of the ones who actually likes this song.

14. HONEY - Unfortunately, this makes me think of other stars like BoA and Koda Kumi...so I hope it will surprise me and not sound like another Real me, which is what I'm currently dreading. It's a generic title, please let the song be exactly opposite that.

15. Replace - I'm hoping for a rockish song, but I'm hoping that for most of the unknowns anyway. :P

16. winding road - CREA, yay. Probably a ballad.

17. Humming 7/4 - CREA, double yay. I'm dying to hear this one, a total mystery.

actually "my name's WOMEN" isn't gramatically correct because 'women' is plural, and one person can't be women.

M1.Catcher In The Light - No idea....
M2.About You - heard
M3.GAME -heard (best song is 2004 IMO)
M4.my name's WOMAN - Hanabi?
M5.WONDERLAND - Sounds like ballad to me
M6.Liar - Again, sounds like ballad
M7.HOPE or PAIN - Rockish?
M8.HAPPY ENDING -Rockish? (Avril Lavigne's MY Happy Ending? lol)
M9.Moments - heard..heh good songs too
M10.walking proud - Popish?
M11.CAROLS -heard..blah dislike this song
M12.Kaleidoscope - Popish?
M13.INSPIRE -Heard...OK song
M14.HONEY -Ballad maybe
M15.Replace - again..prob ballad
M16.winding road -Ballad?
M17.Humming 7/4 -Ballad?

Reustl: mostly ballad..NO!!! I want more songs like Naturally, Game, Connected, Etc..

But if my mother names my sister "Women", she can say "My name's Women." lol It's not wrong. One person can't be women, but his/her name can XD

1. Catcher In The Light -It seems something like M for me. But I wish this was more like "Unwritten", from Natasha Bedingfield. o_O'

2. About You - I HATE the preview, so I think it'll be a horrible song.

3. GAME - We already know it. ^^

4 - my name's WOMEN - I loved this preview, sure it'll be a good song.

5. WONDERLAND - A soft, relieving song maybe? o_O

6. Liar - Rockish.

7. HOPE or PAIN - Ballad.

8. HAPPY ENDING - Something very happy like Greatful Days /o/

9. Moments - *---*~

10. walking proud - Loved the preview too, might be one of my favourites!

11. CAROLS - Like it very much!

12. Kaleidoscope - Something that starts slow then it turns to be fast.

13. INSPIRE - Blergh.

14. HONEY - Mariah's Cover.

15. Replace - Balladish.

16. winding road - Christmas song!! lol Of course not. I don't know.

17. Humming 7/4 - "Where is the line" - Something very like to this Björk song. Impossible ¬¬. NO IDEA.

aren't interludes is usually trance-like song??
so..

1. Catcher In The Light - blend of I am..and evolution

2. About You - we know

3. GAME - same^^

4. my name's WOMAN - Naturally 2!!!!

5. WONDERLAND - prolly something like opening Run, taskinillusion etc

6. Liar - more angry version of End of the Worl

7. HOPE or PAIN - power ballad..like M or Free & Easy

8. HAPPY ENDING - something like Greatful days

9. Moments - ballad

10. walking proud - pop/rock

11. CAROLS - ballad.

12. Kaleidoscope - also a trancey song but with electric guitars and lots of bass

13. INSPIRE - upbeat and asian influenced song

14. HONEY - pop/ballad like Dearest

15. Replace - Because of you type of popish rock..

16. winding road - song like evolution!!!

17. Humming 7/4 - ballad song...like SEASONS

I'm not gonna guess every song, I have a feeling this album will be a lot like RAINBOW, only better, a lot of ballads is what I expect. Let's all hope for the best!

I'm guessing...

Catcher In The Light - Hmm... What was the last song CMJK composed? Was it 'Over'? I'm not really expecting it to sound like that song though. I'm guessing rock. Even though something is telling me jazz. The title sounds very jazzy for some reason. Reminds me of Mika Nakashima's 'Venus In The Dark'.

Liar - New composer. I'm kinda guessing another heavy rock song, I hope its not like GAME or BoY though... -_-

HOPE or PAIN Something tells me it will start out as a slow ballad and turn into a power ballad. Maybe like 'Free & Easy'...

HAPPY ENDING I think a rockish ballad... This song title seems to emphasize on the albums title. Maybe it will be a stand-out track then.

HONEY Sounds like a ****ty song to me... Maybe its like INSPIRE, considering that its right after it.

Replace KAZUHITO KIKUCHI. All I know is that it should KICK ASS. Maybe it will be like 'SURREAL'.

winding road Ballad... By CREA! YES!

humming 7/4 I think this song is going to be awesome, I don't know why, I have a feeling this will be the stand-out track. I can't even guess what kind of song it will be...

I hope there is a hidden track too. :)

NOW YOU CAN CHECK AND SEE!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEE!

1. looks like everlasting dream...
2. superb the greatest hits! o mi god i love about you
3. as usual...
4. wooooowww...
5. playground lullaby --"
6. nice
7. nice
8. nice
9. as usual...
10. nice ballads
11. carols? ..
12. wooo... nice interlude...
13. as usual
14. catchy tone
15. nice (sound like trauma)
16. nice (wow)
17. independenish... ^^

I like it... I REALLY llike it :yes :yes :yes

in the official website, it is listed as my name's WOMEN

and i think happy ending will be a pop song, a bit like gretful days..

as for honey...i just hope it has no resemblance to mariah carey's honey song

*excited* ^_^ Although I must say some of these styles are more like a style any other jpop singer would use, I love ALL the songs! because I know the lyrics will rock! =D

=\ Im still in shock, but at the same time Im glad its completly diffrent from what I thought it would be. I dont know what to think.

Sorry to say, but from the samples, it sounds really bad. The only reason I'm buying it is to get Moments and CAROLS, and buying the album (OS CD only) is cheaper than buying the two singles...

If I had to rate it with just the sample album tracks I'd give it maybe a 5/10 at the highest...

Catcher in the Light and Kaleidoscope, both interludes, were the only decent sounding songs. My name's WOMAN (WOMEN, who cares?) sounded better in the CM than in the sample...

Better than RAINBOW as well as the songs on Memorial Address ^.^;; I think all the songs on MY STORY are solid :)

I also poorly conducted my way through all of the previews... all songs so far except for Kaleidoscope and Humming 7/4 are in 4/4 time. Kaleidoscope seems to be in 3/4 time, and Humming 7/4 starts off into a very fast 4/4 time but when it goes into the heavy rock part it changes time to... I don't know what! But it breaks from 4/4! Sorry, I have very very basic conducting skills :D

From the previews, the only thing I'm feeling is.
> RAINBOW (The preview for 'Real me' and 'Heartplace' sounded REALLY bad. XP)
< Memorial Address

None of the songs make me go "I can't wait for the full version of this song!". Which is sad. :(

yup i relli like About You, and i agree with most of your opinions

One thing that irritates me deeply are the previews for About You. I don't think the chorus is all that exceptional but there is this guitar that always starts playing the moment the song is cut and I keep on wondering how that part will sound but they ALWAYS cut it when that part will begin. LOL Now I'm eager to listen to the whole song just to listen to that part.

Overall, it sounds good. I thought towards the end the tracks seemed weak, and then the last two tracks were better. I'm not sure about the first track, will wait to hear the full version before I decide about that one, and the one track I know I don't like is Honey - it sounds worse than Greatful days, INSPIRE and Angel's Song.

I really like this album! The songs are really nice! I think it IS better than RAINBOW (which I really liked)...

01. Catcher In The Light - a nice intro, just like "everlasting dream" on RAINBOW

02. About You - nice song, i am really looking forward this one, the preview has a part of the verse that was not included in the CM and that's good :)

03. GAME - no comment needed, the song is well known.

04. my name's WOMEN - great, just great! I think it's my fav in this album! Sound so much better than in the CM! And the intro in the preview is just super! I'm REALLY looking forward this one!

05. WONDERLAND - i don't like the first interlude... CREA's back... but is it such a good thing? Besides that I don't like it and can't find it matching the whole album... it would be better if this track was not included...

06. Liar - really good. From the new songs that we have not heard before in any CMs this one is my fav.

07. HOPE or PAIN - a nice ballad (?) with sad lyrics - I want it!

08. HAPPY ENDING - ballad! ballad! i just can't wait to hear this song in full version while hugging my boyfriend... such a nice song...

09. Moments - I still like it so much! A great song!

10. walking proud - another song that I really want to hear in full version! My boyfriend says it's his fav in this album!

11. CAROLS - known from the single

12. Kaleidoscope - beautiful interlude! very ayuish!

13. INSPIRE - I'm a fan of this song from when it was released. I don't understand why most people dislike it. My not-ayu-fans friends say it's really nice and that they like it :)

14. HONEY - what can I say? ANGEL'S SONG meets Greatful days... might be fun, the only thing that bothers me is the "my honey" part at the beggining :P

15. Replace - don't know why but it reminds me of WE WISH that I really like! Very nice, happy, popish song!

16. winding road - nice melody... a ballad? a popish song? I don't really know :)

17. Humming 7/4 - worst song in my opinion.... really sounds to much like "+" from RAINBOW... I don't like it.... and the "everybody jump, everybody go" part... it reminds me of TRF which I dislike....

hmm, looks very interesting!!
I'll listen to the album previews soon!!

I was just thinking about it... HONEY sounds like it should be the opening of some romance anime hahaha

Yeah, I'm alot more excited by the verses and think I'll be satisfied much more by those. I find alot of her recent songs have better verses than choruses nowadays. =/

The line in 'About you' right before the chorus starts sounds pretty good to me too.

i think most of the titles are NOT good i.e Catcher In The Light, Liar, HOPE or PAIN, HAPPY ENDING, HONEY, Replace, winding road
:rolleyes

ayu should think again before releasing song titles
i hope the songs are better than their names
