Shake It♥

Girls have magic that only girls can use.

reminds me

Everyone has one or two things they wish to forget.
But we can’t forget them because they’re a pain we mustn’t forget.

Tell me why

Why do you always shoulder the burden on your own?
Why do you always suffer on your own?
You blame yourself, saying “It’s all my fault.”

the next LOVE

When was the last time I was able to believe in things the eye can’t see?
I’ve become an adult, believing only the things I can see.
When was the last time I was able to love myself?
I’ve become an adult, resenting myself.

Eyes, Smoke, Magic

Yes, diamonds and roses are my best friends.
What has more value than those two things? Mama won’t tell me.

call

You held me tightly with those hands that wiped my warm tears
The feelings that I felt for the first time in my life nearly made me cry again
Hey, what in the world do I call that?

Blog entries from someone who went to the preview.

Someone talked about the PVs they saw!

It seems that Shake It♥ and NaNaNa are connected. Wow uh, this is gonna be weird to type but apparently Ayu's having a party in Shake It♥ at her apartment. It starts off in the bathroom or something where she's putting on makeup before going to have some drinks at the party. She gets a text message from Timmy saying "Come over here, ********!" (Seriously, I think that's what the text says.) then they go to the club and dance some more... the camera work is good too.

Return Road's PV features a masked soldier and Ayu appears out of a tank with some drones marching nearby. Ayu sings in her black veil/dress inside of the factory with a band while the factory falls apart. Ayu ends up outside of the factory unharmed with the masked soldier and she sees his face and cries. It seems that there's also a photo taken in Love song that's shown in the PV? It's a very sad PV.
---------------------
NaNaNa - dance track with a lot of English like Ladies Night, flows well from Party queen

Shake It♥ - erotic lyrics were surprising, very exciting with an intense rock sound

taskebab - Cool track, can see Yocchan playing it

call - medium ballad with a MOON/monochrome-esque atmosphere, self deprecating lyrics?

Letter - medium ballad, may change when performed live with a very relaxed atmosphere

reminds me - bears a resemblance to Duty. Dark, tough, serious and powerful rock tune.

Return Road - This is a godly song. Lyrics have divorce as a theme. Reminiscent of Free&Easy and kiss o' kill with organs/strings/chorus/piano.

Tell me why - Medium rock tune. Same atmosphere as Last angel, perhaps? Unique beat as well.

the next LOVE - Becomes fast in the end, jazz taste with a feel of the autumn season

Eyes, Smoke, Magic - Introduction has a clown... very weird. Overall, a very light pop track.
--------------------
NaNaNa - dance track, reminiscent of Ladies Night

Shake It♥ - uptempo (タテ乗り?) rock sound, lyrics were a bit erotic. This listener liked half of the song and the other half... not so much.

taskebab - COOL. Would be very nice to hear live.

call - same sort of tempo and atmosphere as MOON

Letter - same tempo as MOON, could be listened to live while shaking a penlight/glowstick

reminds me - song is very heavy and powerful with a very cool melody with a positive message

Return Road - the listener wasn't sure, but it seems like this song is about Mannie lyrically. There are organs, strings, piano, and a choir featured in this song. It has a very solid atmosphere.

Tell me why - also same tempo as MOON with a very unique beat

the next LOVE - jazz sounding, seemed a bit slow at first but there were fast parts that were very cute

Eyes, Smoke, Magic - there's a clown laughing at the start? The entire song feels like a pastel colored atmosphere.
--------------------------------
Return Road has very good lyrics and her voice sounds great in the song! It has a heavy rock sound.
----------------------
the next LOVE's lyrics are being compared to ASFXX's, it seems.

Return Road seems to be written for people who are interested in her divorce.
---------------------
NaNaNa - Like Ladies Night with a LOT of English

taskebab/a cup of tea/Serenade in A minor - instrumentals/interludes

Shake It♥ - 女の子には女の子しか使えない魔法があるのよ

call - ぬくもりがあった涙を拭ってくれたその手でぎゅっと抱きしめてくれた僕は生まれて初めて感じていた感情にま た泣きそうになってたねえ一体あれを何と呼ぶの

Letter - まっすぐでまっすぐで誤解ばかりでなかなか理解をされなくて頑張って頑張ってかっこ悪くてもいいそんな君が 好き

reminds me - 人は誰でも一つや二つ忘れてしまいたい事があるねだけど忘れてしまえないのは忘れちゃいけない 痛みだから

Return Road - そんなことだけでどうしてこんなに涙止まらない私たちが見て感じて誓ったあの形なき 人は面白おかしく言うでしょうこんな私たちを 二人の事は二人にしかわからない

Tell me why - なんでそうやっていつも全て一人で背負って一人で苦しんでるの 全部俺のせいだって自分を責めるの

the next LOVE - (Jazzy sound) 目に見えないものを信じられたのはいつが最後だった目に見えるものだけ信じられる私は大人にな った 自分の事を好きでいられたのはいつが最後だった自分の事を恨むようになった私は大人になった

Eyes, Smoke, Magic - そう私のベストフレンドはダイヤモンドとローズたちそれ以上に価値があるものって何？ママは教 えてくれない

She also seems to mention 'mama' in Eyes, Smoke, Magic as she did in the next LOVE. And in Eyes, Smoke, Magic there's a mention of "my best friends are diamonds and roses."

Someone who went to the first showing tweeted that call made them cry and gave them goosebumps.
