1 LOVE - Thoughts
 

Skipping Startin' there's 1 LOVE. Expecting a lot of this song, lets see.

As soon as it starts you can hear that now, there's going to be something heavy. Heavy with a big H.

The vocals used in this song isn't quite something I've heard Ayumi use before, she's handling it excellently, I like it. JUST ONE LOVE. She always have to mix a little English into her songs, not too bad.

The verses between the choruses and the build up towards the chorus before she sings JUST ONE LOVE is very pushing, umm, hard to find a good word for it.

The arrangements are some of the heaviest Ayumi has used I'd say, it's topped by Because of You in that respect, though.

Another favorite track on the album with this song.

I love drums.

I think that Ayu's outdone her rock self with this entire album.

Back to 1 LOVE:
It's all like, hot and amazing.

I really don't know how else to describe it. The melody is quite haunting, like you're trapped!

I sense some hotness during AT07.

Yes, I feel she specifically constructed this song for some awesome AT07 performance. Listening to it isn't just enough, I must see ayu strut her stuff live! The whole thing just screams it! SCREAMS IT!

Easily the best, ear-catching piece on the whole album for myself. This is right above "kiss o kill".

It's just amazing. ^_^ JUST ONE LOVE~

You both took the words right out of my mouth!

HOT HOT HOT HOT!!! We got a HOT ONE IN THE HOUSE!!!!

Raw power. I love this song to bits - I don't think the chorus sounds bland or monotonous at all, its so full of fuming power that just explodes at the end of the chorus, with the little twist she puts on it. Some of the guitar reminds me of Because of You, but while that song was more angry/heartbroken, 1LOVE is heavier..but at the same time, happier and more.."in your face". I can't quite explain it. So great.

When I listen to this song, I just wanna break stuff.
It's kinda like an anger management song imo. lol.
I love it! It gives me confident when I listen to it...it's like I wanna step out into the world and start screaming.

Too hot, too hot, it's burning my ears! Oh, the chorus! Once I can burn also my eyes with AT07 performance I can die happily...

As I was listening to the intro
I thought of HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR heh
in a good way!
Once again ayu uses new singing techniques
and it's gooooooooood. The rockiness is so energetic
this is probably a concert "Trauma" turns rock and imagine
Enrique and that other dude comes out with their guitars playing against ayu.

@Nu-NRG - A new Trauma, rock version? Haha, I can see her teach dance moves for this one, I think, hahah.

Now I haven't seen the PV yet, but I sure hope she'll do the pole dancing on stage, too :D.

It. Has. BOOM.

The chorus really make the song, though~

And her English here is better than in most of her other songs. o__o

My 2nd favorite off the album.

I really like it. It's catchy but doesn't beat Because of You to me. XDD Pity the song doesn't have the "yeaaah" anymore.

loved the preview, hated the song.

In terms of "wierd" sounding rock, About You beats this by a mile.

I love how the verse doesn't set me up for the chorus at all. :laugh

This song is pretty cool. The whole thing is about the chorus though. until that Day... is still my favorite so far. Onto It was!

It's the sexiest song I've ever heard from ayu! It's going to be AMAZING to hear 1 LOVE live :yes

Well, we'll all end up loving it live, so it's all good.

(typing this as I'm listening to 1 LOVE on FIRST LISTEN)

Rock sounds! I see something ROCKISH coming along! Wow, with Ayu's voice, it's SEXY! I like how it slowly builds up and wow, I'm surprised by the english! "JUST ONE LOVE!"

The chorus is just pure <3. I'm glad the verse melody and chorus melody don't seem to lead into each other. It's disjunct yet perfect for the song! And all the more I like how there's this mini rockish transition between the verse and chorus!

Now it gets to the bridge, yeah yeah for the drums! It reminds me of some other Ayu song but I can't seem to remember what song. SHUCKS, it's not an Ayu song, it's Koda Kumi's NINGYOHIME! Bah, whatever. This song totally owns NINGYOHIME!

Oh my, I need to smash something. It's so energizing! Superb rock song!

I agree how it reminds me of Ningyohime but I hated Ningyohime. This song is just GREAT. 1 LOVE!!!!!!
