I like the concept and she does execute it throughout the album by the circus arrangement~! This is the first time I listen to an original album of her.
And her homepage is excellent compared with ayu's(which is boring, I hv to admit)
The whole package of trick is awesome~!
Track by track:
intro: nice to begin, I like the "crowd" sound. 8/10
taboo: luv the trance arrangement, cool song. 10/10
show girl: that circus feel fits the song title. 10/10
your love: a little boring. 7/10
stay with me: a typical ballad of her, not too impressive. 7.5/10
this is not a love song: fun but quite cheesy 6/10
Driving: strong beat! I like the verse much more than the chorus 8/10
Bling x 3: mehhhhhhhhhhhhh 3/10
That ain't cool: too repetitive to me, it's not cool at all 4/10
hurry up! : sounds like that ain't cool, but i like the arrangement 4/10
Moon Crying: too bland, very similar to her previous ballads 6/10
JTWUR: an obvious filler to me, i enjoy the melody and the way she sings "I like you" though 6/10
Joyful: filler #2, once in a while you will find songs sound like this from kuu, i thought it was an xmas song at the beginning 7/10
愛のことば: again, ballads on this album just don't work on me, boring, but the last note is cool 6/10
Venus: What can I say!? this song just ends the album flawlessly , but i'm sure i've heard it before. I absolutely adore her "I'm your Five..yargh..." 9/10
Overall: it's 7.5/10 to me, good job kuuuuuuu~
