They are classics among the public, but this don't really reflect quality... Ayu was at the peak of her fame that time, so it's obvious people will remember this singles more than the new ones were she is already an old face
All I know, is that the first time I heard evolution or Surreal or Audience etc. etc. I immediately knew they were something special and amazing. Whereas none of her recent singles quite reach that standard. And her songs being great was a big part of the reason why she was at the top of her popularity then.

I'm sure we will be hearing Seasons for years and years to come, but will we still be hearing Days? And I'm saying this even though I actually LIKE Days.

All right, I'll get into the translating comments about the new songs too.

"I can't decide whether I like or dislike this album. I like the singles, but I may not like the rest until I have listened to them a lot."

"I worry to buy an album like this. I'm going to wait to download full versions, then I'll decide."

Ohhh, I see the Morning Musume comments too. I'm actually a Momosu fan, but I don't know how I feel about that for Ayu.

I also see a number of comments regarding the lyrics and that some of them seem to not have enough thought put into them (similar to the criticism of Sparkle).

Also it appears that there is a lot of English on the album......

People seem to like Curtain Call though and are saying its emotional. Someone even says that it is a "Gospel Ballad." Are we getting B&D ballad version? lol.

I haven't read enough comments yet to really say, but overall the reaction is mixed at best.

btw, I'm not using 2ch like Coelcanth - so that's two sources with Morning Musume mentions....maybe there really is something Musumish on here.
