[primavera♥]

here we gooo!!!!! ^___~

1. THE Introduction - well. its sounds dark and darkness is love and so i really liked this one. it sounds good for a tour too and whats the worth of music if it cannot be heard live? any way, i think it could be better if it used actual traditional orchestral instruments. - 8/10

2. Microphone - As otehr ayu rock songs, this does not disappoint me. It is fantastic and powerful. The organ is a nice touch along with the "Tell me why?" etc. The song is definitely full of great emotion especially when considering the lyrics - 10/10

3. count down - its a a lot more suttle than Microphone, however strong it is, it is very doleful. It is sort of the beauty of it. It is a nice sort of rock ballad. The emotion is beautiful and the arrangement is nice. Her vocals here too are great. - 9/10

4. Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ - omg. this is like my least fav ayu song along with Love ~Destiny~. However, i have found that when wanting something peaceful but pretty to listen to this is actually a decent song. It is lackluster but the soft emotion and lyrics that are put into makes it all seem to make sense. overall it is liked but not loved at all. - 6/10

5. BALLAD - a beautiful song in my opinion. like Yw. . . it is not a fav ayu ballad of mine but it is hard to stop listening to it. Besides it being beautiful, it tones everything down and the Oriental sound is gorgeous. The last line gives me chills too. I believe everything works in this song and that it has its own quiet epicness too it. its full of lent and sadness yet beauty. - 9/10

6. Last Links - I loved it! Her vocals especially. It's like one of those acoustic rock ballads that you get from some American band every now and then. Its reminiscent of "It was" to me. Which is good. The lyrics make it great too. I love the power in the vocals and the composition. I would love to hear this live. This is one of those songs that could make me tear with the pure emotion in it which just penetrates so easily - 8.5/10

7. montage - My heart is in this interlude. the orchestral arrangement makes me feel like im listening to a dark little overture (minus few parts here and there). IT has this just dark disturbing beauty that is love in any song. That it is all instrumental is fantastic, lettign the orchestra show the emotion wich does get through to me - 10/10

8. Don't Look Back - One may be quite dense if they do not get the message in this song. Ayu presents it in a beautiful way that is not obviously epic but subtle epic. the arrangement makes it truly amazing and different. It gives a dark and quiet aura but still one that is very imperative. It's hard to describe as any song is hard to describe for me - 10/10

9. Jump! - i love it! what is to love for me is ayu's vocals in the backgroung. It feels like being in an arcade truth be told. Its fun and exciting and clubby. It must be great live too. i just adore - 9/10

10. Lady Dynamite - the song just works. I love the arrangemnt and its empowering overall. the lyrics, the way ayu sings everything. . .It's catchy but not without depth which is what I look for. - 9.5/10

11. Sexy Little Things - Well I love this song. Ayu really seemed to take a new approach and adding the swing sound to the arrangement and composition fit what the song overall tried to present. It is like Lady Dynamite catchy but not without depth. Clearly the emotion in the voice presents a mild admonishing sarcasm which does not require anything sort of epic. Overall the overall point and cuteness of the song got across to me. Ayu pulled it off fine. - 9.5/10

12. Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ - I am a Sunrise lover. This song is just so full of fun and love that for me its impossible not to feel what ayu is trying to give here. It radiates love and joy all over. the arrangement is fun too. Frankly it is her best summer song to perform live to me although not my favorite. I give it that too considering before recordings came about its all about live emotion. This song is just cool day brightener that i take to the beach - 9/10

13. meaning of Love - forget Sunset, this song is what lacks any sort of appeal to me. However the mood of love that ayu gives off in this song does penetrate and thats what saves it. I'm never super fond of ballads yet ayu's usually get to my heart. This one did not as much. just the love did. Simply the love. And the vocals were fine too. Pretty typical arrangement though - 5.5/10

14. You were . . . - i really loved the single and i Loved this song too. like BALLAD i cant just stop listening to it once I start. It's so pretty and the emotion in it is just soo sad. usually ayu love songs don't make me cry but this one can. I like the arrangement too. Her vocals were nice too - 8.5/10

15. RED LINE ~for TA~ - I didn't realize how much i liked this song until recently. And the album version made me like slightly better. It gives off the perfect Wintery mood too. It's happy and encouraging. The arrangement makes it better too. I too liked the acapella at the end - 7.5/10


Overall - 8.6/10

The album is nice and the fact that it is circus theme makes me happy it isnt so cohesive. It works when I picture it like that. Also the world of Rock'n'Roll presents fun but there are always dark sides. That i think the album presents too. Many songs are lovable, however there are just a few that are not so special as seems with most ayu albums. i am very specific with what music I like and dislike and this album tested me. But i came out with my observations and feelings that this is truly really music and an overall great album. ^___^
