Love song:
This song starts with a beautiful piano melody and then goes into a hardcore guitar (her classis rock/ballad). I love this song cause it’s very catchy and the lyric has a deep meaning to it. My favorite part of this song would have to be…
Quote:
I have no confidence
To live a life without love
I don't want to imagine
A life without dreams
I can't figure at all
A life without songs
Without uncompromisable thoughts
Life is boring and meaningless
Song- 10/10
Lyric- 10/10


Crossroad:
Hmm… I’m not too fond with this song as much as “Love song” To me, this song sound similar to “blossom” and “MOON” combine into one. It’s good… but it doesn’t fit with my taste so I don’t have much to say about it cause mostly I skip this song, sorry~ Ayu >~<

Song - 7/10
Lyric - 8/10


MOON:
Another rock/ballad! Whoo!!! Not surprise since it’s come from Ayu. I like this song! It has a beautiful melody and very soothing~ I remember when this song first came out and I kept listen to it to the point my cousin was angry with me >3< The lyric is very touching and so Ayu however, it’s not like “OMFG!!! That’s AWESOME!!!” Maybe because it doesn’t related to me… yeah… maybe that’s why…

Song - 8/10
Lyric - 6/10


Sending mail:
YES!!! Finally! A rock/upbeat song!!!! This song reminds me of “Microphone” hmm… I don’t know why but it does! Anyway… I love the chorus and how it repeats and overlap one another. At first (before reading the lyric) I thought this song is a break up song but NOPE! It’s actually a love song… Well duh! The album is named, “Love songs”

Song - 8/10
Lyric - 7/10


Last angel:
I absolutely love this song. This is a song that I’d dance to, like “Trauma”. This song is very very VERY hard to mix if you plan to cover this song (only if you don’t mind sitting at the same place, staring at the screen and adjust or apply effects) You know why I know that… because I’ve been there and done that. It takes me a least an hour to an hour and half to record to recorded and mix for a part of the song!! It was very very frustrated so I ended up not finishing it… hehehe…

Song - 10/10
Lyric - 8/10


Insomnia:
My favorite instrumental song within the whole album. This one reminds me of “Marionettes ~prelude~” Why I love it so much? One word… it’s “creepy” and “high-tech” Well it’s two words but oh well… XD

Song - 10/10

Like a Doll:
I love this song!!! At first, before listen to it, I assumed that it would sound similar to “Marionettes” since you know… Doll and Marionettes are similar… *wink* but anyway, it’s surprisingly not (aww… T^T) This song with Ayu’s original piano melody and SPAM!!! A modern beats came in and blew me away!! Nice one Ayu!! And this is the first song in the album that has some English in it and her English is very good matter of fact.

Song - 10/10
Lyric - 9/10


Aria:
A sweet and mellow instrumental. I like it. I think it’s connect to the upcoming song “blossom”

Song - 7/10

Blossom:
Man… as much I like to give this a 10/10 but… I’m sorry… No… I’m not to fond with this song. Why? Hmm… maybe it sounds similar to her previous song “Fairyland” but hey! You could just ignore the song and just watch how hot Jaejoong in the video. And no… the girl didn’t die… it was Jaejoong instead. I remember my friend (who’s a HUGE fan of Jaejoong) morn for him after she watched the video.

Song - 8/10
Lyric - 8/10


Thank U:
Oh god >~< Man… I have to say this is one of the song that I find annoying. Why? Maybe because in the chorus at the end of the sentence ends with “yo~” Beside that I love the melody.

Song - 7/10
Lyric - 5/10


Sweet Season:
… no comment… JK!!! Again… I’m not too fond with this song either. Hey! Don’t get me wrong! Just because I’m not “fond” with most of the songs, that doesn’t mean I’m a hater… It’s just mean I’m not a lover… XD jk… Anyway, all joke aside. This is song just doesn’t make to my favorite list simply because it’s dull to me. However, the lyric is very sweet… maybe that’s explain the title of the song.

Song - 6/10
Lyric - 8/10

Overture:

This instrumental ties with “do it again” *applause* And the orchestra… BRILIANT!!!

Song - 9/10

Do it again:
YES!!! I’m been waiting to write about this!! I love this song~ At first, I think this song is weird and annoying cause she keeps repeating “Dance dance dance dance…” However, after listen to it after a few time. I was hook to this song. I never thought the song that I thought was “annoying” and “weird” became one of my favorite!!! The lyric has a power message to it. To simplify it… it’s about holding onto your dream and chase after it no matter where you come from and no matter how hard reality is, you should hold onto it. And her English... Hmm... Well, she does have an accent in here but over all it's all good~

Song - 10/10
Lyric - 10/10


November:
A sad ballad. This song reminds me of London for some reason. I don’t like it and I don’t hate it. If I have to choose between this song and “Thank U” I would prefer this song.

Song - 8/10
Lyric - 8/10


Virgin Road:
This song is not just another ballad. But a VERY powerful ballad. I love it! However the lyric bored me. It’s not as intensive nor fit with the song. Sorry~

Song - 10/10
Lyric - 7/10


*Seven Days War:
I didn’t like this song. I hated it! I thought “Why the hell would Ayu wants to cover this song?!” BUT I fell in love with it when I read the lyric. The lyric touch my heart. It speaks about the hardship that one goes to preserve his/her dreams. And it speaks for me and I think it speaks for Ayu. I saw her documentary and she was asked why did she wants to become a singer… and she said “Because I want to find a place that I belong and make it mine” <--- Or something like that… Sorry~ it was long ago when I watch it.

Song - 9/10
Lyric - 100/10
<---- I don’t know if that’s possible or not…

-OVERALL-

I love the album but not as much as "Rock 'n' Roll Circus" because there's not a lot of songs that I like...
