My random take on Dejavu


Prologue to Dejavu - It sounded so much more different than that I expected. I love the way it led into POP DIVA so perfectly. <3 I really like it.

POP DIVA - Still a great song to dance to! I've held back from hearing it in HQ since I first heard the LQ version, and it sounds so much better.

Lollipop - Hasn't got old for me yet Cute, fun song.

Okay - I love the intro, very R&B and different from the rest of the first few songs. I was expecting there to be a big chorus but there wasn't. But still isn't boring, however that stopped it becoming one of my favourites.

逢いたくて - Her voice sounds great in this! Another sweet little ballad from Kuu, but not up there with MOON CRYING for me personally.

Passing By - Really like the piano! Kuu's voice and the guy's really match, I surprisingly liked it. Very R&B, and the engrish wasn't too grating.

AT THE WEEKEND - To me, it sounds like the album's ECSTASY/TABOO song. Really catchy, toned-down song.

Interlude - Created with the same creative thought that went into the Prologue, nothing too different but still a nice interlude that fits in with the album theme and leads out from AT THE WEEKEND to Melting really nicely.

Melting - Really cute song, leads into Hey baby! really well too - alot of thought went into the song placement in this album Not a favourite but it flows within the album.

Hey baby! - Another "I can so dance to this!" feel song, I like the electro beats and the chorus is catchy~ It's a little too short for my liking though, I wish it was longer.

ちょい足しLife - The intro is really cool, but the rest of the song is so-so for me. I feel like I've heard it a million times before, and it's a little too repetitive for me.

あなただけが - I love this~ I was humming along to it by the time the second chorus played. A great RnB ballad.

好きで、好きで、好きで。 - I can never overplay this. I've always loved her vocals in this song.

Bambi - A really different song from Kuu; I usually dislike most country songs but her voice really suits the genre, and it's just too adorable

I Don't Love You !?? - It's a cool, retro song Really like the chorus! One of my definite favourites from Dejavu from the first listen.

Summary~

Although doesn't beat TRICK or Black Cherry for me, there's some great songs in here and it's cohesive in the quality of the songs. No songs that I'd use to "represent" Kuu jump out at me - but it's an album I'll be putting on repeat all day. Love it. 8.5/10.
