I still think that Missing/Melody are just fine on the CD. Their sounds match the colour/look of the album cover.

I think all the songs on & are perfectly fine. All songs are summery. Even hanabi episode 2. If the PV and the crickets aren't convincing, then I don't know what is.
Sweet Season/Virgin Road are fine on L, but Last Angel is pushing it. However, all songs feel like autumn anyway, so all's good.
A is a special case. It has two sounds on it. But LOVEppears channeled those two songs perfectly, so I don't know what to say about it. I guess this single was an indication of the album sound (what singles are suppose to do).
I disagree. If anything Song 4 u sounds like sort of a continuation of progress which stuck out of FIVE like a sore thumb as all the other tracks were ballads/midtempo which doesn't matter as people shouldn't only put similar sounding songs on their albums.

I don't think any of the L songs sound autumnish in fact Sweet Season has a nostalgic summer feeling to it and Last angel could hardly be a "seasonal song". ourselves wasn't summery at all either as it's quite dark >_> In other words I don't think it matters. For instance none of the Memorial address tracks really did fit together, but have worked amazingly well together. This mini album/single doesn't seem to have a theme set (like NEXT LEVEL or Party Queen).

3. **** you Ayu, you should read my mind and please me.
If you take pics out of a magazine photo shoot and attach it to the songs you have previously made you could hardly say you had a certain concept in mind. Especially when the pictures are just close ups of your face which you have done so many many times. Not everything has to have a concept. This might have a concept, but it sure isn't as obvious as some of her older ones
