"Story" sounds like a classic Ayu ballad to me. Ayu's usual interviewer said "Pray" was like a classic Ayu ballad, not to me - Story is just.... YES. THERE. THAT.
'No future" definitely sounds like millennial globe track - THIS is the TK sound I like, this kind of melody is one of the things that drew me to J-Pop in the first place. It's nice to hear Ayu do a track that really nails my favorite aspects of the TK sound.
"Show must go on" and "Warning" are my two favorites based on the clips overall.
"The Gift" is about what I expected, which is to say... a sound that, to me, is nothing special - but mixing & lyrics may make me fall in love with it.
Mixing and lyrics are gonna be pretty big factors in my enjoyment of the album overall. This sounds like the ayu on Party Queen and the ayu on Colours had a baby lol - let's just hope it inherited the right features from each one.
